Mobile Auto Repair in San Diego, Brought Right to Your Door
I'm Gearhead San Diego Mobile Mechanic, and I do things a little differently than your average shop. You don't bring your car to me, I'll come to you. At home, at work, in a parking lot. Wherever you are in San Diego, I'll show up with the tools and parts to get the job done on the spot.
No waiting rooms. No tow trucks. No wasted afternoon sitting at a shop. I willhandle everything from routine oil changes and battery replacements to brake jobs, engine diagnostics, and electrical repairs. If your car is giving you trouble, chances are I can fix it right where it's parked. I work 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays, because car problems don't wait for a convenient moment.

What I Can Fix at Your Location
Oil Changes & Routine Maintenance
Skipping oil changes is one of the most expensive mistakes a car owner can make. I will bring everything I need to do a full oil change including the filter and will take away the old oil. We can use full synthetic, Synthetic Blend, high-mileage, or conventional. While I'm there I'll check your fluid levels, air filter, and belts too. Most visits take under an hour.
Battery Testing & Replacement
Dead battery? Slow crank? I'll test your battery on the spot and replace it if needed, no need to jump-start it and limp to a parts store. I carry batteries for most makes and models and can have you running again in 30 minutes or less.
Engine Diagnostics & Check Engine Light
That check engine light isn't going to go away on its own. I use professional OBD-II diagnostic equipment to pull the codes and tell you exactly what's going on. From there we'll talk through the repair options so you can make an informed decision, no pressure, no upselling, just answers.
Brake Inspection & Repair
Squealing, grinding, or a spongy pedal are all those are things you don't want to ignore. I replace brake pads, resurface or replace rotors, and check brake fluid. Brakes are safety-critical, so I don't cut corners. Most brake jobs are done same-day.
Electrical System Repairs
Alternators, starters, fuses, and wiring issues are electrical problems can leave you stranded fast. I diagnose and repair electrical faults on-site for most vehicles. If I find something that needs a shop lift to complete, I'll tell you upfront.
AC & Heating Repair
San Diego summers are no joke. If your AC is blowing warm or your heat isn't keeping up on those chilly January mornings, I can diagnose the system, recharge refrigerant, and handle most AC and heater repairs right at your location.
Transmission Service
Your transmission takes a beating in stop-and-go traffic. I handle transmission fluid flushes, minor adjustments, and diagnostics. If a repair is beyond mobile scope, I'll give you a straight answer about what you're dealing with before you spend money anywhere.
Pre-Purchase Inspections
Thinking about buying a used car? I'll meet you at the seller's location and give it a thorough inspection before you hand over any money. I've seen things that would make your jaw drop, rust hidden under floor mats, flood damage, engines held together with zip ties. A couple hundred dollars spent on an inspection can save you thousands in the long run.

Why Choose Us?
Why San Diego Drivers Choose Gearhead
Certified and Experienced
I'm not some guy with a socket set and a YouTube channel. I'm a certified mechanic with years of hands-on experience working on everything from daily drivers to high-mileage trucks. I take this seriously because your car is how you get to work, pick up your kids, and get through your day.
Honest, Upfront Pricing
I'll give you a price before I start. No surprise charges when the job's done. If I find something extra while I'm working on your car, I'll stop and tell you before touching it. Simple as that.
Available 7-days a Week
I work Monday through Sunday, 365 days a year. Same-day and next-day appointments are usually available. When your car breaks down on a Saturday afternoon, you don't have to wait until Monday.
Quality Parts
I use OEM-quality or better parts on every repair. Cheap parts mean the problem comes back sooner and that wastes everyone's time. I stand behind the work I do.

Frequently Asked Question
What areas do you serve?
I serve all of San Diego County. That includes Chula Vista, National City, El Cajon, La Mesa, Escondido, Oceanside, Carlsbad, Santee, Poway, Spring Valley, Vista, San Marcos, Imperial Beach, and all surrounding neighborhoods throughout San Diego.
Accordion 2
The easiest way is to call or text me directly at 619-975-0815. Tell me what's going on with your car and where you're located and we'll find a time that works for you. Same-day appointments are available most days.
What types of repairs can you do on-site?
I can handle most common repairs and maintenance at your location — oil changes, brake jobs, battery replacements, alternator and starter repairs, engine diagnostics, electrical issues, AC recharges, and more. If a repair requires a shop lift or specialized equipment that can't come to you, I'll let you know upfront.
How much does a mobile mechanic cost in San Diego?
Pricing depends on the repair. Labor rates for mobile mechanics are often comparable to or less than a traditional shop and you're saving the cost of a tow and the time of waiting around at a shop. I give you a price before I start, so there are no surprises. Call 619-975-0815 for a quick estimate.
Are you available on weekends?
Yes! I work 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. Car problems don't follow a work schedule and neither do I.
Do you use quality parts?
Yes. I supply OEM-quality or better parts on every repair. I don't use cheap aftermarket parts that'll fail in six months. That's bad for your car and bad for my reputation. If you have your own parts I can sometimes use those for the repair but that will affect any warranty on the work.
Can you do a pre-purchase inspection on a used car?
Absolutely! This is one of the most valuable services I offer. I'll meet you at the seller's location and do a thorough inspection of the vehicle before you commit to buying it. I check for hidden damage, mechanical issues, signs of accidents, and anything else that should factor into your decision. Call or text 619-975-0815 to book one.
What payment methods do you accept?
I accept cash, all major credit and debit cards, Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal. Payment is collected at the time of service.
