Called this place late Friday afternoon to get some brakes and rotors fixed. Left message and got a call back within minutes. He arrived with the parts on Saturday morning at 8:30! He was done in an hour. Nice guy. Reasonable rates. He charged for the parts at cost so we only paid for his labor. We will be back again!! read more

I was doing a routine tire rotation at home when a snapped wheel stud left me dead in the water. I reached out and George picked up the phone. Virtually and through face-time, he walked me through removing the caliper, taking off the rotor, threading the replacement studs, repairing a brake piston that came out of its socket, and bleeding brake lines that were causing a spongy brake pedal. He's an absolute legend and an encouraging soul. Recommend. Recommend. Recommend. Pick up the phone and make the call. You won't be disappointed. read more

George helped me troubleshoot a spark plug issue over the phone (on my jet ski nonetheless). His mechanical experience was vital in coming up with a creative solution. Didn't even charge a penny - what a guy! read more

I called George after dealing with 2 other shops. He came to my house, identified the misfire in my number 4 cylinder, took me to the parts stores to hand pick the parts and even taught me how to replace the components myself. Fair price and learned something today, thanks George! read more

George was fantastic, he was honest and professional. I highly recommend working with him with him on your future car projects.

We contacted George and on short notice he showed up for a spark plug that we needed help installing due to its location and difficult access. His experience, knowledge and expertise was the reason we contacted him from his many 5 star reviews. He did not disappoint. Pay the man what he wants! We are satisfied customers. read more

George was great! I needed a battery installed in my SUV after the previous battery had corroded some of the connections. He was able to come out to me, and get the car running for a reasonable price. I live out in the country, so I was told no several times due to the distance, but George helped me out! Will likely be using his services again, and I would recommend! read more

My old van had been sitting for six months or more and had not been started or moved during that time. The thing wouldn't even start anymore. There were a lot of troubles in it, but George diagnosed the main problems and recommended a plan for going forward to get the thing running. He did an excellent job of figuring out what was needed and solved my problems quickly and at a reasonable price. It runs great now. I will be recommending him to all of my friends. read more

Thank you so much George! I found him here on Yelp, and gave him a shot with all the great reviews. He responded immediately and was able to come out to Valley Center same day. He replaced the rear rotors and brake pads in under a couple of hours. Thank you George! read more

Great service, honest, intelligent, articulate and easy to talk to, lots of useful advice and recommendations, showed up on time and prepared. Will recommend to others. read more

George is a very knowledgeable mechanic!!! There has not been one automotive issue I've brought to him that he can't fix!!! Plus, he's just a good guy! I highly recommend!!! read more

The radiator overflow on my car popped off. Wasn't leaking from the radiator, but it wouldn't start. George was there helping someone else as well, and he didn't even take a look before he fixed it... "Roll it down the hill so it's flat." Sure enough it fired up. He said keep a close eye on the temperature, and if it doesn't say it's getting hotter or cooler, might need a thermostat. I'll be giving him a call for sure if it is. read more

George is friendly and efficient. He got my car that had been sitting for 2 years running and driving in a timely manner and didn't break the bank. Highly recommended read more

I live in LA but was interested in a car in Escondido, so I called George to check it out before I made the drive down there. Fortunately he was able to go and evaluate it that same day. He called me with the results, sent a bunch of photos, and and answered all my questions. He's upfront, honest, responsive, and detailed. All of these qualities made me more confident in making a decision on whether to purchase the car or not. Mechanics can definitely be shady but George is on top of it and I'd recommend him without reservation. Thanks George! read more

I talked to George and loved the responsiveness and thoroughness of his assessment on my van. I highly recommended working with these folks if you can. read more

AMAZING! Affordable--yes, clean, pleasant...yes, yes. I know more than most and George is a great mechanic. He came in, cleaned all the contacts to the battery and replaced the alternator at a great price. Wow! We have a new mechanic. OOPS! on Sunday--what? read more

I called Mr.George at 8 this morning with a bad alternator . By 11:30 my car was up and running as smooth as it was when I first got it . I'm soo pleased with the service . He is straight to business and it was absolutely amazing to not come out of pocket as much as I thought I was either . Definitely someone I'd refer anyone with car troubles to . read more

George is honest and knowledgeable. He replaced my starter for a fair price. Afterward, my neighbor asked if George would look at his car that would crank, but not start. He diagnosed a faulty crankshaft sensor and replaced it. read more

My wife and I live in Pasadena but were looking to purchase a used vehicle from a dealership in Escondido. We contacted George yesterday to ask him if he'd be able to go to the dealership in question and check out the vehicle while we drove down, but he said no...which was fantastic! He asked what make & model it was, and when I told him we were looking to buy a 2010 Honda Insight he explained that he'd be happy to take a look at the mechanical components but was up front about the fact that he wasn't familiar with hybrid batteries, and I appreciated the honesty. He also said he'd prefer if I called him once my wife and I were actually down in Escondido and had a chance to look at the car and test drive it, as he didn't want to have to charge us the $150 inspection fee unless we were actually serious about moving forward with the purchase. Again, I really appreciated his transparency and integrity. I was a little worried we'd have to wait longer than we wanted to for him to get to the dealership following the test drive, so I called him again as we were heading back, and he was so prompt that we had only returned five minutes prior to his arrival. His inspection was thorough, and he made sure to explain what he was looking for every step of the way, taking care to point out even the slightest cosmetic defects, just so that I had a complete picture of the vehicle prior to purchase, but ultimately he signed off on the car and really provided peace of mind to my wife and me, allowing us to move forward confidently with the purchase. Would definitely recommend George to anyone in the Escondido area! read more

My truck had a problem that 2 auto shops were not able to correctly diagnose in able to fix it. George came out to Ramona the next day. He was stumped as no codes showed what was wrong and then he started checking things that didn't throw codes to eliminate things. He stuck with it and found the problem, fixed it and charged a very reasonable price. I highly recommend George and Affordable Mobile Auto Repair read more

I went with this business because of the good reviews, and feel I need to post this here since my experience was not great and I want other Yelpers to know. I was buying a used car at a (supposedly) reputable Volvo dealership, and am stuck out of town due to family issues, so I needed someone to go out to take a look at it for me in my absence. George replied promptly and went right out to check out the car. He texted me a picture of him running the computer diagnostic test, then called to explain what a code meant. I had a follow up question about the code, and he answered that, too. He said he spent a lot of time with the car, and told me it was in great shape and would be a good buy. He kept repeating "this is a great car". So I went for it. On my first day driving the car, I noticed a slightly unusual noise that seemed related to the wheels, along with a clicking sound that may or may not have been related. Because I am very meticulous when it comes to car maintenance, and safety in particular, I took the car in to my family member's mechanic right away. This mechanic (who is trusted by me and my family), charged me $200 and took a good look at the car, before breaking the news: the transfer case had failed, and that there was NO power going to my back wheels. He told me that I would need to replace it and that it wouldn't be safe to drive on the freeway as-is. Total cost? Between $3500-5000. I also took the car to two other mechanics to get opinions before committing to this enormous repair, for a total of nearly $600 to diagnose this issue that George overlooked. This is unacceptable, both on the part of the dealer and on the part of this mechanic, who was supposed to do a thorough overview of the car and give me an honest opinion about its mechanical condition. I paid this guy $150 for that, and got a car that needed $3500+ in repairs. I am not a mechanic -- if I could notice an odd noise within minutes of driving the car, why couldn't the trained professional do the same? ALSO, the tires were worn out/cupped in an erratic way that is VERY noticeable, and my mechanic was stunned that George didn't pick that up when inspecting the vehicle. These are basic issues, but I'm now out almost $5,000 on the first week with the car thanks to this oversight. Plus the $150 I paid to George, and the cost of getting the car looked at by 3 mechanics in order to determine what was wrong. It has been a bit of a nightmare. George seemed nice when we spoke, but I would not recommend or trust his opinion when it comes to pre-purchase used car inspections. Be wary. *Note: I had one more follow-up question after the first one, and he never replied to that, leaving me to feel like he didn't quite care about my business since it was unlikely I'd use him again. I didn't think to write a review based on that, but after my overall experience, felt I needed to share this information, too. read more

We have been using George's services for over 20 years now, we have a small fleet of construction trucks big and small, when ever we need George he is on site fixing our vehicles, same day service, never had a problem he is a straight shooter and does quality work with good parts, never had a problem, he is much better than west auto or to say anyone else in Escondido we used, Call George. read more

I would highly recommend!! My car won't start we tried jumping it and took the battery to be checked (battery was good ) called and he was here in an hour. I had looked up my Jeep online and found all kinds ok expensive things it could be but he fixed it in an hour for a great price ! read more

George met me within 15 minutes when I was stranded in a parking lot with my car that wouldn't start. He's a pro with all the necessary equipment to do the job. He charged me less than 2 other auto shops I got a quote from (and I would have had to tow my car to them!). His parts store drove the new starter to him while he removed the old one from my car. He diagnosed and replaced my starter altogether in about 2 hours. This was quick, easy and convenient. I'm pleased. read more

George did a great job diagnosing some problems with my truck today. He came with his truck fully loaded with everything necessary to do the job. When I called, he said he could come take a look at my truck right away, and he was there within an hour. He was very knowledgeable and you could tell he has lots of mechanical and customer service experience. I was very happy with the experience overall, and he gave me a great price. He even let me hang out and showed me a few things that I did not know about my truck. read more

I parked my truck behind my house like usual, then the next day it would not start. New battery, new fuses, etc... still nothing. I called George around 7pm a few days later, he gave me a very reasonable price to come look at it while I was at work. I left cash for him on my seat with the keys. He agreed to come at 9am, and by 10am I received a phone call letting me know my truck was running. This was fast, honest, and reliable service. Highly recommend!!! read more

George is the most honest car repair guy I have ever met in my 52.5 years of existence. I cannot stress enough how knowledgeable and honest he is. I have a 2016 Ford that has had issues since I bought it used last July 2021. The first repair I called him out for (which was brought to my attention by a check engine light) had ended up being a minor sparkplug issue that need to be replaced and he fixed it on the spot for a super reasonable fee with a factory Ford part. Today, 8 months later, I called him again with another issue regarding an error code with a random engine misfire and my transmission acting up, and after assessing what was going on and discussing the car problem with me in-depth, he was so honest that he told me that he thought I should take it back to the Ford dealer because it might be related to a particular recall issue or possibly a computer glitch. Until I met George I had never in my entire life met a car repair guy that would forgo quick cash for the sake of making sure the customer was taken care of first. He is a car "angel". Thank you, George! You are amazing! read more

George came to my house on a Sunday morning! I called around 8am and left a message. He promptly called back and set up a time, which was an 1.5 hours later, then showed up to my house. He replaced my starter in no time and had me back on the road. George is the man! Definitely recommend giving him a call if you need some work done. read more

This morning I called early and decided to have my car where done gentleman answered the phone with a sincere voice he came over to check out and assess the situation they told me it was better if we towed back to the shop which I agreed we're he's going to take very good care of my vehicle and return it to me shortly the fact that you can do this all on the same day as me, is pretty press it thank you for assisting me in a tight situation I really do appreciate it and I will pass on your information to anybody I know that needs a vehicle work done thank you very much I look forward to seeing you soon to have more and more done to my vehicle as I love it and plan on keeping it for a long time and is working on my 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse The work being done would be a timing belt all three rubber belt and radiator hoses outstanding thank you very much read more

George did a great job! Highly recommend. Quoted me just a few extra $$ than the shop to replace the battery on my SUV, except he had the battery and the shop said it would be 1.5 hour turnaround since they don't carry it. George arrived on time, just 1.5 hours after my call and charged me less than his quote. I had a new battery installed in less than 15 minutes - at the convenience of my home! Super nice guy too. Plus his quote was considerably less than another mobile competitor for the same job, and they couldn't come out nearly as quickly. Top notch. Highly recommend. read more

George was great. He had all the parts needed to get us back on the road. He had some advice on additional work needed as well, but felt no pressure to "do it now" like you get from some mechanics. He showed me what he was doing, explained why he was doing it, and tried teaching me how to provide maintenance myself to extend the life of my boat trailer. I should add -- George was caught up in some terrible traffic on his way out to to service my trailer (there was a fire on the 78 that had traffic STOPPED going both ways. I think most people would have thrown up their hands there and called and cancelled and arrange for a different day. NOT GEORGE - he called me to let me know the situation, and waited in traffic for a few hours so he could make good on his commitment today. I really appreciated that since my trailer was parked in a not very good location (needed to be moved ASAP). Thanks George, you're a pro! read more

I was vacationing at Lawrence Welk Resort in Escondido when my red battery indicator appeared on my 2007 Odyssey. It was Sunday morning Father's Day. I assumed it was the alternator since I replaced the battery about 1 year ago and called Affordable Mobile Auto Repair. George actually called back on Father's day and told me he agreed it sounded like the alternator. I asked him what it cost and he said he would check into it in the morning. He called with the estimation which was 1/2 the price I anticipated. I highly recommend George and his company; he is honest (charged what he estimated), professional, a great conversationalist. Believe it or not I truly enjoyed the experience. Thanks George! Armando read more

He stopped by the dealership for a specific dealer part I needed and headed to my house to fix my vehicle. He was there in no time with the parts needed and was able to fix my car at my house and couldn't beat the price! I'll definitely use George again and refer to others. read more
