06 — About Ethan

Cleveland born and raised.

I didn't start working on cars as a hobby. I started because I had no other choice. I was young, out on my own for the first time, and my 2000 Ford Taurus needed brakes that I couldn't afford to have a shop replace. So I learned to do the job myself. Driving away on brakes I had installed with my own hands changed something in me. I kept learning, one repair at a time, until I knew this was the work I was meant to do.

I still remember what it feels like to depend on a car and not know how you'll pay to fix it. That is why I built this business the way I did. A tow adds cost before any work begins, and many repairs don't need a shop at all. By coming to you, I can get you back on the road sooner and keep a breakdown from taking over your week. Larger jobs go to the shop, and every job gets the same care, quality and professionalism.

Cleveland is my home, and it always has been. Between the cost of living and the condition of our roads, people here need a mechanic they can trust. My goal is to be the help I couldn't find when I needed it most.

09 — FAQ

Good questions.

How does mobile repair work?

You tell us what's wrong, we confirm a price and time, then we drive to you with the tools and parts to get it done — at home, at work, or wherever the car is parked safely.

How far do you travel?

We cover about 25–30 miles around Cleveland. The travel fee is $25 for trips under 35 minutes of drive time and $50 for trips over 35 minutes — we'll always tell you the total before heading out.

How much will my repair cost?

Every job is different, so labor varies by job. Call or message us with your vehicle and what's going on, and we'll give you a quote before any work starts.

Can I buy my own parts?

We supply the parts ourselves. That keeps the wrong part from being bought or installed, and parts are covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

How do I pay? Do you need a deposit?

We take cash, Zelle and Cash App. No deposits — not even on bigger jobs.

Do you have a shop too?

Yes. Larger jobs like engine, transmission and differential replacements are done at our shop. We'll share the address when you book.

What vehicles do you work on?

Most makes and models of gas cars, trucks and SUVs. We don't work on diesel vehicles.

Is there anything you don't do?

We don't do timing chains, tire replacement, or alignments. If you need one of those, we're happy to point you in the right direction.

Do you take emergency calls?

During business hours we can help with roadside issues — mainly installing your spare after a flat, usually $25–$45. Call us and we'll see how fast we can get there.

Do you service company vehicles?

Absolutely. We offer scheduled oil changes and inspections for fleet and business vehicles, plus on-site repairs when something comes up.

Car trouble? We'll come to you.
