I do not recommend. He swindled both me and my 19-year-old daughter. He overcharged me for the work…read moreon my truck; gave no receipt or written estimate, and never completed the job. After he worked on mine, I had several new issues: eval leaks, battery voltage problems, and a coolant sensor issue. The truck kept not starting sometimes or it would take a few min to. None of these problems existed before he worked on it. The engine light came back on after he worked on it, and he claimed it was my gas cap. I don't have a gas cap.
Then he worked on my daughter's truck twice. The first time was before he worked on mine. After the first time, she gave him a $500 deposit. She paid $100 for towing, totaling $1000 for the job. He was paid on a Wednesday, $500 upfront, with the rest to be paid after he did the job. The parts arrived on Thursday, then he lied for the next six days straight, saying he was getting her truck with his car dolly, then he said he was coming to tow it with a rope and his mom was helping. The next day, he said the tow company was coming by 5 pm, then claimed they charged him but didn't show up. He didn't know why and didn't know they didn't come because he moved off the property. Then he claimed he would be taking her truck to his shop. Every day from Wednesday to Monday, he had a new excuse daily. My daughter asked for the parts and the $500 back within a couple of days of the truck still sitting at her house, but he refused, saying it doesn't work that way.
When he finally picked it up, on Monday, she was stuck because he wouldn't refund the money. The timing chain was supposedly bad, according to two shops. I told him to check the valves, and if they were bad, we'd get a new motor; if not, we'd do the timing chain. He agreed but then claimed he didn't check the valves because he doesn't do free work, even though we agreed he would ch the valves first. Instead, he supposedly changed the timing chain and water pump, knowing the valves were bad. We never wanted the water pump changed, but he insisted we purchase the timing chain that came with a water pump.
After six days of lies, he towed the truck to his mom's house using a rope, with his mom steering. hOn Sunday, He claimed his shop was closed on weekends and he would be there Monday. He has no shop. It's his mom's front yard. This was 6 days since he was supposed to have towed her truck. Once he finally got the truck to his mom's house, he changed the timing chain and water pump, knowing that wasn't the issue. He told me I need to understand this is how he makes his living. My daughter is out almost $1500 and still has no running vehicle.
We went to his mom's house to check the vehicle, and the motor was still taken apart. We had to wait until Friday to get the non-working vehicle and rented a car dolly for another $50. He had the nerve to say he'd charge us $40 a day for storage if we didn't get it by 5 pm Friday. When we arrived, the motor was still not put together. The battery was working when we put it on the dolly, but when we went to unload it the battery was completely dead. I videotaped our last interaction with him and my husband asked him to put it back together. We waited until he did that, and then he lied to my husband, stating my daughter ran it without oil twice. This was the first he had ever said anything about the oil. It was also a false statement. He also claimed he took it apart to check the Valves after he did the work. Makes NO sense. We paid him the remaining $500 to get her keys and truck. It was $900 for his services and $100 to tow it to his shop (his mom's). Altogether, We gave him around $3,600.. for all Services and it ended up costing me more money by the end.. Unfortunately, I just figured him out after the fact.. Don't make the same mistake. Don't take a chance with Waters Mobile Mechanics.. I will be reporting him because he is not a certified mechanic, as he claimed to be. He doesn't have a shop, as he stated he did. I'm also reporting him for Fraudulent work, and filing a small claims against him. The so called owner with no business license is mad that I put the review so he commented on my review after i posted it. I'm now updating this review. Nothing he commented is True. our relationship was business ONlY. have 4 daughters. No Sons!!! No women of my stature would dare be interested in him. However, he has shown his true character by making such horrible false claims and lies, SO Now I will be adding defamation of character and violating my first amendment, right to his lawsuit. I've already took a screenshot of his comment...In my opinion is He is a Very dishonest. Please safe your self from dealing with a person like this. He is only mad that he scammed the wrong person!! Have a blessed day. I have added some keys screenshots that show it was business ONLY and he knew I was married, he met my Husband a couple hours before his comment: In my opinion i highly recommend do not use him.
