Old and new alternator side by side during a mobile replacement

What it is

A warning light or a car that won't start usually means a tow and a day without it. We come to the vehicle instead: scan the codes, test the electrical system and find out what has actually failed before any part gets ordered.

Most of what we see gets fixed on the spot. Recent jobs include alternator replacements on cars with starting problems and a power steering line swapped out in a driveway. If a job is better done in a shop, we'll say so up front.

What's included

How a repair goes

Tell us the symptoms

What it's doing, what it isn't, and any lights on the dash. Year, make and model help us turn up with the right tools.

Diagnose first

Codes get read and the electrical system gets tested, so the repair is aimed at the actual fault and not a guess.

Quote, then repair

You get a price before any work starts. Once you say go, the old part comes out and the new one goes in, right where the car is parked.

Test and hand back

We start it, check it and show you what was replaced. In our own words: we won't stop until you're satisfied with the results.

Paula N. — I highly recommend both the mobile mechanic and detailing services. Carly and Geoffrey are professional, honest and detail oriented. They go above and beyond in the services they offer. Highly recommend.

Laura Z. — 100000% recommend ! I went through so many mechanics & these guys are the BEST! Super affordable & honest! MOST IMPORTANTLY RELIABLE!! straightforward with everything , respectful and clean work!

Susan H. — My 10 year old car looks like new! C & G Mobile were professional, on time, and did a fabulous job. I highly recommend them to anyone who appreciates attention detail. Thank you, C&G!!!

Adam H. — They have detailed both my cars several times, and each time I’m blown away with how great the cars look when they are done! We have a big family so sometimes the inside can get pretty bad, but once they detail it everything is feeling brand new. They are friendly and courteous as well, and come out to us to do the work, which is really convenient.

Good to know

Questions, answered

For a lot of jobs, yes. Alternators, batteries, power steering lines, spark plugs, brakes and electrical faults are all work we do on site. Tell us what the car is doing and we'll tell you whether it can be done where it's parked.

Reading the stored fault codes, testing the electrical system and looking at the parts those results point to. The aim is to know what has failed before anything is replaced.

Per job. Detailing has set tiers, but a repair depends on the vehicle and the part, so you get a quote before any work starts.

Access to the vehicle and the keys. We bring our own equipment and products. When you book, tell us where it will be parked and whether there's a water spigot nearby, and we'll plan around it.

Yes. That's the point of having mechanics and detailers under one name. Tell us everything the car needs when you book.

Let's get it sorted

Tell us the vehicle, what it needs and where it's parked. We'll come back with a price and a time. San Diego and the surrounding cities.
