Russell Automotive is a mobile mechanic in Leeds and West Yorkshire, bringing decades of workshop-trained expertise and proper diagnostic equipment to wherever your car is parked. Every fault is correctly diagnosed — not guessed at — explained clearly, and backed by an itemised estimate before anyone picks up a spanner.
If it can be done safely without a full workshop, we'll sort it there and then from the van. If a job needs more than that, we'll say so honestly and point you towards someone who can help. See recent jobs in our portfolio.
Mobile oil change, filters and fluids kept up to date, wherever your car's parked. Fixed-price oil change and servicing from £200 — see the services.
A pre-MOT check so there are no surprises on test day.
Every warning light and fault code read properly and explained clearly — not guessed at.
Pads, discs and shocks. If it's knocking or squealing, we'll find out why.
Won't start, flat batteries, alternators, and wiring gremlins tracked down properly.
Buying used? We check it over before you hand over any money.
"Michael came out to my workplace, diagnosed, found me a part, and sorted it, whilst I was at work. Top class service, decent price, top bloke. Car has never driven so well! Highly recommend 10/10."
"Really really good mechanic, Michael is a top man!! Will always look for what the problem is and also has very reasonable pricing!! Very very highly recommended!!"
"I was quoted over £4500 by a 'Vauxhall Specialist' for a repair on a car worth around £7000.
Mick managed to fix the car very quickly for £400.
Its running better than it ever did!"
"Mick saved me when Honda wanted to write my car off over a £10k repair quote — without even taking it apart. He found a broken turbo, replaced it and cleaned wet belt material lingering in the engine, and sorted it all for £1500. Knowledgeable, fair, and I wouldn't go anywhere else now!"
