One of the biggest problems we see with modern vehicles is the owners not changing the engine oil often enough, this causes the engine oil to sludge and it can block vital oil galleries inside your engine or block the oil pick up which can cause your engine to run out of oil pressure and badly damaging it. We recommend servicing your vehicle every 5,000-10,000 kilometres (vehicle/usage) dependent) to avoid this issue, and it is always good to inspect all the other safety components of your vehicle at the same time to find any small issues before they become big problems.
We offer a variety of comprehensive car servicing packages which are highly affordable (starting at $149) and provide you with the comfort of knowing your vehicle is safe on the road. We will provide a pre quoted price on all jobs. You can also avoid the unnecessary hassle of driving and waiting at a repair shop with our mobile service that comes to your home or workplace.
It’s a common frustration. Many people have dealt with vague explanations or unexpected bills, which has given some mechanics a bad name. Unfortunately, some workshops go ahead with repairs without clearly discussing them first, leaving customers feeling blindsided. We believe you deserve better. A good mechanic should always take the time to explain any issues, outline what’s urgent and what can wait, and answer your questions honestly. At Mig Mobile Mechanical, we make it a priority to keep you informed every step of the way. If we discover something during a service, we’ll always call you first to discuss your options – no surprises, no pressure. Our goal is for you to feel confident in your car and in the decisions you’re making about its care.
If your check engine light starts flashing, it usually means there’s a serious problem that needs immediate attention. Unlike a steady light, a flashing engine light often signals an engine misfire or other critical fault that can cause major damage if you keep driving.
The safest move is to pull over as soon as it’s safe and arrange for your vehicle to be checked. Driving with a flashing engine light can lead to costly, sometimes irreversible damage.

An engine misfire happens when one or more cylinders stop working properly. This can be due to:
Worn ignition components: Over time, spark plugs and ignition coils wear out and need replacing.
Fuel mixture issues: If the fuel and air ratio isn’t right, you may notice poor acceleration, backfiring, or trouble starting. This often points to problems with injectors or fuel pumps.
Low compression: Leaks in valves, piston damage, a worn timing belt, or gasket failures can all reduce compression and cause a misfire.
If your engine light is flashing or if you’re unsure what a warning light means, call us straight away. We’ll guide you through what to do next to keep your vehicle safe and avoid expensive repairs

There are a few common reasons your car might not start, and some initial steps you can take before calling for help:
Check the battery:
Are the dashboard lights or interior lights dim or completely off?
Does the engine click but not turn over?
If so, your battery may be flat. Try jump-starting the car if you have jumper cables and know how to use them safely.
Make sure you’re in park or neutral:
Automatic transmissions need to be in park or neutral to start.
Listen for any unusual sounds:
A clicking noise can indicate a dead battery or starter motor issue.
A rapid clicking or no sound at all usually points to battery trouble.
Check fuel and immobiliser:
Confirm you have fuel in the tank.
Look for a flashing security light—some vehicles have immobilisers that prevent starting if there’s an issue with the key.
If you’ve checked these basics and your car still won’t start, it’s time to call a professional mechanic or roadside assistance. Avoid repeated attempts to crank the engine, as this can damage your starter or battery further.
If you’re stuck, give us a call – we can come to you, diagnose the problem on-site, and get you back on the road as soon as possible.
