THE WAY THIS WORKS:
You supply the parts, and I perform the work.
I’ve been cleaning up behind bad mechanics - from Craigslist and elsewhere - for quite some time.
My prices are quite reasonable when compared to what a shop would (over) charge you, and considering that I travel to your location.
You don’t need to spend hours at a shop, or leave your vehicle sitting there for days, waiting for them to get around to it. I get around to it as soon as I arrive.
Also consider that if your vehicle is inoperable, or unsafe to drive, towing it to a shop usually costs at least $150 - if not a lot more.
HOURS OF OPERATION:
Please Take Weather into account also,
If i have to come out in bad weather or conditions my rates will be higher
My regular working hours are 10am to 6pm.
For work required outside of these hours, there is a small additional charge:
(1) Morning:
7am-10am: +$50
(2) Evening:
7pm-11pm: +$50
If the work begins before 6pm but extends past 6pm - there is no additional charge.
If I schedule the work after or before my regular working hours - there is also no additional charge:
TRAVEL FEE:
I operate in the Detroit Metropolitan area - and beyond occasionally.
Due to the mobile nature of my service, there is a $30 travel fee for distances within 10 miles of Royal Oak. $5 for each additional 10 miles.
DIAGNOSTIC FEE:
If you already know the problem to be addressed, then the diagnostic fee does not apply.
If you need a problem diagnosed, then there is a $45 diagnostic fee, due prior to the diagnostic to prevent people from taking advantage of my time and good faith.
Obviously, there are quite a few mechanics and shops that just make stuff up to increase what they can charge. I will not do this. I will give my best assessment of your particular issue(s).
$45 is a small price to pay for this convenience, compared to what you’d have to pay a shop that’s not coming to visit you.
Due to the nature of my business the diagnostic/travel charge applies

CONCLUSION:
Hopefully I’ve answered most of your preliminary questions above, to save time if you need to contact me.
I operate in good faith, and I ask that you do the same. My only goal is solving your vehicle problem(s), and doing so the best way possible - the only right way to do things.
This service is particularly important when considering that improper or dishonest work done to your vehicle can put your physical safety at risk - aside from just wasting your money.
I will endeavor to address your vehicle problem as quickly as needed. My only limitation is my time. Obviously, if I’m helping someone else, then I have to finish their work first.
I’m thankful for all business - past, present or future. Much appreciation.
