Problems we help with
Ghost Gears helps with all the common issues drivers face, from cars that will not start to strange noises, warning lights and buying a new vehicle. If something feels wrong, sounds wrong or smells wrong, our mobile mechanics come to you and diagnose the problem on‑site.
Below is a full list of the problems we deal with every day.
My car will not start
Flat battery, faulty starter motor, alternator issues or electrical faults. We diagnose the cause and fix most starting problems on the spot.
My car is making a strange noise
Knocking, grinding, squeaking or rattling sounds from the engine, brakes or suspension. We identify the source and carry out repairs at your location.
My car smells funny
Burning smells, fuel smells, oil smells or sweet coolant smells. We check for leaks, overheating, electrical faults and other safety issues.
Warning lights on the dashboard
Engine management lights, ABS, airbag, battery, oil pressure and more. We run full diagnostics and explain the issue clearly.
My car is shaking or vibrating
Vibration when driving, braking or idling. Often caused by suspension faults, brake issues, misfires or tyre problems.
My battery keeps dying
We test the battery and charging system, check the alternator and fit a new battery with a three to five year guarantee if needed.
My car is overheating
