I can't say enough good things about VAG Mobile Mechanic. From the very first message, the experience was smooth and professional. They were quick to respond, clearly explained the issue with my vehicle, and provided an honest and fair estimate before starting any work. The convenience of having a skilled mechanic come directly to my location was a huge plus. What really stood out was the level of knowledge and attention to detail. They took the time to properly diagnose the problem instead of just guessing or pushing unnecessary repairs. Throughout the process, everything was explained in a way that was easy to understand, which made me feel confident and informed. The work was completed efficiently, and my car has been running perfectly since. It's refreshing to find a mechanic who is reliable, transparent, and genuinely cares about the quality of their work. No pressure, no upselling--just honest, expert service. If you own a VW, Audi, or any TDI vehicle and want dealership-level expertise without the dealership hassle or pricing, VAG Mobile Mechanic is the way to go. Highly recommended, and I'll definitely be using them again for future maintenance and repairs. read more

Frederick was very skilled, very professional, and good to work with. He brought all tools and supplies to my place of business, and performed the service quickly, cleanly, and with good communication. Location was mid-city LA. TDI owners know that it is hard to find an experienced diesel mech in the LA area. For the experience and flexibility, this is a great service. Reccomend. read more

I have a 2012 Audi A6 3.0 Supercharged, my vehicle was recently experiencing overheating issues. The Audi dealer confirmed this and gave me a ridiculous estimate to replace my thermostat and water pump. My biggest fear was that I may have damaged my engine or components. I called Fred, who gave me an extremely reasonable quote for labor and parts. Fred showed up at my house and did the repairs in my garage. He looked at the engine and confirmed that it looked good and recommended proceeding with the repairs. The Audi supercharged engines are very hard to work with because you have to pull the heavy supercharger off of the vehicle before any work can be done. Fred knew exactly what he was doing, and expertly disconnected all of the wiring, pipes, and hoses. Pulled the supercharger, moved some additional cabling out of the way disconnected belts, and quickly replaced the thermostat and water pump. He put the supercharger back on connected all the wiring, pipes, and belts, and then using a scanner checked to make sure the work was performed correctly. The final step was to top off with new coolant and let the engine warm up, bleeding air out of the system and running it for a while before he cleaned up. Fred provided me with expert service and value. I highly recommend him for all Audi, VW, and Diesel work. read more

Best mobile mechanic in the area! If you got a diesel vehicle Fred knows the ins and outs and can take apart and put together the engine in less than 2 hours and that's just in the parking lot I can only imagine if he was in the garage with a full hoist and Jack! Super reliable guy if he can't make it that day he will call you and let you know ahead of time and he'll make it work. No bullshit and straightforward he'll tell you what you need to do and what needs to be done best prices in town and the best part about it he's mobile! I had him fixed two sprinter (T1N) vans 2006/2005 one was simple and one he had to tear apart the engine and found the problem straight away and put it back together with a breeze. I can't say enough about Fred but one thing's for sure he's my main guy I go to for any future mechanical issues and the guy I refer to if anyone need any vehicle repairs. read more

Vag Mobile Mechanic - 2006 sprinter (T1N) harmonic balancer replacement Had it done in less than 2 hours! - Auto Repair Near Me

It's been 2 years since my first review. And 2 years later, my Audi with 185k miles is still running strong. All the awesome work that Fred's put in over the years has kept my car running like new. Everything under the hood is great, and this past visit, he worked on my suspension (because after 185k miles, suspension is going to need some work!). How many of you can say you own a German car with 185k+ miles? With Fred's help, I'm keeping my car for many more years to come. Long live the manual transmission / stick shift! read more

Fred is amazing! For about a year now, he's been working on all my Volkswagens and has done nothing but quality work. His knowledge of these cars is second nature, to the point I think he could do a TDI timing belt in his sleep. He's been especially helpful with our project car, a 1996 Passat TDI. He's helped us convert the turbo to variable geometry and source parts for a proper upgrade. He works on all VAG cars, but his knowledge runs especially deep with TDIs. He does great work and his prices are also reasonable. read more

Vag Mobile Mechanic - Fred working on our 1996 Passat project car - Auto Repair Near Me

Follow up on Fred. Your comment about bad karma because I wanted a partial refund on the cooling system flush or lack of , my karma is good, I was lucky enough to find what you missed during your maintenance of our vw TDI. I told you the dealer said the fans were not working properly or if at all ? We wanted to maintain our cars, I thought you would scan the cars to check for any issues or future issues. I also told you the coolant was contaminated , I paid you what you asked for to flush the cooling system, you did flush the cooling system, you missed the cooling fans not working. For a professional on TDI's , you should know the importance of a working clean cooling system. One more thing, starting the car without priming the fuel system after having it apart is not the best thing for the high pressure fuel pump. ( already a major problem with these cars) the continued cranking until it starts does damage!! You have the equipment to sit in the car and prime it in 2-3 minutes max. You got your feelings hurt because I watched you work, I'm a mechanic also, why not learn? I only wanted half of the fee you charged back for doing nothing and leaving a mess in the car and on the street. You refused. You also refuse to fiix the valve cover leak I paid you to fix 4 months ago If anyone uses Fred, get the warranty in writing. And beware he is in a rush on every job and does the minimal work to complete the job He torques nothing on engine work. Says he doesn't need to? Watch a NHRA team rebuild there engine 3 times a day at the track, they do it day in and day out. They still torque EVERYTHING, it's the right way to do the job right and not have a problem later. Every engine guy who does reliable and quality work knows this. Just watch him work on your car , critical parts laying on top of the engine or whateve. Dirt is bad in fuel systems. Fuel injectors laying on paper or cardboard. I'm just listing some of the issues we've had with him Ask for proof of training he has, he should be ok with that, references from past shops. I'm sure to most people, just having your car fixed cheap is great. Fred could be a great mechanic, but he rushes through the job, doesn't pay attention to detail, and doesn't do maintenance like a professional who looks for problems , like my cooling fans not working, especially after allegedly serving the cooling system. Don't you bring the engine to operating temperature to make sure the system is bleed? Or maybe scan the car when you have a new client who wants yoi to be their go to mechanic for everything? Preventive maintenance !! Not when it breaks, Fred. I hope this helps some of you. I found the things Fred missed ny buying a scanner for our cars. Otherwise I would think Fred did a good job. then when it over heated I wouldnt have known it could have been prevented so easy with a 2 minute scan. maube a blwn head gasket. How many people do you think never know what could have been prevented? We put trust in opinions instead of facts Ask for written reciepts and warrentys. Otherwise you have no record or proof of what was done. Its the proper way a professional does bussiness, covers both parties read more

Had a rough idle in my RV with a Ford Triton 6.8L V10 engine. The OBD was showing misfires and running lean. Fred came out and changed the plugs and coils, as well as replacing the battery and changing the oil. The RV runs great now. Fred was very efficient in getting the work done and it was so much easier than taking the RV to a shop to get fixed. He is very honest and told me I could probably get by with the existing battery for longer. I decided to change it out anyway so we don't have any issues on our next big trip. I will be using Fred for all future service on my RV and autos. I highly recommend him. read more

Fred does very good work. Every problem I have had with my car he figures out and fixes. He is very straightforward and easy to work with. The schedule I work would not work with most companies but Fred will work with you and get you taken care of. read more

Vag Mobile Mechanic - Timing belt and water pump change - Auto Repair Near Me

My 2007 F150 that had a mis-fire engine code. I hired Fred to replace all the plugs and coils. After pulling the plugs, he discovered the mis-firing cylinder had a spark plug thread sleeve that went bad (installed by a previous owner since I only owned the truck for less than 2 years). The fix was to get a spark plug thread repair kit and tap new threads. He found the kit at a local auto parts store and was able to install the plug and get my truck running again. The thread repair was unexpected and took more time, but Fred was able to complete the job. That was 3 months ago and my truck has been running well since. I highly recommend Fred and his mobile mechanic service! read more

He is a very knowledgeable about TDI cars. Fred did the timing belt and many other maintenance on my high mileage car, he set the fuel pump timing back to spec that other mechanic missed.

Honest mechanic! Very rare to find nowadays who is willing to tell me what i need, not to push when i can't afford, and even help me think of alternative!

Fredrico may be a young European VW/Audi Lisbon factory trained mechanic, but his training and accomplished craftsmanship can be seen in the end product. He is prompt and courteous. My minimum labor bid at a local shop was 40hrs for a timing chain replacement on an R32 V6, which is ridiculous if ever you've been to VW/Audi forum, it's a 9-10hr job... Fredrico came through in under two days just as promised. The guy knows what he's doing... He also did a Transmission service since it was out. 2 weeks later Fred dropped by to install new rotors and brakes: (Custom catalog by CQUENCE, slotted, dimpled, Zinc finished... Paired with Ferodo Premiere pads). Feels like new. I'd recommend a visit. read more

My little Chevy Aveo break lights would not go off & I panicked because the light being left on drained my old battery & I had to replace it with a new battery right away, but after I replaced my battery the break light still would not shut off, so I sent a message to Vag Mobile Mechanic the next morning & even though he himself was too busy to come take a look he sent his partner to my home & Max was great he took a look & realized it was the break switch that needed to be replaced he went & bought the part 15 mins later the break switch was fixed I so appreciate him coming to fix my car on Super Bowl Sunday, not only was the service convenient but excellent as well. Thank you so much for your help you guys are AWESOME!! read more

I drive a 300sd 1984 Mercedes. I always stay up on my maintenance. it deemed she was due for a diesel engine valve adjustment. I have a mechanic from a shop but he is unreliable. so I looked around and I found Fred's number. I messaged him and he quoted me labor only as I had the valve cover gasket. it was a very fair price. if you want to have the correct and knowledgeable people to do your job right the first time. Fred is the guy. The quality of their work speaks for them. he shared that the valves were tight and that it was going to run beautiful because of his back to spec adjustment. we started her up and she purred shuts off on a second and starts up on a dime. idle is super smooth, engine is quieter no click clacking, she just sounds and feels like new. I drove her to pick up a battery terminal that he recommended for me to replace. he offered to fix it for me but I deem its something I had to fix right away as it was causing a short. for any future work he is my go to guy! text him your make and model and what you want done. he is fair definitely much cheaper than a shop. im so happy that my diesel now has more power and idles like butter. can't wait to see my MPG's go up.he mentioned he works on all kinds of cars! read more

It was time to purchase my very first car, which was so exciting, maybe too exciting, because I bought it, used, without any inspection or second opinions. Long story short, it was breaking down as soon as I begun the drive home from the dealership. I called Fred, and asked if he could come take a look, and was able to fit me into his schedule for that same day! He explained to me all the reasons why this particular used car was a total lemon, and instead of trying to up charge me on everything the car needed, he was honest and empathetic in his delivery of the news: it would be cheaper to return the car and utilize the money towards something more sustainable. After much more research, I found a wonderful 2016 VW Beetle at a used dealership, I called Fred and asked if he was willing to take a look at it before I bought it to avoid another sour purchase. He went above and beyond by driving out to Orange County to give the car a thorough inspection and with his seal of approval I bought my dream car, this time, working, running, and in long term sustainable condition. I can't thank Fred enough for his efforts and time. He could have easily took advantage of my initial situation and charged me to mend my first purchase but his integrity & honesty really shined through. I'm so thankful for past Yelp reviews that led me to his services. Thank you so much! read more
