Misconceptions
- • Lube Mobile is NOT a franchise; it is a national company that employs mobile mechanics throughout Australia.
- • You are not required to work in the rain, or on the side of the road. Each mechanic makes the call to determine if the worksite is safe. If the worksite is unsafe we walk away.
- • All major repairs are brought back to our fully equipped workshops. No unsafe or inappropriately large jobs are done on site.
- • You're not left to fend for yourself with any problems. Help is just a phone call away. Someone comes to help or it's solved with a call. Either way it's solved.
