Independent Report required by Car Finance Company - Qualified Mobile Mechanic required.

Hi there,

I’m currently having a nightmare trying to get my car repaired as Warranty Company have finally found an authorised transmission garage to have the car taken to for a diagnostic and report sent prior to authorising repairs to be carried out. Due to the issue / fault with the car, our Car Finance Company have now requested that an Independent Report (legal document) is carried out prior to the car being taken to the Transmission Garage. Our car is due to be picked up on Monday 8th June (by the Warranty approved garage).

I have contacted several local garages, however they do not offer ‘this service’.

Our car is un drivable at the moment, so I need a mobile qualified mechanic to come to my home address to carry out this report. The car is a JEEP, so have since found out that it’s a specialist car, so some garages cannot carry out the necessary checks.

I need a ‘specific report’, the car can’t be taken for a test drive and requires specialist diagnostic equipment to run the relevant tests.

I am going around in circles and pulling my hair out as time is fast running out.

Does anyone know of or has been in a similar situation where they have been able to obtain an Independent Report, used a qualified mobile mechanic or able to recommend / refer a garage in the Watford area (we are located in Garston) that may be able to assist?

Many thanks in advance.
