How it works

Three steps. No runaround.

From "I think something's wrong" to "she runs perfect." Most jobs quoted same-day.

01

Send a pic

Text me a photo of the vehicle and a quick rundown. Year, make, model, what's going on. That's it.

02

Get a flat quote

I reply with a price within hours — usually minutes. No mystery fees. Big jobs (paint, rebuilds) get a written estimate before any work starts.

03

Drop off or I come to you

$120/hr in shop. $150/hr mobile, within ~50 miles of Buckley. Pickup and delivery on full builds available.

What I do

Anything automotive or powersports

If it's got a motor, I can fix, build, or make it look better than it did off the showroom floor.

Custom Paint & Body

Full repaints, candy & flake, panel replacement, dent repair. Booth-quality work, photos at every stage.

Full Rebuilds

Frame-up restorations, engine swaps, project builds. Bring me the dream — I bring it back to life.

Sound Systems

Custom audio installs, head units, subs, amps. Cars, trucks, boats — built to hit clean and loud.

Cut & Polish

Paint correction, swirl removal, ceramic-ready finish on cars, boats, anything with clearcoat.

Mechanical Fixes

Diagnostics, repairs, performance tuning. Cars, bikes, marine — same toolbox, no half-ass jobs.

Dirt Bike Service

Top-end rebuilds, suspension, jetting, full tune-ups. Bring it back race-ready.

Boat De-Winterize

Full spring service — fluids, impeller, fuel, electrical. Mobile to your marina or driveway.

Jet Ski Service

De-winterizing, impellers, oil, electrical. Pulling hard all season — without the dealer markup.

About Gav

The underdog who outworks them all.

"Why should I hire you instead of the shop with 20+ years experience?"

I know I'm new but I am actively trying to make something of myself. I WILL work harder than anyone else. I will guarantee quality results. To the companies with 20+ years of experience, you are just another name in their book — they are NOT scared to upset you.

You will be one of my very first customers and it is important to me that I provide you with quality results — for you and for me. I AM and WILL BE the hardest worker you will meet. I'll make sure the job is done right for my reputation, and you need it done right because this is your investment.

Quick answers

Stuff people always ask.

How much will my job cost?
Service work runs $120/hr in shop or $150/hr mobile. Big jobs (paint, body, rebuilds, full audio installs) get a flat quote before any work starts — never an open-ended hourly bill. Send me a pic and I'll text you a real number, usually within minutes.
How long will it take?
Tune-ups, de-winterizing, oil services: same day to 24 hours. Body work and paint jobs: typically 3-10 days depending on prep and color. Full rebuilds: ranges by scope — you'll get a clear timeline in writing before I touch a wrench.
Can you come to me?
Yes. Mobile mechanic service available within ~50 miles of Buckley, WA — driveway, marina, jobsite, trailhead, wherever your ride lives. Mobile rate is $150/hr. Travel beyond 50 miles? Just ask.
Do you do paint correction or full repaints?
Both. Cut and polish for swirls and oxidation, panel work for scratches and dents, and full custom paint on cars, bikes, boats, helmets — single-stage, two-stage, candy, flake. Every paint job comes with photos at each stage so you see the work being done.
Why hire a new shop instead of the established place?
Because at the big shop you're a ticket number. Here you're talking to the guy doing the work — every text, every quote, every wrench turn. Reputation is everything when you're new, so I treat your job like my own. You'll see the difference in the finish.
