    Y/D Automotive Mobile Services

    I cannot recommend Y/D Automotive after my experience with their mobile repair service…read more I found them through Google and contacted them for an alternator replacement. I was quoted about $585 for parts and labor. A technician came to my location around 3:00 PM, removed my alternator, then discovered he had brought the wrong replacement part. After checking multiple auto-parts stores, I was told the correct alternator would be about $950 plus $175 installation. Since that was substantially more than the original quote, I declined and asked only that my original alternator be reinstalled and the vehicle returned to the condition it was in before the work began. That did not happen. The technician spent several more hours trying to reinstall the alternator and drive belt but could not get the belt back on. I even spent about an hour trying to assist. Around 10:00 PM I told him to stop for the night. I paid him $60 for his time and was told another technician could come finish putting the vehicle back together. My vehicle was left undrivable overnight. The next morning Y/D initially told me someone would call back within 10-15 minutes to arrange another technician. That call did not come. I was later told all technicians were booked and someone could come the following morning around 10:00 AM. I could not leave my vehicle undrivable for another full day, so I hired an independent automotive technician to inspect it. He found that the drive-belt tensioner operating point/bolt had been stripped and could no longer be properly operated. I received an estimate of $449.65 to replace the tensioner assembly alone, separate from the alternator repair I already needed. When the independent technician returned to address the belt issue, he discovered that my original alternator had also been reinstalled incorrectly. It was not properly seated, and one mounting bolt was misaligned and not positioned through its proper mounting point. I am including a photo of that condition. According to the independent technician, the misaligned alternator prevented the belt from fitting correctly around the accessory system. He advised that the stripped tensioner was consistent with excessive force being applied while attempting to install the belt with the alternator improperly positioned. He also advised that the tensioner otherwise appeared to function normally apart from the stripped operating point. Once he properly seated and aligned the alternator, the belt could be installed correctly. The technician has agreed to document his findings in writing and, if necessary, testify regarding what he personally observed and his professional opinion. What disappoints me just as much as the mechanical work is how this was handled afterward. I repeatedly gave Y/D Automotive opportunities to resolve this directly. Despite already paying additional inspection and corrective-service costs, I initially asked only for the $449.65 cost of replacing the damaged tensioner. I specifically told them I was not asking them to pay for the alternator I already needed, my additional diagnostic expenses, corrective work, lost business income, transportation issues, or my time. I later made an even broader attempt to resolve this. After researching the business, I came to believe the technician who worked on my vehicle may also be the person operating Y/D Automotive. Because I am a small business owner myself and understand that people can get in over their heads, I offered to waive the $449.65 request entirely in exchange for an honest account of what happened, acknowledgment of the damage, and a sincere apology. That message was sent through multiple business communication channels, and some showed as read. I received no response resolving the matter. At this point I am beginning the formal process of pursuing recovery of my documented damages and expenses. I would have preferred to resolve this directly, but I am not willing to absorb damage to my vehicle and the resulting costs. Everyone makes mistakes. What matters is how someone handles them afterward. Based on the work performed on my vehicle and the way this situation has been handled, I absolutely cannot recommend Y/D Automotive. I am including supporting photographs and documentation where the platform allows so readers can evaluate the circumstances for themselves.

    My beloved SUV needed a diagnostic check, so I sent out a few messages through Yelp for auto…read moreprojects and received several responses. Y/D Automotive Mobile Services was one of the first to reply and also one of the most reasonably priced options for diagnostic testing. We received a clear quote up front, and they were very transparent about the service area, letting us know there would be an additional charge if we were outside their 20-mile radius. I appreciated that honesty and made sure to confirm the distance between us. We were assured our home was within range, which made scheduling easy. We set an appointment just a couple of hours later. When we received the text that he had arrived, my partner in crime went out to meet him, and he got straight to work. The whole process felt efficient and professional. When I finally went outside to hear the verdict, it turned out the issue wasn't nearly as bad (or as expensive) as I had feared, which was a huge relief. Y/D also let us know he'd be ready to come back out to complete the repair whenever we're ready. So far, the experience has been smooth, transparent, and reassuring. I'll be following up with another review once the repairs are completed, but this was a very solid first impression.

Well, luckily we just found that gem, Intune Mobil Mechanic. Wifey's car battery was DOA , and stuck inside our garage. Unfortunately, it's on the type of car that has the battery buried behind the air vent and other parts. Not the kind of replacement I want to take on and if you also have gorilla hands & a poor sense of touch, then you will understand why. Put a call for Yelp in and Julian was the first to respond. Explained the situation and he provided a fair quote for the work. We set it up for the following morning and he was there, as promised. Julian's work was on time , did great work, friendly , easy to communicate with thru text and above all, honest. Glad I got to be his first review on Yelp. Hopefully, others will try him out, and also have the same experience. Thanks again , you are in my contact list for future work and I'll be sure to contact you the next time I even consider having my oversize mittens tackle a sensitive mechanical task.

Said would be at our house at 8pm. Didnt show. Husband text. Changed the date for Thursday at 4pm. Confirmed via text during the day we were still set for 4pm. At 4pm states he is stuck in traffic but on the way. About 4:30 says he is here. He is not. Call him states is at a different address across town and it wasn't worth it to come do our service. I can't speak to the quality of his work since no work was performed. But his communication skills are lacking.

The elevated 2 Star rating was because they were able to squeeze my unscheduled maintenance in and provide me an estimate. My vehicle's issue was a check engine light. I already had the code read at Auto Zone and provided CB with the P0128 code to target the repair. I discussed the issue with AJ and he mentioned he sees this issue frequently so I thought I was in good hands. We skipped the courtesy inspection to get my vehicle in and out quickly because I had an urgent family issue. They sent me an estimated cost to replace the thermostat engine coolant assembly for my vehicle to be over ~$1270 including $724 for the part alone. I told AJ that was too much $$$ and that I would pick up my vehicle. When I went to pick up my vehicle I told AJ I found the OEM part online for hundreds of dollars cheaper and he said that his parts system had that price. You will see similar posts from other CB customers about over priced parts. I should've listened to that feedback but the CB shop is close by and convenient. I was ready to pick up my vehicle. That's when AJ told me I had a $160 diagnostic bill. I asked him for what since I told them specifically what to target and that was their same conclusion. AJ told me that they had to pay for the mechanic's time. That same diagnostic took Auto Zone a few minutes so $160 for nothing new is outrageous! I tried CB about five years ago and they messed up the shocks on my 1968 Pontiac Firebird and it was a fiasco to get remedied by them and take accountability. I chalked that up to an older vehicle and thought I'd give them another shot on my 2016 vehicle. Fool me once shame on me....fool me twice....I highly recommend looking elsewhere. The bill to replace the thermostat assembly with the OEM part ended up being 50% of CB's cost. They should replace the C with an S on their name for Shady Brothers.

The inspector…read morestated that my car did not pass the inspection because my front brakes were "metal on metal." He also stated that he could have the brakes replaced and fixed for $99. This raised red flags for me for many reasons. First, my front brakes were just replaced about 4 to 5 months ago - there's no way they'd already be metal on metal. Second, I've driven my car when the brakes were metal on metal - I know what it feels like, and I know what it feels like when they're nearly metal to metal. My car was not exhibiting any of these signs. Because of this, I told him my husband wanted to check out my brake pads first. I then had to pay him the $7.00 inspection fee. So, today, 12/30/2015, I took my car to Firestone for a second opinion. This inspector, Nathan Mallick, said my front brakes were fine, and that the rotors would need to replaced eventually, but they were still perfectly acceptable and worked well - and that there was no reason my car should have failed inspection. And, little did I know, Firestone also does State Inspections! So I asked them to re-do the inspection (there was no way I was going back to get swindled at the other place), and my car passed. Of course, I've had enough positive experiences with Firestone that, had he told me the other guy was correct, I would have taken his word for it. I'm very satisfied with Firestone's services!
