Mobile mechanic
in Ilkeston
Twenty minutes east and shared with Long Eaton on most runs. Hilly in parts, which occasionally decides where we can work rather than whether we can.

A town built on a slope
Not steep enough to be a problem most of the time. Steep enough that it is worth a sentence when you book.
We chock wheels as standard and we will not work under a car on a slope that is anything other than mild. If your drive is the steep sort, we will usually suggest a flat bay nearby rather than cancelling.
Away from the hillside streets it is ordinary estate work: driveways, room to move, and easy access. Cotmanhay and Kirk Hallam in particular are straightforward.
Ilkeston shares a run with Long Eaton most weeks, so if you ring and we are already going that way you will get the earlier slot.

DE7Asked in Ilkeston
My street is steep. Can you still work on it?
Usually. A mild slope is fine and we chock the wheels either way. Anything steep enough to be unsafe under the car and we will find a flat bay nearby instead.
How often are you in Ilkeston?
Most weeks, usually paired with Long Eaton. Ask when you ring and we will tell you the next day we are already coming.
Can you come in the evening?
For shorter jobs, often yes. Light is the limit in winter rather than the hour, and the van carries its own.
Is there a call-out charge?
Not anywhere on the patch, Ilkeston included.
