We work on
What we do
Everything a shop does,
without the shop
We are not a chain and we do not have a waiting room with a coffee machine. We are a truck full of tools based in Garnett, and the same person who answers the phone is the one who turns the wrench.
On site
Mobile repairs
Brakes, starters, alternators, belts, hoses and suspension — fixed where the vehicle sits.
Scheduled
Maintenance
Oil changes, tune-ups, fluids and the mileage services your owner’s manual calls for.
Check engine
Diagnostics
Codes read, live data checked and the real cause found before any part is replaced.
Stranded
Won’t start
Click, crank or nothing at all — we come to the car and get it running where it is.
Before you buy
Pre-purchase inspection
We meet you at the seller’s and go over the vehicle before the money changes hands.
Work trucks
Fleet & farm
Service trucks, vans and farm pickups kept on the road with visits to the yard.
The work
Your driveway
is the shop
At Boothes Mobile Mechanics we know the vehicle is how you get to work, get the kids around and get the feed hauled. Our mechanic works on all makes and models — from a battery and an oil change to brakes, starters, alternators and front-end work — with proper tools, right where it is parked.
You get a clear word on what is wrong, what it costs and what can wait. Not a line more than that.
- A quote before any work starts
- Parts brought along — most jobs done in one visit
- All makes and models — cars, pickups, SUVs and vans
Why mobile
The shop comes
to the vehicle
Boothes Mobile Mechanics is a truck full of tools, not a building with a waiting room. Brakes, batteries, belts, no-starts, diagnostics and maintenance get done where the vehicle already sits — in Garnett and the counties around it.
- No tow truck, no ride to arrange
- You see the work
- A quote before a wrench turns

Not on the list? Tell us where the vehicle is. If it is within about 40 miles we can usually make it work, and we will say so before you plan around it.

Diagnostics
A code is a clue,
not a diagnosis
The parts store can read a code. What it cannot tell you is why the code set. We read the codes with a professional scan tool, look at the live data and test the likely causes — before anything gets replaced.
Check engine lights, electrical gremlins, misfires, the problem that only happens when it is cold. Describe it and we go looking with the right test.
- Professional scan tool, not a parts-store reader
- Live data and real tests, not guesswork
- A plain-English explanation and a quote
Fleet & farm
Downtime is
the expensive part
A work truck in a shop is a truck that is not working. We come to the yard before the day starts or after it ends, do the brakes, batteries, belts, fluids and the inevitable no-start, and the truck is back on the job without a trip to town.
Set up a regular round for a group of vehicles and the small problems never get a chance to become big ones.
- Service at the yard, the farm or the job site
- Scheduled maintenance rounds for several vehicles
- Straight notes on what was done and what is coming
Quick help
The three calls
we get most
Check engine light on?
Steady means book it this week. Flashing means ease off and stop driving it. Either way, we read it properly and tell you what it actually is.

Car won’t start?
Don’t call the tow truck yet. Battery, connections, starter, fuel, spark — we come to the car and most no-starts are fixed the same visit.

Buying a used car?
We meet you at the seller’s, scan it, go over it top to bottom and tell you what it needs now, what it will need soon and what to negotiate on.

Check engine light on? What it means and what to do first
A check engine light is a clue, not a diagnosis. Here is how to tell a “pull over now” light from a “book it this week” light, and what to tell the mechanic.
Brakes · 3 min read
Five signs your brakes need attention before winter
Brakes rarely fail without warning. They squeal, grind, pull and shudder first. Here is what each one means and how urgent it is.
