    D&E Auto Repairs to You — emergency mechanic covering Coventry and Warwickshire 7 days a week

When your car won't start, call us — not a recovery truck

A breakdown rarely happens at a convenient time. If your car won't start, your dashboard is showing warning lights you don't recognise, or something has gone wrong mid-journey, D&E Auto Repairs to You can come to you — at your home, your workplace, or wherever you've pulled over across Coventry and Warwickshire.

We carry a full complement of diagnostic and repair equipment, which means in most cases we can diagnose the fault and fix it on the spot in the same visit. No recovery, no waiting at a garage, no juggling lifts. We come to you and we get you moving again as quickly as possible.

Daryl and Kieran have over 17 years of hands-on experience between them, covering a wide range of emergency repairs from dead batteries and failed clutches to electrical faults, alternator failure, blown exhausts and suspension failures. If it can be fixed roadside, we'll fix it.

Emergency repairs we carry out at your location

The most common emergency callouts we attend in Coventry and across Warwickshire include:

Dead or failing car battery — we carry replacement batteries to suit most makes and models and can replace your battery on the spot. One of our most frequent callouts.

Engine warning lights — we plug in and run a full diagnostic scan , identify the fault code and root cause, then advise you on the spot whether it is safe to drive or requires immediate repair.

Car won't start — non-electrical causes — starter motor failure, fuel delivery issues, immobiliser faults and mechanical causes of a non-starting vehicle all fall within our diagnostic capability.

Clutch failure — if your clutch has gone completely or is slipping badly enough to make driving dangerous, we can attend and carry out a same-day clutch replacement on most compact vehicles.

Brake issues — grinding, pulling, or complete brake failure are emergency situations. We carry brake pads, discs and brake fluid and can carry out brake repairs at your location.

Exhaust failure — a dragging or failed exhaust is dangerous and in some cases will prevent you driving legally. We repair and replace exhaust sections, sensors and full systems roadside.

Electrical and auto electrician faults — from non-starting vehicles with electrical causes to sudden dashboard warning light combinations, we carry diagnostic equipment and replacement electrical components.

Suspension failure — a broken coil spring, failed shock absorber or collapsed ball joint can make a vehicle undriveable. We diagnose and replace suspension components at your location.

FREQUENTLY ASKED EMERGENCY MECHANIC QUESTIONS:

  • What counts as a mobile mechanic emergency callout?

    Any situation where your vehicle is undriveable, unsafe to drive, or preventing you from getting where you need to be counts as an emergency callout. Common examples include a car that won't start, a dashboard showing multiple warning lights, a clutch that has failed, brake problems, a broken-down vehicle at the roadside, or a blown exhaust that makes the vehicle dangerous to drive. Call us and describe the situation — we will tell you whether we can help and how quickly we can reach you.

  • How quickly can D&E Auto Repairs reach me in Coventry?

    Response times vary depending on our current workload and your exact location. We always aim to attend emergency callouts in Coventry and the surrounding area as promptly as possible. To give yourself the best chance of a fast response, call us rather than messaging — have your location postcode, vehicle registration, and a brief description of the problem ready when you call so we can bring the right equipment and parts on the first visit.

  • Do you carry out emergency callouts 7 days a week?

    Yes. We operate 7 days a week including weekends. Our standard hours are 9am to 9pm Monday to Sunday. If you have an emergency outside these hours, call us on 0247 610 4000 — we will do our best to assist or advise you on your options.

  • What if you can't fix my car at the roadside on the first visit?

    In most cases we can diagnose and repair the fault on the first visit. If a specific part needs to be ordered, we will tell you exactly what is needed, give you a quote, and arrange a return visit as quickly as possible. If the vehicle is not safe to leave where it is, we will advise you honestly on whether you need a recovery service and what your options are — we will not leave you without a clear next step.

  • Do you charge a callout fee for emergency visits in Coventry?

    Please call us on 0247 610 4000 to discuss pricing for your specific situation. We are transparent about costs before we attend and we charge for the work that actually needs doing — not for unnecessary extras. Our pricing is competitive with traditional garages and you save the cost of recovery on top.

  • Can you come to me if I've broken down on a main road or dual carriageway?

    If your vehicle is in a dangerous position on a main road, your first call should be to the police or highways agency to make sure the vehicle is made safe. Once you have moved to a safe location or the vehicle has been moved off the carriageway, call us and we can attend to diagnose and repair the problem. Safety comes first — we will always advise you honestly if a recovery vehicle is the right first step.
