The problem I'd foresee with a paid for service as described, is that would in some way be affected by & fall under the terms of the various Sale of Goods & Services acts.
That being so, and with the 'duty' to provide a good or service fit for purpose etc., it would be a very brave 3rd party mechanic/whatever who would stick their metaphorical neck out giving a diagnostic for a vehicle they hadn't seen or had their paws over - especially for a couple of quid or so.
If the mooted service had a disclaimer to the effect 'caveat emptor' (which, I think, in itself would contravene the various selling acts) - who would then want to pay money for 'pot-luck' advice?
