Mobile Vehicle Assistance
Services — Devon & Somerset
Three professional mobile services covering all of Devon and Somerset — Dean comes to your location 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No call-out fee, no towing, no garage visit required. Emergency vehicle entry, dealer-grade on-site diagnostics and professional mobile jump starts — all resolved on-site wherever you are stranded.
Locked Out? Dean Opens It — Zero Damage, Guaranteed
Whether you've locked your keys inside, snapped a key in the barrel, suffered a keyless fob failure or locked a child or pet inside, Dean provides fast professional non-destructive vehicle entry across Devon and Somerset — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Using air wedge tools, long reach rods and Lishi lock picks, Dean gains access to cars, vans and light commercial vehicles without damaging the door seal, bodywork, lock or window. Zero damage is not an aspiration — it is the standard on every single job. Dean covers all common makes and models including Ford, Volkswagen, BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Vauxhall, Toyota, Nissan and all other mainstream vehicles.
Warning Lights? Dealer-Grade Diagnosis at Your Location
Dashboard warning lights are one of the most common reasons drivers call Dean. The engine management light, ABS warning, airbag light, TPMS alert, transmission warning — each indicates a fault stored in your vehicle's computer, and without reading the exact fault code with the right equipment, it is impossible to know how serious it is or whether the vehicle is safe to drive.
Dean uses professional Autel, Launch and Snap-on diagnostic systems — the same tools used by main dealerships. These read every electronic module across every vehicle system, not just the engine. Every diagnostics callout includes a full PDF fault report emailed to you, plain English explanation of every fault found and an honest assessment of what needs doing. No garage visit, no towing, no waiting room.
Flat Battery? Professional Equipment for Every Vehicle Type
A flat battery is one of the most common reasons drivers are stranded — and one of the most straightforward to resolve with the right equipment. The key word is right. Modern vehicles, particularly those built after 2010, have complex engine management systems that can be damaged by a conventional jump start using basic leads connected to a donor vehicle.
Dean carries three levels of battery support on every callout — a lithium jump pack for standard petrol cars, a commercial battery booster for large diesel vans, and specialist Anker Solix and GYSFLASH units for modern and luxury vehicles that require stable, ripple-free power to protect sensitive ECUs. Battery condition is assessed honestly before and after every jump start. If the battery needs replacing, Dean will tell you rather than simply collecting payment and leaving.
One Operator. Right Equipment. Honest Assessment Every Time.
Every call to Stranded Vehicle Assist goes directly to Dean — the person who will be attending your callout. There is no call centre, no dispatcher and no uncertainty about who is coming. Dean answers, confirms your location, gives you an honest estimated arrival time and comes directly to you.
Dean has been providing mobile vehicle assistance across Devon and Somerset for over five years. He carries dealer-grade diagnostic equipment, three levels of battery support and a full set of non-destructive vehicle entry tools on every single callout — not the tools he happens to have with him that day, but the complete professional kit every time.
There is no call-out fee on any of Dean's services. You pay only for the service carried out. Dean will always confirm a price before starting work and will never add charges after the fact. If a situation requires a repair or part that Dean cannot provide, he will tell you honestly rather than attempting something outside his capability.
All Three Services Across Devon & Somerset
Dean covers five main areas across Devon and Somerset from his base in Honiton — with response times ranging from under 20 minutes in Honiton to 40–50 minutes at the furthest coverage points in South Somerset.
