The AA’s new Mobile Mechanics are now available via the Allstar ServicePoint network, enabling fleets using the platform to have their vehicles repaired or maintained at home or the office.

The AA’s new team of ‘Mobile Mechanics’ are able to carry out manufacture servicing as well as full and interim services at a location of the fleet/driver’s choice

The new service, announced by the AA earlier this autumn, offers full and interim mobile servicing for electric, petrol and diesel vehicles, as well as repairs.

It’s the first time that the AA has offered mobile servicing on a B2B basis, helping to keep vehicles on the road and cut driver downtime.

It’s initially being trialled in the Birmingham to Manchester corridor with availability from 8am-8pm on weekdays and appointments available on Saturdays to meet additional demand.

Greg Tucker, head of OEM and dealer management at Epyx, which operates ServicePoint in conjunction with Allstar, said: “While we have thousands of traditional service and repair outlets available across the UK on our platform, mobiles are becoming more popular and are a great addition to the SMR options that fleets can choose.

“The AA is providing a great choice for fleet car and van drivers with time restraints, who can’t easily get to a garage, or who simply want the convenience of a mobile service. While it is still in a trial phase, we think it is a product with huge potential and will prove popular.

“All ServicePoint users need to do is book a mobile mechanic, either online or via the booking hotline, then wait for the mechanic to arrive at the time and date arranged. It’s that simple.”

Tony Murtagh, B2B director at the AA, added: “Showcasing high quality standards of servicing, maintenance and repair are fundamental to fleets, which is why our new Mobile Mechanics are available to access through Allstar ServicePoint. The platform’s users will find the AA’s Mobile Mechanics the natural partner to keep their fleet on the road, while finding the service convenient, highly professional and, we believe, excellent value.”
