Mobile Mechanic Needed (S7)

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I wonder if anyone could recommend a good mobile mechanic, only I’m having problems with my battery draining.

For a bit of background once jump started the car goes fine. At first I thought the problem could be weather related, however the recent milder weather along with the increasing frequency of needing to jump start the car suggests some other cause.

 

Anyway I took it to Halfords last night to test battery to establish whether this is my alternator, a weak/ faulty battery or faulty wiring and wouldn’t you know sometime between jumpstarting on Sunday night and arriving at Halfords my bonnet release cable had decided to detach. Needless to say I wasn’t able to either open the bonnet or check the battery. And just to rub salt into the wound when I went to start the car this morning I discovered that the battery is now flat and can’t get the bonnet up to jump start it to take to a garage.

 

Having checked YouTube I’ve found out how to release the bonnet but don’t have the confidence / jack to do it myself

and would really appreciate recommendations on reliable mobile mechanics contact.

 

I actually suspect my car stereo, which no longer works, might be draining the battery might but I don’t know how to get the stereo out and I it was in the car when I bought it don’t have the tools to take it out myself, so advice on how to get that out would also be really helpful too =.

 

Anyway thanks for reading my sorry and somewhat pathetic tale of woe, I really look forward to receiving your recommendations. For what it’s would I’m based in Nether Edge, but I guess that would not be as important for a Mobile Mechanic and would ideally like it if the person could attend today or tomorrow.

 

Ps . I did actually do a quick forum search for mobile mechanic, but saw that a lot of the threads didn’t actually make recommendations before getting hijacked by debates on the speed that jobs can be performed. Also not sure whether information from 2011 would still be relevant :/. As you problably now a lot can change in three years!

 

Ps. Have already contacted http://www.jbautorepairs.co.uk/prices.htm or 0794 4609 964 (left voicemail) and know of Mick Harrison 07891295319 (can’t get through) so any other options would be gladly received.

 

Many thanks
