A Repair Shop That Drives To You

Larkby started with one van and a simple idea: most repairs don't need a lift, they need a good mechanic and the right parts. Instead of a waiting room, we bring the shop to your driveway or your office parking lot. You keep your day, we fix the car, and you see the old part before it goes in the trash. Every mechanic on our team is ASE-certified, and every repair is covered for 12 months or 12,000 miles.

What We Need From You

A Safe, Flat Spot

A driveway, garage or parking space where the car can stay put. Office lots are fine with permission.

The Keys

Hand them over in person or leave them somewhere safe, and we'll text when we're done.

Room To Work

About three feet clear around the car. We bring mats and clean up after ourselves.

A Heads-Up On Weather

We work in light rain under a canopy. In storms we'll call to move your slot.

Reviews

Drivers Who Skipped The Shop

★★★★★
My car wouldn't start on a work morning. I booked online at 7, the mechanic was in my driveway in the Highlands by 9:30, tested the battery and the alternator, and had me running before lunch. He even showed me the old battery's test result on his screen.
Rachel D.Driver, The Highlands
★★★★★
Front brakes done in my office parking lot in St. Matthews while I was in meetings. The price was exactly what they quoted, and they left the old pads on my seat in a bag so I could see how worn they were.
Marcus T.Driver, St. Matthews
★★★★★
The check engine light had been on for a month and the shop wanted the car for two days. Larkby read the codes in my driveway, found a cracked hose, and fixed it the same visit.

You See The Old Parts

Worn pads, the failed starter, the cracked hose. We leave them with you so you know what you paid for.

Every repair carries our 12-month, 12,000-mile warranty on parts and labor, and we come back to you if anything's wrong.

Questions

Mobile Repair, Answered

What can a mobile mechanic fix?

Most of the repairs people take to a shop: brakes, batteries, starters, alternators, belts, hoses, tune-ups and check engine lights. Jobs that need a lift, like transmission rebuilds or major engine work, we'll tell you upfront and point you to a shop we trust.

How much does a mobile mechanic cost?

Our diagnostic visit starts at $95 and is credited to the repair. Most repairs cost about the same as a local shop, without the tow. You get the exact price before we start.

Do I need to be home?

No. As long as we can reach the car and the keys, you can be at work or out. We text before we arrive and when we finish.

Can you work at my office or apartment?

Yes, if the lot allows it. Many offices and apartment complexes do. We work on a mat, catch every drop and leave the space as we found it.

What if it rains?

Light rain is fine; we bring a canopy. In storms or lightning we'll call to move your appointment.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes. Parts and labor are covered for 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first.
