recommended by a couple of them. Well he did not disappoint. We called, he scheduled us in, he came and he fixed it same day. It took most of the day but it was done here at our home without having to tow it anywhere. Of course we will use his services again.

diagnosed the issue and saved me hundreds, if not thousands, of would-be costs had I listened to the first tech. He was fast in responding and very professional.

and drive to get the job done efficiently and effectively. He works with OEM parts and offers warranty on his work equivalent to that of dealerships which is extremely rare for small business auto mechanics. He replaced the starter on my Infiniti Q60S. The starter is located in a place that's extremely difficult to find space to remove it, but with a little improvisation he made it work! He also buffed out a few minor scratches on my front bumper at no cost! His prices are very honest and his labor rate is extremely reasonable, especially in this economy. Definitely recommend Stewart Mobile Repair for all your auto repair needs. I know I'll definitely be calling him in the future!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you diagnose a check engine light at my location?
Yes. We can scan codes and perform practical checks at your location for most check-engine-light concerns.
Do you only clear the codes?
No. Clearing codes without finding the cause just hides the problem until the light returns. We focus on identifying the real repair.
Is it safe to drive with the check engine light on?
A flashing check engine light can indicate a misfire that may damage the catalytic converter. Avoid hard acceleration and arrange prompt assessment. If the vehicle shakes severely, loses power, overheats, or displays an oil-pressure warning, stop as soon as it is safe and arrange assistance. Follow your vehicle's owner's manual; a steady light alone is not proof that it is safe to keep driving.
Could it just be a loose gas cap?
Sometimes, yes. A loose or failing gas cap is a common cause. We confirm it rather than guessing, so you don't replace parts you don't need.

Don't Ignore the Light.We Come to You.

Accurate. Honest. Professional.

A fault code is a starting point, not a parts list

Tell us whether the light is steady or flashing, when it appeared, and whether the engine runs differently. Share any code or scan report you already have. A code describes a detected condition; testing helps determine whether the cause is a component, wiring, or another related problem before replacement is recommended.

Manufacturer guidance matters: the Ford owner’s manual warning-light guidance explains the risk of misfire and catalytic-converter damage when the light flashes. Check the instructions for your own year and model, as warning meanings and required actions vary.

For a vehicle that will not start or an electrical concern without a check engine light, see mobile diagnostics. If you are evaluating a used car, a pre-purchase inspection has a different scope from diagnosing one warning light.

Before your visit, read our guide: what to tell your mechanic when the check engine light comes on.

Before your mobile service visit

Tell us your vehicle year, make, model, symptoms, and where it is parked. If a part has already been diagnosed, share what was tested. We confirm the repair scope and provide an estimate before approved work begins.

Mobile work needs a safe and legal work area. Depending on the vehicle, repair, and parking conditions, we may recommend a shop referral.

Our primary service area is around Fremont, generally within about 15 miles. We also serve extended Bay Area locations, including Dublin and Pleasanton. Availability depends on your exact address, vehicle, repair, scheduling, and a safe work area. Share your location so we can confirm the visit before scheduling.

Eligible parts and associated labor are covered for 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. Exclusions include customer-supplied parts, normal wear after use, and damage from misuse or subsequent repairs by another party. Read the warranty terms.
