When your check engine light comes on or your vehicle suddenly starts running poorly, you don't always need a tow truck—you need an experienced mobile mechanic who can accurately diagnose the problem. At Wrenches & Rags, we provide professional mobile diagnostic services throughout Boise and the Treasure Valley, bringing dealership-quality troubleshooting directly to your home, workplace, or roadside location.
Our goal is simple: identify the root cause of the problem so you don't waste money replacing parts that aren't actually broken.
Our tagline says it best:
Wrenches & Rags – Where Our Waiting Room Is Your Living Room.
Modern vehicles rely on dozens of computers and hundreds of sensors. A warning light doesn't always tell you what's wrong—it simply tells you that your vehicle has detected a problem.
Our mobile diagnostic service helps determine the actual cause before any repairs begin.
We diagnose:
- Check Engine Light
- No-start conditions
- Hard starting
- Engine misfires
- Rough idle
- Poor fuel economy
- Loss of power
- Charging system issues
- Battery drain problems
- Starting system failures
- Electrical problems
- Cooling system concerns
- Sensor failures
- Transmission warning lights
- ABS warning lights
- Airbag warning lights
- Electronic throttle issues
Many auto parts stores will scan your vehicle for free—but a code reader only displays where the computer noticed a problem.
It doesn't identify why.
At Wrenches & Rags, we go beyond simply reading diagnostic trouble codes. We perform professional troubleshooting that may include:
- Professional scan tool analysis
- Live sensor data monitoring
- Charging system testing
- Battery testing
- Starter testing
- Alternator testing
- Electrical circuit testing
- Visual inspections
- Component testing
- Verification of the failed part before recommending repairs
Our experience helps prevent unnecessary repairs and costly guesswork.
We diagnose most domestic and imported vehicles, including:
- Ford
- Chevrolet
- GMC
- Dodge
- RAM
- Chrysler
- Jeep
- Toyota
- Honda
- Nissan
- Subaru
- Hyundai
- Kia
- Mazda
- Volkswagen
Whether your vehicle is in your driveway, office parking lot, or stranded on the roadside, we'll come to you whenever possible.
Call us if your vehicle is experiencing:
- Engine cranks but won't start
- Vehicle stalls unexpectedly
- Strange engine noises
- Intermittent starting problems
The sooner the problem is diagnosed, the less likely it becomes a more expensive repair.
Once we've completed the diagnosis, we'll explain:
- What failed
- Why it failed
- Whether it's safe to drive
- Repair options
- Estimated repair time
- Upfront labor costs
We'll never recommend replacing parts that aren't needed.
Our goal is to help you make an informed decision about your vehicle.
