No Tow, No Waiting Room
Most of what strands a car is a battery, a starter, a belt or a hose. All of those get fixed where the car is. You keep the tow money and your afternoon.

Why People Call
The Shop Comes to the Car
Tested Before It Is Replaced
A code names a symptom and not a part. Nothing gets swapped on this site because it might be the problem. It gets tested first.
Told What You Do Not Need
The work D&B does not take is published on this site in his own words. So is the answer that your rotors are fine, when they are.
One Person, Start to Finish
You talk to David on the phone, David turns up, and David does the work. There is no service writer in between.

Honest Scope
And What It Does Not
That list is his, word for word, off his own site. A mobile mechanic who tells you no before you book is worth more than one who turns up, pokes around and then tells you to find a shop.

Wonderful experience! My vehicle would not crank, and I did not want to pay a tow fee. I searched Mobile Mechanic in our area and I read D&B's reviews and I am so glad I went with him. Very personable, upfront, honest, on time, and respectful. Not only helped with the vehicle, helped with our battery charger and gave us tips for future problems.
My son attends SFA, and I live several hours away. When his caliper seal failed and caused a brake line leak, I called D&B. He quickly got us on the schedule and went directly to my son's location. He diagnosed the issue and replaced the caliper, brake pads, and rotors onsite. My son said he was extremely friendly and professional, and we will definitely use him again when needed. I am very grateful to D&B for taking care of my son, especially with me being several hours away.
One of our crews broke down on the job and he came out right away. He quickly diagnosed the problem and had us back up and running in no time. Fast, professional, and reliable service, highly recommend!

Questions
Common Questions
Do you really come to my house?
Yes. That is the whole business. Your driveway, your work parking lot, your apartment complex or the shoulder of the road. The car does not have to move first.
What areas do you cover?
Nacogdoches, Lufkin, San Augustine, Center, Garrison and Central Heights are the named area. Plenty of the rest of the county gets covered too. If your town is not listed, call and ask.
What hours are you open?
Monday through Saturday, 8am to 9pm. Closed Sunday. A lot of these jobs happen in the evening after work.
What will it cost?
You get a price before the work starts, and nothing beyond it happens without you saying yes. No price is published on this site because no two jobs are the same car.
Do you charge to diagnose a problem?
Diagnosis is real work and it gets charged as work. You are told what that costs on the phone before anybody drives out.
Is there anything you will not do?
Yes, and it is published on this site. Glass, body work, tires, tire balancing, alignments, transmission work, engine swaps and PCM programming.
Tell Us What the Car Is Doing
Call and say what the car is doing and where it is sitting. If it is not work D&B takes, you will hear that on the phone rather than after somebody has driven out.
