Dead battery
Jump, test, swap. Most batteries replaced in your driveway in 30 min.
The common stuff first. Honest about the rest.
About 80% of mobile work is a small handful of jobs. Here they are. If yours isn’t on this list, call and Mark will tell you straight whether he can do it onsite or whether it belongs in a shop.
Alternator + starter
Won't crank, won't hold a charge, dash flickering -- diagnosed onsite, fixed if parts are nearby.
Brakes
Pads, rotors, calipers. If it grinds, squeals, or pulls, Mark can do it where the truck sits.
Oil + filter
Standard, synthetic blend, full synthetic. Filter included. Old oil hauled out properly.
Tire + wheel
Flat repair, plug, swap to your spare, studded swap-overs. No tow needed.
Check engine light
OBD-II scan, root cause read, honest call on fix-now vs drive-it-home.
Belts + hoses
Serpentine, coolant hose, fuel line. If it's leaking or squealing, he carries the common sizes.
Fluids + top-offs
Coolant, brake, power steering, washer. Quick top-off or full flush by appointment.
One mechanic.
One number.
One person on the other end.
You call the number on this site, Mark answers or calls back inside the hour. No service writer translating between you and the wrench. No upsell sheet. No three-bay shop pulling six jobs at once.
01
The quote is the price.
What he tells you before turning a wrench is what shows up on the invoice. If something extra surfaces, he calls before doing it.
02
Driveway is fine.
Bring out an extension cord if you have one for the impact gun. He carries his own power, lights, and a small canopy for rain.
03
Won't sell you a job.
If your brakes have 40% pad left, he'll tell you. If a noise isn't urgent, he'll tell you. The repeat-customer is worth more than the one big bill.
04
Honest about scope.
Frame work, transmission internals, AC system recharge, modern Euro electronics -- those go to a shop. Mark will point you to one he trusts.
Where Mark drives.
Based at 151 A St Loop in South Anchorage. The list below is the routine range. Out past Eagle River the trip fee bumps up; call first.

- STEP 01
You call or text.
Year, make, model, what's wrong, where the vehicle is. Two minutes.
- STEP 02
Mark gives a window.
Honest arrival window and a quote range based on what you described. No bait.
- STEP 03
He shows up.
Truck with the parts he expects to need. Diagnoses on site. Confirms the price.
- STEP 04
Wrench turns.
Most common jobs wrap inside 90 minutes. You pay when it's done.
Straight answers.
How fast can you get to me?
Inside the Anchorage bowl, the typical arrival is 30 to 45 minutes. Eagle River and Chugiak add 15 to 20. If Mark is mid-job he'll tell you upfront and you can wait, hold a slot, or call somebody else -- no games.
How much does a service call cost?
There is a flat trip charge that covers the drive plus diagnostics. Parts and labor on top of that, quoted before the wrench turns. You will hear the number before Mark starts working.
What if you can't fix it on site?
Some jobs need a shop. If Mark can't finish it where you are -- transmission internals, frame work, major engine teardown -- he'll tell you, charge only the diagnostic, and point you at a shop he'd send his own mother to.
Do you do work at apartments and parking lots?
Yes, as long as the property allows it. Most do. Fred Meyer, Carrs, the Walmarts, JBER housing -- all routine. Bring your apartment manager into the loop if you live in a complex with rules.
Cards or cash?
Both. Tap, swipe, or chip on a mobile reader. Cash too. Invoice emailed after the job.
Will the work be warrantied?
Parts carry the manufacturer's warranty (most are 12 or 24 months). Labor on what Mark installs is covered for 90 days against workmanship. He'll come back and make it right.
Do you do European cars / diesels / EVs?
Most domestic and Asian gas vehicles, no problem. Euro and modern diesel -- call first, some need dealer-only software. EVs: he'll handle 12V battery and tires; the high-voltage system goes to a dealer.
Can I just text instead of calling?
Yes. Text (907) 205-1265 with your year/make/model and what's going on. Mark answers between jobs. Faster than email.
Tell Mark what’s going on.
Five fields. He gets the message, calls you back. No automated scheduler, no chatbot, no upsell email funnel.
