MobileService Is LIVE! How’s It Going? [MOVING WISELY ep5]

[@fstaudio271]

Recently had Wisely carry out my mobile service & Arthur did an absolutely brilliant job 🙂. Had wanted to use Wisely for ages, but distance from London made it kinda impractical, so the mobile option is a godsend. I strongly doubt anyone knows more about i3’s than these guys, and imo if you own one then they’re really the only people you should be letting work on it. About to book another service for the 2nd i3 in the household 👍🏻

[@wiselyauto]

We’re very grateful for your business!

[@michaeldawson6309]

I'm really excited that you are providing this option. As a BMW i3 owner I find it incredibly difficult to locate a service centre I trust. You guys 100% I trust and I will be using you. Mike from BUXTON Derbyshire. I just hope the new workshop is easy to get to from North of London customers :-)

[@wiselyauto]

We look forward to meeting you when the time comes! :)

[@bbrosse5599]

You are running a great service, and I was completely satisfied calling you in for the mobile service of my i3.

[@wiselyauto]

Thank you, see you again in a couple years? 😊

[@vc2tb]

I’m glad the mobile service is going well 👍👍

[@wiselyauto]

Thanks!

[@frankpeutz9106]

Nice! Maybe some wisely car stickers on the side of the van ?! 😊 👍

[@kellypaws]

Good point. Very good point.

[@wiselyauto]

Watch this space! 😎

[@garethevans4557]

Theres an i3 for sale in Burton upon Trent that has been converted to commercial looks like ex medical run about of some sort, its cheap as you’d expect as its very niche ..

[@chrisnix5775]

You’ve done the right thing! You would spend more time charging than working if you had gone EV van.

[@RoamingNorway]

I hope you can get a heavily deprecated ID.Buzz at some point. Sounds great though! Love that you have this service.

[@wiselyauto]

Would be interesting to crunch the numbers on using an ID Buzz for 50,000 miles pa, with 2/3 of charging being done at public rapid chargers. Probably more viable if/once we get to a point where we have several vehicles and each one only focuses on a certain area :)

[@RoamingNorway]

@@wiselyauto Absolutely. Diesel sounds like the correct choice to ensure profits before you experiment around. Buzz does charge pretty well I would say, better than any other EV van.

[@RodLittle]

@@wiselyauto Great point to have to take into account the cost of needing to use public chargers

[@pmac6584]

Ford need to make a REX/EREV van.

[@kellypaws]

Really nice to see Arthur in front of the camera again. Seems the mobile service is working pretty well, which is good to see. I can completely see the need tor a diesel van to make the service work; I hope the inevitable hate mongers don’t bother to make the contrary point of view. But, you know - human nature… Keen to hear how the deposit situation panned out. You’ve held onto that cliffhanger long enough! (Ford engine designs. They’re a laugh aren’t they?)

[@wiselyauto]

Thanks 🥰 We’re *desperate* to update you guys, but unfortunately it’s still an ongoing (and legally protracted) matter 😔

[@Terry-navvet1974]

I wish you were in the Oregon area.

[@paulinchris]

Has your 180,000 mile I3 had any problems with the A/C compressor? In your experience have compressors given much, if any, problems?

[@zanytwinmagnet2681]

My first thought was wet belt as per Smith and Sniff😂

[@graememanning4903]

Will you 100% continue with mobile service ? I love the I3 but have not bought one yet as I am in the north .

[@wiselyauto]

Wisely MobileService is here to stay!

[@rafflesnh]

@23:39 You show an apparent roadside repair taking place when your graphic @27:28 seems to preclude this option?

[@wiselyauto]

Good question, and good spot! We will, on a case by case basis, consider some "repair" work at the roadside, so long as these do not involve raising the car (either fully or partly) and the overall environment is safe, appropriate etc. Jobs we'd consider roadside include 12v battery replacements, interior trim work, wing mirrors, door locks, bulbs etc. For any "service" work, there's no discussion unfortunately - we will only accept bookings where the vehicle can be on private, off-street property as per the graphics. Hope that clarifies :)

[@rafflesnh]

@@wiselyauto It does and many thanks for taking the trouble to do so! 👍

[@ianlove3]

Could you not have used an MG5 for your mobile service?

[@rtfazeberdee3519]

Cleveely do just fine with their EV mobile units

[@fogartym77]

Good for them. Let's move on shall we?

[@peterbratu]

I’ve been telling everyone that it’s all fun and games owning an EV and moving around town, but as soon as you need to cover significant ground, diesel is still king.

[@Joe-lb8qn]

Only in a van and only because there aren't any good long distance vans yet. Last year i did a 1300 mile road trip through Europe in 4 days, and thats nothing out of the ordinary , And you can find numerous vids of similar so its complete BS to say EVs cant do long distances.

[@kash748]

Really disappointed to see you running a diesel when cleverly manage it on electric in their mg5 fleet....setting a slightly bad example and I wouldnt be happy with a EV tech turning up in one tbh

[@fogartym77]

I'm more interested in the tech turning up and giving me a good service on my EV than what he himself is driving. You know fine well what the guys are like at Wisely and he has given his reasons for using a diesel. I wouldn't even blink asking Wisely to come out to me.

@fogartym77 each to their own mate
