Totally admired him for that. I know the whole team Gene, Khoi, Andy, & TJ (has changed a bit over the years), but still same great service. I should have posted about them well over a decade ago, but after having my car serviced yesterday (12/29/25), TJ & I talked about an issue he specifically helped me with last year when I was in a battle with Hyundai Dealership staying compliant on fixing a "Rod Bearing Failure" recall issue that requires an entire replacement engine install due to my car was experiencing serious stalling, slowing down in the freeway, and drastic oil burning out to the tune of needing oil fills every 2-weeks!!! One of the Hyundai Service Specialist advised I NOT refill the oil and just let it burn out until the engine locked or a specific service light switched on. I told her that sound awfully drastic and dangerous, but she said that would be the fastest way for them to get the proper engine "Rod Bearing Failure" code reading they needed to warrant the engine replacement. Needless to say, no oil caused the catalytic converter to blow out. Now, the Hyundai Specialist comes to me singing a new tune that it's now MY responsibility to pay $4500 for the Catalytic Converter to be replaced NOT addressing the new engine at all. I immediately hopped on the phone and followed up with TJ at Factory Specific, not only did he fully consult & educate me on the EXACT steps to take to make them address and fix ALL issues including the Catalytic Converter but that I could take it up with Hyundai Corporate office as well if necessary, bottom line do NOT let them off the hook. TJ's ADVICE WAS AWESOME; I GOT NEW ENGINE & CATALYC CONVERTER REPLACMENTMENT AT $0 COST, PLUS A NEW 2025 HYUNDAI SANTA FE LOANER CAR FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS!!

Situations like that can easily turn into a frustrating experience, but they handled it smoothly and made sure I was taken care of.

He took the time to explain the issue in detail, didn't cut corners, and never tried to upsell me on things I didn't need. He also communicated with me through the whole process. My A/C is running perfectly now thanks to him, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with work this complex. Highly, highly recommend if you want a real expert and someone you can count on.

Comes with his tools and diagnostic equipment, some of which are not cheap. Definitely not a backyard mechanic, let's put it that way. He came out yesterday to inspect our A/C system going out. It wasn't because of freon, I already checked that. He came out, hooked up his gauges and poked around. Went as far as to go under the side of the van and immediately said it confirmed his suspicion because one line was hot while the other way cold. The fluid couldn't circulate. Said he suspects it's a clogged system. Well, our Odyssey has two HVAC units for front and back. Not a cheap fix to diagnose the system to find the clog because it involves taking everything apart one by one to find it. He said he'd recommend going to a local shop to have them run the a/c flush machine and that it could get out partial clogs and any metal shavings which might be causing issues. That he could do the repair for us but that it could cost into three figures to fix, depending on when he finds the clog between front/rear units. That he's more than happy to take care of it but doesn't want us spending more than is necessary if a flush can fix it. Best part? He didn't charge me a penny! Said because he was only there to diagnose and couldn't fix the issue (at least today) that there's no charge, wouldn't accept payment. Told me to let him know how it goes and fingers crossed that fixes the issue. Well, it did. Went to a local shop and paid $50 for the A/C system to be flushed. It's blowing ice cold now! This is another example of why I trust local services over national chains. Reputation matters. I will say one negative, and it's something to consider before contacting him - he is always backed up with work. Same for the other local mobile mechanic. Not making excuses, because it can be annoying when people don't get back to you quickly, but in this case I'd happily take the delay in getting him booked because his knowledge and honest work is well worth it. If it's a pressing matter maybe go with a local shop with quick availability. It being an A/C issue was something I could wait on (plus have a second car). Has a customer for life here.
