A mobile mechanic has told a local paper how welcoming his son to the business has given him ”a new lease of life”.

Colin Thatcher Mobile Mechanic is now Colin Thatcher & Son, as Aaron joins the family business after two decades in the motor trade. He told the Hampshire Chronicle: “I always had it in my head that I wanted to go out on my own or team up with my father.

“I got a bit disillusioned with the monotony of the job so I decided it was now or never. I have no regrets, it was definitely the right decision, it’s really nice working with my dad.

“Working in the garage was all black and white whereas now it’s all very face-to-face and each day is different. It’s a win-win really.”

His father established the mobile mechanic business in 1986 but has been in the trade since 1972.

The 66-year-old said: “Now Aaron is on board it’s like a new lease of life. We’re busier than ever, the phone never stops ringing. I can take on things that would have been too challenging for me on my own.

“It’s a better option for people to have two of us on the job or we can go to different places at the same time.“
