About Us

Hi, I'm Kris Castillo, owner of Brakes on The Go and Founder of the Idaho Car Clinic. I am a full service certified mobile mechanic with a growing team, proudly serving the Treasure Valley and Southwest Idaho. My love for cars started early when I helped my friends work on their vehicles before I even had my own license. I enjoyed finding parts and improving their cars, which sparked my passion for automotive repair. I've always liked car racing and also admire those who take driving on public roads with caution and a strong regard for safety. I'm a fan of the raceway in Meridian, where the passion for cars and skillful driving come alive.

I work on all makes and models, from the newest vehicles with advanced control panels to classic cars of any year. I have a keen understanding of how to adapt to new automotive technology, and I take the time to teach my customers how to avoid unnecessary costs and losses. I also enjoy working on older vehicles-sometimes those are the most rewarding projects!

I'm married to my wife, Samantha (Sam), and we have four wonderful kids, two of whom are now drivers. This new milestone in our family has sparked my interest in expanding my role as community outreach, helping more people stay safe and mobile on the roads.

I take the growing traffic issues in our area very seriously and am committed to maintenance, prevention, and keeping vehicles running safely and reliably. I offer a full range of maintenance and repair services including brakes, tires, oil changes, fluid changes, leaks, engine and battery issues, and seasonal vehicle care to prepare your car for changing weather conditions.

I also want to encourage young people to pursue working with cars and jobs that require good driving skills, helping build a skilled and responsible next generation.
Over the years, many customers, busy professionals, working parents, retired, elderly and single parents have come to trust me with their cars and families. I understand how important reliable transportation is, and I'm honored to provide service that fits their busy lives.

I'm active in my church and deeply connected to this community. I'm a thankful American who loves my freedom and my country. Having relocated here several years ago, I understand what it's like to be new to the area, and I'm always happy to help both longtime residents and newcomers.

In addition to comprehensive mobile automotive services, including repairs, lockouts, towing, car shopping assistance, appraisals, I also work closely with collision experts. I use quality parts and pride myself on providing excellent mechanical and trustworthy service to all my customers, whether you're a returning client or reaching out for the first time.

I love the Treasure Valley, Idaho and am committed to keeping you safely on the road with honest, reliable service.
