That is not the same thing.
Of the 20 businesses listed in Boise, there are 15 that will come to you and 8 with a workshop you drive to.

Getting a Car Fixed in Boise
Independent shops in Idaho usually charge $90 to $125 an hour for labor, which is below the national average. A quote is the book time for the job times that rate, plus parts. At Idaho rates, a serpentine belt replacement runs about $75 to $240 and an alternator replacement runs about $270 to $760 for a midsize car.
Of the 18 Boise listings that post their hours, 14 open on Saturday and 10 on Sunday. 11 open before 8 AM on weekdays, which helps if you need to drop the car off before work.
15 businesses in Boise have at least 15 reviews, enough for a rating to mean something, and 11 of those hold 4.5 stars or better. Half of them have 56 or more reviews. A shop with a long history and a 4.6 is a safer call than a perfect 5.0 from a handful of people.
For work a general shop may turn away, Boise has 2 RV and trailer shops and 2 heavy duty and fleet shops. Call ahead with the year, make and model so you do not waste a trip.
Idaho does not require a periodic safety inspection for passenger cars. Emissions testing in the Treasure Valley ended July 1, 2023. A vehicle coming from another state or never titled in Idaho needs a VIN inspection before titling. Details are on the Idaho Transportation Department, Division of Motor Vehicles site.
Owning a Car in Boise
Summers here bring about 55 days at 90°F or hotter. That is enough to finish off a tired battery or a weak AC compressor, so get both checked in spring rather than on the first hot day.
Lows drop to freezing on about 108 nights a year. Cold is when a weak battery finally fails, because a cold engine takes more power to turn over. Boise averages 18 inches of snow, and road salt eats brake lines, exhaust and the underside of the car. Rinse the underbody through the winter and have the brake lines looked at whenever the car is up on a lift.
Only about 12 inches of rain fall in a year, so it is sun, not water, that ages a car here. Rubber parts, wiper blades and dashboards crack sooner.

Pre-Purchase Inspections in Boise
Buying a used car in Boise? PPI Auto, our sister company, sends an inspector to the car for $225 on most cars, pickups and SUVs. That is a 122 point check with a full scan and a road test, and the report comes back the same day. Dealer lot, private seller or auction, it works the same.
There are 153 car lots within 8 miles of Boise, and 134 of them sell used. PPI Auto grades 104 of them A to F from their reviews, and 5 get an F. See the Boise dealer grades before you go look at a car.
Idaho has no regular safety or emissions inspection, so unless the last owner paid for one, nobody has looked under that car.
Questions About Auto Repair in Boise

Auto Tec Connect LLC currently holds the highest rating in Boise at 5.0 stars from 189 reviews.

Are there mobile mechanics in Boise?
Yes. 15 of the businesses we list in Boise will travel to you rather than making you bring the car in. That covers most servicing, brakes, batteries, diagnostics and plenty of repairs that do not need a lift.

Independent shops in Idaho usually bill $90 to $125 an hour for labor. The national range is $95 to $140. Dealers charge more. Most quotes are the book time for the job times that rate, plus parts, so ask the shop how many hours it is billing you for.

Idaho does not require a periodic safety inspection for passenger cars. Emissions testing in the Treasure Valley ended July 1, 2023. A vehicle coming from another state or never titled in Idaho needs a VIN inspection before titling.
Are any mechanics in Boise open on Sunday?
Yes. 10 of the businesses we list in Boise show Sunday hours, including Oh Kei Mobile Mechanic, Explore Mobile Rv Repair And Service and Rhino Mobile Mechanics of Boise. Call first, because Sunday hours are often short and some only take emergencies.
How do I know a shop in Boise is trustworthy?
Look at the review count as well as the stars, because five stars from four people tells you very little. None of the 20 listings in Boise has been claimed yet, so call to confirm hours and what the shop works on. Get the quote in writing before any work starts.
Does it cost more to use a mobile mechanic in Boise?
Usually not. 15 of the businesses in Boise come to you, and with no building to pay for, they often charge a bit less than a shop. What they cannot do in a driveway is work that needs a lift or a press, so heavy jobs still go to a shop.
How does winter in Boise affect my car?
Boise gets about 108 nights a year at or below freezing and 18 inches of snow. Cold exposes a weak battery, and salted roads rust brake lines and exhaust parts. Test the battery in the fall and rinse the underbody in winter.
Can I get a pre-purchase inspection in Boise?
Yes. PPI Auto, our sister company, inspects used cars in Boise for $225 on most cars, pickups and SUVs. The inspector comes to the car, runs a 122 point check and sends the report the same day. Call 951-267-8500 to book.
How do I check a mechanic's license in Boise?
Ask the shop for any state or city license it holds and get the estimate in writing before work starts. None of the 20 listings in Boise has given us a license number yet. Rules differ by state, so check with Idaho's consumer protection office if a shop's answer sounds wrong.
Why do some Boise listings have photos and others do not?
3 of the 20 listings in Boise show a photo or logo. They come from the owner, from the business's own website, or from our own jobs for Supercanic locations. We never put a stock or AI photo on someone else's business. Owners can claim their listing free and add their own.
