What We Do

Rivian Services & Outcomes.

Every service below states exactly what you walk away with.

Rivian EV Diagnostics

Service messages, air-suspension faults, charging problems, drive-unit or quad-motor concerns, and electrical gremlins on R1T and R1S — diagnosed on site.

What you get

  • A clear explanation of the root cause, not just the code
  • Written findings covering affected systems and severity
  • Guidance on what's mobile-repairable vs. Rivian-service-center work
  • Honest triage so you're not waiting weeks to learn nothing

Rivian Pre-Purchase Inspection

Used R1T or R1S from a dealer, marketplace or private seller? Have it inspected by someone who worked on these trucks professionally before you commit.

What you get

  • Battery pack and charging health assessment
  • Air suspension, brakes, tires and undercarriage inspection
  • Electrical, software and stored-fault review
  • Body, glass, tonneau/gear-tunnel and interior condition notes
  • A go / negotiate / walk-away recommendation

Rivian Repair & Maintenance

Brake service, suspension components, 12V battery, filters, fluids and common wear items — handled mobile whenever the job allows.

What you get

  • Master-Technician-level workmanship on Rivian-specific systems
  • No multi-week service appointment or long tow
  • Clear pricing scope confirmed before any work begins

Rivian Second Opinion

Big estimate, long lead time, or a diagnosis that doesn't add up? Get an independent expert read first.

What you get

  • Independent verification of the diagnosis
  • Confirmation of whether the quoted work is necessary
  • A realistic sense of urgency and cost

Common Rivian Problems

What Minnesota Rivian owners call about.

These are the issues we see most often across the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota. Recognize yours? Send it over with one click and it carries into the inquiry form.

Air suspension faults or the truck sitting unevenly

Compressor, height-sensor and valve-block issues all trigger similar messages on R1T and R1S. Many can be diagnosed and some repaired on site.

Charging problems at home or on the road

Charge port, connector, onboard charger and home-circuit faults are separated by testing rather than guesswork.

Send this inquiry

12V battery drain or a truck that won't come alive

Low-voltage failures strand more Rivians than drivetrain faults do, and they're well suited to a mobile visit.

Service messages or stored faults you can't interpret

You get the root cause in plain English, not just a code read off a scanner.

Send this inquiry

Brake service, rotors and winter corrosion

Heavy trucks plus regenerative braking plus Minnesota road salt is hard on brake hardware. Service is performed where the truck is parked.

Send this inquiry

Drive-unit or quad-motor noise and vibration

Noise complaints get diagnosed before parts are ordered, including guidance on what belongs at a Rivian service center.

Why Independent Mobile

Why Rivian owners choose us.

Dealer-level training, independent pricing

The same diagnostic approach used inside the manufacturer's own service network, without the service-center overhead or the multi-week wait for an appointment slot.

Your driveway is the service bay

No tow, no loaner shuffle, no half a day in a waiting room. Most diagnostics and a large share of repairs happen exactly where the vehicle is parked.

Nothing is scheduled before you agree

Every inquiry is reviewed personally. Scope, expectations, any travel fee, and the visit window are confirmed with you on a phone consultation first.
