Mario is the best! Always transparent with parts and labor. He found and fixed my car issues incredibly quickly. Would confidently recommend his shop to anyone I know. read more

Mario is Very Professional and Courteous. My Wife and I have had our vehicle worked on at Mario's more than once regarding different issues. The Honesty we have experienced is refreshing and will not only keep us returning,but most certainly will keep us referring others. Something that was so impressive was when the work we requested was completed the parts that were replaced, the old parts, were returned to us without asking. This impressed us because of the integrity and honesty. Thank You Mario We will be back read more

Been driving my car for a couple weeks now, and it runs great! Mario is knowledgable, trustworthy, loyal, honest and all around a good human. He replaced my clutch on my 2009 Impreza Subaru and fixed other things that weren't right. But, he was also honest about price and things I needed that wasn't his expertise but referred me to someone else. IE my exhaust system. I drove off and my car shut down, I immediately took it back and he fixed it that day, but then he drove it to my house and back with me to make sure things were good! Mario let me know of future issues I may have but never pushed on unnecessary/"gotta do it now" issues (but he's right, I need to). Mario also made sure I got home safe since I'm down a hand and drive a manual. I absolutely recommend Mario and will continue to go to him and spread the word of an, "actual honest mechanic." Mario left me feeling like I wasn't scammed and I left with a better running car. He's actually here for you. Plus he's a brilliant mechanic. read more

I decided to go with Mario's business as his yelp reviews spoke highly of his work ethic and commitment to delivering timely repairs. He was able to work with me on repairing my car while it was parked at a hotel near O' Hare for airport parking and I was away from Illinois. He communicated with me through text/ phone calls to make sure I was aware of when he was arriving to repair my car and throughout the process updating me with any codes and repairs my vehicle needed. I truly appreciated his communication as I was stressed about being unable to drive my car upon my return. He delivered quick results at a fair price! He made sure to abide by any requests I had and again kept me well informed throughout the diagnosis and actual repairs. read more

Mario fixed my engine cover when it was leaking oil. While taking 3 hours to fix it he also fixed my return hose for my power steering. He said "on the house for the military." Mario's is a great mechanic and I'll be showing up soon for an oil change and tire alignment read more

His estimates are too much money and if you don't move your car out of the one of his many spots that you are parked in he will tell you to Move out of the spot. lol. It's as if he's soooo busy that he might lose a potential customer in the 5 min you are parked there. Mario is rude and I'm sorry to tell the public how I feel but when and if I'm rude I'm my business I will definitely hear about it! With this inflation and expensive prices we must all keep our attitudes in check. read more

Guy is a joke. Go anywhere but here. Unreliable, unreachable, unprofessional. You could do a better job buying the tools going on YouTube and doing it yourself. read more

Mario was extremely helpful when my skid plate fell off after driving through a flooded area right by his shop. I stopped in asking for help and he did not hesitate at all, even though it was freezing and rainy out. He fixed my skid plate and even put in 2 new screws that were missing. He was very helpful and so polite about it. Thank you Mario!! read more

Mario is a terrific and honest mechanic. Incredibly friendly guy and always wants what's best for you and your vehicle. I've been having my cars serviced with Mario for years and will continue to go back anytime one of my vehicles has an issue that needs to be addressed or requires service. He always completes the job in a reasonable amount of time and makes sure everything is done properly. High quality service at a fair price! read more

Mario did an amazing job fixing a terrible experience I had at a different mechanic shop. Fortunately someone referred me to Mario and he was a life saver! Very reliable and communicate clearly with me on what was the issue and the fix. read more

I came across Mario via a business referral and boy I have great things to say. I've been using Mario's services for a while now and I guarantee that this guy knows his stuff!! :-) Mario takes great care of his customers and most of his business comes From Word of Mouth. Well here I am speaking to the Yelp community and I wish to say that I 100% recommend Mario to be your car mechanic. He is very honest and upfront. Give him a shot, come meet him in person and you will see. read more

See all

My car was having issues with a few sensors and Mario was able to get it fixed ASAP! Very reliable service. A 10 out of 10 if you need a great mechanic who knows exactly what he's doing! Definitely coming back to him if my car has any other issues. Thanks Mario! read more

I made an appointment with Mario and I was only 30 minutes late! He didn't want to see me and canceled me! I came all the way from Temecula. I do not recommend him at all! read more

What a great an honest guy Mario was. Very affordable compared to the surrounding shops I recieved quotes from. He explained in detail to my non mechanical skills, exactly what was wrong with my 2008 Jeep Wrangler and what it would cost me. Can you believe he does not charge to give you an estimate? My coworkers recommended him and I recommend him to all of y'all! I'm bringing my other vehicle in very soon. Thanks Mario for your quick and honest service! read more

Mario's mobile and auto service is a great solution for anyone in need of quick quality service with an excellent attitude. I dealt with Mario directly and this guy is very good friendly and totally took care of me getting my car back on the road with a new alternator in 1 day. This was tremendously helpful to me as I was at the end of my vacation and ready to leave town. Then I jumped in my ride and gunned it back to Boulder Colorado with no issues at all. Thank you to Mario and his excellent team and a shout out to Ceaser for helping me as well. read more

Came in to see Mario for an oil change for the first time bc I was referred by a co-worker of mine. Excellent service, very friendly and great guy!! Had my oil change completed in a timely manner. Will return! Thank you Mario! read more

My car recently had an issue with the starter so I decided to go to Mario's, in only a few hours my car was back on the road and I cannot be more glad! Mario is a kind man and an honest mechanic he will give you the best price in town and only the highest quality service. read more

Amazing how fast and reliable Mario is! He has fixed my fuel pump leaked hoses/ cracked oil changes,(bmw/Nissan) I can go on and on about what else he has done. Great value service everything 10/10. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. read more

My old pickup truck broke down on my way to LA from Tijuana. I did some research and towed it to Mario's. Good decision. Mario was very friendly and upfront at all time during the process, he got the part needed and got me back on the road as soon as possible for a fair price. While I was at Oceanside, I tried to buy a used car and took it to Mario for a pre-purchase inspection. He detected major faults with the car and helped me avoid buying it. Thanks, Mario! read more

Mario and his crew are absolutely fantastic! Completely fair and reliable, I have worked with them over the years and every job is done right and at a very reasonable and fair cost. Can't recommend enough. Thank you Mario and will see you again next time we need help! read more

One star because I still believe Mario has potential, but is not knowledgeable enough on how to effectively run a business and lacks customer service. Mario is unprofessional, has horrible time management, is unorganized, overpriced, and untrustworthy. My boyfriend spoke highly of Mario, but said he did take long to fix cars. Given that he takes long I was skeptical, but we took our truck in for a smog system repair. He informed me that it'd be a quick fix and would call me so I could pick the truck up when it was done. He never called, so I called him and had to rush over before he closed after being informed last minute I had to pay with cash. Not the best experience, but we all have off days. Giving Mario and his shop the benefit of the doubt, we returned after experiencing an issue with the power steering. The part we needed was on back order so he said he ordered it and would call us as soon as it was delivered. This was in June, he said it would arrive around the first week of July. Never received a call, so we contacted him. He said it'd be arriving in a few days so we took the truck back on Monday to have it repaired and he said by Friday it would be done. Friday comes around and he hadn't even touched the truck. He over promised and undelivered AGAIN. After having us running around in circles for over a month, I finally confronted him about his lack of communication and asked him to not promise something he couldn't deliver. We just want honesty as we are reasonable people. He responded in a disrespectful manner and said I needed to understand he was under stress and had a lot of cars. Disappointing. Needless to say, after that I went and picked my car and the part up. On the receipt we realized he dropped the ball and had BARELY ordered it. Complete dishonesty. We ended up taking our truck to another shop where they treated us professionally, respectfully, and completed the job in a timely manner. Come here at your own risk. read more

We have been coming here for 5 years now. Unfortunately we moved out of the area but still travel to have Mario and his team fix any repairs. I finally met him in person today and I have to say he is professional and honest. He showed us the parts replaced and also went over the things we should get done. He takes care of his customers and thanks us for choosing his business!! 100% recommend this shop. read more

Mario did great work for us on my husband's Civic and it was a very fair price. We are very grateful, have spread the word to a lot of people, and we'll be back! read more

Mario's devotion to customer service and willingness to perform above and beyond shows his true character as a mechanic. Mario performed work on my 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse that had numerous oil leaks that others could not find or was charging way to much. From the beginning to end he displayed enthusiasm through hard work and dedication fixing my car making sure all leaks stopped giving me a sound mind driving this car to my next duty station I wouldn't have any oil leak issues. I never write reviews but felt like I have to for him letting others know how awesome he is along with the great quality work he does and the reasonable pricing he has. If I was not moving he would be the mechanic I would bring my car to. Thanks again Mario much respect.!! read more

Good prices. Please go here. My man was busy and I called him because it was an emergency and he fixed my car on the spot and even helped me get the part for it! Mario is a good and honest mechanic. Hard to find now adays. read more

My husband and I are new to the Oceanside area and needed a lot of work done on his truck and Mario went above and beyond to take care of us. Every single concern we had was taken care of without a doubt nobody will regret coming here. This will be the only place my husband and I will come to for future services for both our vehicles Thank you so much Mario for treating us like family not just customers. read more

Hands down the best bang for your buck around the Oceanside area! I went to countless shops around the area before finding Marios and being new to the area I really felt like there was really no competition between him and the other competitors. Mario's Mobil Auto Service didn't seem to just look at you like another number they actually seemed to care and kept me updated on the progress of my truck while it was being fixed. He even let me use his vehicle while he was fixing mine so that way I wouldn't be out of a vehicle! What mechanic would be that trusting and caring for their customers. If you're looking for the best priced and best work around town be sure to check out Mario's first! read more

I don't take my cars to anyone else. I have been to Mario on multiple occasions and I have always been very happy with the service I have received. He is knowledgeable and always explains the work that needs to be done and gives me options. We have a few old work trucks and even when I have taken my vehicles in last minute he does his best to accommodate us. I recommend him to all my friends and family. If your looking for an experienced, professional mechanic, look no further. Mario can get the job done. read more

I recently found Mario on Yelp, after searching for a trustworthy local mechanic. What a stand- up guy and great mechanic! Mario was able to repair an exhaust manifold leak ( 3 broken studs) that most shops wouldn't dare touch. He also was able to diagnose a pestering noise (ac clutch failing) that other shops misdiagnosed several times. Mario gave me an amazing price was thorough. I will definitely return to Mario for all my automotive repair needs! read more

Mario was referred to me by my brother. Mario is honest, his work is top notch and will not over charge you for anything you don't really need. He's work is great without paying the ridiculous dealer prices. I being a woman feel he won't take advantage of me. I will always take my cars to his shop. And recommend to anyone. read more

Service with a smile and the highest respect. Don't bother with anyone else. Mario's an electronic specialist and an overall expert in all things mechanical. And on top of that, he's a true gentleman. He genuinely helped me AND educated me on my vehicle. The type of man you'd invite over for Sunday lunch. read more

Mario's is a top notch mechanic! His shop does a great job of fixing your vehicles problems at a great price. Even took me back home instead of having to Uber! Great guy on top of it all. Highly recommend. read more

I'm so thankful to have been referred to Mario from a friend and coworker. My Tahoe was misfiring on the way to work. I was really in a jam. Mario told me to bring it right in without an appointment! I had some major engine trouble (cam shafts, lifters, headers...) no job is too big for him. He could've taken me to the cleaners like some mechanics do but he's about as honest a person as there is! He really took care of us. Thanks Mario!! read more

Great experience! YOU WONT REGRET BRINGING YOUR CAR HERE. As my first experience I'm totally satisfied! Mario is Honest and reliable. He was also the only mechanic that gave me a low cost service on changing my front and back brakes on my 2008 toyota yaris. I TOTALLY RECOMMEND HIM. He checked and changed my timing belt for free! My car feels like new! I will totally be coming back here when ever my car needs maintance..Thank you!! read more

A year ago I had a coolant hose break on my 2004 jaguar and I called around to a few shops for quotes on the part and labor with an expected wait tome of a week. lowest offer I got was $800. Was referred to Mario by a friend and he managed to work me into his schedule, less than 3 days later and only $290 My car was running better than it had in years. I've been going to his shop for everything I need since then and he always gives me honest advice and a fair price. As long as i live in the area I won't use another mechanic. read more

Honest and very professional! Plus Mario works on European cars like my Audi A4 and does great work! Replaced my water pump with oem part from the dealer . Highly recommend this shop. read more

I would highly recommend Mario's Mobil Auto Service. They are very helpful and were able to trouble shoot all my problems and get them all fixed. I am happy to have found an honest, friendly and reliable place to bring my vehicle. read more

Mario did good work on my 1997 Honda Civic HX. He provided an honest estimate for the numerous repairs needed and stuck to his word. He went above and beyond by calling after I picked up the car to verify it was working properly... which it was. Thank you Mario. read more

After having issues with my old car I was searching around mechanics and they were charging me my sons college fund. I found Mario and he quoted me not even half of what those other dumbasses wanted! He is an honest man and will tell you straight up what the problem is and what needs to get done! I definitely recommend him! I'm a girl and I knew I was going to get charged up the ass for my car but nope, Mario wouldn't care if you're a talking dog, He will tell you how it is and you can't beat his prices!! read more
