Brakes
Decatur hills and in-town stoplights are hard on pads. We lift the car on an Oakhurst or East Lake driveway, measure all four corners, and quote what is out of spec. You buy the pads and we do the labor while you watch.

Mobile Mechanic in Decatur
Oakhurst driveways and Ponce traffic—we work exactly where your car is parked.
Decatur is a mix of tight Oakhurst bungalows, East Lake side streets, and Clairmont apartments. A spongy brake pedal or a rough-running engine is worth addressing before you take on downtown Decatur or Ponce traffic.
Road Wrencher works from your driveway or parking pad. We run a full diagnostic on site, hand you the exact parts list so you can buy at retail price, then install those parts for a flat labor fee quoted in advance. The car stays parked and you skip the tow.
Call (770) 686-7955 or send the form. We will text you to confirm your symptoms and a flat-rate quote before we roll out.
Oakhurst and East Lake pads
Decatur visits that skip downtown parking
Hills, one-way streets, and a square with limited parking. Brakes you can watch, air conditioning that holds a charge, and the battery from Church Street: you buy the parts and we do the labor.
AC repair
Air conditioning matters in a Ponce traffic jam in July. We test pressures and check for leaks in the driveway, then recharge once the system can hold refrigerant, so the repair lasts past the first hot week.

Battery install
A battery from the parts store on Church Street can be installed at the house. We fit it and test the charging system on a bungalow pad when access is safe. You own the battery and we handle the install.
What 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 Decatur
“Road Wrencher fixed my brakes right in my driveway in Decatur. I watched the job and paid for the pads I ordered myself.”
Common Decatur questions
Can you park and work in downtown Decatur?
- Street spaces near the square are often too tight or time-limited, so an Oakhurst, East Lake, or Clairmont driveway usually works better. Send the exact address and we will confirm.
Will you recharge AC if it might be leaking?
- We test first, because refrigerant added to an open system escapes again. If a leak is the underlying problem, we explain that repair and recharge the system once it can hold pressure.
Do you cover Druid Hills from Decatur?
- Yes. If the car sits closer to Emory or Fairview, the Druid Hills page matches the streets better.
