Mobile Automotive Diagnostics

Our Approach Is Simple

Find the problem.
Prove the failure.
Help you move forward.

Method Mechanic provides mobile diagnostic support for shops and fleet operators dealing with problems that are not obvious, routine, or easy to pin down.

We focus on electrical faults, drivability issues, air-conditioning problems, and other system-level concerns that require real testing instead of assumptions.

The goal is simple: identify the fault correctly, verify it with confidence, and give the shop something useful they can act on.

No guessing. No parts swapping. Just solid diagnostic work.

Additional Services
Remote Review + Programming

Remote Review Consultation

$60

A limited, evidence-based review of what you send (photos, short video clips, scan-tool screenshots, scope captures, wiring excerpts, and your notes). This is for quick direction and confirmation—not full troubleshooting.

  • One vehicle, one concern, one system/circuit.
  • Two written responses: (1) primary direction + likely next checks and what I would verify on-vehicle; (2) one clarification pass based on your reply (confirmations and minor questions only).
  • Not a diagnostic service and not a substitute for in-person testing.
  • No open-ended back-and-forth, live coaching, or unlimited follow-ups.
If the issue requires confirmation steps, on-vehicle testing, or extended support, it will need to be scheduled as an on-site diagnostic visit and billed under the applicable hourly rate.
Mobile Module Programming COMING SOON

Selective OEM module programming for pre-approved jobs. Limited rollout while tooling, subscriptions, and workflow are finalized.

  • Supported makes/models will be published as the service launches.
  • Pricing will be posted once coverage is verified.
  • Some vehicles may require in-shop support or dealer-level access.
