What to know
What mobile does well
Batteries, starters, some clutch/bleed jobs, servicing where lifts are not essential, and first-look diagnostics. You save a recovery tow for simple no-starts.
Limits
No authorised MOT at the kerb. Complex jobs may still end at a workshop. Weather and parking in denser parts of Colwyn Bay can block a visit.
Checks before booking
Public liability insurance, how they dispose of oil, and whether they VAT-register invoices. Agree call-out vs job price.
Local note for Colwyn Bay
Compare quotes in writing — ask what is included before authorising extra work on the day.
