What I do
On-site auto repair, done right
I bring the tools and the diagnosis to wherever your car is parked — from everyday commuters to performance cars like Audi RS, Mercedes-AMG, BMW M, and Dodge SRT.
Batteries & electrical
Battery testing and replacement, alternators, starters, and electrical-system repair — including batteries buried deep in the engine bay.
Diagnostics & check engine
General diagnosis, check-engine lights, no-starts, and noise or vibration issues. I diagnose properly instead of guessing, then explain what I find.
Pre-purchase inspections
Buying a used car? I meet you at the car and inspect it carefully so you know what you’re buying before you buy it.
Suspension & steering
Steering and suspension repair, from worn parts to lowering springs on a Charger widebody Scat Pack.
Oil & maintenance
Oil changes, fluids and filters, tire rotation, wiper replacement, fuel-system cleaning, and routine maintenance on your schedule.
Lights, mirrors & windows
Headlight assembly replacement, side mirror repair and replacement, and window regulator replacement.
Engine & cooling
Engine repair, thermostats, coolant leaks, and radiator replacement, plus oil-leak tracing and transmission leak inspection.

About Joey
Honest work, explained clearly
Hi, my name is Joey, and I started Elite Roadside Mechanic about a year ago with the goal of making car repairs easier, more honest, and more convenient for people in Orange County.
I’m currently in college studying Automotive Engineering and have been working on cars for over 3 years. I’ve worked on everything from high-end performance cars to everyday daily drivers — Audi RS, Mercedes-AMG, BMW M, Corvette Z06, and Hellcat, right alongside commuters and work trucks.
I take pride in being upfront about what a vehicle needs, explaining the work clearly, and treating every customer’s car like it were my own.

He came out to me, got the job done right, and made the whole process easy. I really appreciate the quality of his work and would definitely recommend Joe to anyone looking for a trustworthy mechanic. I’ll definitely be calling him.”
Yelp review“THE BEST!!!! We are very particular about our cars. Joey provided responsive, professional, hassle-free mechanical service at our doorstep. My Lexus ES350 had a dead battery... Joey came to our garage, did the diagnostic confirmation and promptly installed a new battery.”
Yelp review“Fast reply to my service needs. Identified the vehicle and provided price quote that is totally acceptable. Joey arrived exactly on time. Did a truck wheel rotation, oil change. Located alert tire light origin. Highly recommend. Extremely professional and quick.”
“Joey is INCREDIBLE!!! I bought an old, used Toyota Camry 2006 and was noticing wear down on the rear brakes and a slew of other issues. He offered to check it out free of charge within five minutes of inquiry, came straight to my place, and offered me the most reasonable quote to get the rear brakes and my oil changed. Super down to earth, easy to work with…”
Yelp review“He took the time to explain the issue with my vehicle in a way I could understand and never tried to upsell me on unnecessary repairs.”
Yelp review“Joey is the best person and mechanic around ! Shows up as promised and on time and is a true professional. Highly recommend ! Very convenient because he comes to you and charges less than most repair shops.”
Yelp review“He was able to find the source of an oil leak on one car and fix the check engine light issue on my car... took the time to properly diagnose the problems instead of just guessing.”
Yelp review“My Pontiac solstice needed a new battery but it’s a pain because it’s deep in the engine bay and you have to remove a side body panel to get in. He did this without any damage and was pretty quick about it.”
Yelp review“Joey did an amazing job on my boyfriend’s Hellcat Redeye! He replaced the front brake pads, rotors, and radiator.”
Yelp review“He arrived early, was extremely thorough, and took the time to inspect everything carefully without rushing through any part of the process.”
Yelp review“Had my car battery die on me after lunch, and Joey made it out to me a couple of hours after reaching out to him. Diagnosis and replacement all done within an hour.”
Yelp review“Joey did a fantastic job on my 4runner! He completed both the oil change and front and rear brake pad replacements efficiently and right on time.”
Yelp review“I needed my side mirror replaced and he got the correct part within a few days, came to me to replace it, and charged a very fair price!”
Yelp review“I initially reached out for just a oil change and then my problem turned into a busted thermostat and coolant issue thank you for taking care of both the same day!”
“Amazing work.”
