I come to you

Driveway, parking lot, roadside or kitchen. I fix it right there.

How parts work

You buy them

After I look, I text you the exact parts and part numbers plus where to get them. You pick them up or order them, and I install them. You keep control of the cost.

How parts work

I buy them

Rather not deal with it? I pick up the parts, send you a photo of the receipt, and you pay me back exactly what the receipt says. No markup, ever.

Straight answers. Fair labor. Your parts, your choice. And if it's not my job, I'll point you to someone who can do it.

That's the Medrick promise. No upsells, no "while we're in there," no scare tactics. If I can't fix it, or it needs a licensed plumber, electrician, tow truck or body shop, I'll tell you and send you to someone I trust.

About Medrick

25 years. Cars and homes.

For 25 years Medrick has been the one people call when something breaks, whether it's the car in the driveway or the dryer in the laundry room.

He started out turning wrenches on engines and never stopped learning. Somewhere along the way, neighbors started asking about their washers, their ceiling fans and that faucet that won't quit dripping. Today Medrick's Mobile Mechanic covers both sides: the Driveway and the Doorway.

The way he works hasn't changed. He comes to you. He tells you straight what's wrong and what it costs before he starts. He charges for labor only, so you're never paying a markup on parts. And when a job isn't his, he says so and sends you to someone he trusts.

FAQ

Questions folks ask

Don't see yours? Text 504-319-7385.

What does "labor only" mean?

You pay for my time and skill. Parts are separate: you buy them yourself, or I pick them up and you pay back exactly what the receipt says. No markup on parts, ever.

How much is a diagnostic?

$85 on a Scheduled visit and $110 Same Day. If you approve the repair during that same visit, the diagnostic fee goes toward the repair.

Do you work on all makes and models?

Most cars, trucks and SUVs, foreign and domestic. Big jobs like transmission rebuilds, body work and heavy diesel get an honest referral to a shop I trust.

Do you do plumbing and electrical?

Light plumbing and light electrical: faucets, toilets, disposals, outlets, switches, fans and fixtures. Anything that needs a licensed plumber or electrician, I'll refer you to a good one.

Can you work in my apartment parking lot?

Most of the time, yes. Check with your property manager if they have rules about car repairs on site, and put your gate code in the request so I can get in.

How fast can you get here?

Scheduled visits happen in the 2 to 3 day window you pick. Same Day means today if you book by noon and a slot is open. 24/7 Emergency means I call you back right away and give you an arrival time.

How do I pay?

Card, Cash App, Zelle or cash. For 24/7 Emergency calls the call-out fee is due when I arrive.

Do you guarantee your work?

Yes. If something I installed isn't right, call me and I'll come back and make it right on the labor.

Do you tow?

No. I'm a mobile mechanic, not a tow service. If your vehicle needs to go to a shop, I'll tell you and point you to a tow company I trust.
