On time. Completed the job quickly (brake pads). Well done. Thank you Matt!

Matt, thank you for awesome service. Easy to communicate with and reliable. I would recommend to family and friends!

What a lifesaver! My husband and I were really struggling with what we were going to do with one car out being serviced and two jobs and six kids, all of whom needed to get places. Matt to the rescue! He came to the house, right on time, and repaired our brakes quickly and professionally. He saved us time and headache and was super reasonably priced. I couldn't be more pleased and would definitely recommend him. Thank you, Matt!! read more

This mobile mechanic is by far the best I have worked with. He is absolutely reliable and trustworthy. I have 8 vehicles that need maintained. He always shows up on thine, does outstanding work and is very reasonably priced. I highly recommend. read more

Matt with Need a Brake recently did the brakes on my Lexus, great job, super convenient and left my car and driveway clean! I highly recommend him. read more

if you want a company who communicates and does what they say they will, matt with need a brake is the firm. i saw one of matts trucks and gave him a call, i had been putting this brake job off for a second and thought i get a quote. he quotes me over the phone, no need to get back to me...this always tells me that the person im speaking with know what they are doing. we schedule a time/date for him to do what he does... i am a busy person so i ask him to check in with me a couple of hours before the scheduled time in case something came up. he calls like he said he would and stops by my office. he was professional and friendly, not one of those can't look you in the eye kinda guys. the brakes were on a 4 x 4 2500 dodge truck, i would and will refer him to anyone talking brakes!! thanks matt! the websters read more

Needed a brake fix and matthew was the right guy to do it; fast reliable service for a good price, I would definitely recommend him.

We had a great experience with Matt. He was easy to get ahold of and he came to us which was a big stress relief. He does great work, communicates well and has fair pricing. Would definitely recommend! Thank you, Matt!!! read more

Rare to find a trustworthy and competent mechanic. Rarer still to find one that will actually come to you! I won't take my vehicles to anyone else. Could not recommend any higher! read more

First rate. I needed brake work on wife's car, and Matt fit me in before the weekend. He went above and beyond, great work for a great price. I'll ask him to replace the brake pads on the other vehicles, too. Very much recommend! read more

This review is way past overdue! Matt is an amazing and reliable mechanic. I first met him when he was taking care of a small fleet of vans for the company I worked for. I could call him out to take care of the technician vans instead of taking them to a shop and them be out of use and the company losing money for a few days. He also has worked on my own vehicle plenty. There is nothing better than not only have a mechanic come to you to fix a problem instead of having to take off work to go to a shop and be stuck in a small, smelly waiting area but also know without a doubt that they are genuine and honest as well. It's like being spoiled to know while I'm sitting at my desk getting work done that Matt is fixing my A/C so by the time I get off work I won't have to drive home in 100-degree weather with no cold air keeping me from passing out from heat exhaustion (all for a surprisingly reasonable price too). One time my truck even broke down at a gas station in front of a pump and I could tell the owner of the gas station wasn't all that happy that I was blocking one of his pumps from other customers. Matt came as quick as he could after he finished up with the customer he was with and had my truck up and running in no time. You just simply can't beat that kind of service. I will always call him before I call a tow truck. read more

I want to share a personal anecdote about Need a Brake Owner/Operator Chad Dennis. I had gone into an auto parts store in Cedar Park in March of 2014 and asked the guys behind the counter some questions about removing some surface spotting on my hood. The employees had not a clue, so Chad--who was at the counter making his own purchase--walked me to a product he recommends, and then took the time to actually show me how to use it, even supplying some cloths from his truck! The product is labeled for a different use, and only a pro would have known the tricks he showed me. He refused to take any money for potentially saving me hundreds of dollars, and was extremely candid an honest about how to avoid similar problems in the future. While I have no added business to bring to him now, I can certainly say that this kind of kindness and honesty is rare--and deserves to be rewarded for with my and your business in the future! read more

Matt came out to my house and found out I needed more work so we had to re schedule..when we got the parts right... He came early and got done quick so i could get to work... He does great work. And I would recommend them to anyone who needs a mobile mechanic..that is fast,friendly, and honest! read more

Such great service! I love the fact that Matt comes to you! He's efficient, reliable and fast! He provides a variety of services and I highly recommend him! read more

We will never use another mechanic. We have used Matt twice and he's awesome! He called before he came to make sure it was okay to come early. He is honest and affordable. Instead of paying $120 per diagnosis and leaving our truck at the dealership for 2-3 days, we paid Matt $125 total for coming out to our house and diagnosing and fixing everything. We are so glad we did! read more

Thanks to Matt.. Not only did my Ford Escape start running again, but my O2 sensor in my jeep was fixed. I emailed him to get him out to my house and he was able to get everything done in a hour. I loved that he was honest with me about working on a hybrid and still made it happen. I will be calling him for all future needs on my 2 cars, and will be referring him to anyone I know with mechanical issues.. Thanks again Matt! read more

This is my first time using a mobile mechanic, and I am thoroughly impressed! Matt is a very professional mechanic and person. He came and fixed my truck (it was misfiring on cylinder 2) at my house and fixed my problem by doing a complete tune up in about an hour. I definitely recommend him highly to everyone in need of having repairs done to their vehicles. Great Job Matt! read more

Matt provided me with convenient, quick and professional service. I definitely recommend Need a Brake for any car repair!

Matt's integrity and skill as a mechanic are undeniable. I was amazed and delighted with how responsive and fast he was in resolving my brake replacement. I will trust him with any other issue with my 10 year old car, more than the auto repair shop I've been using. You CANNOT go wrong with Matt...highly recommended! Thanks Matt! read more

I took my car in to a local dealer to have my state inspection and an oil change done. Included was a however-many-point inspection, the result of which told me, among other things, that two of my brake calipers were seized, all of my brake pads needed to be replaced, and the rotors needed to be resurfaced. And the dealer was happy to do this for $2700. When would I like to make an appointment? The inspection also pointed out that all of my tires were worn and would need to be replaced soon. Since I had just had two of the tires the replaced with brand new ones two days before, I decided that maybe I should get a second opinion about the brakes. Enter Need a Brake. After inspecting the brakes, he determined that I did need new brake pads, but the rotors and the calipers were just fine. $300, and my car is braking like a dream thanks to a savings of $2400. And, he comes to your house! No more sitting in waiting rooms or arranging rides. Forget the dealer; I'll call Need a Brake! read more

First time using www.Needabrake.com. OUTSTANDING. Chad is a nice, soft spoken, knowledgeable, conscientious mechanic. He knows his stuff. He's been working on cars for nearly 20 years and specializes on brakes. But he can do most any auto repair. He came to my office about 9:30. Ran to get additional parts that he recommended (he gave me options) and I ordered, and he was driving away at 1pm. You can't beat that. His price was FAIR compared to your Goodyear, Lambs, etc AND he didn't try to oversell me a thing. He pointed out items I may want to watch for, but nothing urgent. He takes credit cards as well. GIVE CHAD A CALL. You can contact him at his website too to arrange a time/place. read more

Contacted Chad and scheduled some work to be done on my teenager's truck. He met me at my office and promptly diagnosed the issue and got busy working to correct the things that needed to be taken care of to ensure my son doesn't get stranded in the road. Chad is helpful, knowledgable, and friendly... and our family highly recommends him! read more

Absolutely outstanding! Matt provided excellent customer service, was extremely responsive and professional. He changed out the front brakes on my crossover for a fraction of the price that auto shops charge and was done in 20 minutes. He also gave me a quote for additional work that needs to be done on my vehicle that I had budgeted thousands for. Matt does fantastic work and saves his customers time and money. I highly recommend!!! read more

Matt was great! Really nice guy. He got the job done quickly and I'm very pleased with the outcome. Saved me over $100 using his services. I highly recommend him! read more

I have now used Need A Brake to work on two of our cars. Not only did Chad do brake jobs right in my driveway, he also made three additional repairs to my son's SUV that cleared the "Check Engine" light and allowed it to pass inspection. I feel like I am cheating every time I have him do work for us, because not only do I not have to go anywhere, I am saving a lot of money. As soon as my daughter gets back from college in a few weeks, he will be working on her car as well. On top of it all, he is just a really nice man. Need A Brake gets my highest recommendation! read more

I do not know very much about cars. So when my truck started vibrating and the check engine light came on, I had no idea what was going on. I am also in college, so on a tight budget, and not where my dad can come and take me to a mechanic. But Need a Brake truly was a God send! My professor knew him, and gave me his card. I called from an auto parts store for a price quote, and he actually just came by! He helped me buy the products in the store and explained to me what needed to be done, and even gave me another tip for when I get my oil changed! I ended up needing a coil changed, and the auto parts store guy told me it would cost $200-300 at a mechanic. He only charged me $20!! Because I don't know anything about cars, a mechanic could very easily take advantage of me, so I'm very suspicious!! I trust Need a Brake and felt like he was trying to take care of me, not rip me off! Definitely recommend him to anyone in the area!! He's great!!!! read more

Matt is a very good man who also does terrific brake work at a fair price! We would call him again in a second for any other repair needs. We highly recommend Need a Brake. read more

Need a Brake was easy to schedule with, prompt, and efficient. I paid less than I would have at a one of the major shops in town and had the added convenience of having the work done at my own home. No coordinating car pick up/drop off or sitting in a waiting room with two small children. You can't put a price on that! Need a Brake made sure that I understood exactly what parts were being replaced and only did the work that was necessary, which I greatly appreciated. I did not feel intimidated by pushy tactics encouraging me to replace more than I really needed to. I will be calling Need a Brake for all of my future car repairs! read more

I had just come out of Walgreens with my 4 year old autistic son and had to rush home to bring my mom (just diagnosed with cancer) some medicine. To my surprise, my car would not start at all. I was in a real bad place since I had nobody to call and my poor son does not do well waiting. Literally out of nowhere, the Need a Brake truck pulled up and Chad got my attention and asked if I needed a jump. He correctly diagnosed the problem as a bad battery and gave me a jump which got me going again. He was so nice and courteous but would not accept any money whatsoever. I was truly impressed and blessed he was there and saved the day. He has a customer for life now. Highly recommend him to anyone and absolute great customer service. I can't say enough good things and look forward to using him in the future. read more

Matt with Need a Break is a life saver! I hate missing work to wait in line at the auto shop and hoping someone fixes my vehicle right. Matt is punctual and meets me wherever I'm stranded! He is very knowledgable and fast. I have used him multiple times and would recommend him to anyone who has vehicle issues! I'll be calling him for an oil change from here on out as well! read more

Almost instant response to messages. Was exactly on time, great price, none of the hassles of having to deal with taking my car to a shop. Highly recommended. read more

I've used Need a Brake for several years now, and I trust Matt's recommendations to help keep my car going strong! He comes to my work place or my home and fixes my car there, so it's super convenient. I love having someone that is convenient and reliable and honest. He and his wife make a great team! If he's not able to answer the phone, it'll transfer to her and she'll get an appt set up in no time. I'll definitely keep using Matt at Need a Brake! read more

We loved working with Chad! He worked on our cars all through college and I felt great knowing I had a mechanic I could truly trust. Recently, Need a Brake changed ownership and the new owner, Matt, is outstanding! Chad could not have left the company in better hands! Matt has worked on my car twice. He gives honest feed back, affordable prices, and one-on-one attention (something you absolutely cannot get at a garage). AND Need a Brake comes to you! I was able to continue working from home while Matt took care of my car rather than spending 3 hours at a garage. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS call Need a Brake! ...So long garages! read more

Great price, great service, and great guy. Matt fixed my issue in no time. I would call him again to fix my car issues. Thank you Matt for the great service. read more

We were in a bit of a bind and called AFTER hours and Matt came out and helped us immediately! What a blessing he was to us tonight! Ran into a few challenges but he stuck it out and got it fixed! THANK YOU MATT!!! We are the 22nd review! read more

Matt was awesome! Came earlier than scheduled, was fast, friendly and had great price! Extremely convenient that he came to my house as it's very hard to get errands done with two small kids! Highly recommend and will contact him again in the future! read more

Chad was at my house in Westlake from Cedar Park in 20 minutes. He had my problem solved in 5 minutes. Very reasonable price for the service that was delivered. I'll be calling again. read more

Chad is fantastic and super HONEST! I love that he comes right to your door to fix your car. No need to wait for hours at a dirty location. I highly recommend Need a Break! read more

Matt was very helpful and answered all my questions with useful information. Honest mechanic and didn't try to hide anything or apply any extra fees. Work done on time, on schedule, and done very well. I highly recommend Need A Brake over a traditional shop. read more

What a great service. A mobile repair service that comes to you. The customer service is outstanding. Prices are consistently lower than dealer and independent shops. I'll be using Need A Brake for all of my repair needs in the future. read more
