On-site repair call-outs
Promote work you can complete at the customer’s location, such as battery replacement or diagnostics. Explain when a workshop is needed.

A flat battery on a drive can be a straightforward visit. A clutch may need a workshop. Say that before you travel, and look at the time spent on call-outs you could not finish.

Qualify and measure enquiries
Collect the postcode, vehicle and symptoms. Compare completed visits after parts and travel.
Say when the car needs a workshop
Diagnostics, batteries and some servicing fit a mobile visit. Gearboxes and jobs that need a ramp do not. The page should draw that line.
Calls that are worth the drive
A battery or a no-start
Ask for the postcode, the vehicle and what it is doing. These are the visits a mobile mechanic can often finish.
A service at the customer’s home
Ask whether you can get under the car safely. A low sports car on a slope is a different job.
A repair that needs a ramp
Do not advertise it as a mobile visit. Send it to a workshop partner or exclude the search.
What to record
Postcode, vehicle and symptoms. Compare completed visits with ones that failed after travel and parts. The miles matter as much as the call-out fee.
What this looks like in practice
A flat battery on a driveway might be a straightforward visit. A clutch fault may need a workshop. Set expectations before travelling and look at revenue after the time spent on unsuccessful call-outs.
Questions before you spend on ads
Which repairs should a mobile mechanic advertise?
Start with repairs you can carry out safely at the customer’s location. Ask about access and symptoms so visits requiring a ramp can be redirected early.
How do I work out what I paid for the work?
Add Google ad spend and management fees, then divide that by the number of completed mobile repairs linked to those ads. Include any setup fee in a separate first-month calculation. Use the same period for spend and results, and keep repeat calls, cancellations and unfinished enquiries out of the final count.
Questions from local owners
How far should a mobile mechanic advertise?
Inside the distance you can drive and still make the hourly rate. Widen it only for jobs that earn the fuel.
What should the ad be honest about?
The work you can finish on site, and the work that needs a ramp.
What is a result?
Visits completed on site, after parts and travel, not every call you had to refer to a garage.
