Mobile Mechanic Course

Lesson 1 • Insurance and Regulatory Compliance

Identifies essential insurance types and regulatory requirements for mobile mechanics. Ensures students operate within occupational and environmental standards.

Lesson 2 • Business Structure and Registration

Covers sole proprietorship, LLC, and partnership models for mobile repair operations. Connects legal structure to liability protection and tax obligations.

Lesson 3 • Service Area and Scheduling Planning

Defines geographic service zones and efficient daily scheduling practices. Reduces drive time and maximises billable hours per shift.

Lesson 4 • Pricing and Service Rate Strategy

Teaches cost-based and market-based pricing methods for mobile repair services. Students build a rate card that covers overhead and generates profit.

Lesson 1 • Essential Hand Tools and Power Tools

Identifies the minimum viable tool set for common automotive repairs in the field. Students practice proper tool selection, use, and maintenance.

Lesson 2 • Workshop Layout and Storage Systems

Designs efficient interior layouts using shelving, drawers, and mounting systems. Reduces retrieval time and prevents tool damage during transit.

Lesson 3 • Power Supply and Fluid Management

Covers portable power sources, fluid containment, and safe fluid handling in the field. Ensures regulatory compliance and operational readiness at any location.

Lesson 4 • Diagnostic Equipment Overview

Introduces OBD-II scanners, multimeters, and pressure testers used in mobile diagnostics. Prepares students for deeper diagnostic work in later chapters.

Lesson 1 • Braking System Components

Covers disc, drum, and ABS braking systems and their hydraulic principles. Directly prepares students for brake inspection and repair tasks.

Lesson 2 • Engine Operation Principles

Explains the four-stroke combustion cycle and major engine components. Provides the mechanical foundation needed for all engine-related repair chapters.

Lesson 3 • Drivetrain and Transmission Basics

Describes power flow from engine to wheels across manual, automatic, and CVT transmissions. Establishes vocabulary for drivetrain diagnostics covered later.

Lesson 4 • Fuel, Exhaust, and Emissions Systems

Explains fuel delivery, combustion by-product management, and emissions control components. Connects system knowledge to diagnostic and repair tasks ahead.

Lesson 1 • Pre-Inspection Safety Procedures

Establishes safe working conditions before any inspection begins at a customer location. Prevents injury and protects the vehicle from accidental damage.

Lesson 2 • Writing Accurate Inspection Reports

Formats professional inspection reports that communicate findings clearly to customers. Supports upsell opportunities and protects the mechanic from liability.

Lesson 3 • Systematic Visual Inspection Techniques

Teaches a structured walk-around and under-hood inspection sequence. Ensures no system is overlooked and findings are documented consistently.

Lesson 4 • Fluid Analysis and Leak Detection

Identifies fluid types, contamination signs, and leak sources across all vehicle systems. Accurate fluid assessment prevents misdiagnosis and unnecessary repairs.

Lesson 1 • Belt and Hose Replacement

Replaces serpentine belts, timing belts where applicable, and coolant hoses. Prevents roadside breakdowns and is a high-value preventive service.

Lesson 2 • Cooling System Service

Covers coolant flush, thermostat replacement, and hose inspection in the field. Prevents overheating failures that lead to costly engine damage.

Lesson 3 • Spark Plug and Ignition Service

Replaces spark plugs and inspects ignition coils and wires for wear or failure. Restores engine performance and fuel efficiency with minimal equipment.

Lesson 4 • Oil and Filter Service

Performs a complete oil and filter change including fluid selection and disposal. The most common mobile service and the foundation of customer retention.

Lesson 1 • Brake Line and Hose Inspection

Identifies corrosion, cracking, and leaks in brake lines and flexible hoses. Teaches field repair limits and when to refer work for safety reasons.

Lesson 2 • Drum Brake Inspection and Adjustment

Inspects, adjusts, and replaces drum brake shoes and hardware in the field. Addresses rear drum systems common on economy and older vehicles.

Lesson 3 • ABS and Parking Brake Service

Diagnoses ABS warning lights and services parking brake cables and mechanisms. Expands brake competency to electronic and secondary brake systems.

Lesson 4 • Brake Fluid Flush and Bleeding

Performs brake fluid flush and bleeding using manual and pressure methods. Restores hydraulic integrity and is required after any brake component replacement.

Lesson 1 • Starting System Diagnosis

Diagnoses no-crank and slow-crank conditions using voltage drop and resistance tests. Distinguishes starter, relay, and wiring faults before replacing parts.

Lesson 2 • Battery and Charging System Service

Tests, replaces, and registers batteries and evaluates alternator output in the field. Addresses the most common mobile service call: a vehicle that will not start.

Lesson 3 • Fuse, Relay, and Circuit Testing

Locates and tests fuses, relays, and circuit continuity using a multimeter and test light. Resolves inoperative accessories and lighting without guesswork.

Lesson 4 • Lighting and Accessory Repair

Replaces headlights, taillights, and common accessories such as power windows and mirrors. High-frequency mobile requests that require minimal equipment.

Lesson 1 • Complex Multi-System Case Studies

Applies diagnostic logic to realistic multi-system failure scenarios drawn from field experience. Builds the decision-making confidence needed for independent mobile operation.

Lesson 2 • HVAC System Diagnosis and Minor Repair

Diagnoses heating and air conditioning faults using pressure readings and component tests. Covers repairs within mobile scope and identifies work requiring certified equipment.

Lesson 3 • Drivability and Performance Diagnosis

Diagnoses misfires, rough idle, hesitation, and poor fuel economy using scan data and tests. Integrates knowledge from engine, fuel, and electrical chapters into unified diagnosis.

Lesson 4 • Suspension and Steering Repair

Inspects and replaces worn suspension and steering components in the field. Restores ride quality and handling safety without alignment equipment.
