Frequently Asked Questions
How does mobile mechanic service work?
You call or text your vehicle issue and location, and D&A comes directly to your driveway or roadside. Work is completed on-site while you stay with your vehicle—no tow, no drop-off, no waiting room. Most jobs finish in two to three hours.
What repairs does D&A handle on-site?
D&A focuses on batteries, starters, alternators, brakes, spark plugs, tune-ups, suspension and steering, check engine lights for common sensor codes, and engine and cooling system repairs. Every job is selected because it can be completed in two to three hours without shop equipment.
How long does a typical on-site repair take?
Most jobs—battery swaps, alternator replacements, brake pad changes, and spark plug replacements—complete in two to three hours at your location. Appointments are structured to fit within that window so your day stays on track.
What does the $150 diagnostic fee cover?
The $150 fee covers on-site diagnosis of your vehicle's concern. If you proceed with the repair, the full $150 is credited toward your repair total—so you're not paying for diagnosis on top of the fix. No guesswork billing.
Can you fix my brakes at home?
Yes. D&A performs brake pad replacement and basic brake repairs at your driveway in Mooresville, Cornelius, Davidson, Huntersville, Statesville, and Charlotte. Pad replacement and light rotor work complete in two to three hours; major hydraulic or ABS overhauls are outside the service scope.
Do you replace batteries and alternators at my location?
Battery, starter, and alternator replacements are D&A's preferred quick jobs. These straightforward swaps complete on-site in two to three hours with no towing needed. If the issue turns out to be a complex wiring fault, you get an honest assessment rather than a five-hour guesswork bill.
What happens when my check engine light comes on?
D&A diagnoses common warning light codes—O2 sensors, airflow sensors, loose gas caps—on-site and replaces the faulty part during the same visit. If the root cause requires multi-hour electrical circuit tracing, the situation is explained clearly so you can decide your next step without surprise charges.
Does D&A handle suspension and steering repairs?
Yes. Ball joints, tie rods, struts, and control arms are inspected and serviced at your location. Most suspension repairs complete same-day; cooling system work like thermostat and water pump replacement is also on the menu. At D&A, all work stays focused on mechanical components that can be replaced quickly on-site.
What repairs are outside D&A's service scope?
D&A skips major engine overhauls, multi-hour electrical diagnostics, and major transmission rebuilds. This keeps jobs predictable and finishes them in two to three hours—you're never billed for hours of guesswork on problems that need a fully equipped shop. Straightforward, honest work only.
What areas around Mooresville does D&A serve?
D&A Mobile Mechanics serves Mooresville, Cornelius, Davidson, Huntersville, Statesville, and Charlotte. Service comes to your driveway, workplace, or roadside location throughout the Lake Norman area and the I-77 corridor—seven days a week, 8 AM to 5 PM.
