Mobile mechanic in Pinetop-Lakeside

This is home. Lakeside to Pinetop is inside the ten free miles on a jump, and most of the town is a fifteen-minute drive from the truck.

0 to 6 miles from Lakeside. Prices are the floor. We set a fair number with you.

Pinetop-Lakeside is a town of driveways on dirt, cabins on side streets the plow visits last, and two highways that carry everyone: White Mountain Boulevard through the middle and SR 260 to Show Low and east toward Hon-Dah. We know which side streets a two-wheel-drive truck can take in a storm and which ones mean a walk-in with the jump pack.

Half our winter calls are cold-soak batteries in cabin driveways: a car that sat a week while the owner was in the Valley, or a second car that only moves on weekends. The other half are flats from the chip-seal and forest-road pins, and lockouts at the lakes.

Summer is different. Visitors on the Boulevard with a boat trailer and a wheel bearing, overheated SUVs that climbed from Phoenix with low coolant, and the first-of-the-season RV that sat all winter and now will not start.

Roads and what goes wrong on them

  • White Mountain Boulevard Shoulder is narrow through town; stay in the car and we work from the truck side. Lockouts at the grocery lots and the lakes are our most common summer call.
  • SR 260 west of town The grade toward Show Low finds tired brakes. A soft pedal or a hot wheel on the way down is a stop-and-call, not a drive-on.
  • Cabin side streets Cold-soak batteries after a week unattended. Unplowed streets may mean a short walk with the jump pack; tell us when you call.
  • Forest roads off 260 and Porter Mountain Road Pins and sidewall cuts on the graded roads. Graded is fine; rutted two-tracks after a storm are usually a no.

Questions from Pinetop-Lakeside

Is there a mileage charge inside Pinetop-Lakeside?
Not on a jump; the first ten miles from Lakeside are included and the town fits inside them. Flats and lockouts carry a small mileage line that is usually a few dollars inside town.
Can you get up my street in the snow?
If a plow has been through, yes. If not, we park at the nearest cleared road and walk the jump pack or the tools in. Say which when you text the cross street.
Do you come to the cabin if I am not there?
With your okay and a way to get into the car, yes. People leave a key with a neighbor or in a lockbox and we text photos when it is done.
How fast can you get here?
Inside town, usually within the hour. We give you a real arrival time when you call rather than a promise.
