    Issue identified & fixed in 15 mins!
    Casey G.

    Ali and his assistant were fantastic!!!! I've never used a mobile auto service before, so I wasn't sure what to expect or how legit it'd really be. I called Ali and he came out to diagnosis my car within an hour. They were super easy to talk to and they listened to me earnestly to figure out what was going on with my car--for my fellow girly pops, you know how huge this is!! It was like having your dad & brother working on your car for you in your driveway For the last 4 years, no dealer/shop techs could figure out what's been causing the electrical/start up issues my car has been having... Ali identified the issue within 15 mins and had it fixed It was such a stupidly simple fix, too!! Turns out I just needed someone with his experience, knowledge and honesty. Ali is that guy!!! I'll be using him for all future service / repairs moving forward. Thank you!!

    The biggest shout out to Chief Mobile Mechanic for helping me through my recent car stress! I had a hose pop off in my engine out of nowhere and we had one mechanic look at it and simply reattach, while not mentioning anything else being an issue. The very next day, the hose popped off again Safe to say I was very stressed and having this happen in the middle of the week with work was not ideal. Luckily, we called right as they opened and they were able to come to our location within the hour. I was worried being in an apartment complex would make it difficult to service, but our mechanic was able to set up easily and pointed out that it was actually the radiator that needed to be replaced - which was never addressed by my first fix. We were able to have it all fixed day of, and he even went out of his way to ensure the parking spot was cleaned up. After driving it through the week I can safely say the problem is resolved and I'm so relieved the process with Chief Mobile Mechanic made alleviated some of that stress. Highly recommend!

    I had 4 people look at my car and only Ali was able to fix it. He came at the time he said he would, gave a diagnostic, then proceeded to identify the problem accurately. 10/10 experience. Highly recommend him.

    Ali with the used car he inspected for me
    Brittany H.

    The service i requested from Ali was a pre-purchase inspection of a used car. He found a lot of issues with the car; not ready for smog check, needed all new struts/suspension, needed new radiator, needed new timing belt, and discovered the car had been in an accident. He saved me from buying a bad car. Very grateful for his help. He's also very fast to respond to calls/messages.

    My car broke down in a shopping center and I found Chief Mobile Mechanic on Yelp. Ali responded within 10 minutes of contacting him. I purchased the parts and paid him the labor. The value and quality of work was outstanding. P.s. I would recommend that you consider this local business.

    Cracked oil filter
    Troy M.

    Ali was a life saver! I took on the challenge of doing my own oil change. Well everything went wrong for me. I struggled with removing an oil filter. After struggling with it, I cracked it and oil started leaking out of it. At this point, I was helpless, because I couldn't take my car anywhere because driving it will damage the car. Ali texted me right away and was at my house within 30-45min. Ali removed my old filter like a pro! Luckily, I already had another one to replace it with. His price was reasonable considering the emergent need for his service. Thank you Sir Ali!

    Do you do transmissions removal and install? I have a 2008 Toyota Sienna AWD, already got a used transmission and just need the old one pulled from the van and the used one installed. Let me know what you would charge. Thanks!

    I got a few quotes before deciding to bring my 2014 Prius Plug-in here, and I'm really glad I did…read more They weren't the cheapest and they weren't the most expensive, but I felt like they charged what they needed to in order to get the job done I had no idea they even worked on hybrids because I never saw that mentioned anywhere, and I think more people should know. They took the time to explain the repair, confirmed the diagnostic code, and even pointed out a few things I should do to help my Prius last longer. They noticed my hybrid battery cooling fan was missing after I told them I just had it "replaced" at another shop. That's the kind of information you don't usually get from a repair shop. They ended up not needing to drop the subframe, so they adjusted the labor instead of charging me for work they didn't have to do. It still took the amount of time they said it was going to take, but still discounted me a little bit which I thought was cool. I also had them do an oil change while it was there, and even that was less expensive than what I normally pay at places like Jiffy Lube or Valvoline. If you own a Prius or any hybrid, I'd definitely recommend checking them out. More than anything, I left feeling like they genuinely know these cars and took the time to educate me, not just fix it. I'll definitely be bringing my Prius back if I ever need anything else.

    Jesse is the reason my cat is alive…read more Last weekend, during the Garden Grove toxic chemical evacuation, my tuxedo cat decided that the undercarriage of my cousin's Tesla Model Y was a great hiding spot. It was not. He was wedged in there for 12 hours with no food, no water, and zero litter box access. He was absolutely losing it. I ran through every option. Fire department? Busy with the actual chemical explosion rattling all of OC, fair. Animal control? Ghosted me. My cousin, currently out of the country, tried Tesla Roadside Assistance through the app. Tesla's answer: their technicians are not trained to rescue animals. Noted, but deeply unhelpful in the moment. Two other mechanics passed too. Jesse was my third Yelp attempt and my last real option. He showed up within two hours, no fuss, and got straight to work. He tried everything - the frunk, underneath, removing the right wheel - methodically working different angles for an hour and a half because my cat had chosen the most inconvenient possible position to be chonky in. Jesse stayed patient the entire time and got him out safely. My cat is home. He is fine. He is completely unbothered, as cats are. Jesse showed up when nobody else could. That is not something I will forget. Oh, and his prices are insanely reasonable. If you need a mechanic who will actually show up and problem-solve, Jesse is your guy.

    I paid Jesse $120 toward motorcycle service, and apparently accepting payment was the only part of…read morethe job he was interested in completing. I had ordered a part and was waiting for it to arrive, so about a month passed. During that entire time, Jesse never contacted me to ask whether the part had arrived or to follow up on the work I had already paid him to do. I eventually had to reach out to him myself. Over the following three weeks, I sent multiple text messages and called several times, all of which were ignored. After getting nowhere, I called from a different number--and suddenly Jesse answered. His excuse was that he had been "busy." I asked him to send me my money back and he hung up and blocked my number. In total, nearly two months passed after he took my money with no communication, no follow-up, and no attempt to complete the service. Being busy may explain a delayed response. It does not explain ignoring a paying customer for over two months while continuing to keep their money. That is not poor time management; it is poor business practice. There was an $80 diagnostic fee, so technically I am only out $40. Financially, it is not a huge loss. Professionally, however, it says everything I need to know about this business. A reputable business does not take payment, fail to complete the agreed-upon service, ignore every attempt at communication, and then offer excuses only after being reached from a number it does not recognize. The motorcycle needed a diagnosis, but the bigger problem turned out to be the business itself: unreliable, unresponsive, and completely lacking in accountability. I would not trust Jesse with my motorcycle again, and I certainly would not recommend paying him anything upfront.

    I had a really great experience at this shop and honestly can't recommend them enough. A few weeks…read moreago, my catalytic converter was stolen, and I had it replaced at another shop. After that repair, my check engine light suddenly came on--even though it wasn't on before. The first shop told me it was a problem with the mass air flow sensor and tried to charge me to fix it, which didn't feel right to me. So I decided to come here for a second opinion, and I'm really glad I did. The mechanic took the time to properly diagnose the issue and walked me through everything step by step. Within about an hour, he figured out that it wasn't the air flow sensor at all--it was just a blown fuse. That alone saved me a lot of money and potentially from being overcharged elsewhere. What really stood out was the honesty and communication. He explained clearly what went wrong, didn't try to upsell anything, and made sure I understood the situation. On top of that, he even aired up my tires for free, which was a nice touch. Fast, honest, and affordable service like this is hard to find. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this shop to others.
