Armen responded fairly quickly with the price for the smog, no games or special hoops to just through, thank you very much. Price seemed right for a smog check and cert. and I liked how he was straight forward and helpful. Decided to go the following day, no appointment necessary, Armen said it would take maybe 30-45 minutes. I was ok with the time, planned on working while waiting. When I arrived, Greg was there and helped me, very friendly and took me right away. No wait. I started working on my computer and before I really got much done, he came back and my car was ready passed and cert. transmitted to the DMV, all less than 10 minutes. Out the door price with a $10 discount was $53. (As of Sept. 2025). Excellent service, fast service, straight forward reasonable pricing is a recipe for success. I would recommend them highly and will be back again when I need a smog. Thank you. Enjoy!

My grandson took his car here because he heard the breaks squeak on his car and was told by this…read moreshop he needed brakes and rotors and was also quoted $650.00, I sold him the car a couple of weeks ago and had the brakes and rotors changed last year at Tire Pros. I had no clue my grandson took his car to this shop, when I got home he told me they charged 800.00 to change both even though it didn't need it. I called the shop to speak to the owner and the person on the line was extremely defensive when I questioned the work and the charge, he would not listen so I decided to drive to the shop, The owner Armin came out if the shop charging at me as well as several employee! I told him that work did not need to be done and they took advantage of a kid. I picked up the parts they removed and left the premise. I highly recommend tire pros for any work like that not this shop. I wouldn't even let change my oi They took advantage of a kid who is not educated they quoted 650. 00 not 800.00 poor business practice.

Responsive, honest mobile mechanic -- made fixing my son's truck from out of town incredibly easy…read more I live in Ventura, but my college-aged son lives in Newhall while attending school. Recently he noticed the battery light stayed on and several electrical things weren't working correctly. Thankfully he drove the truck straight back to his apartment. Since I don't know any repair shops in the area and didn't want to deal with towing the truck somewhere, I searched for a mobile mechanic and found On The Go Mechanic. I reached out around 7 PM on a Friday, and he responded by 9 PM that same night. By 10 AM Saturday morning, he was already at my son's apartment. The diagnostic was $75, and he quickly confirmed the problem was the alternator. He explained that it might take until Tuesday or Wednesday to locate the correct OEM alternator and mentioned he prefers OEM because many aftermarket ones don't last as long. I appreciated the honesty. He didn't require a deposit and said he'd call when he located the part. To my surprise, first thing Monday morning he called to say he had tracked one down, but there were two possible versions and he needed to remove the old one to confirm which was correct. He came out, removed the alternator, sourced the right replacement, and returned shortly after. After a deposit for the part, he finished the job in about two hours, including reinstalling everything. He even sent me a video of the truck running with the correct voltage reading, which was great since I wasn't there in person. Because I was coordinating everything remotely from Ventura, this could have been stressful -- but he made the whole process very easy, transparent, and professional. Communication was excellent and payment through Zelle was simple. If you' need a reliable mobile mechanic, I would absolutely recommend On The Go Mechanic.

I took my vehicle home from this shop after a repair, with a new problem. Never had an ABS light…read morebut now I do. It's ok, the mechanic says that it is nothing "dangerous". This flags everything I know about abs system lights and abs system functions, I was told that the OBD2 ABS light could only be read by a different system by checking flashes of light from the (maybe obd1 type system type diagnostic system). Funny it would have two totally different diagnostics. But, I am not a mechanic. I'm just a girl. I was told that the ABS light could be from the vehicle being confused by what gear it was in as they were doing the service. They might have moved to with the vehicle in one gear and the transmission thought it was in a different gear. (This made no sense to me, but I'm just a girl). I paid way too much for corrections to my steering system, Im gonna say that's my fault, I don't know steering systems as well. I believe the people that say they are trying to help me. But I'm just a girl. I requested inspection of my transmission as the primary reason of my visit but they correctly and to their credit identified steering column issues as the main culprit. I still don't like the price, but they do have overhead and it's my problem for not checking their prices.' I was given half off the transmission check that never really happened. I was told that I was able to get that half off because " we already got enough labor from you". I'm just a girl but I have done my own head gasket, power steering pump, motor mounts, radiators, various sensors and hoses. But I let my inexperience in shifting and steering column issues get me taken advantage of. Until you wanted to drop a transmission pan for $550ish (it's about 20 bolts and some fluid) , and then tell me what you found. I said no and got a vehicle back with a ABS light that wasn't there when I dropped it off. but I can bring it back for them to fix it for no guarantee that it wouldn't cost me money. I'm just really surprised an AAA rated business would send someone down the road with a ABS light that wasn't there when they brought it in and then tell the vehicle owner that it wasn't something dangerous to drive with (ABS is kinda a big deal).
