    RIP OFF !! Tried to charge me over 1,000$ for new brake pads and rodars!!! I have an 07 Honda weird. I ended up going to another shop and showing them them the Quote they gave me and they totally agreed that the amount was way too for brakes and rodars, I paid 195 for new brake pads and rodars all around :) Y'all be blessed tho.

    Large clean waiting area
    Elisha R.

    This place is great, came here because i needed a brake & light test to take to the DMV, i didnt realize that this was some special test. This was the 4th place i went to and thank goodness they actually did them. The outside as well as inside are beautiful. This is the cleaness auto shop ive EVER seen. The staff are super nice, hi Oliver. They have snacks and drinks in the waiting area. There is plenty of parking, they offer rides. And my car passed all test and no problem at the DMV. I will be back

    Getting my trailer brakes worked on.
    Jason R.

    This shop is simply the best. I have brought a few cars and this time my trailer to get some preventative maintenance work done. They are not the cheapest shop but you get what you pay for and they are very honest. If you want to get your Vehicle fixed right the first time this is your place!

    See all

If you can get through to them they often will not have any idea what is happening. They held my vehicle for over a month with no real updates. Each fix seemed to make things worse. I would get new and different quotes for the same services depending on their mood. There is also at least one guy when I was there living in a van in the shop perennially smoking weed. I'm all for freedom but dude... this is a mechanic shop with dangerous tools and customer vehicles. They aren't insured and they aren't on BBB so there is little recourse outside of direct legal action so beware.

    I've known Martin wayyyy back from when he used to do mobile onsite RV repair a long time ago when…read moreI had my RV parked in my driveway that had the water heater fail and spring a leak from not doing preventative maintenance that I didn't know I needed to do. Well, he knew right away what to do and replaced the broken part within minutes!!!! All the while making me laugh and feel at ease! Such a funny guy! He no longer does mobile on-site repair these days since he got his shop but I think it is much better that way since he has all the tools that he needs right there to work in such a big shop for a speedy quality repair. He's done the full spectrum of upgrades and repairs for me over the years for really reasonable prices! I've gone to many other RV repair places in the past before him but never have they matched the level of knowledge, passion, quality repair work, service and reliability that continues to this day at the RV Repair guy shop in Long Beach with his team of mechanics! Their solar panel system installations seriously can't be matched in quality work, safety detail and design. These guys can do it all! Highly impressed with their pricing too! Nowadays it is getting increasingly difficult to find quality RV repair work these days with so many RV shops closing down but thankfully Martin and his team have been a great pillar of support to the RV community! I've referred him to every single Southern California RV owner I know and even though I moved away to San Diego, I don't mind at all driving up to his shop to get anything done from preventative maintenance, to repairs and upgrades! They never let me down! Look no further than these champs and let's keep them going as they are a wonderful asset to Southern California especially the RV owners here! I've seen them do incredible work on not just RVs, but buses, trucks, and more it is amazing! I highly recommend! As I write this it is going into winter, so I'm driving up from San Diego on the 5 freeway and having him do a checkup for me to make sure I won't have any leaks before any winter rains come through since it has been quite a while and I rather feel safe than sorry with keeping my RV in top shape! Thanks RV repair guys!

    I visited this shop to inquire about the cost of replacing the hydraulic brake pump and sway bar…read morebushings. Roxanne greeted me kindly and informed me that I would need to return later for Allen to inspect the RV. I provided her with the make and model of my RV and asked for a general price range for the services. About an hour later, Roxanne called back and said I would need to bring in the RV and leave it overnight for a $200 inspection. I explained that I am a full-time RV'er, and she scheduled me for an 8 AM appointment the next day. I agreed. Shortly after, Allen called me and said he could only provide an estimate after inspecting the vehicle. While I understood his approach, I simply asked if he could provide a general pricing structure for those specific replacements. His response? "Are you stupid?!" I was shocked by the unprofessionalism. I calmly replied, "Excuse me, sir, please show some respect. I haven't disrespected you; I am just asking for your standard pricing for this service." He then yelled, "You don't tell me how to run my business!" At that point, I decided to take my business elsewhere. If this is how he treats potential customers, I can only imagine the level of care and respect given to their vehicles. To inform others, I've attached the phone conversation as proof. After checking their Google reviews--where they hold a 3-star rating--I realized I should have done my research beforehand. To any future customers, I highly recommend checking reviews and researching businesses before entrusting them with your vehicle.

(As far as I know he didn't even order the parts) This has been over 6 months and nothing yet.) I was told by a reliable source that he thinks he can get away with it because 2 of his kids are lawyers.

    Nick's Mobile came through when I needed it most…read more I was at Bonelli Bluffs the weekend before Halloween and my new trailer suddenly lost shore power. Not the kind of problem you want to deal with on a trip. I called Nick and he responded right away. He made time to come out the same day. He diagnosed the issue quickly and knew exactly what was wrong. The automatic transfer switch had failed. Instead of delaying the repair, he tracked down the part himself, picked it up, and came back to install it. That level of effort matters when you are on a tight timeline. The repair was clean and professional. Power was restored and my entire weekend was back on track. What could have been a ruined trip turned into a great one. He did not stop there. He worked through the warranty process and made sure the repair was covered. I ended up fully reimbursed by the manufacturer. That saved me money and a lot of hassle. Nick goes above and beyond. He is responsive, knowledgeable, and committed to taking care of his customers. If you need mobile RV service, this is the guy to call. Nick if you see this, I truly apologize for such a late review. My mother in law stills talks about how nice you were and was happy that you stayed for a meal with us!

    So awhile back (June ish) I used Nick to check in on a refrigerator repair and he point out some…read morestuff quickly and had some solutions. During the process there was some wood that was jacked up around the fridge where it anchors to the cabinets. I'm not overly picky just like bare minimums for my rig..but I wasn't thrilled because the fridge didn't stand straight. Nonetheless Nick said whether it was like that before or from his install he'd handle it next time around. Welp 7 months later my roof is leaking, I found again for roof leak repairs and he quoted, came out in a couple days, had it worked up, threw a little extra seal along the roof gutter that came off at material cost only..and he honored what he said from 7 months prior by finding pieces to anchor the fridge while doing the roof work at no extra charge. Additionally, I found a small leak from a clamp when using the hot water heater and he stopped by the campground on 24 hour notice and found the origin of the leak and fixed that for me quickly too (no charge). I'm happy with his response to the previous issue and quick turnaround time and will use him for quite a few other projects moving forward!
