It goes without saying – the world has gone through a dramatic change over the last couple of years. A global pandemic and rolling lockdowns caused significant disruption and stresses, but also some key social and behavioural shifts as well. While some of the “new norm” was just a fad, in other aspects life has changed for the better. And while the automotive industry carried on as an essential service through the pandemic, the world around it is different.
Why? The explosion in e-commerce taking over from traditional retail has now spilled over into the services sector. In other words, consumers are choosing convenience over traditional services. And these services have also extended into the car industry. Today you can get scratches, dents and even bumpers fixed – all from the comfort of your own home and to the high-quality you would expect in a shop.
Now you might be asking what’s the catch? Well it’s pretty simple – there isn’t. Here are four reasons why you should consider trying a mobile car repair service:
1. Flexible convenience – we come to you at work or home at a time that suits you
You might have a scratch on your car that you’ve been wanting to fix for a while, but simply can’t find the time. One of the advantages of mobile repair services is that they come to you. This means you get all the perks of having your vehicle repaired but from the comfort of your own home.
2. You don’t have to be without your car for weeks or months
This is probably the best perk of the lot of them. Nobody wants to spend more time without their car than they have to – especially if they live in an area where public transport can’t be relied on or if they want the flexibility of travel on their terms. This can be why consumers put off getting their car repaired. But, if you choose a mobile repair you can avoid this. Instead, a qualified and experienced repairer will meet you at a place of your choosing and fix your car on the spot. You will simply have to wait for the paint to dry before you can drive away. Beats waiting weeks with your car at the shop!
3. Repair versus replace – reducing large costs by re
pairing the section or only replacing the damaged area
Repairing instead of replacing is not only good for the environment but it is good for your back pocket. Unfortunately when you go to a panel beater, they might expect you to replace an entire section of your car. This will not only add to the time it takes to fix your car, it can also increase the cost of the repair. Instead, you could choose to repair the specific issue over replacing an entire part by using a mobile bumper repair.
4. Mobile car services are more environmentally friendly than traditional repair shops as there are limited overheads like an energy intensive repair shop
If you’re environmentally conscious or simply want the advantages of lower overheads, a mobile repair could be for you. While it’s no secret our tradesmen have to drive around, our operation doesn’t have overheads or energy intensive repair workshops, unlike traditional panel beaters.
Now even if you’re not environmentally conscious, you can still take advantage of this and save some money by using a mobile repair. So it’s a win-win. But don’t take our word for it. If you’d like a fresher look and feel for your car or need to address dents and scratches, a bumper or scratch repair could be for you.
