Markham, Ontario · Open 24 hours
Your car breaks down. We drive to it.
A licensed mobile mechanic working out of 302 Apple Creek Blvd, covering Markham and the surrounding York Region streets. No tow, no waiting room, no drop-off. We bring the tools, the scanner and the parts to your driveway, your office parking lot, or the shoulder of the 407.
Why people call instead of towing
A tow to a shop in Markham runs $120–$180 before anyone has even looked at the car, and then you're waiting on a bay. We skip both. One call, one arrival window, one price quoted before we start turning bolts.
The index
What we fix, and what it usually costs
Tap any line to open it. Everything below is work we do on-site — if a job genuinely needs a lift or a shop bay, we'll tell you on the phone before we drive out, not after.
01 No-start & dead batteryBoost, test, replace — most calls solved in under an hour
The single most common call we get, and usually the fastest to close. We arrive with a load tester and a boost pack, so we can tell you within a few minutes whether you're looking at a tired battery, a failing alternator, or a parasitic drain that's been quietly flattening the battery overnight.
If it's the battery, we carry common group sizes for Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, Ford, Mazda and VW on the van and can install on the spot — old battery taken away with us. If it's the alternator, we'll quote the part and the labour before we touch anything.
- Battery boost / jumpfrom $85
- Battery test + charging system checkfrom $95
- Battery replacement (part + install)from $210
- Alternator replacementquoted on arrival
- Parasitic drain diagnosisfrom $140
02 Brakes & rotorsPads, rotors, calipers, brake fluid — done in your driveway
Grinding, a soft pedal, a car that pulls to one side under braking, or a steering wheel that shudders when you come off the highway — all of it is driveway work. We jack and support the vehicle properly, pull the wheels, measure pad and rotor thickness, and show you the numbers before quoting.
We do front and rear axle sets, caliper replacement, seized slide pins, and brake fluid flushes. If your rotors are still within spec we'll say so and just do pads — we're not going to sell you parts you don't need.
- Front pad & rotor setfrom $340
- Rear pad & rotor setfrom $320
- Caliper replacement (each)from $260
- Brake fluid flushfrom $130
- Brake inspection with measurementsfrom $75
03 Check engine light & diagnosticsOBD-II scan, live data, and a straight answer
A flashing check engine light means stop driving. A steady one usually means you have a little time — but you still want to know what it is before it becomes a catalytic converter. We run a full OBD-II scan, read freeze-frame data, and check live sensor values rather than just handing you a code number.
Common findings: misfires from worn plugs or coils, EVAP leaks from a loose or cracked fuel cap seal, oxygen sensor drift, and mass airflow sensors that are dirty rather than dead. Where a code points at something we can fix on the spot, we fix it. Where it needs a dealer-level tool, we tell you that plainly and don't charge you for a guess.
- Full OBD-II scan + code explanationfrom $95
- Misfire diagnosis (coils, plugs, injectors)from $140
- Spark plug replacement (4-cyl)from $190
- Ignition coil replacement (each)from $150
- Pre-purchase inspectionfrom $160
04 Starters, alternators & electricalClicking, cranking slow, or draining overnight
A single loud click when you turn the key is usually the starter solenoid. A slow, laboured crank that gets worse in January is usually the battery or the charging circuit. Lights that dim when you turn the wheel, or a battery that's flat every second morning, point at a drain somewhere in the harness.
We test the charging system under load, check grounds and battery terminals for corrosion, and trace drains by pulling and measuring circuits. Starter and alternator swaps on most four-cylinder and V6 engines are driveway jobs — we'll confirm fitment by VIN before ordering.
- Starter replacementfrom $380
- Alternator replacementfrom $420
- Charging system testfrom $95
- Battery terminal clean & servicefrom $70
- Electrical fault tracing (per hour)$110
If your car is cranking but not catching, that's a different list — fuel delivery, spark, or a security immobiliser. Say so on the phone and we'll bring the right test gear the first time.
05 Oil changes & scheduled maintenanceFull synthetic, filter, fluids, and a look underneath
An oil change in your own driveway, on your own schedule, without booking a Saturday morning at a shop. We bring the oil and the filter, drain into a sealed pan, and take the used oil away with us for proper disposal.
While the car is up we check tire pressures and tread, top up washer fluid and coolant if needed, and give you a short written note of anything we spotted — belt cracking, a weeping seal, a CV boot starting to split. No upsell, just what we saw.
- Full synthetic oil & filter (4-cyl)from $120
- Full synthetic oil & filter (V6 / SUV)from $145
- Engine air filter replacementfrom $65
- Cabin air filter replacementfrom $75
- Coolant top-up / flushfrom $140
06 Tires, flat repair & seasonal swapsIncluding the April and November rush
Winter-to-all-season and back again, done in your driveway with a torque wrench and a proper sequence — not an impact gun run to whatever it stops at. We also plug and patch punctures where the damage is in the repairable crown area, and tell you honestly when a sidewall hit means a new tire instead.
If you've got a slow leak that keeps coming back, we'll dunk the wheel and find it rather than just pumping it up again. Spare tire installation is included with any roadside call.
- Seasonal tire swap (set of 4)from $95
- Flat repair — plug & patchfrom $70
- Spare tire installationfrom $65
- Tire rotationfrom $70
- TPMS sensor replacementfrom $130
Book the swap a week before the first snow, not the morning of it. The last week of October and the first week of November fill up fastest.
07 Roadside & lockout helpHighway shoulder, parking garage, mall lot
If you're stopped somewhere you shouldn't be — the 407 shoulder, a plaza on Highway 7, a condo garage on Enterprise Blvd — call and tell us exactly where you are and which direction you're facing. We work a lot of these and we'll get to you as fast as traffic allows.
For your own safety: hazards on, stay in the car with your seatbelt on if you're on a live roadway, and if you can, put a marker behind the vehicle. We'll talk you through it on the phone while we're on the way.
- Roadside no-start callfrom $110
- Lockout assistancefrom $95
- Fuel delivery (you pay fuel cost)from $85
- After-hours surcharge (11pm–6am)$40
We don't tow. If the job genuinely can't be done where the car sits, we'll tell you straight and help you get the right tow rather than charging you an arrival fee for nothing.
How a call goes
Three steps, no waiting room
Call and describe it
Tell us the make, model and year, what it's doing, and where the car is sitting. A short description on the phone usually tells us which parts to load — that's the difference between one visit and two.
Get a window and a price
We give you an arrival window and a price range before we leave. If the job turns out to be something we can't do on-site, you hear that on the phone, not after an arrival fee.
We come to the car
Driveway, office lot, condo garage, roadside. Tools, scanner and common parts come with us. Most jobs are finished in the same visit and you drive away from where you already were.
Where we work
Markham first, York Region around it
We're based at 302 Apple Creek Blvd, just off Highway 7 near the Markham Village end of town. Most calls land inside a 30 km radius — if you're further out, call anyway and we'll tell you honestly whether it makes sense.

From the van
Half the cars we see never needed a shop. They needed someone with the right tool, standing in the right driveway, at the right hour. That's the whole business. Markham Mobile Car Mechanic 24/7
We work nights, weekends and holidays because that's when cars actually fail — a battery doesn't care that it's Sunday, and a starter doesn't wait for a service bay to open on Monday. If you're calling at 2am, you're not inconveniencing anyone. That's the job.
Get in touch
Call us — it's the fastest way
There's no form here and no booking queue. A phone call gets you a real answer in about two minutes, and we can usually tell you what's wrong before we've even left.

(905) 622-0168Answered around the clock, every day of the year. If we're under a car, leave a message with your location and the make and model — we call back.
