What Can a Mobile Mechanic Fix?

Common mobile-friendly categories

• No-start and electrical diagnosis
• Battery, starter and alternator work when accessible
• Brake inspection and many brake repairs
• Check-engine and drivability diagnosis
• Pre-purchase vehicle inspections

Jobs that may require a shop

Alignment, tire mounting, major engine or transmission teardown, some suspension work, welding/fabrication and repairs requiring a lift or press are examples that may be better suited to a shop.

Vehicle-specific access matters

The same component can be easy to reach on one model and deeply buried on another. The year, make, model and engine help determine whether a job is realistic on-site.
