My 2015 Corvette needed some major work -- AC compressor replacement, fluid pump, oil change, and a new timing belt -- and Cesar absolutely delivered. He was professional from start to finish, took the time to explain what needed to be done, and treated my car with real care. What stood out most was his attention to detail. You can tell he takes pride in doing things the right way, not the fast way. Everything was completed cleanly, correctly, and without cutting corners. On top of that, he's genuinely personable and easy to talk to, which made the whole experience even better. If you're looking for a mechanic you can trust with high‑performance vehicles, Cesar is the guy. I'll definitely be coming back for future service read more

Requested a diagnostic for a noise I've been hearing for the past week. Was able to fit me in for a last minute appointment and a very fair price. Cesar came to check out my car but as things sometimes go, no noise was heard but was able to rule out wheel bearing issue. Ended up being my driveshaft carrier bearing. Very professional and enthusiastic about his work. Showed me his set up after the test drive. 10/10 would call again if anything comes up. read more

I needed to replace my front and rear brakes on my 2018 Equinox. I received many different quotes from other mechanics, quoting me over $300 for labor only. I reached out to Refined Auto with the same request, and it was a more reasonable price, especially since I had no idea if I needed to do anything to my rotors. My dad was present while Cesar worked on my car, and my dad gave me such a glowing review of how Cesar worked. My dad has not been able to stop talking about how Cesar did an amazing job on my car, how clean he works, how he keeps his tools, and his communication. My dad was so impressed with the quality of work Cesar provided on my car that he decided to get a quote for replacing his rotors. When Ceasr finished on my car, he let me know that my brake fluid was not in good condition. He drained my brake fluid and replaced it with new fluid. He explained to me in detail that brake fluid should not be topped off. I had no idea, and apparently, my dad didn't know either, and we had topped it off because it was low. Now, I know, for future reference, that when it's low, I should replace my brakes. I appreciate the work that Cesar did on my car and his communication. I will absolutely use his service again and recommend him to friends and family. read more

First time using a mobile mechanic to get out a stuck pcv valve. He got the job done. The reason for 3 stars is that while doing the job he ended up breaking one of the clips that hold the wires and didn't even tell me that it happened. Nor did he show up to fix it. Update: he did end up fixing it a couple of days later read more

Great experience with Refined Auto Mobile Repair. Ceaser gave me a fair price to install my alternator and diagnose an oil leak, and didn't try to upsell anything. Everything was done quickly, efficiently, and professionally. Honest and reliable service. I highly recommend him. read more

5 Stars - Refined Auto Repair Is Truly a Blessing! I had SUCH an amazing experience with Cesar at Refined Auto Repair . He is honestly one of the most trustworthy and genuine mechanics I've ever met. Instead of just charging me for things I didn't need, he took the time to explain everything from brake materials to why I was hearing that little screech. His honesty and integrity really touched me . Even after he told me I didn't need all the brake services, I chose to go ahead anyway just for my own safety and peace of mind (I'm just a girl in a tiny car out here ), and I'm SO glad I did. My car sounds perfect now no more screeching at all! Cesar went above and beyond, and you can truly feel how much he cares about his work and his customers. Mechanics like him are RARE. I'm so grateful I found someone I can trust with my car and my safety . If you're looking for honesty, skill, and a mechanic with a heart, PLEASE go to Refined Auto Repair. Cesar has definitely earned a loyal customer for life . Thank you again, Cesar!!! read more

My car wouldn't start randomly one evening so I reached out to a bunch of auto repair companies on Yelp for quotes. Refined Auto Repair responded back within the evening quoting $50 for diagnosis and the diagnosis fee will go towards any repair cost if necessary and agreed on the same day. This was a far better deal than the 10 other shops I inquired for quotes (typically $100 for diagnosis fee or flat $350 fee for total repair). This is mobile only so be prepared to schedule a visit meaning it will take a a couple of days if they are busy. Caesar came over at 1pm on a Sunday. Immediately figured out it was a battery issue due to a weak start and the fact that my battery was 6 years old. We hashed out the details for the total repair cost which I was happy enough to take the deal. He mentioned the battery he will provide will have a 3 year warranty (I am going to quote this on 12/15/2024 in the future) and he will swap out the old battery for a new one if 3 years hasn't lapsed which should be easy because the battery was purchased under his account. He also mentioned his battery should last about it 5-6 years. He took out the old battery and tried cleaning the battery terminal which was eroded and hardened due to years of battery acid seeping in. As he was cleaning the terminal, I asked him details on how one can tell if the issue is the starter or the battery and he explained that if it was the starter, the car wouldn't start at all but mine had a weak start instead. After 10 minutes of attempting to clean it, it was concluded that the battery acid had hardened the terminal to the point where the latches wouldn't release so he replaced the battery terminal with a new one free of charge and then he went off to purchase my new battery. Caesar came back within 20 months and the new battery was replaced and the car was up and running smoothly. The whole ordeal took about an hour. Zelle was the preferred payment method. Caesar mentioned he also does variety of other things such as oil change, etc so I had him check my oil and it was fine. I will definitely be reaching out to Caesar in the future for my auto repair needs. Update: After the battery replacement, my car still ran into problems although a weak start was no longer the issue. What ended up happening was that the engine would rumble when idling and there would be a delay in acceleration after stopping the car at stop signs and even turned off occasionally. Caesar came by two more times to diagnosis the issue over the span of two weeks and he was able to clean the throttle body which finally fixed the issue! I had some doubts at first but Caesar came through. Apparently the throttle body had too much gunk in it which prevent enough air flow into the car. I am very happy with the results. read more

Called last minute because when I was replacing my spark plug, the old one snapped off. It needed to be extracted out of the car. Caesar was able to extract the old spark plug and finished the spark plug replacement. He was able to squeeze me in same day. He was very professional and the price is very reasonable. Would recommended giving him a call for any mobile mechanic needs. read more

I appreciate Refined Auto Repair mobile services! Cesar is great in communication, showing up on time and works efficiently and quickly. This is my second time working with him as he replaced my brakes and rotors in my Jeep Wrangler. I immediately noticed the difference and feel so much safer driving now. We communicated prices up front and I feel like his prices hold a great value and are fair. I will 100% use his services again! read more

Cesar was efficient and honest with the job. I thought I needed my breaks replaced and he was able to use his camera to check the padding for each tire. He diagnosed the issue quickly and gave a fair price for the diagnosis. Would definitely use again. read more

I brought my car in to have the water pump replaced, which was the only known issue with my vehicle at the time. Before the work was done, my car was able to start and drive. The only problem I was dealing with was a dead battery less than two weeks prior. While I do appreciate that the water pump itself was replaced, my vehicle was returned to me in significantly worse condition. My car now does not start at all. I was later told that during the repair process, a mistake was made because the technician chose to "roll the dice" instead of properly testing or diagnosing the vehicle before beginning the work. I was also told there could have been other issues, but that cannot be confirmed since no attempt was made to test or start the car beforehand. What was originally an approximately $800 repair has now turned into over $1,500 in additional diagnostic and repair costs. This is extremely frustrating and concerning, as basic diagnostic steps should be standard before performing major repairs. I would strongly recommend that others make sure their vehicle is properly tested and documented before authorizing work here. My experience resulted in my car being left in worse condition and significantly increased costs. The point of my complaint isnt about the money that was sent back because a rightful person would send the money back if they made the issue biggerwhich they did. I appreciate them sending me my money back and continuing to fix the water pump. My issue is the NEW cost i am going to have to now pay due to the mistakes the mechanic made; in conclusion thank you for sending the money back it's the right thing to do when a mistake is made that big. read more

Thanks for coming out and being honest about the last visit and, mostly, your work! Cesar sent me pictures of the process (do I know what's going on or what am I seeing? No lol but the work looked cleaned) read more

Can't recommend this mechanic enough. He came to me and extracted two broken bolts on the top of my engine that another mechanic broke and didn't finish, which caused another issue. He also replaced my valve cover gasket, making sure everything was done the right way and not rushed. His prices are great, but the quality of work is even better. Communication was solid, everything was explained clearly, and most importantly--he's trustworthy. I'll definitely be using him again. read more

He did a great job. Things went well. He has great knowledge and is very professional. He knows a lot about A/C. I will definitely give him a call when I have any issues with my car. Thank you for your service. Zz read more

Cesar was wonderful!! We took our car into Carmax (we have Max Care) and they spent a day doing the diagnostics but then couldn't do the work for another week. An error message came up after our appointment and it wouldn't stop beeping so we needed the repair done asap! I contacted Refined Auto Repair and they sent a straightforward bid within 30 minutes and were out the next day to do the repair. He communicated when he would arrive, explained the work he was doing and didn't try and upsell me. He just did great work and got it done! And he did it in our driveway! Highly recommend and will be contacting him again in the future with our auto repairs. read more

Highly recommend - Cesar came out and assessed the A/C issue on my daughter's VW Beetle at our home and was able to fix it on the spot in a timely manner. Great value, took very little time with the appointment and coming to us versus dropping off at some garage, and a fraction of the price. Will also come and do oil changes and other things which I plan to do next later this summer. Give it a try I highly recommend! read more

Cesar and his wife were both great! So easy to get a quote and came the next day to repair everything. I love the mobile service aspect. Didn't even have to leave my house. Pricing was great in comparison to commercial businesses. read more

Paid to have my brakes replaced, only to have my brakes sound even worse AFTER having them "replaced". The tech didn't text me that he'd be late until the time he was already supposed to be here. He showed up an hour late, charged me more than the quoted price, and my brakes sounded like crap the very next morning. I complained and was sent back the difference from what was charged and told to let them know so they can come back and check my brakes. Took my car to a few other mechanics to get looked at since then and all agreed I got ripped off. Contacted this place again and never heard back. Don't waste your money. For the record, job was done July 23rd. I reached out again ONE month later on August 26th (after business told me to reach out so they can come back and check work) and was left on read by business. Now that I've left a negative review, I immediately get a response. read more

Wonderful service, communicative owner. Handled my car with extreme care for detail, would recommend and would come back. Thank you Cesar.

After contacting mobile mechanics for the last week I came across Cesar who responded right away and gave me a fair price. I needed to get the belt replaced asap! He came out same day he and got the job done. He was very knowledgeable and even helped me jump start my car. Thank you Cesar! We will definitely be coming back! read more

I'm always a little sketchy about trying out a new mechanic, but I felt comfortable with Cesar after speaking with him about the proposed scope of work for the brake service and recent reviews. He arrived earlier than expected, which was convenient for me. He was professional, answered questions while he worked, and allowed me to oversee his work. He worked quickly and didn't show any hesitation; he definitely knew what he was doing. His pricing was very competitive, but his advantage was that he came to me. I've already asked him for an estimate for a clutch replacement. read more

Request assistance on my vehicle that was not starting up the engine but battery and light would turn on. Over a holiday weekend they were able to come to my home and fix the issue in less than 2 hrs. Originally I thought it was a starter fuse issue -- turns out it was the whole starter. They were communicative about what was going on and went to get the part immediately. It cost $420 for labor and part all together. It was great to see how fast he was able to get all the work done and my car has been running great the last few days. Overall 10/10 service and communication read more

Fast and friendly service. He was very helpful and educational at the same time. I would highly recommend using them especially if you don't have time driving and leaving your car some where. read more

We had such a great experience! From start to finish, he was friendly, professional, and easy to work with.

I would absolutely recommend his services to anyone looking for an honest, reliable, and skilled mechanic. read more

100% would recommend. Cesar was 100% top notch. Scheduled an appointment for 10 am. Was able to get out earlier at 9 and had my car done by 10:30. Told him the other problems I was having and was able to diagnose it for free and quoted me on the spot. If you are looking for a mobile mechanic this this the company you want. Thank you again read more
