S & S Mobile Mechanic provides suspension & steering repairs for drivers who want professional vehicle care without the inconvenience of organising a workshop visit. We attend suitable homes, workplaces and fleet locations across Melbourne's northern and inner suburbs, including Bundoora, Alphington, Ivanhoe, Kew, Preston, Reservoir and surrounding areas.
Professional suspension & steering repairs at your location
Suspension and steering components affect stability, tyre contact, braking behaviour and driver control.
Knocking noises may come from bushes, ball joints, links, strut mounts, shocks or steering components.
Uneven tyre wear can also involve wheel alignment, tyre pressure or damaged components, so inspection is needed before repair.
Before attending, we ask for the registration, make, model, location and a clear description of the service or symptoms. This helps us assess the likely scope of work, bring suitable equipment and parts, and explain what to expect before the booking is confirmed.
What this service can involve
The exact work depends on the vehicle, its age, kilometres, service history and the condition found during inspection. Rather than replacing parts by guesswork, the aim is to inspect the relevant system, identify what is actually required and discuss the recommended repair with you.
- Discuss when the symptom occurs
- Inspect accessible steering and suspension components
- Check for play, leaks or damage
- Identify likely worn items
- Quote repair
- Recommend alignment if required
Common signs that need attention
A new noise, warning light, fluid leak, vibration, starting problem or change in how the vehicle drives is worth investigating. Some issues are minor when caught early but can become more expensive if the vehicle continues to be driven without diagnosis.
- Knocking over bumps
- Vehicle pulls or wanders
- Uneven tyre wear
- Steering feels loose
- Excessive bouncing
- Vibration through steering
- Clunk while turning
How the inspection or repair works
- Tell us about the vehicle. Send the registration, make, model, suburb and a description of the problem or service required.
- We review the likely job. We consider access, parts, tools and whether the work is suitable for a mobile appointment.
- We attend and inspect. The vehicle is checked and the findings are explained before additional work is approved.
- Repair and final checks. Approved work is completed where practical, followed by relevant testing and a clear explanation of any further recommendations.
Can this service be completed on site?
Many inspections and selected component replacements can be completed on site.
Mobile work depends on the specific repair and the working environment. The vehicle needs a safe, legal and suitably level area with enough room around it for the required work. We confirm these requirements before attendance so that the booking is practical and safe.
When workshop support is the better option
Wheel alignment, major suspension work or repairs needing a hoist may require workshop facilities.
S & S Mobile Mechanic is connected with Luca Motors Bosch Car Service in Alphington. This creates a practical workshop path for repairs that require lifting equipment, workshop-only tooling, extended dismantling or conditions that are not suitable for driveway or roadside work.

Frequently asked questions
Can suspension and steering repairs be completed at my home or workplace?
Many jobs can be completed on site when the vehicle is safely accessible and the repair does not require workshop-only equipment. Suitability is confirmed before booking.
Do you offer same-day appointments?
Same-day appointments are available when the schedule, location, parts and type of work allow.
What is the mobile call-out fee?
There is no call-out fee on eligible vehicle servicing and major repairs. Standalone diagnosis and other call-outs start from $82.50 including GST. Pricing is confirmed before attendance.
Is the work covered by warranty?
Eligible work may be covered for up to one year or 20,000 km, subject to the repair type, supplied components, normal use and written invoice terms.
Do you perform wheel alignments?
Wheel alignment requires dedicated equipment and is normally completed at a suitable workshop after worn components are repaired.
Can worn suspension cause uneven tyre wear?
Yes. Worn components can affect wheel position and tyre contact, although pressure and alignment can also contribute.
