What I do

Maintenance and repair, right at your curb

No tow, no waiting room, no day without your car. Here is the work that is printed on my van door.

Oil changes

I pull up to your driveway or parking spot and change your oil and filter while you carry on with your day.

Brakes

Pads, rotors, the whole job. One customer had me out the next day and her new rotors and brakes were on the same afternoon.

Engine diagnostics

I find out what is actually wrong and explain it as I go, so you know what the work is and why it is needed.

Headlight restoration

Yellow, foggy headlights brought back so you can see the road at night.

Tuneups

Routine maintenance to keep your car running the way it should, done where it is parked.

And more

Stuck oil filters, a flat that needs patching, a smell you cannot place. Call or text me and tell me what is going on.

Recent jobs

Driveways, parking lots and gas stations

Brakes, same day

I look the car over at your place, tell you straight what it needs, and get it done. A brake customer put it this way:

“He installed everything same day and had my car ready in about 2.5 hours.”

Stuck, mangled or leaking

Some jobs are small and still stop you cold. A filter you cannot budge, a tire that keeps going soft, a smell that will not leave.

“I had a oil filter that I could not get off for 3 hours and had completely mangled he came by and was very quick and efficient in getting it off.”

About me

I'm Gus. I explain what I'm doing while I do it.

My goal is to give you the convenience of a mechanic who is mobile and flexible, whenever you need repair or maintenance.

I only fix what you need fixed. If you want to know what is going on under the hood, ask, and I will show you.

What my customers say

“Awesome guy. Very honest and upfront. Doesn't try to upsell and sell you what you didn't ask for or need. Very personable and a pleasure to talk to. If you are the kind to wonder what the hell the mechanic is even doing to your vehicle, he'll explain the work as he goes to let you know exactly what is going on. That's the kind of service and knowledge you won't get at a shop. Definitely give my man Gus a call. You won't be disappointed.”

“I was in desperate need for brake repair, I saw Slender Mobile on google and it had great reviews. Gustavo was able to come out to my house next day inspected my car and told me that I needed new rotors and brakes. He installed everything same day and had my car ready in about 2.5 hours. Gustavo is very knowledgeable, patient and respectable. I will continue to use him in the future. THANK YOU SO MUCH GUSTAVO!!!! 10/10 RECOMMEND”

“I wanted to write a review to thank the owner of this company for being such a Good Samaritan. I happened to be filling my tire up with air at a gas station with my one year old when I was stopped and asked if I needed any help. I had mentioned that I was alright and I had been doing this on a weekly basis for one of my tires I just hadn’t had time to get it properly fixed with working and having my young daughter. He then asked if he could take a look for me. All of this then turned into him patching my tire for me at a gas station without any hesitation. I will definitely be paying it forward with a good deed in the future and referring all my local people to this company just based off how kind and generous he was! Thank you again so so much.”

“Gus was able to extract a mouse nest and family (remains of a mama mouse with 3 babies) from my car, to the left of the glove box. Amazing! The smell had been putrid and now is fresh. I am so grateful. Thank you, Gus!”
