Auto repair that comes to you in Granite Bay

Granite Bay is full of trucks, SUVs and vehicles that tow boats and trailers out to Folsom Lake. Heavier vehicles and towing are hard on brakes and suspension, and a trailer with worn brakes or dry bearings is a safety problem. Jake services both, at your home.

Larger lots mean a repair is easy to set up without blocking anyone in. If you would rather not give up half a day driving to a shop and waiting, a mobile repair at your house is a straightforward alternative.
