    Ryan met me at my place for a free diagnostic. Didn't try and up-sell me on anything…read more Professional and knowledgeable is all I have to say. We had a full vehicle tuneup on my wife's Camry and let's just just say it was nothing but stellar. Belts, plugs and full brake work done in 2 hours at our home. Great work! I'll be recommending him to friends/colleagues in the near future. Thanks again!

    Very disappointed with my experience with Ryan. My vehicle is a 2019 GMC Sierra, and I contacted…read morehim because my truck had a coolant leak and I already strongly suspected that the radiator needed to be replaced. Before coming out, he told me he would still need to diagnose it and charged me $115. After paying the $115 diagnostic fee, I was basically told exactly what I already knew, the radiator needed to be replaced. Then I was informed that he couldn't actually do the repair because the job required the A/C refrigerant to be recovered and he didn't have the equipment necessary to do that. His recommendation was for me to take the truck to a repair shop. My biggest issue is, if you're advertising yourself as a mobile mechanic/certified technician and charging $115 just to come diagnose a problem, I would expect you to either have the equipment necessary to perform common repairs or be upfront BEFORE charging the customer that you may not be equipped to complete the job. On top of that, I felt his labor quote was extremely high. He quoted me $700 JUST FOR LABOR to replace the radiator on my 2019 GMC Sierra. I ended up taking my truck to an actual radiator shop, and they charged me only $300 for the labor. That's a $400 difference for the same radiator replacement. So I essentially paid Ryan $115 to tell me I needed the radiator I had already told him I believed I needed, was quoted $700 in labor, and then was told he couldn't even perform the repair because he didn't have the necessary A/C equipment. Based on my experience, it left me feeling like collecting the diagnostic fee was more important than actually repairing my vehicle. I would not use this service again. I would strongly recommend asking exactly what equipment he has and whether he can actually complete your repair BEFORE agreeing to pay the $115 diagnostic fee.

    I had an amazing experience with YD Automotive Mobile Services! I was in the process of looking for…read morea family car and Yousri, the mechanic, went above and beyond by coming out to diagnose the vehicle I was considering. He was extremely honest, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything so I fully understood what was going on before making a decision. On top of that, Yousri was able to fix the AC on my current car something multiple other shops couldn't figure out. That alone says a lot about his skill and experience. Super reliable, professional, and genuinely helpful. I highly recommend YD Automotive Mobile Services and Yousri if you're looking for someone you can truly trust!

    I cannot recommend Y/D Automotive after my experience with their mobile repair service…read more I found them through Google and contacted them for an alternator replacement. I was quoted about $585 for parts and labor. A technician came to my location around 3:00 PM, removed my alternator, then discovered he had brought the wrong replacement part. After checking multiple auto-parts stores, I was told the correct alternator would be about $950 plus $175 installation. Since that was substantially more than the original quote, I declined and asked only that my original alternator be reinstalled and the vehicle returned to the condition it was in before the work began. That did not happen. The technician spent several more hours trying to reinstall the alternator and drive belt but could not get the belt back on. I even spent about an hour trying to assist. Around 10:00 PM I told him to stop for the night. I paid him $60 for his time and was told another technician could come finish putting the vehicle back together. My vehicle was left undrivable overnight. The next morning Y/D initially told me someone would call back within 10-15 minutes to arrange another technician. That call did not come. I was later told all technicians were booked and someone could come the following morning around 10:00 AM. I could not leave my vehicle undrivable for another full day, so I hired an independent automotive technician to inspect it. He found that the drive-belt tensioner operating point/bolt had been stripped and could no longer be properly operated. I received an estimate of $449.65 to replace the tensioner assembly alone, separate from the alternator repair I already needed. When the independent technician returned to address the belt issue, he discovered that my original alternator had also been reinstalled incorrectly. It was not properly seated, and one mounting bolt was misaligned and not positioned through its proper mounting point. I am including a photo of that condition. According to the independent technician, the misaligned alternator prevented the belt from fitting correctly around the accessory system. He advised that the stripped tensioner was consistent with excessive force being applied while attempting to install the belt with the alternator improperly positioned. He also advised that the tensioner otherwise appeared to function normally apart from the stripped operating point. Once he properly seated and aligned the alternator, the belt could be installed correctly. The technician has agreed to document his findings in writing and, if necessary, testify regarding what he personally observed and his professional opinion. What disappoints me just as much as the mechanical work is how this was handled afterward. I repeatedly gave Y/D Automotive opportunities to resolve this directly. Despite already paying additional inspection and corrective-service costs, I initially asked only for the $449.65 cost of replacing the damaged tensioner. I specifically told them I was not asking them to pay for the alternator I already needed, my additional diagnostic expenses, corrective work, lost business income, transportation issues, or my time. I later made an even broader attempt to resolve this. After researching the business, I came to believe the technician who worked on my vehicle may also be the person operating Y/D Automotive. Because I am a small business owner myself and understand that people can get in over their heads, I offered to waive the $449.65 request entirely in exchange for an honest account of what happened, acknowledgment of the damage, and a sincere apology. That message was sent through multiple business communication channels, and some showed as read. I received no response resolving the matter. At this point I am beginning the formal process of pursuing recovery of my documented damages and expenses. I would have preferred to resolve this directly, but I am not willing to absorb damage to my vehicle and the resulting costs. Everyone makes mistakes. What matters is how someone handles them afterward. Based on the work performed on my vehicle and the way this situation has been handled, I absolutely cannot recommend Y/D Automotive. I am including supporting photographs and documentation where the platform allows so readers can evaluate the circumstances for themselves.

    So a friend of mine had been talking about this place and how he wanted to take his vehicle there…read more Im surprised that more places like this don't exist, because you can ALWAYS get parts cheaper than what most dealerships or large mechanic chains sell them for. Most people either don't know that, or are too lazy to look around online to find something cheaper. Also, a lot of places wont take outside parts and install them on your vehicle. This is how they make money off of you. Take notes people!! I needed to get my rack and pinion replaced, so I called to get a quote. The guy I talked to on the phone gave me a quote that was actually cheaper than I was expecting. So I take my own part over there (bandera location), and go inside. The one guy I talked to (Martin I believe) was very professional. And I say that because a lot of places you go to...the service people act as if you HAVE to get work done there. They got my vehicle in and got to work. It did take a bit longer than expected but here's why. During the installation they found other stuff that needed to be fixed. Surprise surprise, right?. He took me outside and showed me what needed to be fixed. However, what set this guy apart from most others is that he didn't try to force me to get anything. Most places will make it seem like your vehicle is about to blow up if you don't get a new air filter. Martin showed me what I needed, got me quotes, but didn't pressure me. He sat there patiently as I cursed and chose which ones I wanted to replace. I can only give them 3 stars tho. After they installed the new part and I drove off...my vehicle started making a new noise. a loud one at that. I took it back to have them look at it again. there was something they didn't remove during the install that was rubbing against something else and making a bad sound. I didn't like that. BUT...the problem I went there for in the first place was fixed and everything is good.

    I brought my vehicle in for an electrical issue with a clear estimate of $750. The actual problem…read morewas a minor fuse and an anti-theft system reset. Instead of honoring the original quote, the shop demanded $1,500. Yeah... that's completely reasonable. Paying $1,500 for a fuse and an anti-theft reset that should've been a fraction of that is absurd. The vehicle was fixed quickly but the actual price did not match the verbal quote and was nearly double. Be cautious--make sure you get agreements in writing and confirm final costs before leaving your vehicle. They're a predatory business.
