I bring the shop to the customer: driveways, office car parks and the side of the road. Most of my work is maintenance and common repairs, brakes, batteries, alternators, starters, belts, and diagnosing a check-engine light, because those are jobs I can do properly without a lift. Every job starts with the customer's description and a scan of the fault codes, but the code only points to a system; the actual diagnosis is testing the parts before replacing anything. I carry tools, a jack and stands, a scan tool and common fluids, and I order parts before I arrive whenever I can, because a trip to the parts store mid-job wastes an hour. Weather and space matter: rain, heat, or a sloping driveway can change what's safely possible on site, and I turn down jobs that really need a shop. I dispose of old oil, fluids and parts properly. My pricing is labour by the job, parts at cost plus a margin, and a trip fee, all quoted before I start. Most of my customers are busy people who value not losing half a day at a garage.
