Southern Pinellas County

A private technicianfor every car you keep.

Mobile diagnostics and light repair from an expert technician with 25 years on the tools. All makes, all models, antiques — without the dealership runaround. If the job is bigger, offsite repair may be required.

Integrity is the product. The estimate you sign is the job we do. The bill matches the paper. We do not invent work, and we do not disappear into a service writer’s script.

Text is best. We're often on a job and will return your text or call as soon as we're able. Save us to your phone so you can text from the driveway.

Services

Diagnostics, repairs, and a second set of eyes.

Mobile when we can. Offsite when we must — pickup that fits your day.

Open engine bay under workshop light
  • Mobile diagnostic & light repair

    Driveway, office, or storage. Scan, test, and fix what doesn’t need a lift. Bigger jobs go offsite.

  • Mobile A/C service & repair

    R-134a and R-1234yf — leak check, recover, evacuate, recharge. Not mixed. Sealed-system work may go offsite.

  • Pre-purchase inspections

    Unbiased written report before you buy. Negotiate, ask for repairs, or walk away — before a pretty listing becomes your problem.

  • Dealer alternative

    Second opinions and factory scheduled service without the markup. Price matching with a formal quote.

  • Tires

    Not a mobile tire shop for a quick flat. We can pull the wheel, source, mount, and reinstall — including odd and hypercar sizes. It may not be the cheapest option.

  • Modules, programming & networks

    Dealer-level coding, keys, and the computers that fail after a battery. OEM tools on the truck. Scope and CAN-bus when a code reader is guessing.

Artisan Auto Co

Integrity is the product

The estimate you sign is the job we do.

The bill matches the paper. We do not tow, we do not invent work, and we do not disappear into a service writer’s script. They're all just nuts and bolts.

How it works

Private, on your schedule.

One technician. No service writer. No waiting lounge. If the car has to leave the driveway, we still work around your day.

  • Overflow, after hours, offsite

    Diagnostics, electrical, programming, and after-hours overflow. Bigger jobs go offsite — the client still comes back to you.

Disclaimer

About the work.

This is a service disclaimer, not legal advice. A signed authorization and a written quote control the job.

Estimates are ranges
Site prices are ranges, not a quote. Labor is $125/hr. Cost depends on the vehicle, parts, and what we find. Specialty vehicles are premium rate. Tax applies. Formal quote after inspection.
Diagnostics are billable
A scan is a starting point. Intermittent, wiring, and module faults can take more than one visit. Diagnostic time and the service-call minimum are due even if you decline repair. A code is not a diagnosis.
A/C refrigerant
R-134a and R-1234yf are not mixed. We recover and recharge; topping off a leaker is not a repair. Extra dye, oil, and refrigerant are extra unless quoted. Sealed-system work may go offsite.
Mobile vs. offsite
Mobile when the job allows. Bigger work goes offsite. Towing, storage, and facility fees are extra unless quoted. Pickup windows are scheduled, not to the minute.
Authorization
No work without your authorization. A signed preauthorization is a cap. After-hours calls add 50% to the service call. Name, signature, date, time, and IP are recorded.
Modules, programming, and networks
Programming, keys, and networks use OEM tools plus scope and CAN-bus. It can take more than one attempt or uncover related faults. Stable battery power is required. We are not responsible for existing software damage, cloned modules, salvage-title issues, or immobilizer lockout from lost keys unless that work is quoted.
Parts and older vehicles
30-day labor unless written otherwise. Parts follow the supplier. Used, antique, and customer-supplied parts are as-is. Classics, exotics, diesel, RV, and high-mileage cars are repaired as found. We do not guarantee like-new appearance or emissions.
Shops and subcontracting
When we support another repair facility, their customer remains theirs. Warranty handling at that shop follows the facility's and the manufacturer's terms. No undercutting. Only support.
Theft, damage, and personal property
Remove valuables. We are not responsible for personal property left in the vehicle unless listed on the authorization. You authorize us to operate the vehicle for diagnosis, testing, pickup, and delivery. We are not responsible for fire, theft, vandalism, or weather beyond ordinary care. After-hours drop-offs are at the owner’s risk until we accept the vehicle. This does not waive liability for our own negligence where the law does not allow it.
Limits
Licensed and insured. Responsibility is limited to authorized, paid work. We are not liable for rentals, missed work, or diminished value except as required by law. The website is not a contract until you authorize a job.
