What we fix
Shop-level work,
driveway convenience
If it doesn't need a lift or a frame rack, it can usually be done on site. Not sure which category you're in? Describe the symptom and we'll tell you straight.
Brakes
Pads, rotors, calipers, hoses, and fluid flushes. Grinding, pulsing, or a pedal that goes soft — all fixed at your curb.
Starting & charging
Batteries, starters, alternators, and parasitic draws. Includes testing so you replace the part that's actually dead.
Engine repair
Water pumps, fuel pumps, timing components, valve cover and gasket leaks, lifters. Bigger jobs welcome.
Cooling system
Overheating, radiators, thermostats, hoses, and leak diagnosis before a warped head costs you an engine.
Suspension & steering
Struts, shocks, control arms, sway bar links, wheel bearings. Clunks, wander, and uneven tire wear.
Clutch & drivetrain
Clutch replacement, axles, CV joints, and driveline noise. Manual transmission work done right the first time.
Maintenance
Oil and filters, spark plugs, belts, fluids, and mileage services — done while you keep working.
Pre-purchase inspection
Buying used? We meet you at the seller and give you a documented look before the money moves.
A/C & heating
Blowing warm, cycling on and off, or dead at the vents. Compressors, control modules, blower motors, and leak checks.
Electrical & accessories
Power windows, switches, lighting, sensors, and wiring faults. The stuff most shops charge a day of labor just to chase.
Fleet & work vans
Sprinters, box trucks, and small business fleets serviced on your lot, on your schedule, so the trucks keep earning.

He was ontime, professional, courteous, and clean. He explained the work before proceeding. I would use East Bay Mobile Mechanic again.
He was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what I needed and didn't sell me on services i didn't need like other mechanics.
He had to order parts and kept me informed on their whereabouts every step of the way. Would recommend his work to anyone.
