Mobile Mechanic in Los Angeles
Most LA calls go to John, with Robert helping out. You stay put, and the repair happens where the car is parked.
Repairs Without the Drive to a Shop
You skip the traffic and the waiting room. We fix the car at your home, your office or wherever it's parked.
Engine Repair
Tune-ups, gasket leaks and timing belts, after we diagnose what's wrong.
Brake Service
Pads, rotors, calipers and brake fluid. Stop-and-go traffic wears them fast.
Electrical
No-starts, dead batteries, alternators, starters and wiring.
Diagnostics
OBD-II scan and live data, done in your parking spot.
Mobile Repair for the Freeway City
The 101, 405, 10, 110, 5 and 134 carry millions of trips a day. Most cars here spend more time crawling in traffic than cruising at highway speed. We work on them in driveways, apartment lots, office parking structures and production sets around the metro area.
LA driving is hard on a car. Stop-and-go heats up automatic transmissions and chews through brake pads. Over time, smog and ocean air corrode brake lines and aluminum parts. The hills in Silver Lake, Mount Washington and the Palisades work suspensions and clutches harder than flat streets do. We fix those problems on-site, so you don't lose a day to a shop visit.
Severe Service Schedule for LA Drivers
Most vehicle manuals list two maintenance schedules: normal and severe. Almost every car in LA falls under severe. So you want more frequent oil changes, earlier transmission fluid service and more brake inspections. We'll set your maintenance schedule by how you actually drive.
For most LA commuters, we recommend full synthetic oil at 5,000- to 7,500-mile intervals, transmission fluid at 30,000 to 60,000 miles depending on the model, and brake inspections every 10,000 to 15,000 miles.
Production Vehicles, Talent Cars, and Crew Trucks
Film and TV work puts a lot of miles on trucks. Production trucks haul gear, grip trucks move between locations all week, and talent cars have to be ready when called. We work on set when the location allows it, and we also come to production company yards to keep fleet vehicles running. Diesel repair is available for grip trucks and other heavy-duty crew vehicles.
Talent and personal cars get the same kind of visit we do in Indian Wells. We keep it quiet, leave the area clean, and use parts and fluids that match the vehicle's spec.
Apartment Living and Curbside Repair
Plenty of people in LA don't have a driveway. We work in apartment lots, in street parking when there's room, and in small office lots. We bring absorbent mats and a small canopy for shade, so the spot stays clean and your neighbors don't mind. We follow city rules on curbside work, and if a job needs a private space we'll tell you up front.
We also handle engine repair, computer diagnostics, cooling system service, electrical work, timing belt and chain jobs, suspension repair, and roadside assistance when you are stuck on the 405 or anywhere else. Nearby Hawthorne in the South Bay is in our area too.
Common Los Angeles Questions
How far is Los Angeles from your shop?
The drive from our San Jacinto shop to central LA is about 90 miles, or roughly 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours and 30 minutes depending on traffic. John works the LA side of our service area, so most LA calls don't start with the long drive from Hemet.
Can you work on my car in an apartment parking lot?
Often yes, but it depends on the lot rules and the size of the job. Many LA apartment buildings allow basic service in your assigned space. Some buildings forbid any vehicle work, which is something to check with your manager. Tell us your address and we will tell you what we can handle there.
Do you do street parking repairs?
For some jobs, yes. Brake jobs, oil changes, batteries, and most diagnostic work can be done in legal street parking with proper space. Larger jobs that require lifting the vehicle high or draining significant fluids usually need a driveway or private lot.
Should I follow my owner's manual schedule or get service sooner?
For most LA driving, the severe-service schedule in your owner's manual applies, not the normal schedule. That usually means earlier oil changes, sooner transmission fluid service, and more frequent brake inspections. Heavy stop-and-go traffic and short trips both qualify as severe.
My check engine light came on stuck in 405 traffic. Now what?
If the light is solid, the issue is usually not urgent and you can keep driving. If it is flashing, that means an active misfire, and you should pull over and call us. We can come to your home or office and pull codes to confirm what is going on.
Do you also serve Hawthorne and the South Bay?
Yes. Hawthorne is part of our regular service area, and we cover much of the South Bay including El Segundo, Inglewood, and Lawndale. We also go to the Westside, Hollywood and the Valley.
