DIY Mechanix is a remote mechanical consulting service. We help you understand what is happening, what to test next, what parts or tools may be needed, and when an in-person repair or tow is the better move.
Connect by phone or video and show the vehicle, scan tool, repair area, noises, leaks or warning lights.
Work through symptoms, trouble codes, test results and likely causes instead of throwing parts at the problem.
Get step-by-step guidance while you perform a repair you are equipped and comfortable to handle.
Review a shop estimate, diagnosis or parts recommendation before authorizing expensive work.
Get help identifying parts, tools, test equipment and more cost-effective sourcing options.
Selected used automotive and truck parts may be available. We can also help identify what you should be searching for.
Gas, diesel, hybrid and everyday passenger-vehicle troubleshooting and repair guidance.
Box trucks, medium-duty trucks, semis and many common commercial diesel systems.
Ongoing mechanical consulting for owner-operators and businesses managing multiple vehicles.
Whether you need help with one vehicle, want to learn the trade, or want to build a mobile mechanic business, start here.
Select 30, 60 or 90 minutes and pay online before scheduling.
Connect live. Have your vehicle, codes, tools, photos, estimate or parts available when possible.
Get Your Next Move We'll work through the problem and help you build a practical diagnostic or repair plan.
Add a 30–60 second video here of you explaining the service in your own words: what customers should have ready, how the call works, and how you help them make a smarter next move.
Have as much of this ready as possible before your appointment.
Consulting time only. Physical repairs, parts, towing and outside services are separate.
Best for one focused problem, a second opinion or initial diagnosis.
More time for deeper troubleshooting or live repair coaching.
For complex diagnostics, involved repairs or extended support.
Use these focused services when you need a quick answer, a second set of eyes, or help deciding your safest next move.
Best for one focused question that may not require a full live diagnostic session.
Upload a repair estimate, shop diagnosis or parts list and get an independent review before you authorize the work.
We review the symptoms and information you provide and help determine the next appropriate step: inspect, stop, tow or schedule service.
Driveability guidance is not a safety certification. Remote consulting cannot verify every condition, and safety-critical concerns may require immediate towing or an in-person inspection.

When possible, have the vehicle accessible, your year/make/model/engine information, trouble codes, scan-tool data, repair history, photos or video, and any estimate or parts related to the problem.
