Yes! MechanicNearMe connects you with 24/7 mobile mechanics across New Zealand. Our network includes emergency mechanics in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton, Tauranga, Dunedin, and other major cities. Simply submit a quote request and we'll match you with an available mechanic.

Emergency callout rates typically range from $100-$200/hour, plus a callout fee of $50-$100 for after-hours service. The total cost depends on the repair needed. We provide upfront quotes so there are no surprises.

Our emergency mechanics handle: flat batteries and jump starts, lockouts, flat tyres, brake failures, engine problems, overheating, fuel issues, electrical faults, and general breakdowns. If your car won't start or isn't safe to drive, we can help.

Response times vary by location and availability, but most of our 24/7 mechanics aim for a 30-60 minute response time in urban areas. Rural areas may take longer. We'll give you an estimated arrival time when you book.

Yes! Our 24/7 mechanics are available every day of the year, including weekends, public holidays, Christmas, and New Year. Emergency breakdowns don't follow a schedule, and neither do we.

Stay safe: 1) Move your vehicle off the road if possible, 2) Turn on hazard lights, 3) Set up warning triangles if you have them, 4) Stay in your car if on a motorway, or stand well back from traffic, 5) Keep your phone charged for updates.

Many common issues can be fixed roadside, including battery replacement, tyre changes, minor repairs, and jump starts. For more complex problems, the mechanic may need to tow your vehicle to a workshop. They'll advise you on the spot.

Not quite. Roadside assistance (like AA) typically provides basic help like jump starts, tyre changes, and towing. A 24 hour mobile mechanic can actually diagnose and repair many issues on-site, potentially saving you towing costs and getting you back on the road faster.
