Nope! As long as your vehicle is parked in an accessible driveway or lot and the keys are left securely for us, we can perform diagnostics, brakes, and routine maintenance while you are entirely off the clock.
We are Pacific Northwest mechanics—we're used to the weather! For standard brake or under-hood maintenance, minor rain won't stop us. If a major storm hits that makes an outdoor repair unsafe, we will coordinate an instant reschedule at no cost to you.
Yes. Gates Automotive Solutions LLC is fully licensed and carries comprehensive garage liability insurance to ensure your vehicle is completely protected while in our hands.
To ensure the highest quality repair and fully protect your vehicle, we source all premium, vehicle-specific components directly through our verified local commercial partners. Because we cannot verify the structural integrity or exact fitment of outside parts, we do not install customer-supplied parts. This policy allows us to completely stand behind our work and provide you with a full warranty.
We just need a relatively flat, safe surface with enough room to park our service vehicle next to or in front of yours. A home driveway, a concrete/asphalt pad, or a designated private parking lot space works perfectly.
Payment is fast, secure, and entirely contactless. Once the repair is complete and you inspect the work, we will send an electronic invoice straight to your smartphone via Housecall Pro. You can pay on the spot using any major credit card, debit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. We do not require upfront deposits for standard local service calls.
We service a wide variety of vehicles, including standard gasoline passenger cars, SUVs, light-duty trucks, and light diesel vehicles. We also specialize in customized preventive maintenance and filter intervals for local commercial trade fleets (landscapers, plumbers, HVAC crews) looking to keep their work trucks out of daytime repair shops.
How much does a mobile service call cost?
Most maintenance and repair services are quoted individually based on the vehicle and repair needed. We provide upfront estimates before work begins so you'll know exactly what to expect before scheduling.
Most maintenance, brake, diagnostic, and minor repair services can be completed at your location. Some major repairs that require vehicle lifts, alignment racks, tire machines, or other specialized shop equipment may need to be referred to a traditional repair facility. If a repair falls outside our mobile capabilities, we'll always be upfront and help point you in the right direction.
Service call fees vary by location and the type of service requested. We'll provide transparent pricing before your appointment is confirmed.
