Drop the car and the key in our slot any time after work. We diagnose it overnight, text you a price before we touch it, and have it ready when you wake up — at day-shop prices.

Most people can’t lose a day to the car. So we work the hours you don’t need it.

The night menu
What we fix while you sleep.
Most of what a car needs fits in one night. Every price is posted, every repair is approved by text first, and the labor rate is the same as any day shop in town.
Brakes
From $189 an axle · Ready by 7 AM
Pads and rotors measured before anything is sold, then fitted, bedded in and road-tested before sunrise.
Book online for a guaranteed bay and parts on the shelf, or simply pull in any time after 6 PM.
Seal the key
Park in a numbered space, fill in the envelope — name, number, what the car is doing — and slide it into the lit drop.
Approve by text
A technician diagnoses the car and texts photos and a written price before 11 PM. Nothing is touched until you reply YES.
Wake up to it ready
Road-tested before dawn, the invoice in your inbox, and the key in a coded lockbox from 6 AM.

Why people trust a shop at night
The fine print, in large print.
No after-hours surcharge
Our night rate is our only rate: $139 an hour, posted, the same as a day shop down the street.
Nothing without your yes
Every repair is priced by text with photos first. If you’re asleep, we only do what you have already approved.
Locked, lit and recorded
Cars come inside overnight, the lot is on camera, and keys go into a safe the moment they leave the drop.
24 months / 24,000 miles
Parts and labor on every repair, written on your invoice, whichever comes first.
A ride home on us
Drop after 9 PM and we cover up to $15 of your rideshare home. Just keep the receipt.
Your old parts, in the trunk
Everything we replace rides home with you in a labelled bag, so you can see what you paid for.

Prices for most cars and light trucks, before tax and parts that vary by model; your text estimate is the price you pay. Nothing is added without your yes.
Admit one car
Night Owl oil change
$59Sun–Tue drop-offs
Synthetic blend, filter and a multi-point check — ready by 7 AM.
We send every estimate before 11 PM. If you’re asleep, we only do what you have already approved and finish the rest the next night — we never guess.
Is my car safe overnight?
It’s parked inside a locked, lit and recorded building, and keys go into a safe the moment they come out of the drop.
Do you charge extra for night work?
No. $139 an hour, the same as a day shop. There is no after-hours fee, no rush fee and no fee for the texts.
What if it isn’t done by morning?
We tell you by 5 AM. If a part hasn’t arrived, we put the car back together safe to drive, or cover a rideshare and finish the next night.
Can I drop it on a Friday or Saturday?
Yes — the key drop never closes. Weekend cars are worked first thing Sunday night and ready Monday morning.
Do I have to book?
No, but booking holds a bay and lets us order parts before you arrive. Unbooked drop-offs are worked in the order they come in.
How do I pay?
By the secure link in your invoice text, before you collect the key — any card or a phone wallet. Nothing is charged until the work is done.

Drop it off tonight.
Tell us what the car needs and which night you’ll drop it. We text to confirm, send the estimate before 11 PM, and call before any work you haven’t approved.
