Cost of living is a nightmare at the moment everything is costing so much more!

We understand that household budgets are under pressure and every penny counts. But while it might be tempting to put off your car service to save money, regular maintenance can actually help you save in the long run.

✅ Prevent costly repairs – catching small problems early can stop them turning into expensive ones.

✅ Improve reliability – regular servicing helps keep your vehicle running as it should, reducing the risk of unexpected breakdowns.

✅ Keep you safe – checking essential components such as brakes, tyres and fluids helps keep you and your passengers safe on the road.

✅ Protect your investment – looking after your vehicle can help maintain its condition and value.

A car service isn't just another expense; it's an investment in your safety, reliability and peace of mind. Spending a little on preventative maintenance today could save you a lot more further down the line.

💬 Don't wait for a small problem to become a big bill. If your car is due a service, get in touch and let's help you keep it running safely, efficiently and cost-effective

Decided to check and see if all info is up to date as it has been a while. Google AI seems to have some out of date info I'm not sure if it's because I've missed something and I just cant find it (most likely 🤣) But the discription is correct.

Hard to believe its been a year since Alfie started his Apprenticeship with us and Declan started doing some work experience. Alfies has been doing really well and we are really pleased with how he's progressing, so well that we have given Declan the opportunity to also do an apprenticeship with us. Both lads are eager to learn and Graham is eager to teach them. Graham has a great way of explaining things which deepen there understanding of how and why and enjoys sharing the tips and tricks you can't learn in a classroom. In an age where young people aren't going into being mechanics the future is bright at Mobi-Tech Automotive

I'm really sorry Graham forgot to put a voice message saying we were away from work We had a lovely Easter holiday to Cape Verde. Graham is back to it today and I'm back in the office from lunchtime. Hopefully I'll get through any messages and voicemails by the end of day. Teresa x

Many Moons ago as a 16 year old, Graham started an apprenticeship with Bridge Garage, Thirsk, this started a long career in the motor industry. Since becoming self employed in 2012, Graham ambition was to have an apprentice and to give a young person the same opportunity. Going from mobile to unit based involved investing in the business. The ambition of an apprentice was still there and thanks to a government grant, the UK Shared Prosperity Fund applied through North Yorkshire Council, this was something we could do sooner rather then later. Our project Apprentice ready was approved for funding, a massive help in getting the business to a place where employing an apprentice was a reality. The money was put towards purchasing equipment to ensure our unit was at a place where an apprentice could work safely and moving the business forward to be more productive. The main expenditure was on a 2nd Ramp installation. A ramp that is capable of lifting larger vehicles and providing a work area for the apprentice.

North Yorkshire Council has been exceptional in there help with us growing our business, we rent our well maintained unit through them at an affordable rate, with someone at the end of the phone if there's any issues. We couldn't thank them enough in there help with our business.

Mobi-Tech Automotive is now in a position to introduce our Apprentice Alfie doing four days with us and day release at collage. Also Declan who helps on a Friday for work experience. Both doing their studies at Middlesbrough Collage.
If the help that Middlesbrough Collage has given us is the standard of training, the lads will do really well.

Mobi-Tech Automotive will hopefully be taking on an apprentice to start day release in September 2025. After considering the providers available we have decided to Use Middlesborough College. The Course would be:
Motor vehicle service and maintenance technician - light vehicle (level 3)
We would be looking at hiring someone at the beginning of June, there is flexibility with this if GCSE haven't finished. You'll do a couple of weeks trial and if we are all happy we'll sign you up for the apprenticeship. You would need to have achieved level 4 or higher in English and Maths before starting your apprenticeship at College.
Hours would be 37.5 including the day at collage Monday - Friday.
If you could send, email, drop off your CV if interested before Tuesday 25th March we are hoping to meet and interview those interested on Saturday 29th March.

Exciting news!!!!! Over the next few weeks the garage is going to be really busy with some equipment getting updated and a 2nd ramp being installed. The 2nd ramp is going to be suitable for bigger vehicles that struggle to fit on our standard ramp.
I've managed to book in the installer and Electricians to complete the work by the middle of February.
We have be sucessful in having some of the costs to be met through a grant. I do have a full page telling me how to acknowledge where this grant has come from so when we've completed the work and recieved the grant I will acknowledge them in the correct way.
Part of our succesful application for this grant is because we want to take on an Apprentice. We are in the really, really early stages of how we are going to go about this, but we want to hopefully be in a position to offer the opportunity at the start of the next academic year. I will give more information on this when we've got further in with the process.

I really need to make an effort to update more often. A late Happy New Year to all our customers, you have kept us extremely busy. I seem to have quite a bit of news to share I'll start with the news that nobody wants to hear.
From February 1st our MOT rates will be going up and will be inlign with the test station we use. We don't add any aditional cost for the class 4 MOTs, for taking them and waiting with the vehicle so we believe it still offers a good value service. So MOT costs will be £54.85 from the 1st February 2025.
We will also be increasing our Labour rates from the 1st of March, this will allow us to honour all current bookings and estimates at the old rate, and to the couple of really organised customers we have booked in for March we will also honour the estimates at the original rate.
Finally on the last bit of not so great news a request, we do offer a seven day period to settle invoices and the vast majority do pay within this period or within an agreed period. But there is a percentage that don't. Please say beforehand, Please stick to our agreements, Please keep us informed. And the person that is 300 days into not settling there bill hang your head in shame.

I'll share our exciting news in the next post x x x
