A call-out service comes in handy when you’re busy, and that is exactly why Trafford Mobile Mechanic is on our list! These blokes will come to your location anywhere in Manchester for an oil change, which is spectacular.

They’re a car servicing mechanic, making them an all-around solution for your auto troubles. Moreover, it doesn’t always have to be a full-on comprehensive job, since they’re available for interim services that include oil and filter change.

It’s also convenient that they arrive fully equipped so they can carry on with diagnosis, inspection, and repairs (if necessary). All of these are done on-site, making them ideal for clients with packed schedules who just don’t have the time to visit a shop.

Our team members appreciated the easy booking, since they’re open six days a week, day and night. Don’t go looking for a physical shop, though, which is fine since they’ll come to you.

We didn’t find them expensive in any way, despite offering a completely mobile oil change in Manchester. Worth every pence for a remarkable service, to tell you the truth.

Always top-quality work

“Always top quality work done to the highest standard. Friendly staff who always keep me informed, highly recommend.”

– Steve, Trafford Mobile Mechanic Review

Incredibly knowledgeable

“Absolutely! My mechanic was incredibly knowledgeable and conducted a thorough assessment of the car. He quickly identified a critical safety issue, which the dealer has now agreed to address for us. I’m extremely satisfied with his work – without his help, this issue might have gone unnoticed. Highly recommend him!”

With over 25 years of experience in car diagnostics and repairs, Marshalls Garage has undoubtedly caught our attention. They’re quite easy to get to, particularly with the parking area in front to avoid waiting out on the road.

They’re all about comprehensive repairs, which makes them an all-in-one solution for car troubles. They offer basic oil change, brake inspection, exhaust replacement, and MOT testing.

In addition, their shop is equipped with advanced computer diagnostics to quickly and accurately identify problems. And they do the job well, regardless of the make and model of your vehicle.

Most importantly, the clients we spoke with appreciated the transparent and accommodating service. They were quite easy to talk to, which was handy for clients who had zero ideas about cars. 

It’s a shame that, on top of being closed on weekends, they get rather busy, resulting in a waiting list. But for competitive prices, we can let it slide.

They did a great job

“Would highly recommend this garage – our daughter is a student in Manchester so we had no knowledge of reputable garages in the area. They did a great job, fixed it quickly and treated our daughter with kindness and respect – 5 stars!”

Approachable, genuine, friendly, and affordable

“We have had two full services including Oil and filter changes undertaken by Marshalls and were very happy with the work and service so far. I also recently got a cam and water pump change for my new car. We currently have our car booked in for the MOT. I find the guys approachable, genuine and friendly and affordable.”

Carfix Manchester commits to dealer-level service, which frankly, we have to agree with. The service we’ve seen has been incredible, as they perform basic oil changes and comprehensive repairs.

As an example, they focus on keeping your vehicle’s warranty in effect. They do this by following your manufacturer’s servicing schedule to maintain your vehicle’s integrity.

In addition, they use advanced technology to accurately diagnose your vehicle’s overall health. Their service has been efficient to boot, especially with their oil change, which can take just a quarter of an hour if they’re not busy.

Interestingly, they have quite an experience working on premium cars, like Audi and Aston Martin. We did notice that their oil change rates aren’t sky high, but should your vehicle come with other problems, comprehensive servicing is going to be a tad pricey.

But it’s no bother. We understand the price, given that their technicians have been accommodating for quick oil changes during busy hours.

More than helpful

“My vehicle needed a top of oil. And I called into Carfix for some assistance. The garage owner Cris was more than helpful. He topped up my oil and as I tried to pay he refused and didn’t want paying. I know oil is expensive so I tried again he refused. just want to say thank you to him. Would recommend his workshop as well it was really tidy and the staff were really polite and helpful. 10/10. Will be back.”

Polite and very helpful

“OMG 😊 I am so glad I found CarFix from the first call they were polite and very helpful. Needed my car serviced especially my oil changing. They took my car details, called me back within 15mins and gave me a quote in which I was happy with and proceeded to book my car in. The young lady and gentleman was so friendly and advised my car would be ready around 2hrs. That I can say was exact no waiting around all day like other well known garages I won’t even mention. I loved the breakdown of cost etc in which I thought was very reasonable. I will definitely be using them again. I’ve already advised my daughter to book in for her car maybe next time I’ll get a discount for doing so 🤣🤣🤣. Thanks again CarFix I was very happy 😊”

Here’s the thing about Empress Autos LTD: they will get to the bottom of things. Once that oil lamp on your dashboard pops up, regardless of the vehicle model, their technicians will work on it in a flash.

In fact, the overall efficiency impressed us immensely, as we’ve seen a quick oil change finished at half past. Even when other services were needed, they remained efficient in handling tasks by the book—no shortcuts in this house!

There’s a big but coming: they’re busy more often than not. But it’s not like it’s a bad thing in this industry, because you can tell they have loyal clients in Manchester, although you should expect a line, especially on Saturdays.

It’s not at all shocking, considering their competitive pricing. They’re accommodating, anyway, and they accept quite a lot of clients.

We reckon the high quality of service will please you, just like most of the clients we spoke with. And all that for a price that won’t break the bank.

Upfront and honest

“Upfront and honest. Had an oil light and was turned away by other garages. These guys diagnosed the problem free of charge, and managed to fit me in the next day despite being busy. Great communication throughout the process and even gave me a slice of pizza. 10/10 would recommend.”

– Finlay Kelly, Google Review

The service is honest, reliable, and fairly priced

“I always go to Empress Autos LTD, They’ve been looking after my cars for years, and I wouldn’t take them anywhere else. They’ve handled everything from simple services and brake fluid changes to more complex repairs. Every time, the service is honest, reliable, and fairly priced. They explain what needs doing and why, without any upselling pressure. You can tell they take pride in their work and value their regular customers. It’s rare to find a garage you can trust completely Empress Autos is that place for me. Highly, highly recommend.”

The dealer-level assistance makes Lodge Service Station Ltd a good pick for premium cars. In particular, Porsche, Volkswagen, and Audi car owners.

Why, you ask? It’s because they use VAG-COM diagnostics, which specifically support Volkswagen Group vehicles. No worries if you don’t own these brands because they still service all makes and models.

In addition, their diagnostic tool can spot issues effectively, which is a good thing for any driver. Car servicing, including oil and filter change, even includes free collection and delivery of your vehicle, as long as you’re within a five-mile radius of the shop.

However, their prices aren’t the most affordable. We totally understand why, though, since they primarily work on premium vehicles.

Plus, they know how to sort out engine oil issues efficiently. Their technicians were even applauded for providing a detailed analysis of car issues, which came in handy for clients who weren’t familiar with these things.

Great garage and customer service

“Great garage and customer service, went there on the day and had car sorted within 40mins thumbs-up from me would recommend”

Best place in Manchester for honesty and pricing

“Best place in Manchester for honesty and pricing – being a specialist in Audi, VW and Porsche certainly helps. Mick and his team can’t do enough for you – all our families cars go here.”

– Scott Cannon, Google Review
