I've seen a few mechanics who work outside and it amazes me that you can work in all kinds of weather especially winter.
How do you deal with stripped/rounded bolts or parts that break and then need replacement? Seems much less convenient when you're not working in a shop.

The fix is exactly the same if you’re mobile or in a workshop… just need tap and die set some buttons extremely good quality drill bits and a set of fluted reverse cut sockets for rusty stuff
There really isn’t anything a good mechanic can’t do on the side of the road if you’ve got the tools in the van 😄

My goodness!! How were your brakes working at all!?😁

[@maxautouk]

Thanks for the comment! Yes they’d been slowly weeping for a while it seems but then suddenly started leaking badly which was when they realised they had a fluid leak!

Ugh..I think I'll just buy another picasso 😉😁

[@maxautouk]

Yep it’s a big old job!

Problem in uk there is no where to work on your car unless you have a garage .

Have a look through my channel you’ll see I do the work wherever the car happens to be… on busy streets, private driveways, garages, car parks you name it 😄
