This review is a little late. I used Mobile PDX about a month ago for a pre-purchase inspection. I worked with Courtney; he gave me a call to assess what the request was. On the call, he gave me a very thorough rundown of what would happen on the day of the inspection. He told me the price of the service, and even offered to perform the inspection without me present to save me drive time. The day came, Courtney showed up on time, and the inspection was carried out. It took about an hour. He checked every conceivable item including test driving it. He gave me a concise review of his findings and opinions of the vehicle, and I ended up moving forward with the purchase. I am now very happy with my vehicle, and I have Courtney to thank for it. I absolutely would recommend Mobile PDX. read more

Did a PPI. Didn't miss anything major (because there was nothing), but did miss several things: physical damage to the engine pan insulating casing, both amber parking lights not working, side view mirror irreparably damaged, passenger window automatic operation not working He's charging nearly double what my Southern California mobile mechanic charged for a PPI but caught about 30% of the cars issues. I cannot recommend read more

Got a PPI from this guy. Very solid, very helpful. Even stuck around to teach me a thing or two cause I was curious. He was half an hour late though. read more

Courtney was the only person to actually answer my call on a Saturday. I needed someone quickly to do a pre purchase inspection on a vehicle for sale in Portland and I live out of town. He was able to look at the truck the same day! This was invaluable in my ability to purchase the vehicle quickly. He ran the truck through a very rigorous inspection and then texted me a report as well as called me with all of the details and his opinions. It truly made the transaction of buying a used vehicle 1,000 times better!!! read more

Courtney, the Owner and son, Lou, are incredible dedicated auto repairmen ; I used them the 2nd time to work on my Porsche 356 and they do incredible time saving work. Excellent communication and reliability ! I recommend them to anyone needing Emergency help, maintenance work, or unusual care for any automobile. Courtney is a "Master Mechanic" rated specialist . These guys are 5 Star help! CMDR Rand WIntermute, U.S. Coast Guard ( Ret.) read more

I cannot say enough about Courtney and Lou. They were reliable, friendly, communicated very well and explained everything. Their rates are very reasonable. This was my first interaction with them, I will absolutely use them again and recommend them to all my friends and family. Highly Recommended. read more

Fast thorough onsite auto inspection. Very courteous and timely. Caught items we could not see or hear when we viewed the vehicle in person

Courtney and crew deliver five star service!!! Very communicative and knowledgeable! They make it easy by coming to you! From the first call to the end they kept me informed and had my car fixed and back on the road. Very reasonably priced too! Highly recommend!!! Give them a call!! read more

These guys replaced my battery in my Subaru at my house. Same day when they said they would. Called to confirm part cost, etc. Programmed the battery. Yes, the battery... and rebooted the system. All good.... So easy. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Courtney and Mobile PDX. They were prompt, professional, thorough and thoughtful. I needed an inspection done quickly and needed to trust that the work was done professionally. Courtney told me what would happen and then followed through completely. This first interaction with Mobile PDX was amazing and I plan to bring all my work to Courtney and his team. Thanks for taking care of us. Much appreciated. read more

We spoke with Courtney on Sunday and he told us he would come and work on our car on Tuesday sometime in the afternoon. To confirm we contacted him in the morning and no response. Called later around 2pm and he sounded like he was with a bunch of kids and said he would need to call back. Nonetheless no call back and we contacted him via text to cancel. Very poor communication. Very poor customer service. I would not recommend if you are in need. INRELIABLE. read more

Courtney was honest, informative, on-time and thorough. He walked me through the potential causes of my issue and suggested solutions. Would highly recommend! read more

Long story short, I needed a high priority, last minute inspection done on a vehicle I was looking at on the other side of the country. I found Courtney and his business, chatted with him at 4pm PST, and he not only offered to assist, but did so that same evening for two hours, having a report in my hands less than three hours after first contact. This job was relatively easy as the car was a newer well maintained sportscar, but the peace of mind was worth the investment. Know that his prices may be slightly higher than average, but competitors at lower prices weren't even available for another 2-5 business days to even get someone out there, so his timeliness CAN'T be beat. To top it off he was very personable and kind, and gave me informal Intel on the seller's business as well as his objective thoughts about the car. Highly recommend!!! read more

Do not use this service for a vehicle pre-purchase inspection. I am actively trying to get my money back from this company. I paid $420 for them to inspect a vehicle for me at a dealer. They reported the vehicle had no issues, and encouraged me to buy it. Once I purchased the vehicle, I discovered the following issues: cracked radiator, damaged leaking upper radiator hose, bad engine mounts (common for this model of vehicle- I asked them about this directly and they said they were fine), leaking rear differential, and front brakes that were worn down and in need of replacement. All of the items except the brakes will be covered by the dealer warranty, fortunately, and I can do the brakes myself- however- I genuinely feel scammed by this company, and it is unclear if they actually inspected the vehicle, as I was not there for the inspection (they encourage you not to be there). On top of all of this, we spoke on the phone at 11am the day of the inspection, and they said they were directly enroute. They did not arrive for four hours, with zero communication in between. I will be going to the Better Business Bureau, Google Reviews, Nextdoor, and other platforms to report this truly terrible experience. Mobile PDX- if you see this, kindly refund my money. read more

recommended. gave a valuable assessment and ultimately saved me money without the added trouble of getting my car to a shop.

I don't know where to begin. Agreed a price of $275 for them to inspect a Jag XK8. After the inspection the guy tried to shame me out of more money and then sent me a picture of a scrap of handwritten paper which was supposedly his inspection report. His report completely missed the following All tires split and unsafe Transmission fault Oil pressure fault Radio not working Lots of broken trim pieces Stability control fault Both front seat mechanisms broken Paint damage Etc...... read more

My husband and I were interested in a car at a used car dealership, and this business was one of the only ones open on a Sunday (I just discovered it on Google). While it was a little pricier than other vehicle inspections we've had in the past, it was totally worth it. The inspection was super detailed and thorough. They came TO the dealership to look at it (which I've never heard of -- talk about going the extra mile). He called us and filled us in on everything. He knows what he's talking about, with a sense of humour to boot. We'll definitely be going back to them in the future! Highly recommend. read more

I had 2 unknown electrical issues that happened within a week . Melting wires and no power to anything ,even the headlights didn't work .I called a friend / coworker that happens to be a backyard mechanic that loves old Ford's and he got me up and running for 2 days before my 1988 Bronco II died for good . Long story made short Courtney and his son Lou tracked it all the way to a bad starter . I believe the full cost for showing up 2 days + the parts and the labor ( and also the frustration of me hanging over their shoulders asking questions , et all ) was about what you would pay for labor.time alone at a drive in shop . Money well spent . If I ever break down again I will call them first and hope they call me back . Mostly humorous review but , they did have to endure alot of questions , haha . Great guys and service was perfect and meticulous ! read more

My car battery was dead even after a few jump attempts. Courtney and Lou came out to my neighborhood in SE Portland where I'd had it parked, and they were really great guys. They replaced the battery for me, and I appreciated Courtney's respectful and educational approach to helping me understand what the problem was and how to avoid issues in the future. Cost was straightforward, and I feel like I can trust them with my precious old beater in the future! read more

I was getting my oil changed today, rolled the window down to talk to the tech and when I drove away, it wouldn't roll back up. Good thing it down poured today. **insert sarcasm** I called Courtney up and let him know the 411, he said he would be over in the afternoon to early evening. He kept me updated via text and made it over much later than expected, at 7 pm. He had a full schedule and was fitting me in at the end of his day. 2 hours later and he was done, it took a bit of time to get the old motor out, since it died with the window fully down and my door design has a small access opening. He never complained and got the job done well. He also cleaned and lubricated the window. I thanked him and he replied, "I really didn't feel like coming out this late but tomorrow was fully scheduled and I knew it was raining. No one wants a stuck window in the rain." I appreciate it so much that he made it out the same day. He has really become my go-to person for all car needs. Fan shroud, battery replacement and corrosion repair, rear brake replacement, brake flush, trunk hydraulic system replacement (SUV trunk lift wouldn't stay up), spark plug replacement and now a window motor replacement. He upgraded to a white utility van full of whatever he needs to do your repair. If he doesn't have the replacement item, he will go out and get it for you, same day. Total professional. Honest, fair, friend and exceptional service. Thank you (again)! read more

Courtney and his son Lou were a absolute pleasure to work with! Got my Subi back up and running after many shops gave me the run around and tried to overcharge me! They came to my house and got my helicoil installed along with new spark plus quickly and professionally. They even fixed a couple little things for me last minute. These are now my go to guys if anything else happens to Miss Scarlet. If you're looking for honest, hardworking on point mechanics this father and son duo has got you! Thanks again guys. You made my day!!! read more

Courtney helped us out last minute with a pre-purchase vehicle inspection. We called him in the morning and he was able to check out the truck we were looking to buy that same afternoon at the dealership, which was a *huge* help because we needed to get it checked out and to buy the vehicle that same day as we live out of state and were heading home. Process went as smooth as possible. We took care of everything over the phone, including payment, and he sent a report and discussed it with us when he was done. Recommend him highly. read more

Super awesome service with Joe! I have called on him twice .. once for a bad starter and again for a radiator flush and turn signal issues. He always goes above and beyond and is now my go to for all my car services! Thank you!!! read more

Okay. This is the real deal. A family owned and run mobile automobile repair. They are knowledgeable, honest, personable and they care. My VW was diagnosed, fixed, and running, plans for each concern laid out, and bonus the Dodge Caravan also diagnosed and work explained and figures estimated. We plan to have them work on our cars as long as we own them, and next time, cookies will be freshly baked, guys! read more

very helpful with my jeep serpentine belt. talked me through some steps on phone also. i will use again!

This family team is A+! I bought a old beat down food truck that has been sitting for years and Courtney and his team breathed life back into here! Unbelievable knowledge about all things automotive! They work fast and the prices are great. Thank you to the entire team and special thanks to Courtney for getting me and Scarlet back on the road! read more

Courtney is LEGIT! I had him do a pre-purchase inspection of a vehicle at a dealership. His procedure and process was thorough and in depth. He is very professional and knowledgeable, and he's a super nice guy!!! I will indeed be using his service and expertise in future projects and vehicle purchases or repairs. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! read more

I was especially grateful that the people from Mobile PDX who came to fix my 30-year-old car's battery were knowledgeable and compassionate about older cars. So many mechanics nowadays don't know or care, but hide their ignorance behind snarky comments that your car is just old and you shouldn't expect it to work. Not so with Mobile PDX. Not only did they stock the right hard-to-find battery, but they gave me tips as to why the batteries I'd been getting elsewhere weren't lasting very long, and how to continue to get more oomph out of my car. And they were punctual, efficient, and kind. Highly recommend. read more

If there was ever a perfect business model for repairing cars during COVID-19, Mobile PDX would be hands-down THE company everyone should try to emulate. Why do I say this? Because I was there to witness how MobilePDX operates. The process was straight forward: - I called them up. - Courtney and I exchanged some details over text. - They arrived a little after lunch. - I handed them my car keys and walked away. - They were done before the work day ended. - I paid them--honestly a fair price and I was not at all surprised by it. My car wouldn't start due to a bad starter and a slowly dying battery. The moment Courtney and Lou (sorry if I spelt your name wrong!) arrived they jumped right into action seemingly knowing what was exactly wrong with my car. After the diagnosis and a run-down of what'll happen next, I left them my car keys and went back to work. It was shocking how fast and efficient everything was because I was under the assumption that they couldn't fit everything in their white van but I'm glad I stand corrected. Long story short, I came back to my car purring and running like as if nothing happened in the first place! A huge thank you to Courtney and Lou for being life savers and true professionals during the pandemic. To those who are worried if these guys are "covid ready" -- they are. They came wearing masks and rejected my force of habit handshake and elbow bumped me instead. read more

I have had Courtney work on 2 of my cars. He was responsive, got to us in a timely fashion and much more cost effective than other quotes we received. I would recommend him 100%! Thank you Mobile PDX! read more

I emailed Courtney at 800 am this morning. He got back to me at 400pm saying he had the parts ready to fix my roommates car and to please call him. He arrived at our home at 630pm the same day and fixed my roommates 2007 Kia in an hour! Not many places you can get a mechanic to fix your car the same day! I'm not gonna say he's always gonna be able to get your car fixed the same day, but man, what awesome service! This was our first time trying his services, and it won't be the last! Thanks Courtney! read more

Big thumbs up! Courtney is not only very knowledgeable and experienced, but he's also a hell of a nice, interesting guy with a good zest for life. I called him to have a car checked out prior to purchase and he not only checked it out, but thoroughly explained to me all of the things he was doing and why they mattered as well as gave me tips for how to do other things that were quite valuable. All at my home. He is definitely a people person, as am I and we had a great time together! read more

I live on the coast and knew that it was important to buy a truck in the valley and I decided on a small car lot they didn't allow vehicles to leave the lot to be checked since it didn't have the staff to transport it. When I went searching for who could do it for me, these guys had the best reviews. And I was not disappointed! These guys are great, and I was able to do everything, scheduling and payment over the phone. I even got text messages updating me on their progress and process. The car lot was also very impressed with how thorough they were at checking all aspects of the vehicle. In the end, they highly recommended the Toyota Tacoma I was having checked and reassured me that this was a vehicle I would be hard pressed to talk down in price, but that this would be one I would love for years to come. The two businesses, the car lot and that mobile mechanic, had this as they're first time meeting, but said they each hoped to do more interactions because of how much they felt the other was trust worthy. read more

I simply cannot say enough wonderful things about Mobile PDX! Courtney has been so kind and knowledgeable, he has made buying a used car less intimidating, walked me through everything I need to know, done repair work for myself and my daughters first car and he is always responsive and informative in a speedy fashion! I totally recommend them and will be seeing them for all my future car needs! read more

I don't know what I would have done without Courtney--truly. It all began when I tried to start my car one morning, and out of the blue it began shaking and the check engine light was on. I had a crazy day at work and didn't have time to think much about it, let alone take it to a mechanic, so I got a ride from a friend and thought (with frustration) that I would just be without a car for a few days...or longer. Then a friend told me about Mobile PDX and I learned that there was a mechanic who would come to my HOUSE and fix it for me, and he was a trustworthy human and would do it at a reasonable cost. I had trouble believing that....but it's true! I gave Courtney a call the day my car broke down, and within 24 hours he had come to my home, repaired it, and it was running again. The best part? I didn't have to be there!! (I am a small business owner, running around all day long. So this was monumental for me.) He inspected my car, called to tell me what was wrong and how much it would cost (it was a coil and it was only a couple hundred bucks), went out and bought the part, fixed it immediately + then sent me an invoice via Square. Seriously couldn't have been easier. But the best part about working with Courtney is that he also called afterwards to inform me of the extremely poor shape my car was in, and told me that it needed a new timing belt along with a bunch of other work, and that to fix all the parts would cost more than he believed it to be worth. (It was a very old and not very well-maintained car...) He said if it were him, he would buy a new one. So I did just that. Courtney advised me during my used car buying process, and then when I found a car, I hired him to go to the dealership to inspect it so that I could know with certainty that the car I was getting was in good shape. (Again, within 24 hours of me calling him to tell him I'd found a car that I wanted him to check out, he was at the used car dealership, trying to negotiate deals for me.) I was able to buy my new car with confidence, and Courtney was a huge help in that. (He also helped me figure out an appropriate trade-in value for my old car.) I seriously don't know what I would've done without Courtney because I know nothing about cars and I am OK with that. I trust him a lot, and friends that use him do as well! I would definitely recommend going to Courtney for any car troubles / questions. You can't beat a mobile mechanic! (Also the funniest part is that I still haven't actually met him in person...but someday!) read more

Top Notch! I had Courtney and his team at Mobile PDX conduct a pre-purchase vehicle inspection. They are experienced, meticulous, and extremely knowledgeable. They performed the inspection as if they were purchasing the car for themselves. Afterwards they provided a detailed report and thoroughly explained their findings. Courtney even gave me his professional opinion regarding the purchase of the vehicle. I highly recommend their services! read more

Amazing wonderful people. Totally transparent. They are a joy to work with. I feel like a part of the family when I work with them. And I love that they try to actively engage me and I always end up learning something. read more

Courtney and Lou are top notch mechanics. Their skill set, reliability, and honesty have made them a team I will recommend to all of my friends and family. If you need a mechanic, call them first!! read more

Courtney is a great guy who likes what he does - he's a people person! I hired him for a mobile inspection before an auto purchase. He was very flexible with his time and was willing to do more than what was asked to get the job done. He also had good advice on making the auto purchase. He really enjoys working with his customers and he gives honest advice. I hope I get to hire him again. Worth the money! read more

I was traveling from out of town when my car broke down and wouldn't start. Courtney and his colleague were able to meet me at my car within 20 minutes of my call - no towing needed! They diagnosed the problem, explained what was wrong, and provided me with a quote in a short amount of time. Most other shops were closed on Saturday, but Mobile PDX was able to come to my location and get my vehicle running smoothly. Courtney even checked in to be sure all was still well with my car after the roadtrip home. Excellent service, would highly recommend! read more
