Why book a mobile caravan mechanic instead of a workshop.

If you have a caravan in Sydney, you already know how hard it is to get one serviced. Most workshops are booked weeks out. They want you to drop the van off, leave it for a day or three, and pick it up when they are done. The towing alone is a non-trivial exercise.

A mobile mechanic removes all of that. We bring the workshop to your van. The work happens where the van lives, whether that is a residential driveway in the Inner West, a storage yard in Penrith, or a caravan park anywhere from Cronulla to Manly. You do not move the van, you do not take a day off work to deliver it, you do not pay tow truck fees if it is not currently roadworthy.

What a mobile caravan mechanic does (and what we do not).

We do almost everything a fixed workshop does. The exceptions are jobs that genuinely need workshop equipment (full structural repair, major chassis work, paint booth jobs) or jobs that require licensed tradespeople we do not have on staff (240V electrical, gas plumbing). For those we either refer you out or subcontract on your behalf, depending on which is cleaner.

What we do in-house

  • Annual servicing across all common Australian van builds
  • Brakes, bearings, hubs, drums, brake controllers, magnets, seals
  • 12V DC electrical (wiring, fuses, lighting, solar, batteries, charge controllers, BMS diagnosis)
  • Fresh water plumbing (taps, pumps, hot water units, tanks, lines)
  • Awning service and minor repairs
  • Window seals, flyscreens, door locks, jockey wheels
  • Roof reseals and the signature ceiling replacement service
  • Detailing and cosmetic work
  • Pre-purchase inspections (for vans you are looking to buy)

What we coordinate via licensed trades

  • 240V electrical (mandatory licensed electrician work in NSW)
  • Gas plumbing (mandatory licensed gasfitter work)
  • Major structural or chassis repair (workshop required)
  • Manufacturer warranty work (must be done by authorised dealer)

How a mobile mechanic visit actually works.

One operator, one service vehicle, fully equipped. The van carries an inverter and lithium house battery system so we run our tools without a generator (so no neighbour complaints, no petrol smell, no noise above a normal conversation level). A compressor and air tools for bearing and brake work. A pressure washer and water filtration setup for detailing. A wet-dry vac and steam extractor for cleaning. A small parts store with the consumables for almost every common repair (bearings, seals, fuses, taps, sealants, screens).

Most jobs are completed in one visit. If parts need to be ordered, we quote on the spot and book the return at no extra callout fee.

What we need from you on the day.

Same as any mobile service:

  • A 10A power outlet within roughly 20 metres of the van
  • A garden tap within roughly 20 metres
  • Vehicle access close enough to reach the van with our service vehicle

That covers every Sydney driveway, every serviced caravan park, and almost every storage yard. The exceptions are bush blocks and unserviced acreage, which we either quote an off-grid surcharge for or recommend you bring the van somewhere it works.

Common reasons people book us.

Annual service due

The recurring one. Most caravans need a full service every year or every 10,000km. Insurers expect it, manufacturers recommend it, and it catches small problems before they become trip-ruining ones. Our Annual Service starts at $595 for single-axle vans.

Something has stopped working

A tap is dripping. The fridge does not turn on when off grid. A light is dim. A brake is squealing. These are the jobs where the diagnostic-first model works best. Book the relevant visit (plumbing, 12V, brakes), we identify the fault, we quote the fix, we do the work if you approve.

Pre-trip nerves

You have a big trip coming up. The van has been sitting since last year. You want someone to give it a proper look before you commit to a 5,000km loop with the family in tow. Our Pre-Trip Check at $290 is the lighter inspection version, half the depth of an Annual Service but a lot more thorough than a once-over.

Pre-purchase inspection

You have your eye on a used van. The seller's mechanic says it is fine. You want a second opinion from someone independent. We come to where the van is being viewed, do a full inspection, give you a written report. Costs roughly the same as a Pre-Trip Check. Easily the best $290 you will spend before parting with $40,000+.

Insurance claim coordination

You have hail damage, water damage, or other claimable damage. We can do the inspection, write the assessment, and quote the repair. For the actual repair, depending on the work, we either do it ourselves or coordinate with the insurer's preferred repairer.

Where we cover.

Sydney metro, about 40km from the CBD. That is everything from Penrith and Richmond in the west, Sutherland and Cronulla in the south, the Northern Beaches up to Manly, Hornsby and the Hills District to the north, the Inner West and Eastern Suburbs in between.

If you are at the edge of that range (Central Coast, Wollongong, Blue Mountains beyond Penrith), ask. We sometimes go further for a full day's work or a cluster of bookings, but not for a single hour-long callout.

FAQ.

What if my van breaks down on the road?

We are a booked-visit operation, not a roadside assist. For a genuine roadside emergency call NRMA or your roadside provider first. If the van has been recovered to a location in Sydney metro and needs repair before you can use it again, that is exactly the kind of next-day booking we prioritise.

Do you carry spare parts?

The common ones, yes. Bearings, seals, brake shoes, fuses, taps, sealants, screens, basic 12V hardware. About 70% of repair jobs can be completed in a single visit because the parts are already on the van. The rest we quote on the spot and book a return.

What does it cost compared to a workshop?

Roughly the same on labour rates, often less on parts (we mark up less than the average workshop), and you save the towing cost (which is significant for any non-roadworthy van) plus the day of work you would otherwise lose to dropping off and picking up. For the most common services we publish fixed prices, so you can compare directly against any workshop quote.

What hours do you work?

Mon to Fri 6am to 6pm, Saturday 10am to 2pm. We can sometimes accommodate after-hours by arrangement for urgent work. Sundays we are closed.

Can I get an inspection report I can give to my insurer?

Yes. We can produce a written inspection report on request as part of any Annual Service or pre-trip check. Most insurers accept these as evidence of recent professional inspection for claim purposes.
