I had a great experience with Mobile Brake Guy. He replaced the brake pads and rotors (front and rear) on my 2018 Audi S5 Sportback, and the service was top-notch from start to finish. What really stood out is that he's honest and not your typical mechanic trying to upsell you. While he was doing the job, he pointed out a couple other small things that needed to be tightened up and took care of them--no pressure, just looking out and making sure everything was safe and done right. Best part: he comes to your house, which is huge. In today's world where it feels like everyone is trying to get over on you, this was a refreshing experience--professional, straightforward, and quality work. Definitely a repeat customer from here on out. Highly recommend! read more

wonderful automotive professional he is highly skilled, professional, compassionate and kind read more

I'm in a cast and requested a quote for a battery replacement. The response I got from him was to Google it. His quote was also triple the price of others here in Redondo. Do with that what you will, South Bay. read more

This guy is trustworthy and knowledgeable in his field of work, had a water pump issue on SBC 350 and he swapped it out in my driveway fast and efficient, great customer service and professionalism with fair honest prices. read more

I was in the market to get my brakes changed and seriously, it was turning into a full on headache. I went to multiple places across the South Bay, and every time I thought I had it figured out, I'd get hit with the runaround. Mechanics quoting one price over the phone and then changing it when I showed up... others trying to convince me I needed front and rear rotors when some said just the front. It started feeling like a scam no matter where I went. Thank goodness I kept looking. I came across Mobile Brake Guy on Yelp and decided to give David a call. From the first conversation, I got a good vibe. I explained my situation, and he walked me through what I most likely needed. He wasn't pushy, just super helpful. I waited a couple of days to get my pads and rotors delivered and then scheduled a time with David. He was super flexible with scheduling. When he showed up, the good vibe continued, professional, friendly, and really knowledgeable. He walked me through everything he was doing and even gave a quick lesson on how the brakes and rotors actually work (which I appreciated). I couldn't believe how fast he worked, he had the old rotor and brakes off and the new ones on in what felt like no time. Honestly, if I hadn't been asking him a million questions, he probably could've finished in under 20 minutes. That really opened my eyes to how much other places overcharge for "labor hours." And here's the part that really stood out: I had also bought rear brake pads just in case, but after looking at them, David told me they still had a lot of life left. He even showed me a side-by-side of the old vs. new so I could see for myself. What mechanic does that?! He could've easily taken the extra money and swapped them out anyway, but he didn't. That level of honesty is rare. The price we agreed on never changed. No surprises. No shady upselling. Just straight up solid work and customer service. If you're tired of being jerked around by overpriced shops and want someone who actually cares and knows what they're doing, David is your guy. I'll definitely be calling him again when I'm ready to do the brakes on my other car. Thanks again, David. Seriously appreciate your work and integrity. Highly recommend! read more

Mobile Brake Guy is the best in the business, and I highly recommend using his services! I called him today and the quickness of his response and detail to helping me out with my rotor and brakes was exceptional. He's also the most fair and honest person, making me a client for good. read more

Dave is awesome! He is a true mobile mechanic not somebody that says their mobile but really has a shop. Quality individual absolutely fair pricing and is stand-up guy. Very honest. read more

I have to start by saying that there's always a pleasure when you get someone professional and extremely honest to do your job. David check my brakes and determined that I did not need a change of pads but just a deep cleaning. He proceeded in describing what exactly I had to do in order to solve my squeaking issue. As an added favor he checked my engine compartment for rodent intrusion and went all the way finding a nest and potential short. This is not only being professional but is going above and beyond what someone would expect from someone called for your brakes also his pricing is absolutely the best I could find in the area. Highly recommend! read more

A++ If you need break repairs done look no further. Professional, Quick, Nice and most importantly - Honest! Will tell you like it is, no BS. read more

Dave helped us when our electronic brake malfunctioned. Though it turned out to be an ABS issue, Dave was able to disengage the electronic brake that was stuck in mode enabling us to safely get the car to our Mazda dealership. He responded quickly, was very reasonable in his pricing and is clearly an honest and reliable guy. Not surprised by all the other 5-star reviews and will certainly use his services again. read more

I made an appointment for him to come to my house on Saturday and check my brakes, and he was right on time. He determined that all I needed was front brake pads, and he had it all fixed and up and running in about 20 minutes. And all for a very reasonable price! He's also great to talk to and tells it how it is. What an amazing and honest specialist. Will definitely use him for future Vehicle needs. read more

David really helped me out. I stripped some screws installing some parts and he was able to remove them in 10 minutes and for a very fair price. He has a really good attitude and a pleasure to be around. read more

If i could give dave 6 stars i would. Great guy, gives it to u straight, and saves you unnecessary work on ur car. He came by, changed out the brake pads when the dealership said i needed more done. Definitely calling him again! read more

Having a hard time with shops over pricing you and give you the run-around? Let me tell you! Dave could not be a nicer guy. Super fast, funny and professional. He showed up after we chatted on the phone, with a big smile and ready to change my breaks. Started right away and was done after about 20-30min right outside my house. (Said I just needed break pads since the rotors were fine) so refreshing to deal with a genuine, honest, dude . I recommend him any day. read more

Really nice guy and generous with thoughtful advice over the phone. He understood the issue quickly without even seeing it, and the guidance was genuinely useful. I'll absolutely work with him and would highly recommend. read more

Outstanding Service - Twice Now! I've used Dave twice now and both times have been excellent. He's honest, professional, and gets the job done right the first time. It's super convenient having someone come to you, and he still manages to deliver better service (and better prices) than most shops. No upsells, no runaround--just straightforward, quality work. Definitely my go-to for any brake issues from now on. Highly recommend! read more

Great and honest man. Gets to the point and definitely awesome customer service. Highly recommended.

He just came to check my car's brakes and I told him about the services that were recommended at a local shop. He checked things for himselff, recommended some work and did it very quickly. He let me know other things that will need attention in the future, but can safely be postponed. He showed up a few minutes before the planned time and I paid him exactly what he had estimated. He saved me time, money and grief. I will be using him again in the future. read more

fantastic experience with Dave. Showed up early, worked quickly while being quite friendly and professional. Excellent service and highly recommended. read more

Would recommend 100%. My car battery died and I Didn't want to deal with getting a jump or get towed. I told Dave my make and model of my car, he went and bought the battery for me and installed it in minutes. Great service and great pricing! read more

Great experience! Response was quick and easy to communicate with, very transparent, very affordable, very reliable, overall a good guy. A vehicle situation is very stressful to start with, we found the qualities he offers takes that stress out. I would definitely recommend. read more

David is the Santa Clause mechanic. I can tell he is such a giver. He made my experience easy and comforting with his honest and informative communication. David assessed my brake pad situation and fixed it promptly while engaging in vibrant conversation. His passion for his work is evident, and I trust him completely. Highly recommend! Also he can fix anything and if he cant he'll recommend you someone he knows he trusts will do honest business with you. Thank you again David! :) read more

Dave is AMAZING!!! He was recommended by multiple friends who all raved about his service + expertise; Now I understand why. Not only is he super knowledgeable and efficient, but he is honest, kind, and a total blast to chat with. He took the time to teach me about my car, why it operates the way it does, and how to care for it better. (This is my first Mercedes, which is quite different than vehicles I've owned in the past). I wasn't 100% sure why it was overheating, but he took one look under the hood and told me the water pump needed to be replaced, as well as my fan clutch. He then proceeded to show me and explain why. He was also willing to order/pick up and bring all the parts necessary for the repair to my home. On top of making everything super easy for me, Dave literally saved me more than $1k (quote from the local shop down the road vs what he charged) AND I didn't have to have my car towed anywhere. My "Benny" is running smoother than ever and so am I. It may sound cheesy to some, but Dave also provided some words of wisdom and encouragement that I appreciated more than can be expressed, (that I won't forget). I'd been having a particularly rough few weeks. One story involved an elephant and a great perspective for when you're feeling overwhelmed. In short: Dave is a *WONDERFUL* person (&&& Southbay local) who truly cares about others, and does a fantastic job. I feel very lucky to have been referred to him and I will be paying it forward / sharing his info with everyone I know + come across who will eventually need it. If I could give 1,000,000 stars I would! read more

Great communication and service! This was the second car we've had him work on, won't be the last either. Honest and very helpful.

Wow exceptional customer service called David yesterday for brake fluid service and he was prompt with getting back to me and came to meet me the very next day! He is so honest with his customers literally came over to help me reset my computer for my bmw 740i and let me know that I didn't need service yet and didn't charge me at all just to give me peace of mind! This man deserves all the business in the world they don't make business owners this honest anymore his hundreds of 5 star reviews speak for itself! He will be my forever auto specialist from now on 10000 stars if yelp had 10000 stars to give this awesome business owner!! read more

this man single-handedly saved the day -- long story short i went to this terrible shop called american tire depot in torrance. they claimed to have changed the brake pads but they didn't. david drove out to me, assessed the problem, and fixed it for half the price all under 60 minutes. communicating with him was easy as well since we could text. tl;dr give this guy a call if you need any car-related things done right at a fair price read more

Mobile Brake Guy - mini cooper brake - Auto Repair Near Me

Brake pads needed changing and I was not sure if just the front or all four. David arrived on time and provided excellent and honest service, quality and value. He showed me the rear pads were in great condition, but the front pads were on the razor's edge. Solid choice for on-site service and I'll be calling him in the future for my other vehicles. He does more than brakes (oil changes, shocks, struts, engine, pumps, etc.), so keep that in mind. read more

David came by for a quick diagnosis of my sticky left rear drum brake so that I could order parts online for a fraction of the cost at a shop. Once I had the parts, he installed them and dashed to a local shop to get another needed part. He also replaced the old brake fluid and all is working well again, without having to do both sides, like the shop wanted me to do. I highly recommend David. read more

Very fast and professional! Cool guy. I will be using his services again. Got my rear brakes done in less than an hour. Must say , I was very impressed read more

David made my day with his positive attitude! He did a job well done~ above & beyond! read more

Response was immediate. I wasn't fully aware of what was wrong. All I knew was the brakes went out. I came on Yelp to see if someone mobile was available. This man responded in minutes and was very knowledgeable of my situation. Was saying thing before I could form the sentence in my head. Spoke on the phone and within minutes I knew he was gonna be the Guy! Since it was nearly 7pm there was no way he could get out last night (3/13/24). But said he'd text in the morning with a time. Time came got a text "getting items, be there in an hour". Within the hour he was here. He fixed both my brakes and rotors for a fair market value. He didn't sugar coat what I had done. I let them grind so much that the one piece unit had broken into 2. I was just this side of causing harm to my family and others. Thank to this guy we are all safe! So to bring this down a bit... Great guy Great response time Great communication Great value Will call read more

Mobile Brake Guy - My no brake broke. - Auto Repair Near Me

Second time calling on David and once again he delivered. My car had been sputtering while accelerating, and David was able to accurately diagnose the issue--just over text. He came by the next day and swapped out all my spark plugs in under 15 minutes. Problem solved. Not only did he save me a trip to the shop, he saved me a ton of money. While he's known for mobile brake repair, David clearly knows his way around a wide range of mechanic work. Honest, efficient, and dependable--I can't recommend him enough. If every mechanic worked like David, the auto repair world would be a much better place. read more

Dave was great! Only does was needs to be done. Communicates well and knows what he is doing. Bob read more

I'm leaving another review. Just had David work on our brakes again. Thought we needed to have both front and back done. He took off the back pads and showed me that they were still good and that there's still 30%-50% life left in them and that if it were up to him, he wouldn't change them yet and we needed up only doing the front. I showed him what else the dealership had suggested to have done to the car, he sent me the link to buy the parts and said to call him once it comes and he'll be by to install it. I'm recommending him to everyone I know! Hard working and honest and out to save you money! read more

I'll save you the time from reading another review. Look no further. You found the right guy. Just do it. ps: thanks David, went to the car wash right after and power washed my wheels like you said. read more

David was spot on in evaluating my brake/bearing issue. He was straight forward and up front about costs , when the fix was simpler than expected and cheaper he was genuinely thrilled for me the customer!!! Awesome service, he comes to you and makes life easy. He also remedied a few other issues he noticed while under my truck, I am so grateful!! He will be my go to mechanic. read more

Dave is very responsive, friendly, and professional! He arrived at my home a little early and replaced my rear brake pads not wasting time. He looked over the rotors and front brakes, looked at engine and checked fluids. He explained about some car stuff to me. I got my brakes changed and a little education in automotive repair. He is really enthusiastic about his trade. I'll be recommending him to my family/friends for their brakes! read more

He is the most amazing person. He has so much patience, and he's actually so helpful. He came to find my car break pad and there isn't really any problem. It's just a set up to check when the mileage hit. The dealership ask $600 to fix but he said he would do it for much lesser price so we asked him to come But there's nothing to be fixed. It was just a scam from the dealership. He took care of it two times and no charge. We will definitely keep in touch with him for further assistance. We will only call from now on. 100% recommend! read more
