Home: best when the vehicle needs to sit while you figure out a plan, or when the repair will be DIY. Make sure you have legal parking.
Shop: best when you already know what's wrong and have a trusted mechanic. Most shops accept after-hours drops — confirm with the shop first.
Dealer: required for warranty work, factory recalls, EV battery service, and anything that needs proprietary diagnostic tools. Same $249 / hour rate to any destination, hours quoted based on route.
