Depending on your specific needs, there will be additional costs associated with hiring a mobile diesel mechanic. A big one is travel. You’ll pay for them from the moment they leave their shed until the moment they return, so finding someone really close to your jobsite or depot is essential for keeping the cost down. You’ll also pay for all the parts and consumables necessary to get your gear moving again. And don’t forget - some parts might need to be ordered, delaying the fixing of your machine by days and weeks. These are average costs and actual rates may vary.
