My engine light suddenly came on a few days ago and then the engine started to make a funny noise. Due to a combination of a crazy schedule and having been frustrated with my most recent experiences with local dealerships, I decided to try out Mobile Mechanic. It's one of the best decisions I have made this year. Will was able to come out with a day or so and run a diagnostics check, quickly locating the issue and showing me the results. He explained to me what the issue was, discussed options, gave me a full quote and a price - highly competitive. With me agreeing to what needed to be done, he ordered the part (Saturday) and came back the next day (Sunday) to install it. Incredibly helpful and so polite, he showed me the new part, walked me through what he was going to do and afterward even showed me the part he removed and explained the wear and why it was actually perfect timing. Within hours I was up and running again, good as new. I have NEVER had service like this from a dealership in all my years of being a car owner and driver (and that's several decades). Will also flagged other things that I needed to be aware of (including needing an oil change - which I will be getting him to come and do) but at no point pushed for me to do them there and then - zero pressure, just guidance. He repeatedly asked if I had any questions and was keen for me to understand what was happening and why - superb! He even cleared up the work area after he'd finished. Flawless. Aside from the convenience and Will just being an incredibly nice guy, his attention to detail and service are second to none. Friendly and knowledgable, he works hard to make sure you understand what he's doing, and is professional and polite at every step along the way. Will clearly cares and takes great pride in what he does. He's the only person I will be going to for my automotive service needs from now on. Highly recommended. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! My long time mechanic was taken by ICE. Although losing him, especially "that way" is very disheartening, a recent break down, lead me to take a chance on Mobile Mechanic. I called and spoke with Will to get an estimate on my repair. He was professional, knowledgeable, quoted me a resonable price, and gave me an appointment. The next day, Will showed up at my house ON TIME and with a great personality. He came fully equipped and prepared to fix my suv. The repair took less than the 2 hours he originally estimated. I'm so glad I took a chance on Mobile Mechanic. I love the convenience of mobile auto repair. It was great not having to worry about getting a ride to and from a repair shop. I'm sticking with Will for any future car maintenance or repair issues. Thank you so much Will. read more

Wilfredo is a great mechanic he's knowledgeable and easy to work with. I needed to fix my starter and he presented me with three options depending on my budget. He showed me a good brand where I could get good parts that are reliable for the future and he showed me why my starter wasn't working and tested my battery and alternator. Overall, excellent experience if you're in the area hit him up! read more

I called on a Sunday morning to request a quote for a mobile car battery replacement. Will answered promptly and provided helpful information to understand my available options and the pricing. The service cost is very fair and inclusive of the mobile visit, old battery removal and disposal + new battery and installment. They take most payment forms including digital forms like Zelle, which is helpful when you're in a pinch/don't have cash on hand. Will mentioned they could make visits on the day-of or schedule ahead; for schedule-ahead appointments, they give a 1-hr range for arrival + a 15-minute ETA so you're not waiting around unnecessarily. They also have a great range of mobile service hours that accommodate before- and after-work schedules. (My repair date is next week, so I'll follow up then with a review of the installation; I was just excited to receive such helpful service so far that I wanted to leave this review now. Thx again, Will) read more

Dude came, did half the job, said he'd come back, never did, and then ghosted. Left the brakes messed up and now I gotta pay someone else to fix it. Don't waste your time. Will take your money for brakes and not do it, then disappear and say he totally forgot to text you back read more

Very quick and easy to work with, no hidden agenda nor try to upsell. Great and prompt service and value. Will definitely continue to use this service as I need. read more

He was one of the nicest and competent person to work on my car! Very Thorough, mindful, professional, and Kind. I may only use him to fix anything on my car. Thank you Wilfredo! read more

Probably the best 24/7 oil change guy in town. Prompt, courteous, professional, and very friendly. Highly recommended.

I was on my way home on Xmas Eve and my car gave out going north on 5. I was trying to find a mechanic that was available to take in my car but it was so difficult given the time (3PM) and holiday. I was lucky to get in contact with Will from Mobile Mechanic! He said he was unable to help me since it was already late BUT he can help me next day (Xmas) 8AM. I was able to have my car towed in a residential area and went back to OC with my bf for the night. Next day, we went to my car and Will met us there. Problem was my alternator which I figured. Will went right to work but it was a joy speaking with him while he was working. I personally like learning how to fix things along with my bf so it was a great experience. He also checked my battery terminals and fixed one of them just to make sure I would be good to drive back home to my family (3hrs away). He made sure after every fix to observe my car so it would be OK vs just fixing it and letting me go. I would definitely contact Will for any of my future needs as he can travel to you. We were very impressed by his knowledge and passion for auto work. Thank you so much for helping me fix my car so I can get back home to my family for the holidays. read more

Outstanding Servixe at very affordable price - Quick help and assistance at 10pm on a Saturday night, can only recomment!

Needed an alternator replaced. They came to me and we quick and so lovely the entire experience. It was super convenient and they had great customer service, and great work! read more

I needed my car battery replaced since it died on me at the car wash earlier that day. Got a jump from a guy who worked there to get it home. I called Mobile Mechanic on SUNDAY, the day it happened, and Will quoted me a price and was able to come out same day and replace my battery!! I called around 5:30pm and by 6:30pm (on Sunday) my car was good as new again! I appreciated Will's quick response to my call and his willingness to service me! Oh, did I mention this was on a Sunday? LOL Anyway, he was fast, friendly, and efficient! I would highly recommend them to anyone! read more

he was very honest and affordable for diagnostic. he told me that the car wasn't really worth spend more money on and to try and sell for the parts. thanks for your honesty. very knowledgeable and professional read more

Wilfredo was so kind, professional and quick to take care of my service request. The price was even slightly better than other companies that sent me quotes. I will for sure call him again for any mechanical issues. 100% recommended! read more

Wilfredo did an amazing job fixing the cracked oil pan. He found the part on a Sunday, went to get it, and came back to install. Highly recommended. read more

They came to jump start my car. It was easy, they guy showed up right away, started the car, made sure it would keep running. Zero complaints; I recommend this place. read more

Really nice and not creepy. I was worried to have someone come to me. I will definitely use again.

I cant express our families gratitude for Will's fast and honest service. My sisters vehicle would not start after sitting for week in the hospital parking lot while she tended to her terminally ill husband. Triple A would not go out and replace the battery since they jumped it the night before and didn't hold a charge. I was out of state and desperately looking for a mobile mechanic that could swap the battery and save her limited time away from his bedside. Thanks to yelp and reviews I found Will. He showed up faster than expected and went above and beyond to test the vehicle and make sure it wasn't the alternator. She had a drive back to vegas during the hot summer months with pets in tow. Will got her back on road back home and very compassionate and honest. Thank you Will read more

Originally, I needed a tow because I thought my alternator was out. Had two gentlemen come and he first suggested he take a look at the battery before they haul it, which I'm very thankful for because it turned out to just be the battery terminals! He said that he could come back later on that day to replace them, and he would charge me $90 for the whole thing. My only issue was when the time came around for him to come back, he kept pushing the time back. I had something to do, so I just paid him $50 for basically a diagnostic and went Jiffy Lube, who replaced them for free. Overall, not a bad experience, I just wish the communication was better. read more

They did not show up to their appointment nor call me. I called them and they didn't answer. I left a message, and they did not call back. They left me and my girl stranded. I would not recommend using these guys. When it comes to the weekends, they don't give a shit about customers. read more

I really appreciated the honesty that I got from them when I called, it's rare for an auto mechanic to not try to take advantage of a lady. I will absolutely be calling in the future for my car repair needs. They come come out to you, he was trying to save me a second service fee while waiting for parts, who does that anymore?! Incredible service. read more

Did a great job with great prices My car is running great Highly recommend Will call him again soon read more

Needed a short-noticed car diagnose for my mom's car and found Julio's business on Yelp. The positive reviews gave me a lot of confidence while contacting him and was further supported by his excellent service. When I called initially, Julio was with a client and send a text message requesting for basic information. Received a response from him within 30 mins and had him come out the same afternoon on a weekend. Julio was super nice and helpful. In addition to detecting the issue, also provided a lot of helpful tips. definitely a great contact to keep in the cellphone contact list in case something else comes up again. read more

The Car Battery God is unforgiving this morning... Two cars with completely dead batteries are parked on my driveway... WILL to the rescue. I am in South Pasadena, and he arrived 45 minutes after receiving my call. My man Will and his associate are super super nice and kind guys. He changed the battery in my Lexus CT200h just like that. Another car parked on the driveway had starting issue, and I suspect battery problem as well because the engine clicks when I turn the key. He diagnosed it and found the amperage is too low, and it is a bad battery that needs to be replaced as well, but I that car is under warranty so I will be taking that to the dealership. He charged it so I can drive it out of my driveway. Professional, responsive, fast, with a fair price. Saved my day, and I will be calling and recommend him in the future! read more

Mobile mechanic - Lexus CT200h starting battery is inside the trunk!?! Did not know. - Roadside Assistance Near Me

See all

Everything was ready, and he had already ordered the part, but when it was time to install it, he disappeared, we called him, and nothing.

Wilfredo came by to deal with a car issue that I had. I sought Yelp quotes at 6:30am, and Wilfredo arrived with his van to my door by 11:30am. Job was done in an hour. He was very helpful, gracious, and informative. He also was clearly an expert, and knew instantly what the issue with my car was. I would definitely recommend him again--I already have another project I think I'll be using him for. read more

It was a real pleasure dealing with Wilfredo aka the Mobile Mechanic. We were storing an old car that hadn't been driven in 8 years. Wilfred came out on time with his van full of professional equipment. He put in a new battery, drained and replaced the oil and partially drained the gas tank, determining than there was no water or other junk in the tank. He was able to get the car running. He even washed the car! His original estimate was $700 but he only charged $500. I highly recommend this business. read more

Will was AMAZING Actually worked on two cars that wouldn't start They were parked on the street & Will & his guy took care of them there saving me two expensive tows Will stands behind his work He's courteous, kind & professional I will most definitely use him for future repairs read more

10/10 recommend! Friday: I was 5 miles from my house and my battery light went on. Saturday: my car didn't start. I called AAA and they informed me my alternator and battery were dead. I would need to get a tow to a mechanic. I looked on Yelp for a mechanic opened on Sunday and found Mobile mechanic. I sent a request for a quote thought Yelp and 2 hours later, I got a reply with a quote and availability for Sunday! Sunday: Will emailed me saying he had a cancellation and was able to come early. He called me 20 mins before his arrival. He went straight to work. I went into my house and did what I had to do. It took him about 3 hours to replace my alternator and battery. He suggested I change my belt and he drove to the store to buy me a new one. He didn't charge for the labor but just the part. That was nice of him! Highly suggest him! So kind, respectful, honest, punctual, and the fact that he can come to your house... it saved me time and money to get a tow!! Thanks for saving my car I will use him again if this happens in the future (which I hope I don't) For the convenience that he can come to my house, the price was good! read more

I had a very pleasant experience working with Will. He is very professional and responsive. Arrived when he said he would. Did an excellent job bringing my Element back to life. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family. read more

I became stranded about 40 minutes from home. I thought it was my battery. AAA couldn't help because they claimed a national battery shortage. I called Mobile Mechanic and set up an appointment for early the next day. Communication was amazing. They showed up a little early even. Wilfredo was friendly and professional. He diagnosed the problem as my alternator quickly and said the battery was likely still fine. He gave me options for which parts to go with and price quotes. He got the part and fixed my car on the street same day! He called so I could meet him at my car when he was finished. Price was completely reasonable. So convenient! Highly recommend read more

My car had been on the fritz for 7 months and parked in my parking garage....I wasn't sure if I could ever get it fixed. I called Mobile Mechanic and Will was able to come the next morning, troubleshoot the problem and have it fixed by the afternoon. This guy goes above and beyond and I would recommend him and his company over and over again! If you're looking for helpful and reliable this is your guy! read more

He ghosted me. We had the initial phone call, which was pleasant, and scheduled an appointment for one week later to get my RV started. He mentioned that he would call the day before to confirm. The day before the appointment he did not call so I called him, vm was full but there's an option to send your number as a text, so I did. Didn't hear back but I didn't worry too much about it. Our appointment was for 3-4pm. At 4:15 I called, it went to voicemail but then he called back. I answered and I could tell right away he'd only called me by accident. I could hear him there and sporadically talking to someone. Ok... so I hung up and tried again, he let it go to vm. I sent him a text, and left a message through the website asking if he is coming, neither were acknowledged and he never showed up for the appointment. I waited a few days before leaving this review just in case he wanted to call and explain or reschedule, but there's been no acknowledgment at all. During our initial phone call he made sure to mention a $175 fee if he shows up to diagnose the problem but I don't use his services to fix the problem. I can only assume that fee is to ensure that his time is respected. Why not then extend the same courtesy to your clients? My RV is not parked at my house so when all was said and done I wasted 5 hours of my only week day off this month waiting around for someone who never had any intention of showing up. Don't waste your day like I did and find someone who respects your time. read more

I really hate leaving reviews specially bad ones for job never being done but i tried giving them a chance. Last week i called for diagnostic on my car and some work to be done they scheduled time date Confirmed via text as well then when date came they were no show no answer no text back. But i know its work something always happens so i waited few days called them back and they told me his phone calendar god deleted and he did not see my appointment witch seemed like a lie because i texted them and called to confirm. But anyways i said ok give me new date. They gave the date time they apologized for the wait but comes the day and no show again. Called and texted multiple times and no answer. We all have jobs and things to do we can sit around and wait. If you cant make it just let us know that you cant so we can go on doing our things. Very unprofessional very u reliable And i would not trust their ethics to tell me the truth about my car at this point read more

great service, very transparent with everything. car fixed in no time. recommend 100%

My car broke down at work, I had a hunch it was the alternator. . Called Wilfredo and he was willing to go late at night but I was already home and exhausted. . So he booked me for the next available spot he had. . Which was the following day late in the evening. He arrived at time discussed, diagnosed my car and confirmed it was the alternator. . Told me it would take an hour and a half to possibly 2 hours to get said part and replace Best call I have ever made. . No hauling the car to a mechanic, no waiting until following days for diagnosis/ repairs. . He was able to care for it right then and their and I was able to drive my car home Definitely plan to keep his number handy . . Highly recommend read more

TL;DR: Highly recommend! Super responsive, reliable, great prices, honest, and a really really nice guy! And super convenient that he comes to you. He would be my go-to person to call if I lived in LA. I had to make the drive up to the Bay Area from LA on a Sunday but my car started making crazy noises. So bad that I didn't feel safe even driving it to a mechanic. I found Wilfredo through Yelp because he's like the only place open on Sundays. And the fact that he drives to his customers was a huge bonus. I'm so glad I found him!! He was super responsive, really thorough in finding the source of the issue, even took me out on a test drive to be sure. He found out it was my transmission that was leaking. He showed me exactly where it was leaking, fixed the leak, refilled the transmission, and took me out on a test drive again to make sure it wasn't making noise anymore. Highly recommend! read more

I am so appreciative for Wilfredo. I called in the later evening and Wilfredo was able to come in under an hour. Wilfredo stayed until 1am to fix my precious (*said in my Smeagol voice). Wilfredo is going to be my mechanic now read more

They are a life saver! I drove from Las Vegas to Redondo and as soon as I got here, I got an alarm on my car warning me about my brakes. I was super frustrated because I was only in town for two nights, so I was stressed about when I could get my car checked out. Called them at 8:30pm on a Friday and they arrived at my hotel at 10:15pm. They checked out my car and it was only a minor problem. Here's what I appreciate about them: 1 - Very thorough They checked all aspects of my car. Which makes feel very comfortable driving it back home. 2 - Honest and they did not over charge me They told me the truth about the problem and did not charge me a huge amount for checking out my car. 3 - They arrive super fast & convenient This was the fastest mobile place in town! If I ever have issue like this again and I'm in the Redondo area, I'm definitely calling them! read more

I was a bit skeptical to call this place at first, but I decided to try and I'm glad I called. Wilfredo was very friendly, professional and very honest with the pricing he provided. I described the issue with my car not being able to turn on and when he checked it, he confirmed that it was my crank system no longer working. He compared Aftermarket price with Dealership pricing and went to pick up the part all the way in Glendale! I couldn't be more happy/appreciative of the service he provided! I would definitely recommend him! Thank you Wilfredo! Hope this helps! read more
