How a house call works
No tow to a shop and no waiting room. The shop rides in the back of his truck.
- 1
Call or text
Say what the car is doing and where it’s parked. A photo of the dash helps.
- 2
He comes to the car
Your driveway, your work lot, the trailhead lot where it died. He looks it over where it sits and tells you what needs doing now and what can wait.

Fixed where it sits
Belt and brake jobs usually get done on the spot. The bigger ones take an evening or two in your driveway.
“He came out to the house the same afternoon, found a worn control arm, and had the new one in before dark. He walked me through the old part so I knew what I was paying for.”
What he works on
Foreign and domestic cars and trucks, from a belt in a parking lot to a clutch in the driveway.
Lights on the dash
A warning light on, or something electrical acting up? He plugs in, finds the cause and tells you what it needs.
- Check engine and ABS lights
- Electrical problems
- Power windows
- Alternators
- Instrument clusters
Regular upkeep
The routine work that keeps a daily driver running right.
Heating and A/C
A/C blowing warm in July, or no heat on a January morning. He carries the gauges and the service gear.
The big jobs
The heavy work, on cars and trucks, done in the driveway.
- Suspension work
- Clutches
- Engine rebuilds
- Transmission replacement
Not on the list? Describe what the car is doing and he’ll tell you if it’s a job for him.
Describe the problemIn their words
Sample reviews, written for this concept.
My car died in a trailhead lot outside Joshua Tree. I texted Wes a photo of the dash and he was there before sunset with a new belt. Fair price, and he showed me the old one.
On a live site this card links to the business’s Google reviews. Here the reviews are samples.
Where’s the car?
Wes covers seven Morongo Basin towns from his base in Yucca Valley. Tap yours, say what’s wrong, and it’s written as a text for you.

Ask for Wes
Nightjar Mobile Auto Repair is one mechanic and one well-stocked truck. Wes takes the call, drives out, and does the work himself, so the person who looked at your car is the person who fixes it.
He works on foreign and domestic cars and trucks, from a quick belt change in a parking lot to a clutch in the driveway.
The nightjar comes out at dusk, about when most cars give up. So does he.
The words customers keep using
Honest.
“Honest about what it would cost before he started”, Marcus T.
Knows his stuff.
“had it blowing cold by lunch”, Paula N.
Reasonable rates.
“Reasonable rates and he shows up when he says he will”, Ben A.
