The invoice I paid for misdiagnosed control arms.

We've used Junior on several occasions for his mobile mechanic services. At first, I thought I'd found a mechanic I could trust. The last couple of times we've used him, I've been very disappointed. I paid close to $1,200 for a pair of control arms for my Malibu after he diagnosed those as the source of an awful rattling it's been making. I decided to go ahead with Junior, even though he was about $400 pricier than other quotes I'd received. To my disappointment, the rattling sound has persisted. When I asked him to reassess, he let me know it was the engine mounts--another $420. Additionally, Junior quoted me $1,703 for my Jeep, which was supposed to include a transmission flush. This was before the control arms incident, at which point I was still giving Junior my business. The last time I went for an oil change, the mechanics let me know that my transmission fluid was very dirty and would need a flush. This was about 3 weeks following Junior's service. I've attached some screenshots of quotes he's given me for reference. I'd advise anyone reading this to get a second opinion from another mechanic before making any decisions. Not sure what happened. Junior was great at first, though perhaps only for the simpler jobs.

Jay's amazing work with my oversized tires. All the cutting, trimming, hammering was done with great precision.

I came to Jay needing some help clearing oversized tires for my van. He gave me a really fair quote and I automatically agreed to it. The job is more labor intensive than we both thought, and required more work and time than expected. He told me immediately when he realized it and didn't even hesitate to assure me that he's going to get it done for me. I've worked with a lot of mechanics in the past, both in regular shops and mobile, and none have come close to the professionalism and dedication Jay has. From just the few times I've met with him, I can tell he really cares about his clients. He's gone out of his way to make sure I get what I envision for my van, and he's told me stories about helping his other clients out of huge financial mistakes with going to other mechanics. I found a guy that is honest, reliable, dedicated and passionate. If you don't hire Jay to help you out with whatever you need for your vehicle, you can definitely go elsewhere and spend way more money for half the quality of work.

The car Jay worked on!

The guys at Zip Zap Auto are genuine, hard-working, and kind people. I've been taking my car to…read moretheir shop for smog tests for years (and can we talk about their full free beverage and snack station for those who need to wait in their lobby??! Incredible. Just a really small feature that makes you feel taken care of in a business that is often frustrating and can be predatory.) They're not in this business just to prey on issues that "pop up" when you take your car in for something unrelated. If there is a mistake on their end (because let's admit it, we are human, mistakes can and very well could happen!) they will go out of their way to fix their mistake, own up to it, and do what they can to be open and honest with their customer about the situations. I recently took in an Audi A3 (if you know anything about German automotives, you know how much time and work they take for the simplest things and not all mechanics have the capability or tools to work on them) and when they found out it had an issue that was - in reality - not a very fixable one, they really talked me through the issue and what their opinion on what the best direction to take was. It wasn't the option that made them money. It was the option that helped me in the long run. I did end up having to purchase a new car, but you know that they'll be the first ones I take my new one to for anything and everything! I cannot thank them enough for the kindness they showed me in that time of frustration and the fact that they didn't try to upsell me on anything is such a breath of fresh air in a business where value doesn't always matter as long as money pools in their pockets. Zip Zap isn't that way, and its incredible. They have incredible opening hours for people who work regular 9-5s. Thank you to the team at Zip Zap!!

I was greeted with smiles and everybody was very very friendly, and I was in and out in ten minutes (!), but.... The tech's hands were filthy dirty.

Things cost a lot more than they used to so I'm not sure.

5-Star Review…read more Miguel's Mobile Mechanic is truly a lifesaver! They came out to my residence quickly and replaced a faulty crankshaft sensor on my 2004 CLK500, saving me the hassle and cost of a tow. Their pricing was extremely cheap and completely transparent -- I saved over $1,000 compared to what the Mercedes dealership quoted me. Their service advisor, Karina, was incredibly helpful and kept me updated on the technician's arrival. They gave me a 3-hour window and delivered right on time with impressive punctuality. Overall, I highly recommend Miguel's Mobile Mechanic to anyone looking for honest, low-cost, and reliable service for their vehicle. Exceptional experience from start to finish!

We thought we'd picked up a dependable car, a 2013 Nissan Altima. We found out afterwards it needed quite a bit of work, including a catalytic converter.

Passion Auto was our next choice and the quotes for the various services were spot on with what my research showed they should be. They also identified an issue the first shop missed, a shredded serpentine belt. Passion Auto was very understanding of our situation and did good work at a fair price. I highly recommend them.

Once I turned on my car again to use it started shaking a lot I was concerned because I just got it fixed. So I took it back to this auto repair because they had fixed it to begin with. Once they checked it they said the water pump is leaking. I asked them why didn't they tell me it was leaking before they fixed my gas blank they told me nothing was wrong with it before but now it is. How?? I only drove it less than 10miles! They wanted to charge me another 1k ! How do they fix a leak and give back the car with a brand new leak? I told them if they can please see if we can work something out because it was strange that all of a sudden it has a new problem. They said they'd get back to me. They never got back to me they just ghosted me. 2015 Audi A6

He has such an incredible personality, is patient and overall, has a down to earth demeanor that is a RARITY (and refreshing to see) in this city. After attempting to "kick" the starter and run diagnostics on the battery, it became evident that both needed to be replaced. The battery was only a few months old, but as is the case sometimes, there is a chance you might end up with a dud. Based on Jon's suggestion, we managed to get a replacement from the nearby auto parts store, and within a couple days, the starter replacement arrived, and Jon not only installed it but even helped change the oil in my mom's car as well and answer some of her questions and concerns. We will definitely continue to use, as well as recommend Jon to friends and family. Thanks Jon! BTW: The Rooster, with his leather jacket on, says hi. :D

Rico and his team are absolutely awesome. Because my vehicle is so old, they didn't actually have the proper testing equipment for the computer (neither did the manufacturer!) But the mechanic there took it for a test ride, free of charge, to help me see what was wrong. They figured out the problem and they did the work at a very fair price. They worked in a very fast manner and got it done. When I went to pick the car up, it seemed the problem wasn't fully fixed. So I called up Rico, told him, and he told me he'd contact a friend of his that worked on older vehicles like mine to find out the exact problem. Just like that, he took found it out. I sent it back to them and they fixed it for good this time. They didn't charge me for the labour, just for the part. When I went to pick up the van, he even had me test drive it to make sure I was satisfied. The cherry on top of all of this , he called me a few days later to follow up on the van's performance. Rico knew I was traveling around the country and wanted to make sure the car was safe and OK to do so. I so appreciate him and his team. I HIGHLY advise going to them if you ever needed mechanical work. Thanks QM!

I have been here 3 times. One of the times was because they forgot too put the diff fluid in so i…read morehad to go back for them to fix that. Why im writting a review today is because I went in and I was hearing a rattling noise in the front of my truck. I also notice one of my front diff seals was leaking a little. So I asked if they could replace that as well. I also metioned my parking break not fuctioning properly but knew that it would be hard to fix. The pedal needs to be removed and it has rivets so they need to drilled out.They said they would do it if I sorced the part. I declined. After that, They told me that both of the seals on the front diff need to be changed. I said okay, they said included with that i would get a front diff service. When i went to go pick up my truck the next day. Im told that the work is done and everything is good to go. I pay my $960! and go on my way. Come to find out. Only one diff seal got change you can clearly tell no work was done to one side. Also if you look at the bolt for the diff fluid it looks like it didn't even get touched. I feel as so, yeah people act nice and act like they will take care of you but you can never trust anyone fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me fool me three times? naw not getting fooled again ;) In the picture where you see orange that's one side of the diff that I believe they changed the seal. If you look on that side you can see fluid, clips replaced, bushings shifted and looks visibly different and worked on. If you look at the other side, it looks exactly the same as when I brought it in. I also looked up a video on how you would change those seals and looking over my truck versus what I saw doesn't add up. Also, what I would like to mention is that they didn't fix the rattle that I told them about. And they also scratched the door on my truck. So my advice is if you need a quick fix and you can't find anywhere else I guess go here, but if you want honest people for a good price go to the east side.
