Active UARK student repair discount
10% off repair labor when mobile repair is the right next step.
College car trouble is stressful enough. Active University of Arkansas students receive 10% off repair labor on approved mobile repairs.
The discount applies to repair labor only. Diagnostic services, parts, tax, travel fees, fluid/lab testing, and third-party costs are not discounted.
Simple pricing, no surprise shop fees
Inside our mapped primary service area, approved repair pricing is straightforward: parts + labor + tax.
No hidden service fees, admin fees, shop-supply fees, chemical fees, disposal fees, or mystery line items. The normal travel fee is waived inside the primary service area.
For parents
When your student calls and says the car will not start, you need clear answers.
When your student calls about a car that will not start, a check engine light, brake noise, or a vehicle that may not be safe to drive home, you need more than a random guess from a parking lot.
WrenchWiz Auto can come to the vehicle where practical, inspect the concern, and explain the next step in plain English. We can coordinate with the student on location and symptoms, then keep the parent in the loop before major repair decisions.
Common student-car problems
- No-start diagnostics for campus lots, apartments, and workplaces

- Check engine light and drivability diagnostics
- Brake noise, grinding, vibration, and safety inspections

Student car services
Mobile help for common student car problems.
These are the calls that tend to matter most for students and parents: safety, starting, warning lights, and whether the vehicle can be trusted for the next drive.
Check Engine Light
Codes are clues, not answers. We pair scan-tool data with testing to narrow down the real issue.
Brake & Safety Checks
Grinding, squealing, vibration, low pedal feel, or before a long drive home — we can inspect and explain what is urgent.
Pre-Trip Inspection
Good for holiday drives, summer move-out, first-year students, or any student about to drive home.
Used-Car Inspection
Buying a cheap campus car? A quick inspection can catch leaks, brake/suspension issues, warning lights, and obvious red flags.
Electrical Diagnostics
Charging issues, parasitic draws, wiring faults, sensors, and other electrical gremlins need testing, not guessing.
FAQ
Questions parents and students ask.
Do UARK students get a discount?
Yes. Active University of Arkansas students receive 10% off repair labor. The discount does not apply to diagnostic services, parts, tax, travel fees, fluid/lab testing, or third-party costs.

Can a parent pay or approve work from out of town?
We can keep the parent informed and explain findings before repair decisions. Payment and authorization details should be confirmed directly when scheduling.
Do you work in campus parking lots?
We can often help where mobile service is practical and permitted. Text the exact location, vehicle info, and concern so we can advise.
What if the car needs a shop or tow?
If the vehicle needs lift-only equipment, major teardown, or a repair that is not practical mobile, we will say so and help you understand the next step.
Is this only for University of Arkansas students?
No. WrenchWiz serves drivers across Northwest Arkansas, but this page is written for UARK students and families who need car help near Fayetteville.
