Services
Mobile Vehicle Repairs
Our mobile vehicle repair service brings expert mechanics directly to your location across Leicestershire and South Nottinghamshire. We handle brake replacements, steering repairs, battery changes, and comprehensive diagnostics using fully equipped vans. This service eliminates garage waiting times while maintaining manufacturer warranty standards, with work stamped in service books. Our qualified technicians ensure quality repairs at competitive prices.
ECU Remapping
ECU remapping optimises engine performance by adjusting fuel mixture, ignition timing, and turbo boost parameters. We specialise in improving fuel economy, increasing horsepower, and enhancing throttle response for both petrol and diesel vehicles. Our technicians use advanced software to customise engine maps, delivering measurable performance benefits while maintaining reliability and safety standards for modern vehicles.
Car Servicing
Our 50-point servicing schedule includes oil and filter changes, spark plug replacements, and comprehensive vehicle inspections. We offer mobile servicing options with full guarantees on parts and labour. Additional benefits include contamination cleaning for fuel systems and detailed service reports, ensuring vehicles maintain optimal performance and retain warranty validity through proper maintenance records.
Brake Fluid Change
Regular brake fluid changes prevent moisture contamination that can lead to brake failure. We replace old fluid with manufacturer-approved alternatives, inspecting entire brake systems for wear or leaks. This essential maintenance extends brake component lifespan and maintains optimal stopping performance, following vehicle manufacturers' recommended two-year service intervals for safety compliance.
Hydroclean Engine Decarbonisation
Hydroclean technology removes carbon deposits from engines using hydrogen injection, restoring performance and fuel efficiency. This process cleans DPFs, EGR valves, and turbo components without disassembly, addressing starting issues and power loss. The non-invasive treatment extends engine longevity while reducing emissions and improving combustion efficiency for diesel vehicles.

Fantastic help from the Mobile Garage People, I recently over filled my engine oil and the car was show an error for it to be serviced due to the engine oil levels (however as I know I put too much in I didn't fancy the BMW service charges). So a quick call to the Mobile Garage People I was able to pop over and they took out the excess oil I had put into the car which fixed the issue. Great quality service and prices too I will certainly be back to get the BMW remapped to make the most out of the engine.

Faultless service. As a fully qualified mechanical engineer myself (lacking sufficient equipment and time) I was very impressed with the diagnostic capabilities both in terms of speed amd precision. Friendly can do attitude and generally very helpful and inrotmative staff means I really cannot recommend this place enough

Michael and the team at the mobile garage people did an amazing job as always. On multiple occasions I have used them now and every time they over deliver especially at 6am and you need a new battery. Above and beyond on the service I expected

Pretty much always go the Mobile Garage People for my BMW and Audi servicing, and general repairs. They tend to be cheaper than my local garage, much cheaper than the dealership but more importantly they offer great service and communication. It's not always easy to take time out of work to hang about at a garage, so lucky we have a mobile team that can come to us instead! great stuff guys keep up the good work!

Lucy and her team from the Mobile Garage people recently carried out some work on the brakes of my Reanult Kangoo van. Their system of coming to my home and carry out the work allowed me to spend the day catching up with some overdue paperwork, rather than losing half a day hanging around a dingy waiting room in a garage waiting for the work to be done. The mechanic arrived at the agreed time and carried out the repairs quickly and efficiently. I will certainly recommend the Mobile Garage People to anyone who needs a way to get their car or van repaired without having to take time off work.

When my 6 year old, 57,000 mile VW T5 threw its 3rd EGR valve I decided to ask Michael and Dean about a more sensible solution to this known VW shortcoming. Their solution, blank off the EGR reprogram the ECU and while they were at it give me a few more ponies. The result, the T5 now runs smoother and sweeter than ever, meets all the regs AND cost less than fitting a new valve. If your vehicle needs a regular service or something more, talk to the experts at The Mobile Garage People. You won't regret it.

I am not just saying this and I rarely leave feedback but I found this garage to be so amazing that I want to let everyone know. I found Micheal to be so knowledgeable, honest, reliable and for the first time I trusted what a garage told me, nothing was too much trouble. I cannot recommend a garage highly enough, Micheal you are a star, thank you. A*****

Thank you so much for getting me back on the road last week so quickly. An unscheduled breakdown was not on the cards on a Friday lunchtime but the team got to work straight away to get my poorly Mini back up and running! A great service as always from start to finish.

After being passed from garage to garage and 100s of pounds out of pocket trying to resolve the never ending problems with my VW TOUAREG v10 I was approached by the mobile garage team who seen my cry for help on a owners club forum. After meeting in person they quickly gave me a honest and very competitive price to diagnose and fix the problem.... needless to say I now have my car back how it should be and it was a huge job for them to take on... but quickly fixed and kept me up to date with step by step progress. I will now only use this garage from now on. Great work
