Why mobile

Most repairs do not actually need a lift and a building. They need the right tools, the right specs and somebody who will take the time to do the job properly. Working out of a truck cuts the overhead that gets passed on to you, and it means your vehicle never sits in a queue for three days waiting for a bay to open up.

It also means you are there. You can watch, you can ask what the part does, and you see the old component come off and why it failed. That is harder to do from a waiting room.

The 4x4 side

A lot of what I do is work that general shops turn away: ring and pinion gear installs, locker fitment, differential rebuilds, lift kits set up so they actually drive right afterwards. Gear setup in particular is a job where shortcuts do not show up for months — and then show up as a howling axle and a bill for the whole thing again.

So the pattern gets checked with marking compound, the backlash gets set with a dial indicator, and the pinion preload gets measured rather than guessed. Every time. The photos on this site are the evidence of that process, not staged shots.

How I price

You get told what the job costs before I start. If a repair can safely wait, I will tell you that instead of selling it to you today. If what you actually need is a shop with an alignment rack or a machine shop, I will tell you that too — sending you somewhere else beats doing half a job.

What I will not do

I will not quote a price without understanding the problem, and I will not talk you into parts your vehicle does not need. If I cannot do the job properly on site, I say so up front.

I come to you

Driveway, workplace parking lot, or wherever the vehicle sits. No tow bill, no dropping it off and waiting days for a call back.

Lift kits, ring and pinion gear installs, lockers and differential rebuilds — done properly, with the gear pattern checked before anything goes back together.

You get the price before I start. No diagnostic fee surprises and no upsell on parts you do not need.
