L & K Mobile Auto Repair started with a simple belief: people deserve honest, dependable automotive service, and getting their vehicle repaired shouldn’t be harder than it needs to be. We’ve seen how a broken-down vehicle can affect someone’s ability to get to work, take care of their family, or keep up with everyday life. That’s why we bring our services directly to customers—at home, at work, or wherever repairs can be performed safely.
Since opening in March 2025, we’ve grown through hard work, customer recommendations, and community support. Today, we serve individual customers, have several fleet accounts, and work with Work N Wheels in the Winnebago area. We’re growing quickly, and we’re looking for someone who wants to help us build on that progress without losing the personal service that got us here.
You’ll work alongside someone who knows the trade. Our owner, Forrest, brings more than 20 years of automotive experience, including work with Firestone and dealerships. Sharing knowledge and helping others develop their skills matters to us. We value what you already know, and we also value someone who asks questions and is honest about where they need support.
You won’t be expected to figure out our process alone. We’ll show you how to complete work orders, prepare customer quotes, and document repairs before you handle service calls…
