The team

Two mechanics, two vans.

Dai does the big jobs and the diary; Ffion does the diagnostics and the non-starts. Whoever books your slot can tell you which of them is coming.

Dai Pritchard

Owner and master technician. The big jobs, the diary and the phone

Dai served his apprenticeship at a main dealer in Pontypridd and stayed eighteen years, the last eight as master technician. He started Rhondda Mobile in 2012 with one van and a trolley jack because he was tired of customers paying for a building. He does the clutches, the cambelts and most of the pre-purchase checks.

Ffion Rees

Technician. Diagnostics, hybrids and the second van

Ffion did her apprenticeship at a Cardiff fleet garage, holds the IMI Level 3 in diagnostics and is qualified on hybrid systems. She runs the second van, does the warning lights and the non-starts, and is the reason the diagnostics come with an answer rather than a code.

Behind the vans

Who else keeps it running.

Sian on the phone

Dai's sister, mornings: the diary, the texts, the reminders a month before a service or a cambelt is due.

Two motor factors

In Porth and Pontypridd, delivering to the van within the hour, in the brands the car makers use.

An MOT station

In Porth, where we take cars for their test and bring them back for £35, fixing any fail at our usual prices.

The recycler

In Dinas, for the old oil, filters, batteries and metal. Nothing we take off goes in a bin.

Training

Main-dealer methods, without the main-dealer building.

Dai keeps up his manufacturer training through the IMI and Ffion renewed her hybrid qualification this year. The diagnostic tool is updated every quarter, which is the expensive part of being able to read a 2025 car.

Diagnostics

Book a slot. We bring the garage.

Pick a time, tell us the car and the job, and Dai or Ffion turns up with the van. Fixed labour, the parts at what they cost us plus our margin on the receipt, and twelve months on everything.
