Tipp City's Auto Repair Shop on Wheels
When your car won't start in the driveway, the brakes start grinding on your way down Main Street, or the A/C quits on I-75 in the middle of an Ohio July, the last thing you want is to arrange a tow and burn a day in a waiting room. The Car Medic brings the repair shop to you.
We're a locally owned shop based in neighboring Troy, just a few miles up the road — not a franchise dispatching from Dayton or Columbus. When you call, you talk directly to John Rankin, the ASE-certified technician who will actually be working on your vehicle. Our fully equipped service van handles most repairs on the spot, whether you're parked at home, at your apartment complex, or at work anywhere in Tipp City.
Because we don't carry the overhead of a traditional garage, you get honest, upfront pricing on quality parts — and every repair is backed by our 12-month / 12,000-mile parts and labor warranty.

Tipp City Mobile Mechanic FAQs
Everything Tipp City drivers ask before booking The Car Medic.
Is there a mobile mechanic in Tipp City, OH that comes to my house?
Yes. The Car Medic brings a fully equipped service van to your driveway, apartment lot, or workplace anywhere in Tipp City. As long as the vehicle is parked in a safe, relatively flat spot, we can do the repair on site. No tow, no waiting room.
Where is The Car Medic located, and how far is it from Tipp City?
We're based in Troy, just a few miles north of Tipp City up I-75 and County Road 25-A. Tipp City is well inside our 20-mile service radius, so travel time is short and we're in town regularly.
What parts of Tipp City do you serve?
All of Tipp City, including the historic downtown along Main Street, neighborhoods on both sides of I-75 and State Route 571, and homes and businesses throughout Monroe Township. We also cover nearby Ginghamsburg, West Milton, Vandalia, Huber Heights and Troy.
Can I get same-day auto repair in Tipp City?
Often, yes. We offer same-day service for calls received before noon, subject to availability. Most Tipp City appointments are scheduled within 24 to 48 hours, so calling or texting ahead is the best way to get on the schedule.
How much does a mobile mechanic cost in Tipp City, OH?
Every job starts with a free, upfront quote for your exact vehicle, so you know the price before any work begins, with no hidden fees. Because we don't pay rent on a traditional shop, our overhead is lower and those savings are passed on to you. Call or text 937-609-3554 with your year, make, model and the problem.
What car repairs can you do in my driveway?
Most common repairs: brakes, batteries and jump starts, alternators, engine diagnostics and check engine lights, A/C and heating repair, cooling system work, tune-ups, filters, serpentine and timing belts, CV axles, steering and suspension, many engine repairs, and pre-purchase inspections. For major repairs we offer pickup and delivery from our offsite repair facility.
What happens if it rains or snows on my appointment day?
In unsafe weather, or for bigger jobs, we offer pickup and delivery. We collect your vehicle in Tipp City, complete the work at our offsite repair facility, and return it to you, with the same honest, upfront pricing.
Do you offer a warranty on repairs?
Yes. All work is backed by a 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty on the parts we supply and the labor we perform.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express through a secure mobile card reader, as well as cash, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Payment is due when the job is complete.
Can I supply my own parts?
Generally, no. We use parts from trusted manufacturers that meet or exceed original equipment standards so we can stand behind the repair and the warranty. We can't verify the quality or authenticity of parts bought online or from third-party sellers.
Do you service business fleets in Tipp City?
Yes. We provide mobile fleet maintenance for Tipp City and Miami County businesses, servicing vehicles at your lot so your drivers stay on the road instead of sitting at a shop.
Can you inspect a used car before I buy it in Tipp City?
Yes. We perform pre-purchase inspections at the seller's location, whether that's a private seller's driveway or a local lot, so you get an honest second opinion before you pay.
