Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of repairs can IC Roadside & Key's mobile mechanic do?
Our mobile mechanics handle a wide range of common repairs including battery replacement, alternator and starter swaps, belt and hose replacement, brake pad replacement, spark plug changes, fuel pump diagnostics, sensor replacements, and OBD-II code reading. We carry professional diagnostic equipment and common parts on our service trucks. Repairs requiring a vehicle lift, transmission work, or specialized shop equipment would need a traditional shop visit.
Is mobile mechanic service more expensive than a shop?
Our mobile service rates are competitive with local shop rates in the Fairfax area. Most mobile repairs cost between $80 and $300 depending on the job, plus parts. You save on towing costs since we come directly to your home or workplace, which often makes the total bill lower than the combined cost of a tow plus shop labor. We provide a complete quote before starting any work.
Do you provide diagnostics on-site?
Yes, we carry professional-grade OBD-II diagnostic scanners and can read fault codes, check sensor readings, test battery and alternator output, and troubleshoot electrical and engine issues right at your location. A diagnostic visit typically costs $60 to $100 and includes a written report of findings with repair recommendations. If you approve repairs on the spot, the diagnostic fee is often applied toward the repair cost.
