A dairy operation off S Tiger Dr called on a Thursday afternoon about a flatbed that wouldn’t start. Hauling feed in two hours, no backup truck. We grabbed a starter, a battery, and a meter, drove over, found a tired starter motor and a dead cell, swapped both in the dirt parking lot, and the truck made the feed run on time. That kind of call is exactly what mobile mechanic Jerome Idaho service exists for — downtime is expensive out here, and getting a truck running where it’s parked is the difference between a job done and a day lost.
Bringing a truck to a shop is sometimes the wrong move. Farm trucks, work vans, fleet rigs, and broken-down haulers on the side of the freeway all need on-site help. We built our mobile service around the realities of working in the Magic Valley.
What we handle on-site
- No-start calls — batteries, starters, alternators, glow plugs, fuel issues.
- Diagnostics with a full scan tool, including diesel-specific platforms.
- Brake work, including pads and rotors on light and heavy-duty trucks.
- Sensor and module replacement.
- Fluid services — oil, coolant, fuel filter, water separator.
- Belt, hose, and pulley replacement.
- Wiring repair and light electrical work.
- Pre-trip and post-trip inspections at your yard or job site.
Where we work
Most of our mobile work is in Jerome and the surrounding Magic Valley. Common stops include dairy operations along S Tiger Dr, farms off 100 South Rd, breakdowns on I-84 between Jerome and Twin Falls, freight stops along US-93, and job sites near the Jerome Industrial Park. We regularly run to Wendell, Gooding, Buhl, Filer, Kimberly, Hagerman, Hansen, Eden, and Shoshone.
Day rates and travel are quoted before we leave the shop. For long distances we’ll often suggest towing to the shop instead — if the repair is going to take longer than the drive home, the customer usually saves money that way.
What mobile service looks like
Tell us where you are, the year/make/model, and a short description of what’s wrong. We’ll give a written estimate before we leave — diagnostic time, parts, and labor. We show up with the truck stocked for the call, do the work where the vehicle is parked, and send the invoice when the job is done.
If we find something on-site that needs the shop — a transmission, a major engine job, a wheel bearing that needs a press — we’ll tell you immediately and get a tow scheduled. We won’t pretend we can finish a job in the dirt that really needs a lift.
How mobile service fits with the rest of the shop
Mobile and shop work back each other up. A call that starts mobile and turns into a heavier job moves to our diesel repair bay. Fleet customers usually move to a scheduled program through our fleet services, where we mix shop visits and on-site PMs to keep downtime to a minimum. For anything that needs a recovery rather than a repair, see our towing page. The full menu is on the services page.
Honest estimates, real timelines
Mobile service is priced by job, not by hour-on-the-clock guesswork. You get a written estimate before we head out, and we call before going past it. If your situation is closer to a tow than a fix, we’ll say so. Call or book online and we’ll get you scheduled — same-day when we can.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of work can you do on-site?
Most repairs that don’t require a lift or a press. Starters, alternators, batteries, brakes, sensors, fluid services, glow plug work, light electrical, mobile diagnostics, no-start calls, and a lot of farm and fleet maintenance. If a job needs to come back to the shop, we’ll tell you up front.
Where do you service?
Jerome, Twin Falls, Wendell, Gooding, Buhl, Filer, Kimberly, Hagerman, Hansen, Eden, Shoshone, and the rest of the Magic Valley. Day rates and travel are quoted before we leave the shop.
Do you do mobile diesel work?
Yes — on-site diesel diagnostics, glow plug and relay work, batteries, starters, sensor replacement, fuel filter and water-separator service. Heavy injector and high-pressure pump jobs may still come to the shop.
Can you come to a job site or farm operation?
That’s most of what mobile service is for out here. Dairy operations, irrigation crews, construction sites, harvest fields — we work where the trucks are working.
