An automated mechanics creeper employing a base frame, a mast and a support platform whereby a mechanic can mount the support platform and by actuating an electrical wheel motor system and a hydraulic system can position a mechanic above an engine compartment in a comfortable and ideal position for purposes of making a repair to an automobile. The hydraulic system comprises a lift hydraulic cylinder which raises or lowers a support platform, a transverse hydraulic cylinder attached to said mast and attached to a vertical support frame which moves the support platform left to right, an extension cylinder joined to a pivot platform having parallel tracks and said extension cylinder further joined to the support platform having parallel rails whereby said parallel rails travel in said parallel tracks such that the extension cylinder can position the mechanic forwards and backwards, and a tilt hydraulic cylinder which tilts the support platform by connection of the vertical support frame with a crossbar of the pivot platform. The hydraulic system is controlled by a hydraulic control module and the electric wheel motor system is controlled via a wheel control module both of which said control modules are adjacent and in reach to a mechanic on the support platform.
