Mechanical Engineer & Mobile Vehicle Specialist·Northampton / Kettering, UK
About
I'm Samuel — a mechanical engineer and mobile vehicle specialist based in Northampton and Kettering. I run on-call and booked-slot diagnostics, repairs, MOT handling, and pre-purchase inspections for cars, vans, and small commercial vehicles across the region.
I also test-drive second-hand and new cars for buyers who want a proper expert quality-assurance pass before signing. Branded van, branded t-shirts, professional tools, transparent quotes — no surprises.
