Meet Dan
Forty years under hoods. Goodyear trusted him with the whole shop.
Dan spent four decades fixing cars — including years running a Goodyear mechanical shop as its manager, responsible for every repair that rolled out the door. Now the same hands come to your driveway instead. It’s a family-owned business, which means the voice on the phone, the quote and the wrenches all belong to the same person.
Fixed right, explained straight, and priced before the work starts.

No tow truck
The mechanic drives, not the car. A no-start never needs a $150 tow to get fixed.
No waiting room
Stay home, stay at work. Your day keeps going while the repair happens outside.
You watch the repair
The work happens in front of you — the old parts, the new parts, no mystery line items.

Straight answers
The questions everyone asks first.
What does a driveway visit cost?
Estimates are free and given before Dan drives anywhere. Tell him the car and what it's doing, and you get a real number up front. If seeing the car changes anything, you hear it — and approve it — before any work starts. With no shop overhead and no tow bill on top, a house call usually costs less than the repair-shop version of the same job.
Do I pay before the work?
No. The price is agreed before the toolbox opens, and you pay when the job is finished. Cash and all major cards are accepted.
Do you really come to me?
That's the whole business. Dan drives a fully equipped service vehicle to your driveway, your workplace lot, or wherever the car quit — anywhere in Kenilworth, NJ and the surrounding Union County towns. No tow truck, no ride home from a shop.
What areas do you serve?
Home base is Kenilworth, NJ, and the regular route covers Union, Cranford, Roselle Park, Westfield, Garwood, Springfield, Clark, Elizabeth, Linden, Mountainside and Rahway. On the edge of the map? Call us and ask — the answer is usually yes.
What repairs can be done on-site?
Most of what cars actually need: brakes, batteries, starters, alternators, oil changes and scheduled maintenance, suspension and steering work, diagnostics, belts, and no-start problems. The rare job that truly needs a lift — a transmission rebuild, say — gets an honest heads-up and a plan for the most economical way to handle it.
