TRADE 05 / DRIVEWAY SERVICEMobile Auto Repair, Skip The Tow
A car that will not start does not need a tow truck and a week in a shop queue. It needs someone with a scanner, tools and parts to come to the driveway where it sits.
Mobile automotive work removes the worst parts of car trouble, the tow bill, the shuttle rides, the days without a vehicle. I diagnose with a proper scan tool, explain the failure in plain language, quote the repair, and do the work right where the vehicle sits.
Fleet owners and multi car households get the most out of this. Routine services and small repairs on your lot mean vehicles stay in service instead of taking turns in a shop.

Automotive Questions
Can you diagnose a check engine light at my house?
Yes. I connect a professional scan tool, read the codes and the live data behind them, and tell you what actually failed, not just what the code number says.
Do you service small fleets?
Yes, and it is one of the best uses of mobile service. Scheduled visits to your lot for maintenance and small repairs keep work vans earning instead of waiting.
What if the repair is bigger than mobile work allows?
Then you get a straight answer and a plan. I will get the vehicle safe, explain what a shop needs to do, and you will know exactly what to ask for so nobody upsells you.
Can you look a vehicle over before I buy it?
Yes. A pre purchase inspection at the seller's location covers the obvious mechanical and safety items, fluid condition, brakes, battery and whatever the scan tool reports. It is not a teardown, and I will tell you plainly what I could not see.
What do you need ready for a no start call?
The vehicle somewhere the truck can reach it, the keys, and what it did when you turned it. Whether it cranks, clicks or does nothing narrows a no start diagnosis quickly. If it has been jumped recently, mention that too.
Does cold weather affect scheduling for auto calls?
Cold makes no start calls spike, so those days fill early. Below zero it is usually the battery or a block heater. Booking ahead of a cold snap beats calling during one, and no start calls still jump the line.
