Junior quoted me $598.50 for a freon recharge, and it would have been $720 if the Subaru used a different type of freon. Luckily, we checked into it, and we were able to do the job ourselves for about $40. A/C has been blowing cold since. I recommend using another mechanic. read more

Jay R Mechanic - Junior's quote for a freon recharge. - Auto Repair Near Me

Jay seems like very nice guy and I'm sure he does good work.....if he actually makes it to your appointment. I'm not leaving 1 star because his initial communication was great and I understand it's just him (please hire someone to help you), but then it's like he fell off the face of the earth! He never confirmed the appointment (radio silence when asked) and then the day he THOUGHT he was supposed to be coming out, he texts me half an hour AFTER the time to say he just woke up. We had to research and hire someone else. read more

Jay is the real deal. Lightning fast, efficient, and effective. I was impressed most with his response time and him doing the job right and being on time, what a joy in vegas. I would totally recommend him. It's standard rate not cheap. But you don't want cheap you want fast and great. He is both of these things. Trust your job to a professional. Jay is a top notch pro!!! 5 star service. read more

Jay R Mechanic - Replace starter. - Auto Repair Near Me

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. read more

My check engine light came on suddenly, so for my safety I decided not to drive the car until I could get it diagnosed by a mechanic. My friend told me to consider a mobile mechanic, since they come straight to your house. I started doing my research and found Jay R mobile mechanic on Yelp. His reviews are stellar, so I decided to call Jay to ask him a few questions regarding his services. Our conversation was going great, up until I asked him if he was licensed, insured and bonded. I specifically asked for his license number so I can look him up and then all of a sudden he was silent and then just abruptly HUNG UP ON ME! I tried to call back several times and then he completely blocks me. Why? Because I'm asking for proof that he is licensed, insured and bonded? Hanging up on me made it obvious right away that he isn't. So out of frustration, I dig a little further on this guy and ultimately find out through the dmv that there's a database to check for compliance for every auto repair and body shop in Vegas. I searched for this business and discover that he is in fact NOT licensed, insured nor bonded. It is unlawful in the state of NV to work on other people's vehicles in a business capacity for compensation without being in compliance. Which he is not. Jay R mobile mechanic is NOT in compliance in accordance to the registration requirements set by NV DMV. HE IS NOT LICENSED, INSURED OR BONDED and if you hire him to work on your vehicle, you're taking a BIG risk. I think most, if not all of these reviews are lies and fabricated by his family members and friends. I'm not here to knock anyone and he may very well be a great mechanic but you have to be on the up and up and legal at all times! What if an accident occurs? How will you be covered if he has no license or insurance? Why risk it? Below is the link to the database the dmv directed me to, which is a very helpful tool for anyone to check on ANY auto repair or body shop in NV to ensure they are in compliance with state laws: https://dmvapp.nv.gov/DMV/OBL/Business_Reports/Pages/BusinessLicenses.aspx read more

Jay R is great! Highly recommended. He was able to swing by to inspect my Subaru during my lunch break and give me a thorough analysis. Saved me time from dropping my car off the shop all day. Thank you read more

Jay R showed up the same day to help us out. His prices were fair and he communicated quickly. We will definitely call him again anytime we have an issue. read more

Jr did two rear wheel bearing hubs for my Lexus 2006, GS430 Sunday afternoon. I'm very pleased and i didn't have the right tools tools for this job... he saved me the headache. Jr i will have more stuff for you in the future. What an improvement the car is ....very smooth like butter and i'll probably get better gas mileage now without the drag of the damaged bearings. ty Walter read more

Yes! I recommend Jay R. for auto repairs! I had an anti freeze leak and was in need of a mechanic right away to diagnose the problem. Jay R showed up quickly and replaced a lower radiator hose and the problem was fixed for a fair price and on the same day! Great job Jay R. Thank you for your honesty and great service. I will definitely call you again! -Dave A. read more

I highly recommend Jay R. He was timely, very professional and quality work! He came to our residence in Sun City Summerlin and worked in our 4Runner. Great job! read more

He totally saved the day! My car broke down/gear shift was jammed. HOA was giving me a hard time about the car being on the street and they were going to tow it.

Another great service call from Jay. Repair was done, best price and quick service, definitely use again. Highly recommended. This is my third service call with Jay read more

Came out and saved the day. Had to try a few things and he hustled and figured it out.

Jay R is fast... why ??? Because he knows what he's doing... And when it's all done ... you'll leave with a smile ‼ read more

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. read more

Jay R Mechanic - Jay's amazing work with my oversized tires. All the cutting, trimming, hammering was done with great precision. - Auto Repair Near Me

I would like to address this to Seniors and anyone who could be or ever has been ripped off by an auto mechanic! This young man is quick to answer and will get to you as fast as he can.. He is honest, sincere and very good at what he does.. Jay could have easily taken advantage of this old lady as I thought a $2,000 repair was needed thanks to other quotes. God, luck or whatever you believe in led to me checking Yelp and finding this terrific person who knew that I had been told that exorbitant price and instead got my car fixed for $300!!!! PLEASE CALL JAY FOR AUTO REPAIRS you will absolutely, positively be so very glad you did - I know I am!! read more

Just had work done on my CL550 Mercedes. And I can say that I am very pleased with the work that has been done. This company is very professional and they come highly recommended by me. Jay was very prompt and got right to work on my car. I inspected his work area and it was as clean as before with no spills or mishaps. Super happy with him. And he was less expensive than most places, I checked. Coupled with the convenience of sitting on my couch at home instead of a repair shop waiting room, this was an awesome experience!! read more

Con artist head ah. I paid this man 1800 to fix my K frame and my brakes that I bought brand new. Do you know I went to get a tune up he said you know your brakes are bad. That was the same month. And my car hasn't been the same since. Let's not forget to mention he scammed my Aunty right after me.... *Correction I've left this review and one on your instagram so you can't get me for harassment. I just did this comment today! Liar too! SMH Thank you read more

Dude showed up 30 minutes after getting in contact with me and did an amazing job getting my brakes and rotors swapped out! I had been moving a lot due to the military and hate going to chain repair shops. Highly recommend this dude, friendly and hard working. read more

Completed my second vehicle repair this week. I did a previous post for my A/C Compressor for my 2015 Altima on Saturday. He completed the work on the 2015 Rogue this morning. Brakes, Control Arms, and Bearings. I was quoted $1,400 alone from a local Big O Tires shop for the Control Arms alone. In total I saved roughly around $2,000 for both vehicles. Great service and extremely courteous. I will use him again and again and will refer business his way. read more

Jay R (Carlos) was awesome. My battery light came on two days before my drive from Vegas to Oregon. I changed the battery. Light stayed on. Went to Mazda dealership found out it was a bad alternator and Mazda couldn't fix it for TWO MONTHS bc they had to wait on the part. I needed to leave the next morning and it was about 5pm. Called a few mobile mechanics in a last minute scramble and while there were several that said they could do it the next day Carlos said if I needed it that night he'd do it and he'd head out my way in 10 minutes!!!! 10 minutes!!!! He came to my house fixed the car, was super nice, and we made it to Oregon no problem no lights no drama! Thanks to Carlos willing to come over and fix my car super fast! Really appreciate him and saved his info for the future or if anyone I know needs a recommendation!! read more

He did a great job I'd probably call him again ! I am going to tell a few of my friends with cars about him because he arrived quick , he did the work fast and he did the job right most of all. That's what I like quality work , good job ! read more

I accidentally put gasoline in my diesel engine. I was 7 hours into a 26 hour drive and it was 4am! I called and Carlos was there in 15 minutes to help. He stayed and helped for 3 hours until it was running! He was extremely helpful and kind! I highly recommend!!! read more

I needed some fixes on my 2016 Fiat. Junior responded to my request at 9pm. on a Wednesday night. He was in my driveway making the repairs on Friday. He was very communicative and at a very fair price. I would recommend him to anyone looking for repairs. It's nice finding someone who knows what they are doing, friendly, and comes to your house. 5 stars! read more

He did a great job at a very fair price. Very professional. Will definitely keep his card on file for future business.

Well another part that Jay installed in my car went bad. This time it was the radiator. Very dissappointed in Jay not honoring his parts or work. After confirming from a reliable mechanic it is going to cost me another $500 to replace it. I am not sure if this review will be kept out there for the yelp community. I noticed that they have a way of not being put out there for folks to view. But I don't want folks to get taken like me and hope people will be alert. Always get it in writing before any work and get your own parts. Wait until all the work is done right before paying.Sometimes you trust folks to do the right thing and honor their work, but you learn that is not always to be counted on. read more

I needed to have my front wheel bearings replaced due to a loud growling sound, which I've heard before on other cars that had bad wheel bearings. There was also a rattle from one of the front wheel areas that sounded like a loose brake dust shield, again based on previous experience with other cars. I had to pay $80 for Junior to come out and inspect the issue, and after taking the car out for a test drive, was told the bearings and dust shield were fine, but the issue causing the noises was that I needed new brake rotors and pads, front and rear, due to them being warped, with the brake job totaling nearly $500 I knew this was nonsense, largely because the front/rear brake rotors and pads were completely replaced a year or two prior, with less than 10k miles on them, still performed perfectly (and did not behave at all like they were warped, as Junior suggested), and you could clearly see the rotors and pads had plenty of life left. I'm not a mechanic, but I have a decent understanding of how basic car parts should look and work. Not to mention the sound being made was a classic noise that's made by bad wheel bearings, not brakes. I bought the new bearings and brake dust shields myself and went elsewhere to have them installed, which completely resolved the growling and rattling sounds I was experiencing. There are also some leaks from the engine area that I later confirmed were completely misdiagnosed, but that was not the primary issue I needed to have resolved at the time. read more

I am totally happy with the service I received today. Not only were the people very nice. It was done in a very timely manner. And also thanks to Groupon I saved over $100.00 with the coupon from Groupons. NICE JOB DONE. Greatly appreciated your help with my 2009 hyundai sonata. I would most definitely bring my car back when I need something done. Thank you very much. Good job. And good people work here too. read more

Very responsive to inquiries. Very quick to arrive with replacement part and perform alternator replacement. (Next day after I inquired) Fair price and work. Honest. Would recommend! Thank you JayR! read more

I wanted to get a 90k maintenance on my car (2013 Kia Rio) and sent requests around to shops in Vegas, along with Jay. While shops gave me various quotes or told me to come in, Jay asked to call me right away and let me know he could take care of what I needed without a problem. With his great reviews I decided to give him a shot. Jay does a diagnostic of your car to figure out what you need (for $50 which he subtracts later from labor), then asks you to go purchase the parts (he recommends O'Reilly's over AutoZone) and he'll install everything for you. In my case he told me exactly what I needed and didn't need, the brands he recommends and that I also needed new brake pads and resurfaced rotors (which was accurate and I knew I needed to do soon anyway). Some things I thought I needed like the serpentine belt replaced, he mentioned were fine and didn't try to upsell me. After the diagnostic I went to go get the parts and he said he'd do the work first thing in the morning as he prefers to work during the day. The next morning he came to my place and went to work right away in my parking spot while I worked from a home. After a few hours he had everything done and gave me a final quote which is about the same as shops were quoting me for a 90k service only without the brakes and rotors. So he got me a great deal. He also came back later in the evening to fix one more issue on the car and waited for me to test drive it to make sure all went well. Jay was really cool and friendly and did a great job with my car. I'll definitely use and recommend him again. read more

Fast response via text message to my request. Fixed the issue with my vehicle and was out within an hour. First time using and was blown away by the service. Will definitely recommend to friends/family and will be my go-to mechanic for future needs. read more

I have called and he returned my call right away. Owner was very nice and polite. Although, i called for an estimate because someone had stolen my daughter's catalytic and i called for a catalytic replacement and have not had the chance to have him service our 98 4runner, yet . I haven't had a chance to take my daughters car to him. I thank you for being patient, and I apologize! Thank you! read more

I requested to get my brakes and rotors in one service and my battery and alternator in another. He was very quick both time and even priced matched. very good guy definitely will go to him before I go back to a shop trying to scam me into paying more. read more

Super quick to respond and very friendly. Straight forward guy and prices are very fair. I had a problem with my radiator so I wasn't comfortable driving the car just in case the car was going to overheat. He replaced my radiator hose and topped off the coolant as well. Car runs fine now and isn't overheating. I would definitely recommend Jay R Mechanic. read more

Jay came to my house since my truck wasn't running. He diagnosed the problem and said him and his partner Freddy could fix the problem. I towed the truck the same day, within a couple hours, Freddy called and said the truck was ready. It's been running smooth and am happy with the service. Thanks Kay and Freddy! Convenient, fast, reliable, affordable and communicative, would definitely recommend them. read more
