Mobile Mechanic in Jacksonville, NC

The most common calls we get in town are dead batteries, no-starts, brake noise, and check engine lights. Most of those are done in the driveway the same day. We also handle starters, alternators, belts, hoses, oil and fluid service, and trailer wiring and bearings for the contractors and boaters who live here.

Heat is the big factor on the coast. Long, humid summers are hard on batteries, cooling system hoses, and belts, and a lot of the failures we see in September and October started as heat damage in July. If your vehicle is due, it is worth having it looked at before it quits in a parking lot.

We work in residential driveways, apartment lots where the property allows it, and business parking lots. Many customers have us service their vehicle while they are at work, so they walk out at the end of the day to a car that is already fixed.

If your vehicle breaks down somewhere safe to work, such as a parking lot, we can often come to it there. If it is on a shoulder with traffic, the safest first step is usually a tow to a safe spot, and then we can finish the repair there.

Shops in town are busy, and drop-off usually means losing your vehicle for a day or more. For a family with one car, or a service member with a strict schedule, that is a real cost. A mobile visit takes that off the table for the repairs that can be done on site, which is most routine work.

Roadgun is veteran-owned and run by the mechanic who does the work. You talk to Travis on the phone and you see Travis in your driveway. There is no service writer, no upsell at the counter, and no one pushing work you do not need. If a job belongs in a shop, we tell you that too.

We work all over the city: Northwoods, Brynn Marr, Hunters Creek, Half Moon, Piney Green, and the neighborhoods off Gum Branch Road and Western Boulevard, plus the housing near MCAS New River. Because we are based in town, Jacksonville jobs are the easiest for us to fit in, and short-notice calls for dead batteries and no-starts are often handled the same day.

If you live in an apartment complex, check whether the property allows vehicle repairs in the lot. Most are fine with a battery swap or a brake job in a marked space. If yours is strict, we can meet you at your workplace or another nearby spot.
