Abels Mobile Service,
Repairs & M.O.T
Mobile mechanic, repairs and MOTs, we come to you.
Tell Dave the reg, your postcode and what it is doing. He comes to the car — at home, at work, or wherever it has stopped.
What he does
Most of what a garage does — and he comes to you.
Quotes are given on the phone, on the car in front of him — not off a price list written for somebody else's motor.
- · Servicing that will not invalidate a manufacturer’s warranty
- · Free, no-obligation quotes

Servicing
An oil and filter change through to a full service, done where the car is parked.

Amazing service from David, I spoke to him about my vehicle dinner time and he fixed it the same day! Lovely guy and great reliable services. Thank you ☺️

Amazing man named Dave helped fix my car and made it safe, he kept me updated the whole way through, he is honestly one of the best I’ve been to, I’ve been to a few but none like Dave, I would 100000% recommend him to anyone and everyone
-
Good communication and friendly service. Would really recommend.

Genuinely the best garage I’ve ever used, and I’ve used many over the years up and down the UK. David will do absolutely anything to help you and get your car safe, fixed and back on the road. He’s extremely reliable, friendly, fair, thorough and quick! The prices literally don’t compare to anywhere else, they’re better than any other place. I’d been messed around by another garage and was at my wits end as my car had sat for months when I was unwell. I’d tried calling multiple other garages before I saw Abel’s and I was genuinely impressed by the consistent 5 star reviews because perfect scores aren’t common at all. David beyond passes the 5 star reviews and it’s clear why there are only perfect reviews. He fit me in quickly and didn’t let me down once, keeping me updated along the way which I really appreciated. He was very honest with me and didn’t mess me around like many other places. Thank you so much David! If I was still in the area, I’d keep bringing my cars to you! I appreciate your work and kindness. 1000000000🌟⬆️ My car has never run better!

Reg, postcode, and what it is doing. That is all he needs to get started.
Questions
Before you ring.
Do you come to me?
Yes — that is the whole job. Dave works on the car where it is, at home or at work, around Middlesbrough and out across the North East.
Can you do my MOT?
He collects the car, takes it for its test and brings it back — he has been doing MOTs that way for years. The test itself has to happen at an approved station, so ring Dave and he will arrange it.
What does it cost?
Ring and ask. Prices depend on the car and the job, so Dave quotes on the phone rather than publishing a list written for somebody else’s motor.
What do you need from me?
The registration, your postcode, and what the car is doing. A photo or a short video of the noise helps.
How do I book?
Call 07876 283366 or send a WhatsApp to Dave. Hours are on this page, seven days.
