Price Questions
How much is a motorcycle diagnostic in San Diego?
A diagnostic visit is $120, plus the $60 mobile service fee in the San Diego area. We find the actual fault on-site and quote the repair before doing it. Some owners only want the diagnosis so they can do the work themselves, and that's fine.
What is the mobile service fee?
It's $60 for a standard local visit to your home, garage or workplace in the San Diego area. Travel outside our normal area is quoted on the call, and we go up to about 100 miles for the right job.
Are parts included in the price?
No. Parts, oil, filters and supplies are charged on top of the labor prices. Oil change prices are labor only, and the final price depends on the make, model, year, oil capacity and access.
Is a mobile mechanic cheaper than taking the bike to a shop?
Compare the total, not only the hourly rate. With a mobile visit there's no tow, no trailer and no ride back to collect the bike, and it isn't parked at a shop for days. Our labor is $110 to $125 an hour; when you compare, ask the shop for its hourly rate and diagnostic fee and add what it costs to get the bike there and back.
What can a mobile mechanic fix at my home?
Oil changes and routine maintenance, tire changes, carburetor cleaning, brake fluid flushes, coolant service, chain adjustment, batteries and electrical faults, diagnostics on bikes that won't start, pre-purchase inspections, and dirt bikes, quads, ATVs and side-by-sides. We also work on cars. All of it is done where the bike is parked.
