They charged me full price for a smog check even though they knew I couldn't pass the last check and the same errors were still present.

UPDATE in response to the owners reply!…read more When my vehicle was first diagnosed, I was presented with two options: replacing the cylinder head or replacing the engine. The cylinder head repair was described as the more economically reasonable option at the time, and I relied on that professional assessment in making my decision. The repair took over one month to complete, and the cylinder head was sent to an external machine shop. Although outsourced, the repair was coordinated, billed, and released under his shop's responsibility. I proceeded with this shop because I needed reliable transportation for work and was informed the repair would take approximately a month. The availability of a loaner vehicle allowed me to continue working during that extended repair period, which was a significant factor given the timeline. After the vehicle was returned to me, it broke down on the freeway. I was then informed that the cylinder head could not be reprocessed and that the only remaining option was to purchase a replacement engine. At that stage, I no longer had a functioning vehicle, so this was not an elective decision but the only viable remedy presented. Before purchasing the replacement engine, I consulted with (David the owner) regarding where to source it and whether I should proceed. I relied on his confirmation before moving forward. While labor was not charged for the engine installation, no warranty was provided on that work. Regardless of warranty terms, the obligation to disclose safety related defects prior to releasing a vehicle remains. In his comment, he states that engine mount replacement was recommended. I was not provided with any written estimate, documentation, or verbal recommendation to replace the engine mounts prior to installation or before the vehicle was released. The condition of the mounts was identified only after I obtained an independent inspection due to ongoing noise concerns. That inspection revealed multiple broken engine mounts and a severely worn transmission mount. If mount replacement had been clearly recommended before release, it would have been documented and addressed at that time. My concern has consistently been transparency, communication, and the release of a vehicle with undisclosed safety related defects. This response reflects my experience and the events as they occurred.

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.

We couldn't drive it in to any mechanic and that's when we searched for a mechanic that goes to your location. Jesus came by still did a search for the problem with his tool and we came to an agreement that it was the alternator. He got to work right away and and fixed the problem . Yesterday he stopped by my home again to change our brakes on both trucks Nissan Frontier and Chevy Traverse. I am so happy that he was fast and consistent with his great work. I believe we found a trustworthy mechanic for all of our future maintenance and car needs. Thank you!

I was in a…read morehorrible freeway accident in Los Angeles while driving back to San Diego, and we had only purchased the car a couple months earlier, so I was devastated. They did an incredible job with the repairs. The car looks and feels like it was never in an accident. The team was responsive throughout the process, the workmanship was excellent, and everything was repaired using new manufacturer parts. The paint match and finish are flawless. Allstate listed them as a preferred repair shop, and I am so glad I chose them. I feel completely safe driving my car again and could not be happier with the results. A special thank you to Nick for personally delivering our car back to us. With a baby at home and the car in LA, it would have been very difficult to retrieve it. That level of care meant so much to our family. Highly recommend.

From the moment I walked in, the team was professional, transparent, and genuinely helpful. They took the time to explain the entire repair process, kept me updated throughout, and handled everything with my insurance, which made a stressful situation so much easier. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations. My car looks brand new again--like nothing ever happened. The attention to detail was incredible, and you can tell they take pride in what they do. What stood out the most was their communication and honesty. There were no surprises, no upselling--just great service and a team that truly cares about their customers. I highly recommend this shop to anyone needing repairs. If you're dealing with the stress of an accident, this is the place you want to go.

Horrible customer service from the Owners son. A Performance Shop brought my G80 M3 to get MT Tires…read moreinstalled here and they later sent me pictures that my Wheel has been scratched. This scratch was not on any area that could have been scratched by me or the performance shop. The scratch is in the Wheel well, the only logical explanation is it was scratched upon removing and installing the new tires. When I reached out to the son of the owner, so they can explain what had happened or if they can get it repaired. He immediately became defensive saying he's not fixing shit and it wasn't him. I take great care of my car, and I most definitely know this was him doing a careless job, when handling my wheel. The scratch isn't anything major, but it's the principle of running a business and being able to accept when you fuck up & offering to make it right especially after being a repeat customer for years. At most it would've been a $200 repair if that, but instead he rather shit talk and cuss at a loyal customer who's brought multiple cars to him in the past. If you're considering bringing your car here, think twice about it. If they damage your car, they'll deny they did it and pretty much tell you to fuck off. Instead go to a different shop that values their customers and their cars.
