Reputations being equal it will come down to logistics and price. It's often cheaper for you to travel in your time than pay for someones time and vehicle travelling to you. Simples

[HI]I mean your own time is FREE [/HI]so paying for a mobile guys time if it's a signifcant distance can be more expensive than you travelling to a workshop for the price of diesel only

Having served 15 year as as a local Mobile before being garage based I can see the benefits of both arguments
I have to agree with Eddie on the winter months though,
Not suitable for the majority of Motor home work
I don't agree with Eddies analogy though
I'd opt for the Car Parkoh: its probably cleaner than some Hospitals

The ideal situation would be a company that had both. Mobile fitters carry out a very usefull function and are invaluable in many cases, and having the use of a large workshop and stock base is also valuable although less so in these days of overnight delivery etc.
At work we have both. On both sides of the business, mobile fitters add flexibility and offer customers an unbeatable service, parts are dispatched to the fitters pick up point, and in some cases they dont visit the workshop for weeks at a time. A busy workshop will prefer some mobile staff that free's up workshop space.
When we recently had to return out motorhome to its dealer several times, my time was costed at over one hundred pounds a visit, the cost of any future work would be costed the same and added to any quotes if the vehicle had to visit a workshop. I think flexibility would be the key, choice for individual customers, and the business.
