Common questions
Before you call
Do I need to tow my vehicle first?
Almost never. We come to your home, workplace, or a safe parking spot and work on the vehicle where it sits. If a repair genuinely can't be done safely on-site, we'll tell you before you spend anything.
How do I get started?
Call or text (854) 216-2777 with your vehicle year, make, model, your location, and a quick description of the problem. That's all we need to get started.
What's the warranty on repairs?
Most vehicles and most repairs include a lifetime parts and labor warranty. Coverage depends on the vehicle, the part, and the type of repair — ask when you call and you'll get a straight answer before work starts.
What areas do you serve?
Summerville, Cane Bay, Charleston, North Charleston, Goose Creek, Ladson, Moncks Corner, Hanahan, Mount Pleasant, and the surrounding Lowcountry. Beach and island areas like Folly Beach and Isle of Palms may need advance scheduling. Call to confirm your location.
Do you do pre-purchase used car inspections?
Yes. We'll meet at the seller's location — a home, dealership, or other safe meeting place — and give you honest feedback before you buy.
Do you do tire alignments?
No. We stick to diagnostics, brakes, no-start and electrical issues, AC, maintenance, and repairs that can be completed safely without a lift or alignment rack.
How fast can you get here?
Same-day service is often available. Text your vehicle year, make, model, location, and what it's doing, and you'll get a realistic window back — not a vague promise.
