Brakes & rotors
Grinding, a soft pedal, or a pull to one side. Pads and rotors swapped in the driveway, usually inside two hours. We bed the pads in on a short test loop before we hand back the keys.
From $210 per axle

Glen's Mobile Auto Repair
Twenty-two years under the hood, now in your driveway. We come to you — home, office, or the parking lot on Highway 6 — with the tools, the parts, and the scanner already in the van.

What we do
Repairs done in your driveway, not in a waiting room
Most jobs are finished the same visit. Every price below is a typical range for a Houston-area vehicle — Glen confirms the number on the phone before he loads the van, and it doesn't move unless he finds something you didn't know about.
Check-engine diagnostics
A free parts-store scan tells you a code. We tell you what the code means on your car — live sensor data, a road test, and a written explanation of what actually needs replacing and what can wait.
$95, credited toward the repair
Starters, alternators & batteries
Click and nothing, or a dash that dims every time you turn the key. We test the charging system properly — battery, alternator, and the grounds in between — instead of selling you a battery you didn't need.
From $180 plus parts
Tune-ups & scheduled maintenance
The 60k, 90k, and 120k services your manual asks for. Spark plugs and coils, cabin and engine air filters, serpentine belts, coolant and transmission fluid. Done in your driveway on a Saturday morning.
From $240, parts included
Pre-purchase inspections
Buying used anywhere in west Houston? Glen meets you at the seller's address, puts the car on ramps, and gives you a straight yes / no / here's-what-it-needs before money changes hands.
$125 flat
Cooling systems & A/C
Houston summer is hard on a cooling system. Overheating, a sweet smell, a puddle under the front bumper, or an A/C that blows warm by 2 PM — all of it gets looked at the same day you call.

How a call-out works
Three steps, no tow truck
-
01
Call and describe it
Tell Glen the year, make, and model, plus what the car is doing. He'll ask a few questions, give you a price range on the spot, and tell you honestly if it's something that needs a lift and a shop instead.
-
02
Pick a window
Same-day slots most weekdays if you call before noon. He'll text when he's on the way. You don't need to be standing outside — a driveway, a covered garage, or a parking space with a little room on one side is all he needs.
-
03
Pay when it's fixed
Card, cash, or Zelle once the job is done and you've seen it run. Parts are itemized on the receipt. If the diagnosis turns up something bigger, you get the number before any work starts — no surprises.
We work on most domestic and import cars, light trucks, and SUVs. We don't do bodywork, tires, alignments, or transmission rebuilds — for those we'll point you to a shop we trust on Clay Road.
Where we drive
West Houston, Katy, and the Energy Corridor
Glen's van runs out of the Addicks Satsuma shop and covers roughly a fifteen-mile radius. If you're inside the loop or out past Katy Mills, call anyway — he'll tell you straight whether the drive makes sense for the job.

Fleet or multi-vehicle work? Glen handles small commercial fleets — work trucks, vans, and delivery vehicles — on a standing schedule. Ask about it on the phone.
Hours & address
Call first — that's the whole system
There's no booking form here and no online scheduler. Glen answers the phone himself between jobs, and a two-minute call gets you a real answer faster than any form would.
Call or text
If it rings out, he's under a hood. Leave a message with your year, make, model, and the cross streets — he calls back the same day.

Shop address
5023 Addicks Satsuma Rd Ste rHouston, TX 77084
Between Highway 6 and Eldridge, just north of the Addicks reservoir. The unit is at the back of the row — look for the white van with the ladder rack.
From the neighborhood
Called at nine in the morning about a brake noise, he was in my driveway by one, and I was driving again by three. He showed me the old pads before he threw them out.
— Marisol R., Copperfield
My truck wouldn't start in the H-E-B parking lot on Highway 6. Glen came out, tested the whole charging system, and it was a ground strap — not the alternator the dealer wanted to sell me.
— Dwight P., Katy
He talked me out of a repair I didn't need. That's why I've sent him three neighbors since.
— Anh T., Energy Corridor
