Never just the job.
Mobile automotive, design-first home repair, and pre-sale inspections in West Metro Minneapolis. Written estimates with work that's backed.
Ember is built differently. Written estimates, qualified technicians, documented job history, and warranted labor — for your car and your home.
Most automotive service means driving somewhere, waiting, and hoping the work holds. Ember brings qualified technicians to your home — with a written estimate before any work starts and a warranty on everything they do.
Oil changes, brake service, battery replacement, OBD diagnostic scan with written report, pre-purchase inspection. Parts at cost + 18%, itemized on every invoice with receipts.
Ember handles conventional mechanical and electrical automotive systems. Work requiring A/C refrigerant handling or manufacturer-locked diagnostics will be clearly identified and referred to the appropriate licensed specialist.
Identifying the real problem, sequencing the work correctly, delivering a result that holds.
Most renovation mistakes happen because work gets done in the wrong order. Ember brings sequencing intelligence to every job — assessing what needs to happen, in what order, before anything is touched. Then gets it done.
Most design consultations end with a mood board and a list of things to figure out. Ember delivers a written action plan with specific products, trade sequencing, and budget guidance — and can execute the work. Awkward spaces and non-standard solutions are the specialty.
Pre-sale walkthroughs, TISH evaluation prep, and move-in/out condition documentation — with written reports, timestamped photos, and the operational expertise to scope what's found.
Five things that are true on every Ember job, regardless of service type or scope.
No work starts without your approval of a written estimate. No surprises. No "I'll figure it out when I get there."
Trade sequencing, diagnostic order, root cause first. Ember identifies the full picture before touching anything — for cars, for home, for inspections.
Every job is backed by a workmanship warranty. If something doesn't hold, Ember comes back and makes it right — no charge for confirmed warranty items.
Every Ember technician and contractor works to the same documented standards. The Ember name on the invoice means the same thing regardless of who shows up.
Every job logged in Jobber. When you call back in six months, Ember knows exactly what was done, what was used, and what the warranty covers.
Call or text. Describe the job. You'll hear back the same day.
Before anything is scheduled. Complex jobs may need an initial assessment first.
Cleaned up when done. Scope changes approved before work continues.
All labor is warranted. Ember returns at no charge for confirmed workmanship issues.
Per-door pricing for property portfolios. One-time engagements for small landlords. Operational consulting at emberhomeauto.com/operations.
Per-door pricing month-to-month. Minimum 3 doors. 30 days notice to adjust scope. No hidden fees.
Ember was founded by Natasha Cramer, a trained automotive technician and service operations manager who spent over a decade diagnosing problems — in vehicles, in homes, and in the systems that make service organizations run. The business was built around a straightforward belief: home and auto service should come with clear pricing, verified technicians, and work that's backed by a real warranty.
The same process applies on every job, regardless of scope or service type. As Ember grows, every technician and contractor added to the team is held to the same standards — because the name on the invoice means something specific.
