Jake was great for multiple reasons. He responded promptly and communicated well. The next good part was that Jake listened thoroughly to my issue, which was an intermittent electrical issue shutting down my dash electronics for just a moment on longer trips and asked the appropriate questions to try to determine what might be the root cause. Cutting to the really great part, Jake started with the basics and called me back out to my garage just a few minutes later and told me that he had found that my positive battery cable was a little loose and that was very likely the issue. Of course I was embarrassed because I had installed that battery myself about six months ago and apparently hadn't tightened it enough. Also embarrassed because I had checked the negative terminal thinking it might be a loose ground but didn't bother to check the other cable less than a foot away. Of course the truly great part is that in less than 15 minutes, I know I found a great trustworthy mechanic for any future needs because he could have tightened it, then spent two hours just hanging out in my garage and then let me know that he found some loose ground somewhere. Instead, he charged me appropriately, discussed that we could keep looking but that was very likely the cause, and to call him immediately if the issue came back. I couldn't have had a better outcome. Thanks Jake. read more

It's always difficult to find a good, honest mechanic, especially for women. Fortunately, there are still a few out there, and Jake is one of them. When I was asking for quotes this time around, another mechanic quoted a price slightly less than Jake's, but when we started talking about making an appointment, he told me that price was for labor only, and he claimed it would take THREE HOURS to complete the job. I double-checked with Jake about his price: his quote was for both parts and labor, and when he did the work, it only took him ONE hour. I don't want to name names, but this other person's company starts with "T." Talking to Jake about your car's problems is like talking to a family friend. He took the time to discuss options with me, gave me honest prices and respected my choices, then completed the job quickly and thoroughly. I will definitely use Jake's Mobile Garage for my car repairs in the future, and I'll recommend his services to everyone I know. If you've seen my other reviews, you might be wondering why I'm not going to Sunland Auto anymore. I still think they're great, but I have moved farther away from their location, and in my current circumstances, it will be easier for me to use a mobile mechanic than to take my car to a shop for repairs. read more

I scheduled service with Jake to get coilovers installed on my 2013 Lexus LS460. Jake was professional and great with communication on appointment time and what he was doing as he worked through it. It was a very positive experience and he showed he cared about the specifics of what I was looking for. I recently upgraded to 22 in wheels from 20's and didn't like the change in ride height, wanting to lower my vehicle between an inch and a half to two inches. Not only did he take the time to work through the adjustments I wanted, (cant tell you how many times he willingly took the wheels off and put them back on to make sure I was satisfied) but was able to teach me quite a bit along the way. The experience of having a professional mechanic come to the house and be able to see the inner working is almost priceless. Needless to say, Jake will have a loyal customer for life! Appreciate your time, sir and look forward to working with you again in the future! read more

I was having problems with my car and I immediately looked up mobile mechanics near me and Jake's mobile garage was one of the first ones to pop up with legit reviews and a great rating and let me tell you just from my experience everything you see online about his business is true. He responded to me within 30 minutes to an hour and then was at my house within the next 30 minutes and quickly identified the problem of my car. He then proceeded to fix my car all within under an hour and 30 minutes and now I'm able to drive my car to work tonight and be back on the road. I would definitely recommend him!! The customer service is super top notch. Definitely will be contacting him up if I ever need anything in the future. Did I mention super affordable as well! Thank you Jake!! read more

Called Jake to get AC diagnosed and then serviced on two primary vehicles. He diagnosed and then serviced as needed, and they are both now ready for summer. Also had him replace an oil sending unit on an '03 Avalanche, which he completed in no time at all. Finally had him diagnose a '93 Corvette that was in the garage and wouldn't start. By systematically analyzing, and using process of elimination, he was able to resolve the issue and save me money by avoiding replacing parts that did not need to be replaced. Jake is courteous, respectful, polite, and very knowledgeable. A true professional who provides quality service. I will definitely use him again in the future! read more

I have had eletrical issues with my car that have plagued me since I bought it used from a dealer. I thought it was going to be expensive to track down. Took 30 minutes to find and resolve. A GPS tracker hooked to my battery direct. Replacing batteries yearly, random drains and needing a jump, wouldn't start with full battery, losing power while driving. I spent days trying to find why my alarm system was acting up. Resolved everything with a little snip of a wire. Friendly and willing to explain anything I asked. I have found my new car shop! read more

I've been dealing with an electrical issue on my wheelchair accessible van for 2 months. I've sent my van to 3 different shops, one of which was the dealership service center. The first 2 shops couldn't find the root cause, and the dealership took 9 days to give me a diagnosis that didn't fix the problem. I called Jake out to my apartment, and he found the issue within 30 minutes. He knew right where to zero in and wasted no time getting me the answers that I've been waiting 2 months to get. I wish I would have called him FIRST! read more

My EV wouldn't allow a gear shift after the 12v battery died and I installed a new one. I was worried I'd need to get it towed to a dealer. But he came out and got it working in 30 minutes and only charged me half of the one hour diagnostic fee we had agreed on. He also patiently answered all of my questions. Great service and great value! read more
