The 5 best mobile mechanics in Sydney you can rely on
If you regularly take your car to the shop for maintenance, congratulations — you’re already a more conscientious car owner than most. But certain problems are hard to predict, like getting a fluid leak or your battery deciding that it’s the perfect day to quit.
You can’t drive to the repair shop if your oil is gone or your battery has become a paperweight. Wouldn’t it be neat if a mechanic could come straight to your doorstep to fix the problem?
Fortunately, many do. Our list of the best mobile mechanics in Sydney will have you back on the road again in no time.
How much does a mobile mechanic cost in Sydney?
Mobile mechanic services in Sydney start at around $110 for call-outs and basic repairs. Major services, fluid replacements, and larger or more complex vehicles will increase the total price. Your location might also incur a travel fee for the mechanics.

They get the job done with no fuss
“Quick and efficient! I had a last minute prepurchase car inspection done with these guys and had no issues with their service. They supplied videos and photos and also helped with me gauging the costs of the issues that they found – which was very helpful in my negotiation with the seller.”

3. Loyal Mobile Mechanic Sydney
Address: 20/7 Renshaw Street Cranebrook
Phone: +61272320509 / 0420566766

Loyal Mobile Mechanic is an all-in-one, family-operated car servicing solution in Sydney. They perform standard car service (both major and minor tasks), services for diesel vehicles, e-safety checks, pre-purchase inspections, and even trailer servicing.
You can get some of their smaller services for free, such as battery testing and replacement work, as well as brake checks. Their mechanics will also advise you if your vehicle has any worn-out parts that need replacing.
Loyal Mobile Mechanic is meticulous about quoting fixed prices when possible, and will not carry out any additional work (and thus charge you more) without your approval.
Before they begin any work, you can let them know what kind of budget you’re working with, and they’ll coordinate with you to stay within it.
That said, their website doesn’t provide much information about their service pricing. They do have a running loyalty promo where you can get a discounted rate ($49) for your next visit after the 10th one.
Big shout out to Baz!
“Baz’s service and communication saved me from purchasing a dud vehicle, which enabled me to purchase the right car for me when he completed a second inspection on my 4WD hunt.”
– Jake Mortimer, Google review
I cannot recommend Baz and the team enough
“I honestly would have paid double the price for the attention to detail and service they provided. I know my way around cars but what Baz knew and was able to determine was nothing short of unreal. No matter what car I buy and where I buy it, I want Baz to look over it.”

Friendly, responsive, professional, and punctual
“I’m really glad I found this shop! Adam is so friendly, responsive, professional, and punctual. He explained the situation of my car thoroughly to help me understand the issue. I got my car repaired and the pink slip done with a reasonable price!”

“Mel was a life saver! We got messed around at a few other local places and I’m so glad I decided to look for a second opinion. Mel fit us in the same day, came to our home, was quick, efficient and professional. She clearly knows her stuff, she’s highly skilled.”
– Jessica Greenfield, Google review
A breath of fresh air
“Not having to put up with the standard “talking down to”, side glances in the mechanic’s shop, or having people speak to my husband or sons instead of me about the cars is brilliant. Being treated with such respect and detailed answers to my questions on what’s happening and why things have broken down… is such a help.”
– Lyle Steffensen, Google review
