Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the job and your vehicle, but you always get an upfront, itemized price before any work starts. A diagnostic typically runs about $75–$130 and is often applied toward the repair.

Usually, yes. There’s no shop building or waiting room to pay for, so overhead is lower. Once you factor in the tow you avoid and the time you save, mobile service is often the cheaper option.

The good ones are. We give upfront pricing, take credit cards, and will show you the worn parts we replace. We never charge for work you didn’t approve.

Yes. Batteries, alternators, starters, brakes, and most starting and electrical work are done right in your driveway or parking lot.

Yes. We bring professional scan tools, read the codes, confirm the real cause, and quote the fix before we start.

Call us first. Most no-starts are a battery, alternator, or starter, which we fix on the spot — so you usually avoid a tow entirely.

Yes, we handle diesels, fleet vehicles, and most makes and models. Just tell us the vehicle when you call.

Most calls are same-day, often within a couple of hours, anywhere across Columbia and the Midlands.

Yes — cards and cash are both accepted, paid on the spot when the work is done.

Yes. When we book a time we give you a real arrival window and text you updates, including a message when we’re on the way. Going quiet or not showing up is the number-one complaint people have about mobile mechanics, so it’s the thing we’re most careful about.

We diagnose it properly before we quote — we don’t guess and start swapping parts hoping something works. We tell you what we find, give you a price before we touch anything, and stand behind our work. You won’t pay for parts you didn’t need.

Absolutely. If what looks like an alternator problem turns out to be just a battery, we’ll tell you and charge you for the smaller fix. We’d rather earn a customer who comes back than sell you something you don’t need.

Yes, whenever the repair calls for it. We verify the fix and make sure the car is safe before we hand your keys back — especially important before a long drive or road trip.

Often the same day. Text or call and we’ll give you an honest arrival window. For no-starts, dead batteries, and lockouts we prioritize getting you back on the road as quickly as we can.
