Auto repair that comes to you in Lincoln

Lincoln is a commuter town. Highway 65 runs to Roseville and beyond, and long summer drives are hard on batteries, belts and cooling systems. Jake handles those repairs at your home or job site so a repair does not cost you a day of shuttling to and from a shop.

If you live in a gated or age-restricted community such as Lincoln Hills, check your parking and repair rules first. Jake only needs a safe, legal spot with room to work, and he is happy to talk through the setup before he arrives.
