Services
What I work on
Cars and trucks mostly, plus tractors, mowers and generators. Everything below gets done where the vehicle is sitting, and every job starts the same way: I find out what's actually wrong before anyone spends money on parts.
- No fix, no fee diagnostics
- Quoted price is the final price
- 12 mo / 12,000 mi parts & labor
- I come to you
Diagnostics
Warning light on, odd noise, or something that just feels wrong. I find out what it is before anyone spends money on parts.
Roadside & No-Start
Won't crank, won't start, or quit on you at the side of the road. I come to where it stopped, and often get it running the same visit.
Brakes
Squealing, grinding, soft pedal, or a car that pulls when you stop. Pads, rotors and lines, done in your driveway.
Battery & Charging
Dead every morning, dies again after a jump, or a battery light that won't go out. Usually the battery, sometimes the alternator.
Engine Repair
Knocking, misfiring, losing power, or leaking oil. Most of it I can do on site — and I'll tell you straight if it needs a shop.
Cooling System
Overheating, steam, or coolant on the driveway. Worth catching early — this is the one that turns into a big bill.
Electrical
Lights out, fuses blowing, windows or accessories dead. Tracking down a short is what I do instead of guessing.
Steering & Suspension
Clunking over bumps, pulling to one side, vibration at speed, or steering that feels vague.
Transmission
Slipping, hard shifts, or a clutch that isn't biting where it used to. Diagnosis first, always. No full rebuilds, and fluid service is a drain and fill, not a flush.
Diesel Repair
Diesel pickups and work trucks that are hard to start, running rough, smoking, or down on power. I track it down and fix it where the truck sits. No engine or transmission rebuilds.
Windows & Doors
Windows stuck down, doors that won't lock or latch, handles that come away in your hand. Motors, regulators, locks and latches — not body work.
A/C Repair
In a Texas summer this isn't a luxury. Recharge, leak-finding, compressor and blower work.
Exhaust
Loud, rattling, or blowing where it shouldn't. Mounts, pipes and muffler work.
Farm Equipment
Tractors, UTVs and ATVs. If it runs on your land and won't start, it's worth a call.
Small Engines
Mowers, chainsaws, generators and pressure washers. Especially generators before storm season.
Oil and filter changes: I'll do them while I'm already out for another job. I don't do standalone oil changes.
How the money works
- $150
- Flat, to diagnose it. It's separate from the repair. If I can't find what's wrong, you don't pay it.
- Quote
- Before anything comes apart. The price I give you is the price you pay. If I find something else, I stop and ask you first.
- 12 / 12k
- Months and miles, parts and labor. If the repair doesn't hold, I come back and fix it free.
Stuck outside my hours? The callout is a flat $150 on top of the job, or $300 between 10pm and 7am — call (don't text) and I'll come out when I can.
Travel is free within 30 miles of Bastrop. Further out, there's a flat travel fee. The full warranty terms spell out what's covered.
What I don't do
Better you hear it now than after I've driven out. If your job is on this list, I'll tell you so on the phone and point you somewhere that can help.
Full transmission rebuilds
I'll diagnose it and tell you straight if it needs one. The rebuild itself is a transmission shop job.
Engine rebuilds
Gas or diesel. I'll find out what's wrong and tell you straight if it needs one, but the rebuild itself is a machine shop job.
Transmission flushes
Fluid service is a drain and fill. I can't do a flush, so I won't sell you one.
Engine swaps
Most of them, anyway. If you're not sure whether yours is one I'll take on, ask.
Hybrid and EV high-voltage work
Anything on the high-voltage system needs a specialist with the right equipment.
State inspections
Those have to be done at a licensed inspection station.
Tires
No mounting, balancing or tire repairs. That's a job for a tire shop.
Body work
No dents, panels or paint. Windows, locks and door mechanisms, yes.
Let's find out what's wrong
Flat $150 to diagnose it, and you get a price before anything gets taken apart. Mon–Fri 9am – 6pm.
