I looked on this site for a reputable roadside mechanic with lots of great reviews and came up with About Town Mobile Mechanics. I logged onto their site and put in my details for a free quote. Robert rang me in less than 10 minutes, after a brief discussion he was able to tell me the problem was most likely not going to be able to be fixed roadside and was not only good enough to recommend me where to get it fixed but he got in touch with the repairer and had them call me within 5 minutes. I can definitely vouch for the integrity and of this service and Robert was extremely helpful in getting me back on the road.

I just wanted to say thank you to Robert from About Town Mobile Mechanics for the exceptional service he provided in assessing my car recently. Within 1 minute of requesting a quote online I received a phone call and then 15 minutes later Robert was at my home fixing my car. The service provided was genuine, honest, extremely prompt and friendly. I highly recommend this business.

Approximate cost: $110.00

Called About Town Mobile because a friends car had broken down. It was the 3rd time I've used them and service is always excellent. In this instance, the mechanic actually talked us through the problem over the phone rather than coming out and charging us. We managed to fix the issue ourselves at no cost. Staff are always friendly and proficient.

I called About Town Mobile Mechanics Melbourne last week my car had broken down and it wasn't able to be fixed on the side of the road Rob the mobile mechanic was fantastic he organized a tow truck over the phone fast the tow truck picked me and my car up within the hour and dropped it off to my house.

This business has great customer service as it's number 1 priority in mind and can be trusted if you need emergency roadside assistance in Melbourne.

So if you need breakdown towing or a simple jump start or a new car battery you won't find a more honest business than this one!!!

After reading all the glowing reviews about this business, I gave Rob a call.

HOWEVER, HE IS NOW ONLY OFFERING ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE and has declined service and repair work, effective January 2011.

He was very upfront and honest about this, as he was not wishing to take on any new service/repair customers and is trying to (politely) tell his existing customers that he can no longer do their work.

A great pity as he sounded like the mechanic I was looking for. Bugger!

Asked Rob for major service for my bomb. He was polite and well spoken. He explained everything, fixed all the problems I pointed out and picked up on others that I never really noticed cos I don't understand much about cars. He also made recommendations on what to do with my car to keep it running smoothly. What more could a bloke ask for!

Updated: I've driven the car since then and it's very obvious that Rob has done a great job. All the crap I had to put up with has gone. It's a much smoother ride despite still being a bomb.

I got Robert to inspect a car in that I was thinking of purchasing. He provided a very comprehensive and unbias report and went above and beyond the level of service I had expected. I'm so impressed and he has restored my faith in human kind... by the way I didn't end up buying the car... I reckon Robert saved me thousands on future repair bills.

Approximate cost: $300

Great Service, very honest, totally trust worthy, I'm a single mother and I know nothing about cars, so to find someone who I can trust is great. Thanks again Rob, the whole family will be using this service from now on.

I don't know about you, but I don't trust mechanics easily! About Town Mobile Mechanics owned by Rob has restored by faith in this service ...well as far as Rob is concerned; can't imagine using anyone else now. Rob is a professional, courteous, respectful, organised and transparent service provider. He arrived within the alloted time range. He gave an informative overview of the work done and the condition of the vehicle. He was transparent and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommendeed.

Approximate cost: $200.00

The service was professional, speedy and highly convenient. The fact that I didn't need to take time off from work was great. Mostly the service was very thorough and the result was very satisfactory. It was a real pleasure driving my car after the service. Everything was fixed and there were recommendations for future services, which are very appreciated.
