WOW this is the best place to go for auto repair because they can be trusted no matter what! I'd give them 10 stars if I could because this is a company that really treats you like a person and makes you feel like they really care about the cost and trying to keep it reasonable in this crazy economy . Mike and crew should be commended for their excellent service and quality of car repair. read more

I definitely recommend Mike and his Crew at A &M if u want honest quality work and peace of mind while your car is in the shop he's your guy no jobs too big or too small they get it done. read more

I brought my vehicle in for a whining in the power steering, was quoted $1600 for a new power steering pump + rack & pinion. A week later my lower passenger side ball joint fell out while I was driving, luckily not on the freeway. I came in to let the business know they misdiagnosed my vehicle, and showed them pictures as well. The manager Mike greeted me very rudely and told me that they can't predict the future, and it's an old vehicle. Then ended the conversation with a remark of "I'm trying to close up the shop" instead of addressing or caring about my concerns. Thank goodness my children were not in the car when it happened. I would not recommend this place to anyone for any reason, they will not make sure your vehicle is safe for the roads, your family or others. read more

I've taken my Mazda to A&M a handful of times within the last year and they're always very helpful. The service is great and the mechanics are very knowledgeable. read more

I messaged them on Yelp the day before Thanksgiving. Keep in mind that this is a holiday where many people travel and they need their vehicles to do so. Mike, the owner, was very friendly and helpful. I asked if he could help me diagnose why my check engine light came on. He could have easily said no, they were busy (which they definitely were). He used his mobile diagnosis machine to detect what the error message was. I really appreciated his time and generosity. Visit your local shops and support them! They need and appreciate your support. read more

A & M Mobile Mechanic - Auto Repair Near Me - Lakeside, California

This was my first time using a mobile mechanic- in the past I've either brought my car somewhere, had my car towed somewhere, or finished jobs I started in my driveway on my own. Watched a couple YouTube videos on replacing front end struts & started the job myself at home ... and managed to get the old struts out but after multiple attempts to install the new struts I realized I couldn't do it- and now the car was in no position to be moved... yikes! Other people's reviews pointed me to A&M in my area and I am so glad to have had the pleasure to interact with their office staff & the tech who came out to my driveway- it's like working with family (those you like to work with) & left me more than satisfied that the job was now done. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire process if that makes sense- I enjoyed THEM tremendously. read more

A&M has worked on all my cars for 15 years. Never had a problem. Office staff has very friendly and MIKE always does great work. read more

I called to get a quote and schedule to get my vehicle checked out since it's having issues starting. I called yesterday with a lady stating she will see what they have available and she will call me back . I never got called back .. and no I didn't call to late I called around 3 . Since I didn't receive a call back , I called this morning because I understand people forget and got a lot going on but .. i wasn't able to get through (I called at 9am ) so I'm thinking maybe there busy I'll call on my lunch break called again and nothing .. I heard good things about the mechanic sadly I won't be able to work with them since the office personal just failed me .. I also work in The automotive industry so that sucks I didn't receive good customer service. First impressions are everything read more

Mike is the best!!! He's honest and always tries his best to accommodate his customers. As an example, my boyfriend's car recently wouldn't start. We live in North County and Mike was able to squeeze us into the schedule for his mobile van that was up in the area already that day. His employees quickly assessed and figured out the issue. They then drove the vehicle down to Mike's shop and we are picking it up today. All in all I would recommend A&M mobile mechanic to everyone!! read more

Five stars, no question. Mike is a very good mechanic, and an honest man. He combines top technical skills with excellent customer-facing personality. Estimates are always very competitive, and I've never had any surprises. Oh wait, occasionally the job has come in under the estimate - I guess that's a surprise! His staff are all of similar excellence. I get the impression that Mike couldn't stand to work with anybody who didn't share his commitment. Mike has creativity if the job needs it, and excellence and safety always. I go miles out of my way to come to Lakeside to obtain Mike's service. You should too. read more

Fast, honest, and fair prices. I couldn't ask for more from a mechanic. This is the only place my family will take our vehicles and the only place I would recommend. read more

I have been taking my cars to A&M for over 12 years. I take my personal card and company fleet trucks to Mike and the crew. They stand behind there work and are very honest in what they are doing and what needs to be done. I have complete faith that the job is done correct and in a timely fashion. Highly recommend these guys. read more

Mike is the sweetest. I'm a regular, and they give honest and reliable service for a fair price :)

Took my 2010 Toyota Corolla Sport in for a brake job after my car started shaking when I applied my brakes. Mike took care of my car and had it in and out the next day all while working with my budget. My car no longer shakes and my brakes work amazingly thank you so much A & M!! read more

A&M Mobile Mechanic Inc. is owned by the only mechanic, I trust, Mike. I first met him when he came to my home via his mobile auto service over 10 years ago. I was recommended to him by a female friend at that time. He is a life savior when it comes to automobiles. I have been having auto work done on my vehicle at the A&M physical shop located in Lakeside at12307 Lakeshore Dr. Lakeside, CA 92040 (shop phone number-(619) 938-2004). Mike has the highest integrity with honesty that is hard to find for a customer needing an auto mechanic. Mike has always taken care of my vehicles while keeping them running smoothly and in excellent order. Mike is very fair, trustworthy, down-to-earth, and genuine in all ways. Lorraine is working in the front office at this time. Lorraine is more than helpful and kind. I urge any person having a need for a vehicle diagnosis, repair, etc. to reach out to Mike via phone to schedule an appt. Phone number: (619) 938-2004 read more

Always friendly good service, went in for an oil change. Quick response, was able to squeeze me in same day and was quick to pick up. They always provide good quality service and friendly helpful customer service read more

I've been extremely impressed by their prices, service, and reliability. They do a great job all around!

I had a dead battery and they charged me $98 to install it. Although the technician was very helpful I think I got rooked by these guys. AAA would have installed it for free and just charged me the cost of the battery. I called these guys just to check the battery because AAA had told me it was still good so I wanted to check it out with a second opinion. Don't let these people scam you. read more

My car is a 1951 plymouth. I was stumped on a few things and called A&M after finding them on next-door. The young lady on the phone was extremely frofessional and very nice. Made me feel at ease right away and glad I called. Andrew and Mike came out and fixed my problem in only 30 min. Mike was nice enough to ask if there was anything else I could think of to look over while they were out. That tells me they really take the time and care about there customers. So thank you to the team at A&M read more

I called ,e-mailed this business Christie and Mike for ten Days straight and they are the most rude,unreliable people I ve seen in a life time. I took off a full tour from work to wait for an appointment after 10 days of drama and drama and stories upon stories just for this company to come and check out my car.This guy is a complete flake and calls to say again that he cant make it he is so busy after he made an appointment guranteed..and I am out $300 lost wages for taking the day off. Do not use this business under ANY CONDITIONS unless you have the patience for nonstop bs,put the answering machine on,no e-mails answered ,no,calls returned unless you call them over and over and over.Customer service TEN STARS BELOW ZERO and VERY RUDE WHEN YOU TELL THEM THE TRUTH.THEIR CUSTOMERS SERVICE IS HORRID AND THEY SHOULDNT BE IN BUSINESS. Spoke with a friend who said she had the same exact experience with them being totally UNRELIABLE and FUlL of DRAMA stories for calls not getting returned,e-mails not answered and appointments not kept. If big winded stories is your bag then call and use them. I highly suggest to look elsewhere and dont loose $300 in a days pay because they are full of balony. read more

I didn't want to Yelp Mike, because I want to keep him all to myself. Good, honest mechanics are hard to find. So, I'll keep this short: nice dude, puts you at ease, great mechanic. Now, go to sum rip-off schmuck, and let me keep Mike. :] read more

I just couldn't see taking my car to my old place anymore. No matter how many times I told them what the problem was they always charged us for diagnostic ($75) just to tell them what we already knew. So, Mike was referred to us by a neighbor about three years ago and we've been taking our vehicles there ever since. He's honest and very trustworthy. We never need to go back for the same problem twice. Recently, my husband's car wouldn't start for him so we called up Mike. He was going to make repairs on site however, the part was going to come later in the day. He came over to our place, picked up the car and took it back to his shop. We got a call back to confirm it was what I had previously suggested and now our vehicle is up and running even better before. There was an incident when a mechanic caused damage to one of our vehicles. Mike had all the damage repaired and reduced the cost of our bill drastically to compensate for the damage. I cannot be happier with the workmanship and integrity of this shop. I'm very pleased with the excellent service we continually receive. Thanks Mike and A & M Staff. read more

I had an emergency and Mike took me in, resolved the problems and did it all with honesty, integrity and friendliness. I highly recommend A&M for automotive needs. read more

I drove from Mira Mesa to A&M Mobile Mechanic on the suggestion from my fiancee. Mike...the mechanic was extremely nice, and in fact, so was everyone else who works there. Everyone said either "Hi" or "Good Morning" to me. He helped me understand my car. I'm waiting for a call from him to give me an estimate on what needs to be done to my car. I'll update once he does the work on my car. So far, so good. 5 stars all the way around. read more

Best Mechanic in San Diego County. Has worked on my Expedition, Ram and my moms PT Cruiser and every time does not let us down and also cares about his customers. Does good work, goes above and beyond. Always get me right in and though I tend to leave my car there a while they would get it done quickly as they could even if I didn't. They are very good to me with my troubles of getting my car over there too! Update: 9/13/17 still the best!!!! Thanks for taking care of my mom, highly recommend Mike the Mechanic :) read more

Based on reviews from Yelp, I took my car to A&M. I'm surprised I had not checked this place out previously since it is only a couple of miles from my home and I like to keep things local if I can. Anyway, I stopped by yesterday to inquire about a tune up for my car. I met Mike and he took a look at my car, went to check if he had the necessary parts on hand and I made an appointment for this morning. I arrived to drop my car off and expected to walk home and return later. He said he could have the job done quickly if I wanted to wait. About 45 minutes later, the job was done! And for what I thought was a very reasonable price! I will definitely be going back to A&M with my other vehicles. read more

By far the best service. Dropped off my 2008 Saturn vue with a exhaust leak around 9am and picked it up at 4pm completely fixed for a CRAZY amazing price. Above quality work cleanest and organized shop I have every seen. These guys a truly amazing don't think twice about a mechanic just come here guarantee you will be happy. I got yelp on my phone only to post a review for this place thank you guys read more

OUTSTANDING Mechanic and service!!! Mike (the owner) is one of the nicest people on the planet! I found A&M on Yelp when my car had died out front of my home. When I called, I actually got the opportunity to speak with the Owner who went above and beyond to help me get my car to his shop and get me back on the road faster than any mechanic I've ever done business with. His prices are ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!!! His staff is professional, so sweet and treat you like "one of the family". We refer everyone we know to him and everyone is extremely happy with his service, treatment of his customers and his skill!! Outstanding business, owner and skill!! read more

I know my way around cars pretty well. I needed a steering rack for my Pontiac Grand Prix. I got the old one out but needed help putting the new one in. I called Mike and him and David came out and finished the job. It works perfect and it was done at a reasonable price. Thanks guys! read more
