What We Handle
Real repair work, done right. From the job nobody else will do in a driveway to the everyday fixes that keep you on the road.
Engine & Transmission Repair / Replacement
The big jobs most mobile mechanics won't touch. Full engine and transmission repair and replacement — mobile where the job allows, in our shop when it doesn't.
Brakes
Pads, rotors, calipers — done in your driveway.
Batteries, Starters & Alternators
Car won't turn over? Usually a same-day fix.
Suspension, Shocks & Struts
Clunks, sway, and rough rides sorted.
Belts, Hoses & Water Pumps
Cooling and drive systems, before they leave you stranded.
Check-Engine Diagnostics
$85 diagnostic — a straight answer about what's actually wrong.
A/C Repair & Recharge
Blowing warm? Diagnosis, repair, and recharge — ask about the recharge special.
Electrical Gremlins
The intermittent, drives-you-crazy electrical problems other shops give up on — hunted down and fixed.
No-Start Calls
We come to the car that won't come to us.
Pre-Purchase Inspections
Buying used? Know what you're buying before you pay for it.
Straight Answers, Fair Bills
Service Area
Based in Grayslake. Mobile service across Lake County — free travel within 10 miles, $2 per mile beyond.
The Electrical Gremlin Specialist
Windows with a mind of their own. Dash lights that flicker on Tuesdays. The battery that keeps dying and nobody knows why. Intermittent electrical faults are where most shops throw parts at the problem — Dave traces them to the actual cause and fixes it once. And while he's at it: A/C blowing warm? Ask about the A/C recharge special.
