Pre-purchase inspection
Atlanta private-party listings move fast. We meet you at the seller in Grant Park, East Atlanta, or a Stewart Avenue lot, walk the car, scan it, and send a written summary before you send a deposit.

Mobile Mechanic in Atlanta
Keep your car right where it is and skip the tow.
Getting a disabled car across the Connector to a shop is difficult in-town, between tight parking decks and one-way streets in Midtown. Road Wrencher brings the repair to the car instead.
We come to you, whether the car is in a West End lot, on the street in Old Fourth Ward, or in your driveway. We diagnose the issue, give you the parts list so you can buy at retail price, and install them for a flat rate quoted up front. A check engine light can be handled where you park, without a tow or half a day downtown.
Call (770) 686-7955 or send the form. We will text you to confirm your symptoms and quote before we roll out.
In-town, on your block
What Atlanta drivers book most
Used-car listings on Moreland, warning lights on the Connector, and short in-town trips that shorten oil life. You buy the parts and we do the labor where the car is parked.
Diagnostics
A stored code points to a system; testing confirms the cause. We scan and test in a legal in-town spot, match the symptom to the system, and tell you which part to buy. You own the parts and we handle the labor once they arrive.

Oil change
Short Midtown and Westside trips age oil faster than highway miles. We drain and refill on a level pad or driveway at your home or office. Supply the oil and filter yourself if you prefer, and we take the used oil with us.
See how a visit worksWhat a visit can cover
Road Wrencher works on most gasoline cars and light trucks, of any common make, where the car is already parked. Typical driveway jobs include diagnostics, brakes and rotors, alternators, starters, power steering, batteries, oil changes, suspension checks, heat and A/C, thermostats, water pumps, and drive or accessory belts, plus other bolt-on work we quote after we look. We bring the tools for the booked job, so the car stays where it is.
What we leave to a shop
Some work belongs in a shop with a lift and dedicated equipment: transmission rebuilds, engine swaps, PCM programming, tire balancing, alignments, glass, and bodywork. We can mount a tire you already purchased when the ground is safe to lift, though balancing and alignment need shop equipment. When a repair calls for a lift or a specialty tool we do not carry, we tell you before we start.
From a driveway in Atlanta
“They scanned the Civic in my Old Fourth Ward driveway and confirmed it was the coil, so I knew exactly which part to buy. I ordered it and they installed it the next visit.”
Common Atlanta questions
Can you work on a car parked on an Atlanta street?
- Yes, when the spot is legal, reasonably level, and we can lift or access the vehicle safely. If the street is a tow-away zone or too tight to work in, we let you know ahead of time and ask for a driveway or lot.
Do you inspect used cars at Atlanta sellers?
- Yes. Share the listing, the VIN if you have it, and the meeting address. We inspect on site in-town as long as we can legally work there.
Is a mobile visit cheaper than an in-town shop?
- You buy the parts at retail, so there is no markup from us. Labor is quoted once we have inspected the car, and you save the trip and the time downtown.
