What will it cost?
Service Calls and Repairs are billed at $80 per hour based on 'book time' (official estimates of how long a repair should take). A minimum of $60 is applied to each service call.
*For vehicles over 10 years old or with heavy rust, book time may be increased.
​
Mileage Fees: I only provide services to locations in Clinton County, Iowa. If you are located outside of the city limits of Clinton, Iowa, a fee of $0.65 per mile and a $80 minimum will be applied to your bill.
​
Diagnostics will start at the cost of a service call. They will be billed hourly UNTIL they hit the maximum charge based on difficulty. Once diagnostics are complete, you will receive a quote for parts and labor to repair the problem.
Maximum Diagnostic Charges
Type | Description | Cost |
|---|---|---|
Engine & Electronics | Testing and Inspection to identify faulty parts for electrical issues or engine issues. (Misfire, Diagnostic Trouble Codes, etc.) | $160 |
Intermittent Faults and Issues | Issues that cannot be easily reproduced and therefore require multiple visits. | $320 |
* See the 'Scheduled Work & Warranties' Section on the Terms of Use Page for more details.
Before Booking:
As a mobile mechanic, I come to you. That means there are some location requirements:
​
- Other than Jump-starts, flat tires and very basic service calls, the car will need to be located on private property where you have obtained permission for the work to be performed. I do not do repairs or diagnostics in the street.
​
- I do not provide 24-hour roadside assistance. If you need immediate assistance, you are welcome to call me to check on availability. I also recommend Downtown Auto Clinic for Roadside Assistance.
​
For basic services listed below, please book an appointment.
For urgent needs or other services, please contact me.
