Welcome to On Site Auto Repair!
Auto Mechanic in Santa Rosa, CA | On Site Auto Repair

That’s where On Site Auto Repair comes in.
We provide mobile auto mechanic services in Santa Rosa, CA, bringing professional car repair and maintenance directly to your home, office, or roadside location. No crowded repair shops. No sitting in a waiting room for hours. Just honest auto repair from experienced mechanics who show up ready to work.

What Makes Mobile Auto Repair Different?
A lot of people ask if mobile mechanics can really do the same quality work as a traditional shop.
In many cases, yes.
Here’s the thing most people don’t realize: many common repairs don’t require a large garage. They require the right tools, experience, and accurate diagnostics.
We arrive equipped with professional-grade tools including:
- Diagnostic software
- OBD-II scanners
- Torque wrenches
- Hydraulic floor jacks
- Jack stands
- Multimeters
- Fuel pressure gauges
For larger repairs requiring lifts or specialty equipment, we’ll always be upfront about what’s realistic on-site and what isn’t.
Mobile Auto Repair That Fits Real Life
Most people don’t have time to rearrange their whole day around a mechanic appointment.
Maybe your car won’t start before work. Maybe your brakes started grinding while running errands. Or maybe you’ve been putting off maintenance because getting to a repair shop feels like a project by itself.
We get it.
Our mobile mechanic service is built around convenience without cutting corners on quality. We come to you with professional tools, diagnostic equipment, and OEM-quality parts so many repairs can be completed right on-site.
That means less stress, less downtime, and no towing bill in many cases.
Auto Repair Services We Offer in Santa Rosa, CA
Our shop at 363 W 9th St B & C handles a wide range of repairs and maintenance for drivers across Santa Rosa and Sonoma County.
Engine Diagnostics and Check Engine Light
A check engine light means your car is reporting a fault. We connect an OBD-II scanner, read the fault codes, and explain what they mean in plain language. We diagnose the problem first, then tell you what the repair will cost.
Oil Change Service
We do full-synthetic and conventional oil changes. We use the viscosity grade your manufacturer specifies, such as 5W-30, 5W-20, or 0W-20, and we replace the oil filter every time.
Brake Repair and Replacement
Worn brake pads squeak. Worn rotors grind. A soft brake pedal is a warning. We inspect and replace brake pads, rotors, and calipers using OEM-quality and aftermarket parts, depending on your budget.
Battery, Alternator, and Starter Repair
We test your battery with a load tester, not just a voltage check. We also test the alternator and starter, because a failing alternator will kill a new battery quickly.
AC and Heating Repair
If your AC is not blowing cold, we recharge the refrigerant and check for leaks. If your heat is not working, we diagnose the cause and repair it.
Scheduled Maintenance and Tune-Ups
We handle spark plug replacement, belt inspection and replacement, air and cabin filter replacement, fuel system service, coolant flushes, and transmission fluid service. If you are not sure what your car is due for, we look it up by make, model, and mileage.
Tire Rotation and Inspection
Uneven tire wear affects handling, fuel economy, and tire life. We rotate your tires, measure tread depth, inspect the sidewalls, and check the pressure.
Pre-Purchase Inspection
Thinking about buying a used car? We check the brakes, belts, fluids, undercarriage, and suspension, and we run a diagnostic scan for hidden fault codes. Call for current pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our certified mechanics answer the most common car repair questions to help you stay informed and confident. Explore our FAQs for honest, expert advice trusted by Santa Rosa drivers.
How does mobile auto repair work?
We travel to your location with tools, diagnostic equipment, and many common replacement parts. After inspecting the vehicle, we diagnose the issue, provide an estimate, and complete approved repairs on-site whenever possible.
Can a mobile mechanic do the same repairs as a regular shop?
Many repairs can absolutely be completed on-site, including brakes, batteries, diagnostics, oil changes, starters, alternators, belts, filters, and more. Larger repairs that require heavy shop equipment may still need a garage setting.
Do you service all vehicle makes and models?
We work on most domestic and import vehicles, including cars, SUVs, minivans, light-duty trucks, and many hybrid models.
What areas do you serve around Santa Rosa?
We serve Santa Rosa and nearby areas including Rohnert Park, Petaluma, Windsor, Healdsburg, Sebastopol, Cotati, and other Sonoma County communities.
How much does a mobile mechanic cost in Santa Rosa?
Pricing depends on the repair, vehicle type, parts needed, and labor involved. Mobile repair can often save money by reducing towing fees and shop overhead costs. We provide upfront estimates before work begins.
What should I do if my check engine light comes on?
If the vehicle is running normally, schedule diagnostics soon to prevent possible damage. If the car is shaking, overheating, losing power, or flashing the check engine light, stop driving and have it inspected right away.
Do you offer same-day mechanic service?
Yes, same-day appointments may be available depending on scheduling and the type of repair needed. Calling earlier in the day usually gives you the best chance for same-day service.
