Mobile Automotives and LPG in short

Mobile Automotives and LPG is a Shropshire-wide mobile outfit run by engineer Edward, built entirely around LPG cars: servicing with a published checklist, repairs, BRC conversions and emissions checks with printouts, all done where the car sits. Fixed prices for three common jobs are printed on the site, which is rare in this round, and UKLPG approved installer status with BRC training is stated there too. That mix of niche depth and open pricing is what puts it top of our table.

Customer reviews are spotless across a solid base, with five stars on Google the headline. Our verdict is that Mobile Automotives and LPG suits you if you run a car on gas and want a long-standing specialist to come to the car. What counts against it is the missing paperwork: no insurance wording, VAT position, call-out fee or opening hours are published.

Questions about Mobile Automotives and LPG

Is Mobile Automotives and LPG any good?

On the evidence, yes for LPG owners: it tops our Telford mobile mechanics table, holds five stars on Google, and prints fixed prices for three jobs where rivals publish none. The gaps are paperwork, not workmanship: no insurance wording or opening hours are published. Send your registration and the fault for a fixed quote.

Is Mobile Automotives and LPG UKLPG registered?

UKLPG approved installer status with BRC training is listed on the business's own website, though no membership number is printed alongside the claim. That is the only credential on record for the outfit. Ask for the approval detail in writing with your quote, before the van rolls.

Three jobs carry fixed prices on the site: a mobile diagnostic visit at £25, an emissions check at £25 and a one-hour LPG diagnostic at £40. No VAT position or call-out fee is published. Ask for the full fixed figure, including parts and VAT, before you agree anything.

Where does Mobile Automotives and LPG work?

The outfit works Shropshire-wide from its Telford base, carrying out servicing, repairs, conversions and emissions checks where the car sits rather than in a workshop. Send your postcode with the booking enquiry to confirm you are inside the patch. Ask for an arrival window with the quote.
