Jesse is the reason my cat is alive. Last weekend, during the Garden Grove toxic chemical evacuation, my tuxedo cat decided that the undercarriage of my cousin's Tesla Model Y was a great hiding spot. It was not. He was wedged in there for 12 hours with no food, no water, and zero litter box access. He was absolutely losing it. I ran through every option. Fire department? Busy with the actual chemical explosion rattling all of OC, fair. Animal control? Ghosted me. My cousin, currently out of the country, tried Tesla Roadside Assistance through the app. Tesla's answer: their technicians are not trained to rescue animals. Noted, but deeply unhelpful in the moment. Two other mechanics passed too. Jesse was my third Yelp attempt and my last real option. He showed up within two hours, no fuss, and got straight to work. He tried everything - the frunk, underneath, removing the right wheel - methodically working different angles for an hour and a half because my cat had chosen the most inconvenient possible position to be chonky in. Jesse stayed patient the entire time and got him out safely. My cat is home. He is fine. He is completely unbothered, as cats are. Jesse showed up when nobody else could. That is not something I will forget. Oh, and his prices are insanely reasonable. If you need a mechanic who will actually show up and problem-solve, Jesse is your guy. read more

J's Mobile Mechanic - rescued by Jesse - Auto Repair Near Me

I paid Jesse $120 toward motorcycle service, and apparently accepting payment was the only part of the job he was interested in completing. I had ordered a part and was waiting for it to arrive, so about a month passed. During that entire time, Jesse never contacted me to ask whether the part had arrived or to follow up on the work I had already paid him to do. I eventually had to reach out to him myself. Over the following three weeks, I sent multiple text messages and called several times, all of which were ignored. After getting nowhere, I called from a different number--and suddenly Jesse answered. His excuse was that he had been "busy." I asked him to send me my money back and he hung up and blocked my number. In total, nearly two months passed after he took my money with no communication, no follow-up, and no attempt to complete the service. Being busy may explain a delayed response. It does not explain ignoring a paying customer for over two months while continuing to keep their money. That is not poor time management; it is poor business practice. There was an $80 diagnostic fee, so technically I am only out $40. Financially, it is not a huge loss. Professionally, however, it says everything I need to know about this business. A reputable business does not take payment, fail to complete the agreed-upon service, ignore every attempt at communication, and then offer excuses only after being reached from a number it does not recognize. The motorcycle needed a diagnosis, but the bigger problem turned out to be the business itself: unreliable, unresponsive, and completely lacking in accountability. I would not trust Jesse with my motorcycle again, and I certainly would not recommend paying him anything upfront. read more

As you can see by the other reviews, Jesse the owner needs to improve his organization and communication to run his business better. My experience was called to book on Monday morning, quoted the price based on easy to describe work and an appointment for Wednesday at 8AM. So I adjust my schedule and am ready. No show, no answer calls or texts until a call at 930 - where he apologizes for issues on Tuesday and will show up at 5PM. Fine. I'll adjust my evening plans too. An organized person would have adjusted plans and communicated Wednesday if they had issues/delays Tuesday. Then, at 2PM calls back and says looking more like 530PM. And then he says... oh? Did I give you a price already? Oh that's actually a lot of work and says it'll actually cost 60% more. That was enough to call it quits. While I can't speak to his mechanic abilities, he fell short on: 1) being able to accurately understand and estimate work before quoting, or worse, stick to his quote when he gets busy 2) ability to plan his schedule and communicate reasonably. I hope he learns from this and other experiences and reaches his potential through better consistency. read more

Jesse was great... Needed the AC to be looked at and possibly Freon refilled. Jesse returned my call in a timely manner worked on the AC and did a brief inspection. After showing me little things he noticed upon inspection, we agreed for him to return to address those things. Took the car out for a pretty distance after the job was done... AC colder, engine feels smoother and overall feel of driving the car was great. Will be calling him again for future tune-up's. read more

Really surprises me that you have time to post a long comment on a Yelp review, yet after three weeks of ignoring my calls and texts, you still can't take a moment to explain what's going on to me directly. That alone shows the type of person you are and how you treat your customers. I have screenshots of our entire conversation that I'll be attaching so everyone can see the lies you're telling. I have never gotten hostile with you I've been patient and sure I was bothered by you changing the story line every hour I have not once yelled or been unprofessional with you like I said I have all our chat history for everyone to see for themselves and see how you are just making up things to make yourself look better. To start, I told you from the beginning that I did NOT want to replace the axle. The boot just torn, and it didn't need replacing-- even Toyota recommended simply rebooting it since my truck only has 15k miles. So I'm not sure why you're lying and changing the story now. The boot and axle were both inspected by Toyota before hand they said I should just replace the boot as soon as i got a chance. As It can fully tore and grease could leak out so I've had it sitting since then to play it safe so you saying the axle was already worn is just a straight up lie. You even said being it's a new truck you shouldn't have to replace the whole axle when you showed up. As for the lug nut, I never gave you permission to damage it like you're claiming. I came outside and you were already hammering on it, struggling to take the key off. You told me it wouldn't be an issue and that once you reinstalled it, it would come right off with a couple of hammer hits -- which did NOT happen. Good thing I stopped you, because who knows what else you would've damaged. You also installed a $160 aftermarket CV axle that you purchased from O'Reilly. I'll be attaching the screenshot of that as well so everyone can see. And no, you did NOT arrive at my place "near midnight." You arrived at 9:25 PM -- I have proof of that too. The reason you were there until almost midnight was because you destroyed the threading and then sat there for almost an hour and a half trying to figure out how to fix it. I tightened the clamps because you were trying to install the axle exactly how you brought it, with the clamps loose. I told you they weren't going to hold, and you said you couldn't get them any tighter and that it was "fine." So yes, I took it upon myself to fix them because you were trying to take shortcuts to get the job done. For reference, my OEM axle costs $450 after tax from the dealership -- not including install and $70 I also spent on the rebooting kit that was also "thrown away". The one you installed only costs $160. So yes, I have already filed a police report and I am starting a court claim. See you in court. And thanks for showing everyone how you treat your customers. read more

Jesse was great -- very personable and knowledgeable. He quickly diagnosed my AC issue and explained that the condenser needed to be replaced. It took a little time to get the parts in, but once they arrived, he came back and even applied the $80 inspection fee toward the repair. Now my AC blows like Arctic wind -- super cold! The best part was the convenience. Since I work from home, Jesse came right to me, which saved me from having to drop off my car anywhere. I'll definitely be using his services again in the future! I have a 2002 RAV4 read more

J's Mobile Mechanic - brand new condenser from Toyota OEM - Auto Repair Near Me

Fast, professional, and honest mechanic. My car started overheating in Brea. J was here in about in hour, during that time he kept updating me with his current call and updating me with an ETA. Upon arrival he got to diagnosing the car. Within a couple of minutes he had an answer. He then made a parts list went to oreillys and got to work. He was done within an hour. After he was done he made sure to inspect my car and tell me what else it could use for it to be up to par. read more

Tesla Upper & Lower control arms replacement, did a great job, no more squeaky front end , recommended A ++*

Jesse was amazing! I messed up doing my own oil change and ended up over torquing the oil drain pan bolt, so my bolt wouldn't stay in. I made an appointment with him the night prior at 10pm and he promptly came out the next day at 8:30AM to fix the issue. He retapped the threads I had stripped out and fixed it for me. He also made sure to drop my oil pan and clean out the metal shavings so they wouldn't get into the engine and put a new gasket on when he reinstalled it. He also completed my oil change. He was able to finish the work in less than 2 hours too! Thank you Jesse for your great help! You saved me! read more

I gave you 3 stars with an opportunity to do right. You never responded. My mechanic, daughter and myself have reached out to you by text and phone a dozen times without response. Mistakes are acceptable. Failure to be accountable is not. This is a personality trait. I highly advise people to stay clear of J's mobile mechanic. He didn't complete the job when he said he would. Then he didn't put it back together correctly causing my daughter to brake down on the side of the road costing an additional $600 in repairs. This person is not ethical. read more

This is my first time going to Jesse and I have to say that he did an amazing job. I had trouble with my AC for a long time and I was dreading getting it fixed. He was able to find the problem quickly. He diagnosed my my car for $120. When I went to the dealership, they estimated it to be around 400 just to diagnose it. With Jesse if you do end up going with him the diagnosis is free. He also knows exactly what he's doing. If you were to go to the dealership, it would cost you double and they take your car for at least a day. By the way, it only took him 2 hours to fix it. The dealership also acts like they have no idea what's wrong with your car and it's really frustrating to deal with. Jesse comes straight to you so you don't pay that much on hours. My dad is a ex mechanic but I don't know much about fixing cars so I thought he was charging a lot, but he actually has very fair prices. I went to him because my dad is a mechanic, but he doesn't have the manifold to find the problem. For your own convenience schedule a day with him when you don't need to use your car. He's very busy. He gets a lot of emergency calls but he's still very reliable. He's really easy to work with too he has great communication. He also has a really good hourly rate. He tells you upfront what the complications can look like. Please take into account that he works everyday and is constantly doing jobs but still manages to get it done quick. Big thank you to Jesse for being honest and so hard-working!!!! read more

I can't recommend this company enough. Jay helped me over the phone and was honest about quotes and pricing.

Had an oil change and tire rotation by J this morning and the experience was fantastic! J came in the time window we agreed on, was prompt and super fast with the service. He went above and beyond to discuss all of the little things he would recommend I do to keep my car in good running order. Zero pressure to buy an air filter or do other services. He really made it feel like a friend took a look at my vehicle and then recommended what he would do if it was his car. Plus he came to my house on a Saturday morning, and was done before I could finish my coffee. And it was an extremely fair price, especially since I got to sit on my couch in my pj's while he did his thing. Beats the hell out of sitting in a shop for 3 hours! Amazing experience and will recommend him to all of my friends moving forward! read more

My second time calling J and everything was top notch once again. Changed all the front control arms on my Audi A4. He noticed there was a crack in the spindle so recommended replacing it. He was able to track one down on another Audi at a junkyard so that it was original. He went to the junkyard to take it off and then returned to install it. Very thorough, honest and on time. Will definitely use him again in the future! read more

I hired J's Mobile mechanic to replace my truck's timing belt and change the oil on April 20, 2026. At first I got a timely communication leading to the set appointment date and time. On the day of the appointment, the owner and mechanic, Jesse, was late by almost an hour. He had some excuses but since I'm just going to be at home, I let it slide. Once he finished, I started the truck and it seemed good. The following day, April 21, I went out to buy something as it was my wife's birthday. I noticed that the AC is malfunctioning, turning on and off. I never had a problem with my truck's AC. After less than a mile driving, the check engine light came on. I called Jesse to come back ASAP as I had an appointment that day. He said he will. When I got home, I checked the truck and discovered that there's some leak coming from the truck. I found out that the radiator lower hose was rubbing to one of the pulleys and the pulley cut a hole into the hose. I called Jesse again to tell him to bring the replacement hose. When he came on April 22nd, he promptly changed the hose. When I asked him what happened, he said the hose did not slide far enough and it was his fault. The AC ground wire was loosely connected and he said he broke the original screw and put a zip tie to hold it in place! After many tries of attempting to replace the screw, he finally put the AC ground together. Next was the issue of the check engine light. I asked him to scan the problem. He said it was a timing issue. He was the one who changed the timing belt and he said everything was set right. He guessed it might be in the timing ??? I forgot the name of the part. He promised he will come back but assured me the truck is ok to drive. After many text messages both on Yelp and his personal phone, as well as phone calls that went into voice mail, Jesse did not respond. I told him I'm giving him a chance to respond and fix his work before I report to BBB or Yelp. As of this writing, May 1, he has not contacted me yet. As a young mechanic and pretty new business, I was willing to give J's Mobile Mechanic my business to help him. After my experience with him, I will never recommend J's Mobile Mechanic to anyone. read more

He did a great job at a very reasonable price. My car would start but then stop running. He spotted the issue and fixed it. Car runs great again. I would definitely recommend J's Mobile to anyone! read more

Good communication. Got the job done as needed! He also gave good advice on what might be needed in the future with my vehicle and actually showed me instead of just telling me. read more

Had a oil leak / valve gasket issue late at night and Jesse was able to come out right away and check it out. He quickly identified the issue through various tests and was able to sort out the issue right away. As someone that is not too mechanically inclined, he is patient enough to explain each step and reasoning behind it. Overall he is upfront with pricing, flexible with time schedules and provides quality service. I would definitely recommend Jesse to whoever is looking to service their vehicle. read more

Just got a quick but urgent job I needed done. Satisfied with his work. Will definitely contact him again for future work.

Can say for certain, this place is top notch. Jesse was super friendly and thorough when explaining what's wrong and providing helpful feedback to better know my car myself. The value of the service was by far better than any other mechanic or mobile service in the area. Brake pads changed in 30 min at a great price, when other places quoted me twice as much for way longer. For needing a quick repair and or anything else car related, this is where I'm going. read more

Got in touch with Jesse through Yelp and we were able to schedule something for the following day. The starter in my car went out and Jesse provided me with a quote with parts and labor at a very affordable price and all in the comfort of my own home! I highly recommend J's Mobile Mechanic and will definitely be contacting Jesse again if I or anyone I know anyone needs fast, friendly and convenient service. read more

Called him to help change my oil and spark plugs. He did it for a great price, was fast and efficient. He outpriced every other mechanic I had reached out to. Quick in and out. When he took out my old spark plugs. He noticed another issue that my car has been having and gave me a great quote to get it replaced. He also noticed my coolant was low and swung by O Reily's to top off my coolant too! Great service, professional, and friendly. Will definitely be calling him to get that other part fixed. Very honest mechanic. Paid him $201 to get high mileage full synthetic oil change, spark plug replacement, and coolant top off. read more

My regular mechanic had said our valve cover was leaking/cracked after a recent oil change. Quoted $540 total (parts/labor.) Jesse did it for $250 and in under an hour at my home. He was courteous and right on time. Will be happy to utilize his skills again and can recommend his service. read more

Had some work done on a 68 Mustang - radiator installation, ball joints replaced and switch out the idler arm. Quoted me fairly and gave him the job. Great communication and understanding of the tasks. Punctual with outstanding service going above and beyond. Had a bit of an issue installing the radiator but his experience found a quick solution and got the job done. It's been months (this is a late review) and have had no problems. I will be hiring for any future repairs. Definitely recommend. read more

Quality of service he provided was a phenom. Service requested early and he was able to accommodate me same day. And the value. Was affordable I did not have to haggle with the price because he gave out the best pricing. he even went and beyond to do a five point inspection which I thought was a bonus. read more

Jesse was very nice and helpful in my car situation. I had a shop overprice and recommend to replace my AC condenser saying it was cracked. Jesse checked it for me and recharged it for me promptly and was honest about what the car needed so overall I didnt actually need a replacement. He explained why in his expertise and opinion. I highly recommend him especially since he is a mobile, when you work alot its hard to drop your car off places. Thank you Jesse! read more

I really didn't want to leave a bad review for this kid .. but I requested a diagnostic and estimate for a tire blow out . He came out and took my tire off and basically told me he has to go back home and research the exact parts names and charged a diagnostic fee witch is fine ... ive reached out multiple time and the messages were seen .. I never received an estimate or part names .. so he basically charged to take tire off and tell me what I already knew witch was nothing .. I was hopeful for this kid .. he has alot to learn about business . .. I would not waist my time again . Keep that 80 bucks .. hope it served you well .. read more

Jesse was amazing he diagnosed the problem very quickly based off the little information I gave him was thorough in his explanation and how to fix the problem which was the water pump and thermostat with lots of additional coolant. Parts were included. Left with some recommendations definitely will be using his services again read more

Jesse did a great job on a very difficult project at an awesome price. Highly reccommend!!

We contacted Jesse to fix the brake booster on our 2012 Prius. Apparently it is a difficulty part to find. Jesse went above and beyond to track down parts for us. The dealer wanted $6k to fix it (and leave the car for 3 days). Jesse did it for under $2k. He's a very responsible person and fixed everything we asked for and because he is mobile, we didn't have to take it anywhere and leave the car! He came over and worked on it at our home!!! Thanks Jesse! read more

When he got the job. he stated parts are included. but when he finished showed me receipts where I had to pay 39 for parts. Well then why didn't he leave funnel which I purchased. He should have shown me the gaskets he took off the car plus oil pan. Two weeks went by started leaking again. Stopped put another liquid to stop. Now he mentioned something that transmission fluid was leaking took care of to another transmission shop he said it's not leaking red leaking motor oil I take it as very fishy. Let's make your recommendations be exact quote me 1,000. read more
