Amazing mechanic, he's the only one I will trust my car needs with from now on. TLDR: unbeatable prices, convenient, hardworking, honest, crazy knowledgeable, genuine, reliable, professional, and kind! (He's also pretty funny too)
Initially I called him, to get a diagnostic done on my used Mercedes that suddenly started having problems out of nowhere to see if it was even worth fixing, he did the diagnostic for FREE! He came out the very next day after I called and diagnosed the immediate problems on the spot and explained to me that my car was worth keeping and that the repairs would be less expensive than buying a new one altogether. Originally I thought that the starter was bad so I bought a new one, but he explained that the one I had already was fine so he told me to return it and refused to charge me for a service I didn't actually need just so he could make more money.
From there he replaced my brakes and rotors right in my driveway which saved me costs on towing ALREADY. He gave me an amazing deal on the labor as well as coming along to AutoZone to make sure I was buying the right parts. He explained what exactly the problem was with my brakes, and showed me why and how they were going bad and what to look out for. My rear brake line on the drivers side was also leaking badly enough that if left as is, it could become a huge issue and cause that brake to stop working altogether, so he replaced that as well.
As he was doing the brakes, it became clear that my hub bearings on the front driver and passenger sides were loose/not installed correctly by the original mechanic and that my wheels were moving on the bearing when they shouldn't be. He explained why this was bad and super unsafe if we left them as is since they could literally come off the car as I was driving. He taught me how to change my own tires as well!
The labor for the repairs and the parts came out to be a fraction of the price of whatever I would have been charged by any other mechanic out there. He's a stand up guy and really cares about doing the job right, the FIRST time. Definitely the first person I'm calling from now on! read more
