About Big Ed’s
Auto Repair That Comes to You
Big Ed’s Mobile Mechanics provides convenient mobile auto repair and diagnostic services for passenger cars and light trucks. Instead of taking your vehicle to a repair shop and arranging transportation while it’s being serviced, we bring many common repairs directly to your home, workplace, or other suitable location.
From brakes and A/C problems to cooling systems, suspension concerns, wheel bearings, leaks, and diagnostics, our goal is simple: make getting your vehicle repaired easier while giving you straightforward information about what it actually needs.
Mobile service availability depends on the vehicle, repair, location, and working conditions.
Who we are
Meet Big Ed’s Mobile Mechanics
Big Ed’s Mobile Mechanics is built around a straightforward idea: not every automotive repair should require leaving your vehicle at a shop.
18 years of automotive experience
Big Ed’s is led by an ASE Certified Master Technician with L1 certification and specialized training in light-duty diesel, gasoline direct injection, and automotive HVAC systems.
Many common repairs and diagnostic services can be performed right where the vehicle is parked. By bringing the service to you, Big Ed’s helps eliminate unnecessary towing, repair-shop waiting rooms, and the hassle of arranging a ride home.
We focus on practical automotive service, clear communication, and helping customers understand the problem before moving forward with repairs.
We’re not interested in replacing parts simply because they might be related to a symptom. The first step is figuring out what is actually wrong.
Our approach
Diagnose First. Repair What’s Needed.
A squeaking brake doesn’t automatically mean you need every brake component replaced.
An A/C system blowing warm air doesn’t automatically mean it needs a recharge.
A vehicle overheating doesn’t automatically mean it needs a radiator.
Automotive symptoms can have several possible causes. That’s why Big Ed’s believes in inspecting the vehicle, identifying the likely source of the problem, and explaining what we find before recommending additional repairs.
We determine the appropriate starting point.
Some repairs can be estimated in advance, while others require diagnostic or inspection work first.
We inspect or repair the vehicle.
Big Ed’s comes to your location with the tools and equipment needed for the scheduled service.
We explain what we find.
If additional repairs are needed, we discuss them before moving forward.
What we work on
Mobile Repair for Common Vehicle Problems
Big Ed’s provides mobile service for many common automotive repairs and problems, including:
Brake Repair
Brake pads, rotors, brake inspections, noises, vibrations, and other common brake concerns.
Air Conditioning
Diagnosis of A/C systems that are blowing warm, cooling poorly, or showing other symptoms.
Cooling Systems
Radiators, hoses, thermostats, cooling system leaks, overheating concerns, and related components when suitable for mobile repair.
Steering & Suspension
Common steering and suspension concerns involving components that can reasonably and safely be serviced in a mobile environment.
Wheel Bearings & Light Drivetrain Repair
Wheel bearings, CV axles, and selected light drivetrain repairs.
Leak Diagnosis & Repair
Inspection of coolant, oil, and other automotive leaks, with repair availability depending on the source and accessibility of the leak.
Automotive Diagnostics
Troubleshooting warning lights, starting problems, unusual noises, drivability concerns, electrical issues, and other vehicle problems.
Service availability varies by vehicle and repair. Some repairs require specialized equipment or a traditional automotive repair facility.
Why mobile repair?
Skip the Repair Shop Waiting Room
Traditional repair shops serve an important purpose, especially for major repairs. But many everyday automotive problems don’t necessarily require your vehicle to spend hours—or days—at a shop.
Big Ed’s brings the repair process to you whenever mobile service makes sense.
Mobile repair can be especially convenient when:
- Your vehicle is difficult or unsafe to drive.
- You don’t have another vehicle available.
- You would rather avoid arranging a tow.
- You don’t want to spend hours in a repair shop waiting room.
- Your schedule makes dropping off a vehicle difficult.
- The repair can safely be completed in your driveway or workplace parking area.
Straightforward service
We Want You to Understand Your Vehicle
Automotive repair can be frustrating when you don’t know what a mechanic found or why a repair is being recommended.
Big Ed’s believes customers should understand what is happening with their vehicles. You shouldn’t need to be a mechanic to understand what you’re paying for.
When possible, we explain:
- What we found
- What is causing the problem
- Which repair is recommended
- Which repairs can wait
- Whether the vehicle should be driven
- When a repair would be better handled by a traditional shop
Knowing when a job needs a shop
Mobile Repair Has Limits — And That’s Okay
Mobile mechanics can perform a wide range of automotive repairs, but some jobs belong in a properly equipped repair facility.
Big Ed’s may decline repairs that require vehicle lifts, heavy equipment, extensive disassembly, machine work, specialized alignment equipment, major drivetrain removal, or working conditions that cannot be made reasonably safe at the service location.
If we determine that a repair isn’t appropriate for mobile service, we’ll tell you.
The goal is to provide the right service for the vehicle.
Vehicles we service

Big Ed’s primarily works on:
- Passenger cars
- SUVs

Limited service may also be available for certain light-duty diesel vehicles and small engines depending on the repair.
Vehicle age, condition, configuration, aftermarket modifications, accessibility, and repair requirements may affect service availability.
