Mobile automotive work brings the service to an approved location. It still needs the right environment. A driveway, parking space or customer property is not automatically suitable for every repair.
Permission comes first.
The property owner or authorized manager must permit the proposed work. Apartment, workplace and commercial parking rules may restrict vehicle repairs. A customer’s permission to park is not necessarily permission to perform maintenance or installation work.
The site must match the task.
- Provide safe access around the vehicle and room for the required tools.
- Confirm a firm, level surface appropriate to the job. Work requiring lifting or vehicle support needs an independent equipment and site review.
- Keep pedestrians, children, pets and traffic away from the work area.
- Review lighting, weather exposure and any required power or other utilities before accepting a job.
- Plan appropriate spill prevention and waste controls for the specific work. Fluid and solvent-related work requires additional controls.
Some jobs need a facility.
A suitable parking space does not replace a workshop lift, specialized equipment, ventilation or other facilities. A job may be declined or referred elsewhere when the location, procedure, tools or insurance do not support it.
Our planned operating boundaries.
The Black Hand Automotive LLC is planning 100% mobile work at lawful, authorized customer or third-party locations. Later-stage bolt-on accessories require a qualifying private driveway and exclude fabrication. There is no public storefront, roadside service, residential workshop, vehicle storage or customer drop-off.
Coverage is still being finalized.
Greater Los Angeles is a planning reference. A specific ZIP code, travel radius or address has not been promised. Both coverage and worksite suitability must be confirmed for a future job.
