– £15–£25 per hour depending on experience
– Overtime paid at time and a half
– Fully equipped company van and fuel card
– Performance bonus scheme
– 40-hour week

🚗 This Ford Focus came in because something just didn't feel quite right.

After inspecting the vehicle, we found the wet belt was starting to break down.

The problem with wet belts is that as they deteriorate, debris can circulate through the engine and potentially cause serious damage if left unchecked.

Thankfully, this one was caught early.

We replaced the belt before it became a much bigger problem, giving the customer peace of mind and helping avoid major repairs down the line.

Sometimes your car won't give you a warning light or break down completely. If something feels different, it's always worth getting it checked.

When a vehicle comes in with a fault, plugging in a diagnostic machine is just one part of the process.

We use fault codes to guide our investigation, then analyse the live data, check manufacturer technical specifications, and carry out further testing to identify the root cause of the problem.

On this Citroën Berlingo, that meant testing wiring and carrying out fuel injector leak-down tests to ensure we had an accurate diagnosis before recommending any repairs.

Why is this important?

✅ Accurate diagnosis
✅ No unnecessary parts replacement
✅ Time and resources saved
✅ Confidence that the fault is being addressed correctly

Modern vehicles are becoming increasingly complex, which is why a thorough diagnostic approach is so important. Taking the time to test and verify a fault helps ensure the right repair is carried out from the outset.

If you have a warning light on your dashboard or a fault you'd like investigated, get in touch with DRS Mechanics and we'll be happy to help.

That's why we take a different approach.

✅ Honest advice
✅ Clear explanations
✅ Options that work for you and your budget
✅ No unnecessary work

When you're self-employed, having your van off the road can mean losing valuable time and resources. That's why, we went directly to this customer's job site. instead and we carried out the repairs while he got on with his day.

By repairing it on-site, he didn't have to stop working, arrange transport, or lose a days work. Just handed over the keys and carried on with the job.

Car issues in a foreign country… sounds like something out of a nightmare.
Thankfully, they found DRS Mechanics 🔧

This Citroën C4 needed a coolant pipe replacement while the owners were over in Wales visiting from France. Safe to say, breaking down on holiday definitely wasn’t part of the plan.

We quickly diagnosed the fault, sourced the parts, and had the car turned around the very next day so they could get back on the road exploring our beautiful Wales.

Needless to say, the couple were very happy to be enjoying their trip again

Do you actually need to replace your timing belt?

Short answer… yes 😬

Your timing belt is one of those parts people forget about until it’s too late - but when it fails, it’s rarely a small repair.

We’re talking:
❌ Serious engine damage
❌ Bent valves
❌ Complete breakdowns
❌ Sometimes even full engine rebuilds

Most vehicles need the timing belt replaced around 60k–100k miles or every 5–7 years depending on the manufacturer.

The scary part?
They usually give little to no warning before they go.

This is one of those jobs that might feel a lot now… but ignoring it can go into the thousands later 💥

Still not sure if you need yours changed? Pop 'BELT' below and we'll happily advise you.

Broken down in a car park? 😩
You might assume that you’ll need a tow truck… but not always 👀

This customer’s vehicle wouldn’t start due to a faulty starter motor.
Instead of paying for recovery and waiting days for a garage slot, they called DRS Mechanics

✅ We diagnosed the fault on-site
✅ Replaced the starter motor the very same day
✅ Got them back on the road without the need for recovery

Sometimes calling a mobile mechanic first can save you a serious amount of time and stress.

Started off as “the clutch just feels a bit off”… and within a few hours the car was struggling to drive properly 😬

The customer gave us a call after noticing vibrations, rough gear changes, and a nasty rattling noise when idling. Once we inspected it, the problem was clear.

The clutch and flywheel were both on their way out.

We recovered the vehicle back to our unit and got straight to work fitting a brand new clutch & flywheel before things turned into a much bigger problem.

A lot of people don’t realise the flywheel wears out too - and when it does, it can cause:
❌ Vibrations pulling away
❌ Slipping or poor clutch bite
❌ Knocking/rattling noises
❌ Difficulty changing gear

Catching it early can save a lot of stress, breakdowns, and damage further down the line.

If your car doesn’t feel quite right when pulling away or changing gear, don’t ignore it - those little warning signs usually turn into bigger problems eventually 👌
