Auto repair that comes to you in Rocklin

Rocklin drivers put a lot of miles on their vehicles: Interstate 80 and Highway 65 commutes, school runs along Sierra College Blvd and Rocklin Rd, and weekend trips up the hill. Brakes, suspension, batteries and belts take the wear. Jake fixes them where the vehicle is parked, so you do not have to find a ride home from a shop.

Many Rocklin neighborhoods, including Stanford Ranch, Whitney Oaks and Sunset Whitney, have driveways with plenty of room to work. If your HOA has rules about repair work on the street or driveway, mention it when you call and Jake will work around them.
