Dashboard light on? Engine misfiring? Strange noise you can’t explain? At JRT Mobile Mechanic, we specialise in mobile diagnostics and fault finding, bringing dealer-level diagnostic tools and experience directly to your driveway in Townsville.
We don’t just plug in a scan tool and read codes — we interpret them, investigate root causes, and provide real solutions. Whether it’s an engine fault, transmission issue, or mysterious electrical gremlin, we’ll get to the bottom of it.

We offer mobile diagnostics across Townsville, including Kirwan, Bohle Plains, Heatley, Douglas, Idalia, Mount Stuart, and surrounding areas.
Q: Do you clear fault codes?
Yes — but we only do so after repairs or once we’ve identified the root cause. Clearing codes without fixing the issue is never a long-term solution.
Q: How long does a diagnostic take?
Most diagnostic visits take 30–60 minutes, depending on the fault’s complexity. If deeper testing is required, we’ll discuss it with you.
Q: Can you diagnose intermittent issues?
Yes — we’re experienced with hard-to-find problems and can perform live data testing and component-by-component checks if needed.
Q: Will I get a report?
Absolutely — we provide a summary of the fault, the diagnostic result, and our recommended action so you can decide how to proceed.

— Bradley F., Idalia
“Highly recommend for diagnostics. Saved me from replacing a part I didn’t even need. Honest, mobile, and fast.”
