    My 1961 Super Sport Bubble Top Impala that Engine Dynamics will be working on this Monday. Thanks Brian.

    Brian and the staff are awesome. He fixes my grandsons broken radiator and other items in just a few hours. I am now taking my 1961 Super Sport impala to him on Monday. I need to drive it a long way. He agreed to go through the whole drivetrain from radiator to rear end. Inspecting everything and recommending what NEEDS to be done. Brian is a really great businessman. In addition we have a mutual friend that referred me. I am sure the Classic 1961 Impala will be in tip top shape. Thanks Brian!!! Kory Beeman

I have stated the truth!! You CANNOT legally charge a transaction fee on a DEBIT CARD!! If the charge were for more than $44, we would be in court, trust me! I don't really care about what "other mechanics or auto shops do", I care about the law, and what is fair to consumers. People, choose who to believe. Here is the law it is called the Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act. Got to be careful, Pat, I have have many friends who are lawyers!! People GOOGLE it yourself! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A California auto mechanic cannot legally charge a fee for using a debit card, as this is prohibited by federal law and card network rules. While a mechanic may offer a discount for cash or debit payments, they are not allowed to add a surcharge to debit card transactions, even if the card is processed with a signature.

My visit,…read morewhich I had hoped would address my vehicle's persistent issues, turned out to be a disappointing and costly experience. Initially, I brought my car to the clinic due to a recurring engine issue that I believed could be easily resolved. After a lengthy assessment, I was charged over $400 dollars for what I was assured would be a comprehensive fix. However, despite the assurances of the staff that the issue had been resolved, I continued to experience the same problem almost immediately after leaving the shop. It almost seems that all they were doing was just resetting my car so that the engine light would go away. After driving my car for about 50 miles the engine light came on AGAIN!!! I returned to the shop seeking clarification and a potential remedy, only to be met with a dismissive attitude and further charges for services that I believed should have been included in the initial repair. The lack of effective communication and customer care was disheartening, amplifying my dissatisfaction with the overall service. And the 2nd time I was charged $477 dollars for the mechanic to simply change the "THERMOSTAT HOUSING" I honestly think this amount is way too much not only do I feel like I was taking advantage, but these people are just dishonest and unprofessional. In conclusion, I cannot recommend 360Auto Clinic based on my experience. I left not only with an unresolved issue but also with a sense of having overpaid for inadequate services. I encourage potential customers to consider other options. In conclusion, if your car is having engine or transmission issues, just take it somewhere else where they will actually fix the problem. This people here don't have any experience when it comes to that issue. Don't waste your money..

Unfortunately, my recent experience really changed my perspective. Today I called because my brake light came on and I needed a quote for brake work. I was told it would cost $40 just to give me a quote. After the amount of money I've already spent there, that felt unreasonable and disappointing. In the past, I've also experienced small pricing inconsistencies -- being quoted one price, then when someone else picked up my car, the total was slightly higher. I'm not the type of person to complain over a few dollars, but it does add up and it doesn't feel good as a loyal customer. Today was the tipping point for me. Charging a fee just to provide a brake quote, especially for a repeat customer, feels like nickel-and-diming. I wanted to support a local shop, but based on my experiences, I'd recommend looking elsewhere for a business that values transparency and long-term customer relationships.

    Last week I went in to have my brakes checked because I'd been hearing a faint high-pitched noise…read morewhen braking, especially at low speeds when braking or releasing the brakes. I explained this issue over the phone, and again when I arrived. The shop said my front brakes and rotors were worn, so I had both replaced. I assumed this was the reason for the noise. The staff were friendly, helpful, and the price seemed fair. However, after the replacement, the same noise was still there - which was the main reason I came in to begin with. My front brakes would need replacing eventually, but I went in mainly to diagnose the noise. They offered to check the front brakes again for free. They put my car on the lift to listen for brake noise. While I could clearly hear the high-pitched noise each time when braking, the owner said he was unable to hear it. This confused me, because my wife and child can hear the noise every time we leave the driveway. When they backed my car out, we all could hear the high-pitched noise from the rear brakes (not the front brakes). It felt like my main concern wasn't fully addressed during my first visit. I felt like I was first sold a repair (new brakes) before having my actual concerns addressed (noise). Now I'm doubting whether I also needed to replace my water pump that day - which they said was leaking when I first visited to get the brake noise checked. I paid to replace that too, but was it actually necessary, or an upsell? They said they'd take off the rear wheels for $80 to check for debris and clean them, but at this point I'm not confident they would be able to diagnose my issue anymore. I don't want to spend any more money at this shop to check something that should have been checked when I asked on my first visit. To reiterate, all of the staff were friendly and I was treated respectfully and honestly - just to be clear for anyone reading to the end. But I will be looking elsewhere for a shop that listens to customers' concerns before charging for work. UPDATE: After reading the owner's response, I feel shocked. Again, I originally came in only to diagnose a noise - not specifically to replace brakes or rotors (or a water pump). I was happy to pay for new ones in order to solve my issue - the noise. I clearly communicated I was trying to solve the noise both times. I don't appreciate being told it's my fault for not pointing out exactly which wheels the noise was coming from. I'm downgrading this from a 3-star to a 1-star review due to this response. UPDATE 2: No, I was not shown any of my old or new parts before or after replacement - I sat in the waiting room while the work was being done; during the second visit, I was only shown my own car on the lift while trying to diagnose the sound, without any parts removed. But I'm not sure what that has to do with my review. My original noise concern was not resolved, and they didn't seem able to diagnose my issue. The owner's replies to my review sound very unprofessional and accusatory (do you reply like this to every review that's not 5 stars?) and I won't be replying here anymore.

    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.
