Why our car mechanic quotes are different
At Mobile Mechanic OnSite we prioritise clear, honest pricing. Our quotes break down the work into call-out, diagnostics, parts and labour so you can see exactly what you’re paying for. That means no hidden fees, no surprise adjustments after the job is complete.
Quick Call-out Quote
We tell you the call-out fee and ETA up-front so you can decide before we drive to you.
Transparent Diagnostics
We explain diagnostic steps and costs — you only pay for the tests needed to identify the issue.
Itemised Repair Quotes
Parts, labour and GST shown separately. Optional repairs are clearly marked so you can choose what to do now or later.
Common quote elements we provide:
- Call-out fee and estimated travel time
- Diagnostic cost and expected timeframe
- Parts list with brands/options and exact costs
- Labour hours and hourly rate (labour capped per quoted job)
- Warranty coverage on parts and labour
How we create your quote — simple, fast, and fair
When you call or message, we'll ask for your location, vehicle make/model, symptoms and any warning lights. Based on that we give an immediate estimated call-out fee and likely diagnostic time. Once on-site we perform diagnostics and produce an itemised repair quote — you approve before work starts.
Typical turnaround: initial call quote within minutes • on-site diagnosis and itemised quote in 15–45 minutes depending on complexity.

Frequently asked questions about quotes
Do you charge a call-out fee?
We’ll tell you the call-out fee when you call. Many inner suburbs have no call-out fee; some outer areas may incur a travel fee. Call-out fees cover travel, fuel and time. If you proceed with repairs, diagnostic fees are often credited to the final bill.
Will diagnostic costs be added to the quote?
Diagnostic costs are shown separately. If you approve repairs, we typically apply diagnostic fees toward the total repair cost — we won’t double-charge.
What if extra work is required during repairs?
If we discover additional issues, we pause work and call you with an updated itemised quote. You choose whether to proceed — we never continue without your approval.
Do you offer fixed-price quotes?
Yes — for many common jobs we provide fixed-price quotes that include parts and labour. For complex work we provide an itemised estimate with labour caps or hourly rates so there are no surprises.
Are parts covered by warranty?
Parts come with manufacturer or supplier warranties. Labour warranty varies by repair type — we’ll include warranty details in your quote before work begins.
