Local, Honest & Mobile – Car Repair in Torbay You Can Trust
Hi, I’m Alex — the person behind Devon Auto Scan. I’ve been working in car repair and auto electrics for over 15 years, and I started this business to give local drivers in Torbay a faster, friendlier, and more affordable way to get their vehicles diagnosed and repaired.
No waiting rooms, no recovery trucks and no jargon. Just honest, experienced mobile car repair you can count on.
15+ Years of Hands-On Experience
Before launching Devon Auto Scan, I worked in several reputable garages and service centres, gaining experience with everything from everyday cars to high-performance vehicles. Diagnostics and electrical faults quickly became my area of expertise, and over time, I noticed one thing:
People were paying a lot—just to be told what was wrong.
That’s when I realised mobile diagnostics and car repair could save customers both time and money, especially in a busy area like Torbay.
So I decided to hit the road.
A Mobile Mechanic That Comes to You
Devon Auto Scan is all about convenience. Whether you’re at home, work, or even stuck in a supermarket car park, I’ll come to you with the right tools for the job.
I cover the whole Torbay area, including Torquay, Paignton, Brixham and surrounding villages. I bring everything I need—diagnostic equipment, fault readers, code scanners, and replacement components—to get most jobs done on-site.
If it’s something I can’t fix there and then, I’ll give you honest advice and help guide you toward the best solution.
What I Work On
The focus is on car repair in Torbay, with a strong emphasis on electrical issues and diagnostics. Some of the most common services I offer include:
- Clearing fault codes
- Battery and alternator diagnostics
- Immobiliser and ECU resets
- Key programming and central locking issues
- Window, mirror, and seat wiring repairs
- Reverse camera, dashcam, and stereo fitting
- DPF regeneration and mileage correction
- Smart charger and USB port installation
From small niggles to full-on head-scratchers, I’ve probably seen it before—and fixed it.
No Job Too Big or Small
Sometimes it’s a single dash light that won’t go away. Other times it’s a car that won’t start. I treat every job with the same level of attention, no matter the size.
My goal is simple: get you back on the road as quickly, safely, and affordably as possible.
And if I ever feel that something isn’t worth fixing? I’ll tell you straight—no upselling, no fluff.
Why People Call Devon Auto Scan
Most of my customers say the same things when they leave a review:
“Alex was friendly and on time.”
“Explained everything in plain English.”
“Didn’t charge more than he quoted.”
“Came out the same day!”
That’s because I built Devon Auto Scan around the kind of service I’d want myself—professional, honest, and always respectful of your time and money.

What Our Customers Say
My 2007 Mini Cooper was giving me a serious headache by overheating, and after several frustrating visits to other mechanics, I was nearly ready to replace the entire fan unit. That’s when I found Alex. From the moment I explained the issue, his calm and friendly demeanour instantly put me at ease.
Adam J
I have never met found a more helpful guy, he is like a dog with a bone, he would not give up until he found out what was wrong with my Ford ranger that I have been trying to get going for about 4 months, and I have had 2 other diagnostics people up and they could not find what was wrong with it and gave up.
Pat M
Such a helpful guy! Not only did he look at the issue that I went to him with, he looked at the rest of the car too! Showed me how to change my air filter, and gave me some great advice! Just wish he had his own car garage as I’ve learnt that I have been ripped off by a local garage only a few days ago! Thank you so much!
