Booking a service for someone else

Booking a car service for someone else, a parent or relative who cannot get to a garage. How it works, who needs to be there, and how to pay remotely.

Short answer

You can book and pay for a service on someone else's behalf. Give us their address and registration, tell us who will be present on the day, and we will deal with whoever is there. It is one of the most common reasons people choose mobile servicing for an older relative, because the car never has to be driven anywhere.

What to do

  1. Book with their registration and address. Use your own phone number if you want the calls to come to you.
  2. Tell us who will be at the property. The technician will explain what they are doing to whoever is there.
  3. Settle up however suits. You can pay remotely rather than the person at the address handling it.

Why a car service for someone else suits older drivers

The hard part of a garage service is rarely the service. It is driving somewhere unfamiliar, waiting, arranging a lift, or being talked into work over a counter. Removing all of that is often the whole point of the booking.

The technician explains what they are doing and what they found in plain terms, and if you would rather they call you with anything found instead, say so at the booking stage and that is what happens.

What we need from you

  • The registration and the address the car is parked at
  • Confirmation there is a driveway or private parking with room to work
  • A phone number for whoever should be called about the price and any findings
