Highly recommend for pre-purchase inspections in the Bay Area!…read moreI found this inspector on Yelp and had a great experience. He arrived at the dealership before me since I was running late, and by the time I got there he was already wrapping up the test drive. Once we sat down, he made sure we had privacy to talk and was completely honest about the vehicle's condition. He walked me through a detailed breakdown sheet covering everything he checked, and flagged one item that concerned him, he suggested I bring it up with the dealership before moving forward. I did, and called him back later that day with what they told me. After hearing the explanation, he confirmed it checked out and gave the vehicle his full stamp of approval as a solid buy. On top of being thorough and honest, he's mobile, reasonably priced, and accepts all forms of payment. Can't ask for more, I highly recommend if you're buying a car in the Bay Area and want peace of mind first.

Eran is the best! If you're not car leaning or knowledgeable, and/or you're hesitant and doubtful…read moreabout moving forward on any used car, you don't have to worry about it and can completely trust SafeBuy and Eran! He's the consummate professional, excellent work ethic, and absolutely knowledgeable and competent. Eran is so awesome and accommodating. He seems ready and eager to work for & with you, and he made himself available as best he could with me. Even though it's clear from his website the area range he covers, and that he's open to go even further (for, in my opinion a small additional charge), he went extra far for me; and furthermore he's always ready seemingly at a moments notice (which won't always be the case, of course, but shows that as long as he's available, he'll jump to work with you [reflective of how awesome service & work ethic he has])! The extra (again, for an small [IMO] additional charge) he was wonderful in considering for me was even as far as a used car dealership in Roseville! Just FYI, for him Gilroy is too far (haha, had to try, because he's awesome and I was desperate for the car, so for him to). And he works hard to make it that his customers don't have to do anything additional, and that he'll take care of it all -- he doesn't expect you to meet him there (although you have the option; he offered/was-open for me to be there to do it with him, but since the dealerships were like 40+ miles out, I opted not to), or to meet with him beforehand, or even afterward; you can correspond and coordinate just text and/or phone. If anything, you just might have to call the dealership and give them a heads up (telling them the time and Eran's name & business). He goes out, takes the car for about an hour, and checks everything. But beyond that (and what I mean about excellent work ethic and consummate professional) is that he documents it all (photos on top of his notes), and he goes in, around, and even under the car and looks at all the nook and cranny of all the car parts & aspects. He took plenty of photos of anything remarkable of the car (dents, paint deterioration, oil/grease stains [underhood of the car], interior issues, etc.). He has a whole form with a checklist that checks ranging from fluids to condition of belts to lights working to hoses to condition of the tires & brakes and the rest; even takes note if there's a spare tire & wheel jack. Of course he hooks up his OBD tool to check for any codes. Then he sends you the report with all of his findings, gives you a call to talk it all over and he gives his impression, then you send payment -- he's really cool about payment and states "however you want to pay"; Paypal, Venmo, Zelle, Apple Pay, Cash, Check, whatever. He gave me the impression that I wanted him to be my own mechanic; so I even asked him. And it's a credit to him to have replied that, to keep professionalism and can't claim exploitation, he doesn't do both (PPI and mechanic). He is on the high end of what you might estim8 ($180; more if you send him outside his normal area/range [I don't believe more than $200]), but I was happy to spend that on him. I'm a novice with cars (general knowledge enough, but not enough to be able to identify whether car parts are in good order and/or would last or not), so I wasn't confident in my ability to buy my first used car. I used him twice (would have been three times, but Gilroy was too far away). In the end, the used car I got has worked great for the last 6 months. And he saved me from buying an amazing car (high end Hyundai; $3k) but in such under-the-hood horrible shape that it would've been 3x the cost of the price just to repair everything -- which is proven when I saw the listing remain for 2 whole months and priced reduced twice down to I believe $2800! After it all, I brought my used car to 2 mechanics after him, and they confirmed 4 out of the 6 concerns he had -- which, granted, it's not like Eran has a car lift and a whole lot of time to thoroughly check as much as a mechanic with a garage would. He mistook cosmetic blemishes on the serpentine belt and the brakes as old age and maybe needing to be replaced -- which didn't end up being the case. But he did get the transmission deficiencies, signs on a certain valve gasket, parking brake, and other aspects right on the mark. I can't say good enough things about him! I was only able to feel confident enough to buy the really old used car that was in my budget because of him. And it's been nothing but a success! 6 months later, after taking care of the issues and potential concerns Eran noted, the car has not given any problems (that could have been foreseen; it still is a really old car so some things are bound to have come up organically) -- proving how much Eran and SafeBuy is really stellar and impeccable! If you're not the best with cars, you can absolutely trust Eran and SafeBuy; as much as you can trust his willingness, commitment, integrity, experience.

I had him inspect my daughter's car to get an assessment on what she needed to get done and since it was a second hand car (her first car), I knew there were going to be issues. He charged a reasonable rate and provided an estimate on each items so that I can be aware of the cost when we finally decide to get the work done. I also had my brakes and rotors replaced and my car is driving so much better now. I didn't know what to expect, as I never used a mobile mechanic and I must say, his prices are quite reasonable. I will definitely be calling Ramiro for our future automotive repair needs.

Extremely Disappointed…read more I brought my car to J&jAuto Repair in late July because of the positive reviews. Before J&j diagnosed my car, I specifically explained that other shops had already replaced the coils and spark plugs, but the same problem kept coming back after a month or two. Despite knowing this history, I paid approximately $180 for a diagnostic and was told I needed the coils and spark plugs replaced again, costing me about $700, i authorized the work and once again the car ran smooth right after this. About two months later, the exact same issue returned. I called them and was told to bring the car back but communication was very poor. I had to repeatedly call for updates and ultimately lost another day of work waiting for answers. I was eventually told the coils and spark plugs were fine and that my car needed a Honda software update. They gave me a Honda service bulletin and sent me to the dealership. I took another day off work, only to have Honda tell me that **the bulletin did not apply to my vehicle--it was for the 2.0L engine, while mine is the 1.5L--and my software was already up to date. After this experience, I am extremely disappointed with the diagnosis, communication, and service I received waisting my time my money and the frustration of them being a professional repair shop not knowing what's wrong with my car . I will be filing a complaint with BBB, and Bureau of Automotive repair (BAR). I wanted to share my experience so other customers can make an informed decision. i do not recommend this shop as they only put band aids on your car .

Having a service like Mechanic Pros provides invaluable peace of mind and confidence in the purchasing process. This was my second experience with Cameron, and once again, his service was exceptional! He was punctual, professional, thorough, and knowledgeable. What impressed me most was that he remembered details from his previous inspection of another Mazda and was able to compare the two vehicles, helping me better understand my options and make a more informed decision. As a female consumer, I especially value having someone whose assessments I can trust. Knowing the actual condition of a vehicle before committing to it, particularly when there's a return window, is incredibly reassuring. I also learned that Mechanic Pros offers services beyond pre-purchase inspections. Based on my experiences, they would be my first call for future vehicle concerns. Excellent service, genuine professionalism, and peace of mind that's worth every penny. Highly recommended!

I'll be back until I get a new car. Lol But, my recent experience has me questioning that, as they no longer offer lifetime services. I called 2 days on a row, trying to get information on some new tires I didn't see on their website. I wanted to know if they could order them, and, if not, what would be a comparable tire. If they didn't have it, fine. But, the lady told me she would pass my information along to somebody to call me back. Nobody ever did. I called back later that day - about 3 hours later. I think a simple callback could be done within that span of time. Same thing. I guess she couldn't find it if they could order them. I called back the next day. Early. I have them all day, and still nothing. That was yesterday. So, here I am today at 9:20am sitting in the lobby of America's Tire, who gave me a same day appointment, explained the tire difference on the tire in getting (same brand, but different model), and will have me out in about an hour. Pep Boys, you didn't lose my business. But, you're only going to get the lifetime free services I get when I bring it in for an oil change.

He is nice to deal with, transparent on everything he does, and will explain his process step-by-step. He is thorough, and does not cut corners. He noticed little things that a (luxury brand) dealership failed to address in their multi-point reconditioning process, and encouraged me to ask for an extra discount (I would unlikely to do so on my own, on a deal we already had in place, even if it was subject to inspection, that's if I even would notice them!). As a result his inspection came out to under 1/3 of the price. More importantly, he gave me confidence in the car. This car came with no maintenance records, except CARFAX. With Mitchell's 3 page report I now have something to show to a potential buyer down the line - another way Mitchell adds value.
