Mobile leak diagnosis
Find the Leak. Plan the Right Repair.
Seeing a puddle, smelling fluid, or topping off more often? Big Ed’s checks where the leak is coming from and explains whether the repair can be done at your location or needs a shop.
Passenger cars and light trucks. We confirm service availability and diagnostic terms before scheduling.
What you may notice
Tell Us What You’re Seeing
Fluid color and puddle location can help us prepare, but they do not confirm the source. A leak may travel along parts before it drips.
Coolant loss
A sweet smell, colored fluid, overheating, or repeated top-offs.
Transmission or drivetrain fluid
Fluid beneath the vehicle or a falling fluid level.
Brake fluid concern
Low brake fluid, a soft pedal, or a warning light needs prompt attention.
Power steering fluid
A leak near steering components or changing steering feel.
Water inside the cabin
Damp carpet or a recurring water intrusion concern.
Scope of service
Which Leak Repairs Can Be Mobile?
The answer depends on the source, vehicle design, access, and whether the work can be done safely at your location.
Possible mobile repairs
Accessible hoses, clamps, reservoirs, seals, and other suitable external components may be repairable on site after inspection.
Jobs that may need a shop
Leaks requiring major disassembly, a vehicle lift, extensive cleaning, specialized equipment, or complex sealing work may need a repair facility.
When diagnosis is inconclusive
Some leaks are intermittent or hidden. We’ll explain what was checked and whether additional testing or shop equipment is needed.
Safety
When to Stop Driving
If the engine overheats, oil pressure warning comes on, brake pedal feels soft, or a fluid is leaking heavily, stop in a safe place and shut the vehicle off. Arrange a tow if needed. Do not open a hot cooling system or drive with a suspected brake fluid leak.
How it works
Diagnosis Before Repair
Describe the leak
Share the vehicle, location, fluid appearance, puddle location, warning lights, and any recent work.
Confirm the visit
We’ll discuss the diagnostic charge and whether an on-site inspection makes sense.
Review findings
Ed checks the accessible areas and explains the likely source and next step.
Approve a suitable repair
If the job is appropriate for mobile service, you’ll receive a separate repair estimate before work begins.
Diagnostic terms
What to Expect From the Visit
Leak diagnosis is a paid service, with the charge and agreed scope confirmed before scheduling. The diagnostic charge applies to completed diagnostic work even if the repair is declined, cannot be completed on site, or requires a shop. Parts, repairs, and additional testing are quoted separately before proceeding.
Questions
Leak Repair FAQs
Can you quote the repair from a photo?
A photo can help us prepare, but the leak source and repair access generally need inspection before a reliable quote.
Do you repair every type of leak?
No. We evaluate each vehicle and leak. Some repairs require a lift, major disassembly, or specialized shop equipment.
What if the leak cannot be found right away?
We’ll explain what was checked and recommend any further testing needed. We won’t promise a repair without identifying the problem.
Where do you provide service?
We serve eligible locations in the northwest Houston area, including Katy, Cypress, Tomball, and Magnolia. Share your location to confirm availability.
