Services I offer

Everything I can bring to you.

Most of this happens where your vehicle already is. I turn up with the tools and the common parts, tell you what I find, and quote it before anything gets replaced.

Brakes

Grinding, squealing, a soft pedal, or a shudder when you slow down. Brakes are the one thing worth looking at the day you notice something. I carry the common pads and rotors and can do the job in your driveway or your parking spot at work.

  • Pads and rotors
  • Calipers and hardware
  • Brake inspection
  • Fluid top up

Suspension

Newfoundland roads are hard on front ends. If yours is clunking over bumps, wandering on the highway, or eating tires on one edge, the suspension is usually where it starts.

  • Shocks and struts
  • Control arms
  • Ball joints
  • Tie rods and end links

Oil changes

The easiest job to put off and the one that costs the most to skip. I come to you, do the oil and filter, check your fluids and tire pressures while I am there, and take the old oil away with me.

  • Oil and filter
  • Fluid level check
  • Tire pressure check
  • Old oil taken away

Diagnostics

A light on the dash is not a diagnosis. I scan it, read what the vehicle is actually reporting, and tell you what it means in plain language, including whether it is safe to keep driving.

  • Check engine lights
  • Fault code scans
  • Electrical troubleshooting
  • Plain-language answers

Battery replacements

Cold mornings find every weak battery in the province. I test the battery and the charging system first, because a new battery will not help if the alternator is the real problem.

  • Battery testing
  • Battery replacement
  • Charging system check
  • Terminal cleanup

Vehicle lockouts

Keys on the seat, doors locked, and nowhere to be but somewhere else. Call and I will come open it up without damaging your vehicle.

  • Non-damaging entry
  • Cars, trucks and vans
  • Driveway or roadside
  • Call or text

General maintenance and repairs

Belts, hoses, filters, bulbs, sensors, seasonal checks, and the list of small things that never quite make it to a garage appointment. Most of it can be done where the vehicle is parked.

  • Belts and hoses
  • Filters and fluids
  • Bulbs and sensors
  • Seasonal checks

And more

This list is what I get asked for most, not the limit of what I do. Send me a message describing the problem and I will tell you honestly whether it is something I can handle on site.

  • Tell me the symptom
  • Honest yes or no
  • No charge to ask
What I bring

A shop that drives to you.

Tools on board

A fully equipped mobile setup, so most jobs are done on the spot rather than booked for another day.

Common parts in the truck

Pads, rotors, filters, oil, batteries and bulbs. Anything else gets sourced before I come out so it is one visit.

The mess leaves with me

Old oil, old parts, and packaging go in the truck. Your driveway looks the way it did before I arrived.

Common questions

Before you call.

What areas do you cover?
Gander and about 50km around it. That covers Appleton, Glenwood, Benton, Gambo, Hare Bay and the communities in between. Further out than that? Ask anyway. If I can get to you, I will tell you straight, and if I cannot I will point you at someone who can.
What do you bring with you?
A fully equipped mobile setup, plus the parts that get asked for most. Anything I do not have on board I source before I come out, so the job gets done in one visit where possible.
What does it cost?
It depends entirely on the vehicle and the job, so I quote it rather than guess at it. Tell me what is going on and I will give you a straight number before any work starts. Asking costs nothing.
What if it cannot be fixed on site?
Some jobs genuinely need a lift and a shop, and I will tell you that instead of taking your money to find out slowly. You get an honest read on what it needs and where to take it.
Do you work on all makes?
Cars, trucks, and vans, domestic and import. If your vehicle needs something specialised I will say so up front.
How fast can you get to me?
Text me any time. If I am under a vehicle I will get back to you as soon as my hands are free. For anything urgent like a lockout or a no-start, call rather than text and I will tell you honestly how soon I can be there.

Not sure which one you need?

Describe the noise, the light, or the feel of it. Working out what is actually wrong is my job, not yours.
