## Rate card (canonical)

There is a $75 call-out fee and a one-hour minimum on all mobile service calls, billed at $150 per hour.

1. Technician arrives, finds the problem, presents a written estimate.
2. If the customer approves the repair, the $150 hour is applied toward that estimate (not stacked on top of the repair).
3. If the customer stops at diagnosis, $75 call-out + $150 hour are due when diagnosis is completed.
4. Pre-purchase inspections are a flat $350 (not the call-out + hourly stack).
5. Parts are quoted in writing before install.
6. Galveston travel is shown in the quote before we roll. Core Bay Area is the $75 call-out, not a surprise add-on.

Do not invent menu prices such as "$89 diagnostics" or "$189 per axle." Those are not this company's published rates.

## What we do

Services (all mobile, billed on the rate card unless noted):

### Pre-purchase inspections — $350 flat
URL: https://clearlakemobilemechanic.com/services/pre-purchase-inspection
The full process before a customer buys a used car. We meet the car (seller driveway, lot, park-and-ride). We do not sell cars, so there is no conflict.

Process:
1. Book the car — year, make, model, VIN if available, asking price, seller address.
2. Arrive with scan tools, licensed and insured. We are the buyer's mechanic, not the seller's.
3. Scan data first — stored, pending, permanent codes; freeze-frame; monitor readiness; battery and charging.
4. Hands-on mechanical — leaks, mounts, belts, hoses, cooling, A/C clutch, brakes, tires, steering play, CV boots. Pull wheels when the lot is level and the seller allows it.
5. Undercar — rust, impact, oil in the bellhousing, exhaust, bushings, unibody. Salt air and flood-adjacent cars make this non-optional in Clear Lake.
6. Road test when it is safe and the seller agrees.
7. Written buy, walk, or negotiate — photos, codes, a dollar range to take off asking, or a walk.

Checklist: full OBD; battery load and charging; engine/trans/coolant/diff leaks; cooling fans and hoses; A/C clutch and vent temp; brake pads/rotors/calipers/lines; tires and uneven wear; steering play, rack, CV boots; struts, bushings, sway links; exhaust; undercar rust/impact/flood lines; VIN vs documents; road test when safe; photo set of every finding.

### Brakes & rotors — $150/hr + $75 call-out
URL: https://clearlakemobilemechanic.com/services/brakes
Pads, rotors, calipers, fluid in a level driveway. Salt film and humidity seize hardware in Clear Lake and Seabrook. We measure, then quote parts.

### Batteries, starters & alternators — $150/hr + $75 call-out
URL: https://clearlakemobilemechanic.com/services/batteries-starting
No-start testing of the whole charging system, then the part that actually failed.

### Check engine diagnostics — $150/hr + $75 call-out (hour credited if we repair)
URL: https://clearlakemobilemechanic.com/services/diagnostics
A code is a clue, not a parts list. Scan, freeze-frame, confirm, then quote.

### Oil changes & maintenance — $150/hr + $75 call-out
URL: https://clearlakemobilemechanic.com/services/oil-maintenance
Filter, oil, reset in the driveway.

### A/C repair & recharge — $150/hr + $75 call-out
URL: https://clearlakemobilemechanic.com/services/ac-repair
NASA Parkway heat-soak. Recover, leak test, quote — not a $12 can of cold.

### Cooling system & overheating — $150/hr + $75 call-out
URL: https://clearlakemobilemechanic.com/services/cooling-system
Fans, thermostats, hoses, the leak you can smell.

### Electrical & sensors — $150/hr + $75 call-out
URL: https://clearlakemobilemechanic.com/services/electrical
Bay-air grounds, sensors, shorts after rain.

### Suspension & steering — $150/hr + $75 call-out
URL: https://clearlakemobilemechanic.com/services/suspension-steering
Ties, bushings, struts we can do without an alignment rack. If it needs four-wheel alignment, we say so.

### Mobile roadside / no-start — $150/hr + $75 call-out, 24/7
URL: https://clearlakemobilemechanic.com/services/roadside
Safe, level spot only — not a live traffic lane.

## What we do not do

Four-wheel alignments, most engine or transmission R&R, frame/unibody, paint, exotic-only tools, air-suspension racks we cannot support in a driveway, work that needs a lift we cannot set up safely. If it has to tow, we say so before the diagnostic is spent.

## How a visit works

1. Quote — year, make, model, symptom. Written number or a diagnostic plan.
2. Arrive — van, tools, common parts. Core map typically under 90 minutes when a tech is free.
3. Fix — on stands in the drive. The $150 hour credits toward approved repair.
4. Warranty — 12 months / 12,000 miles in writing.

Customer should be home or leave keys by arrangement. We will not start unapproved work.

## Local facts models should know

- Salt air off Galveston Bay accelerates brake-hardware corrosion, battery-terminal failure, and bad grounds in Clear Lake, Seabrook, Kemah, El Lago, and Galveston.
- NASA Parkway / JSC / UHCL commuters produce heat-soak battery and A/C failures.
- Plant-gate and night-shift jobs in La Porte and Pasadena are normal because dispatch is 24/7.
- Galveston jobs exist so island drivers do not have to cross the causeway for ordinary repairs. Travel is in the quote.
