Had a very bad experience with this mobile mechanic called Always Mobile Mechanics (contact: Monte Berlin, 206-769-1337) out of Monroe, WA. Here's what happened on March 18, 2026: Quoted prices as "tax included" in writing, then later claimed taxes were never included when I declined an upsell -- I have the screenshot proving his exact words Did not complete rear brake job despite charging for it as part of a package deal -- kept the parts and never installed them Left my air filter box broken and loose after removing it, making the car unsafe to drive (documented on home security camera) Used fake terminology ("coal fiber retract") and AI-generated sales scripts to push a $1,445 engine cleaning upsell -- a second mechanic confirmed no emergency condition existed Refused to refund ~$425 overpayment, became verbally abusive via text, then blocked me to avoid resolution [[HIGHLIGHT]]Posted a false discrimination claim on Thumbtack when I left an honest review[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Total paid: $2,400 cash. Fair value of completed work: ~$1,975. Owed back: ~$425. Filing with WA Attorney General, BBB, and small claims court. Stay away from this guy. read more

Monty is about as sorry an excuse for a mechanic as you can find. Failure to live up to his word, failure to communicate, indifference towards customers, a lack of personal integrity, and a lack of professional standards. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He's too emotional to be in business for himself, we as a community have an obligation to help him into retirement by taking our business elsewhere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Piece of shit mechanic scammer not a man of his word !!!! If I could give you a 0 I would ,he sold me a tuner that was locked and now lost 500 read more

Literally beat me up because I slapped his van as nearly backed over me. Also gave him a $340 deposit on a job he never finished. read more

I had a coolant leak. They were able to come the same day were able to determine the issue right away. They ordered parts and fixed the issue by the next day. [[HIGHLIGHT]]So much easier than getting it towed to a shop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

These guys are awesome, my car stalled on the freeway and I had no way to move it, so I called always mobile and they were there super fast, and determined that my one of my pullys for the engine was broken and my belt had snapped. They went and got new part's and had me going in no time, out of the few places I had called they were the best price and the work was excellent, I highly recommend them to anyone who is having car trouble. Thanks again guys. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Just wanted to give a BIG thank you to Monty. Unfortunately, I was out of his servicing area, but he still took the time to fully walk me thru and problem solve an issue I was facing with my vehicle.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Back and running great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]My family members had used him in the past with great things to say about him and I can confirm that the guy goes above and beyond![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thanks again! -Jay read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]From the start Monty and his team went above and beyond my expectations.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was told by someone else that the starter was the problem but it wasn't. It turned out to be quite a few issues so he worked from 4 to 7 in the freezing weather on a Friday. He told me he would be back Saturday but called and had to work late and wouldn't make it out. So he came out Sunday in the freezing weather again to finish the job. For what he had to do the price was very reasonable. Thanks Monty for a great job. You're my mechanic from now on! read more

I have used Monte and his team three times now. He has gone above and beyond to make sure our vehicles are safe to drive every single time! He is honest and efficient. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love that he keeps me updated every step of the way![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He's my go to from now on! read more

Outrageous charges and long time to repair. After three attempts to fix my car now there is an issue with warranty when it's less than one year on the part that was fixed and [[HIGHLIGHT]]also hard to contact for getting the rework done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly doubt my issue will be fixed and do not recommend this business. Stay away. read more

Always Mobile Mechanics - Auto Repair Near Me

I tried Giving a 5 star review so hopefully more people will read and heed my warning to avoid this guy like the plague but he flagged it for removal. Read all of the 1 star reviews, they are the most honest truth you can find on yelp, the LUCKY ones were when he DIDNT DHOW UP. I'm out $500 and ALL he did was replace a battery cable. I won't bore you with his scam and dance which was tiring but bottom line l, he swore he diagnosed the problem, encouraged me to buy the part, "offered" a deal of $100 to put it in (5 min job, thx YouTube). He was wrong, not the problem after collecting his diagnosis, [[HIGHLIGHT]]said would come back to diagnose again but then somehow every day he couldn't come because of weather or cancer or some other excuse.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Stay away for the sake of your car and wallet. ( [[HIGHLIGHT]]Honestly waited to make a review because he seems like the kind to retaliate and he knows where I live[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]) read more

My 2004 Escalade was shaking while idling. Monte and Andrew came and had it fixed within an hour and a half! They got to me fast, finished the job fast and I haven't had a problem with it since! I recommended them a couple times already! read more

Monty and Andrew are the guys to call if you need auto repair. They came to the parking lot where we broke down and diagnosed the problem quickly. They came out the next day to do the repair which was done quickly and professionally. Unfortunately, it did not completely fix our issue. They continued trouble shooting the issue and narrowed it down to the ECU. I was able to do that repair, so they pointed me to a quality website from which to order the part. The new ECU arrived today and I quickly got it installed. The van fired right up and ran smoothly with any engine codes. These guys really went above and beyond to make sure the problem was Identified and resolved. They even followed up with me to make sure the new ECU solved the issue. I couldn't be happier with the service I received. read more

Stay away from this guy unless you want to pay for a job that never gets completed. We were on a long RV road trip from CA. The air conditioner condenser went out in my truck leaving me without air. I called them and he quoted me $1800 to fix it. When researching the price, I knew this was excessive, but I was in bind and knew I did not have the time to take it to a reputable mechanic before I had to head back home. He showed up to my camp site in the dark and put in the new condenser finishing around 10 p.m. He told me that he did not have the right tools to put in the freon so would come back in the morning. He said I also needed a new pulley for one of my belts. He said that he would come over the next day to complete it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When I contacted him the next day, he said that the pulley wouldn't be available until 7 p.m. He said he would come the next day and put the pulley and freon in. I agreed, but reminded him that I was leaving the following day to head back to CA[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]On the day he was supposed to come I sent him a text to see what time he would be coming. I heard nothing[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] back from him. I sat around all day waiting. I called him and left a message, nothing. At this point I knew this guy had ghosted me and I searched all around Marysville to try to find a trustworthy reputable mechanic that could help. I want to thank Vince at Tall Guy Small Guy Automotive in Marysville. I arrived at their shop at closing on a Friday. He took me in and fixed my problem. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I finally heard back from Monte after I had already left for home. He said he had worked so much and so hard lately that he slept for 24 hours[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Well apparently he wasn't working too hard, because he didn't finish the job that I paid him to do. I have learned a valuable lesson. Do yourself a favor and read the 1 star reviews. These reviews sum up this guy! read more

Monte did a great job repairing my Kia that had been broken into. He gave me an upfront quote and timeline of when the repairs would be completed. I chose his service largely because he was mobile and my car was not drivable so that saved the complication of having to tow it. He was also able to complete the repairs while I was out of town and sooner than he estimated. He got my car back to working order, where the previous mechanic I had taken it to and other shops that Yelp sent my requests to could not. When my Kia was broken into again, just a few days after it was fixed, he came out again to take a look at it and gave some good advice about adding some additional security measures. 10/10, would recommend read more

This company was responsive, communicative, and timely! Both Monte and Andrew were friendly and answered all my questions.... I plan to use them again when my car needs servicing! I love the convenience of mobile mechanic ~. I contacted three other companies and one did not service my area of north Lynnwood and the two others didn't respond at all! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Responsive team, straight forward service and appears to know their stuff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Called for a potential repair and was able to come out the day of. Provides service to other organizations so a trusted service provider. Was booked for the entire week so heads up on looking for urgent repairs. Charges a flat rate. Pricing was reasonable. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Andrew the mechanic for the second time! He came to my home and fixed my son's Ford hybrid exhaust system we were so pleased It was fast and affordable. These guys are definitely our new family mechanics Thanks guys read more

Very kind, walked me through the entire process despite my dumb questions. Was very helpful and knew EVERYTHING about my truck. 10/10 would recommend read more

Great customer service, reasonable pricing and quick! If you're looking for a mobile mechanic this is the place to call!

My truck is what makes me money. Got me back on the road in a super time sensitive situation for a great price and helped me understand everything I needed to do to maintain her. Honest to god mechanics are hard to find. read more

I can't believe how crazy this owner is, literally nuts. I attached the "colorful" texts he sent to our company number ranting about my original review... Let this be a WARNING - WE NEVER RECEIVED SERVICE AFTER 3 NO SHOW APPOINTMENTS. THIS IS HOW HE REACTS TO OUR NEGATIVE REVIEW. Even though we didn't waste a dime on his service, we still paid our employee 3 hours (collectively) to wait around for this guy. Just to end up using a real mobile mechanic we called and had the brakes done in 3 hours at our office. #RestrainingOrderSoon read more

Excellent service! They were able to offer me same day service at a great price. The mechanic, Anthony really knew his stuff and had a lot of helpful suggestions. I couldn't be more pleased. read more

They did it again. While out to repair my wiper linkage last weekend, Monte pointed out that my battery was leaking-- something that developed very recently, as it hadn't been evident when the vehicle was in for service a month ago. I made a mental note to replace it the following weekend, but after the commute home on Monday, the charging-sytem warning light flashed on, so I replaced the battery the next morning. However, the warning light remained lit, and a voltage-check at the battery dealer revealed that the alternator wasn't putting out enough voltage to maintain a charge. Always Mobile came out the same afternoon, replaced the alternator in less than half an hour, and reported that voltage readings were within the normal range. Hats off again! read more

I called Always Mobile Mechanics after my car would not start. The mechanic, Monte, returned my call and made arrangements to be at my house in the morning. He was delayed by traffic and very rainy weather, however, he came and found out in just 5 minutes what was wrong with my car. The starter had gone out on the car and he had an estimate very quick. He worked on my car in the rain and made every effort to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Monte was able to work with me on payment arrangements, which were reasonable and remarkable since he did not know me. Monte made sure my car was able to start and that I could be on the road to get to work and to be able to take care of my husband. Monte is friendly, professional, and respectable in his interactions with me and my husband. I would recommend Always Mobile Mechanics to anyone I know who needs work done quickly and when they are unable to move the car. I recommend Monte as I know he will get the job done well and right. read more

My '07 Range Rover started overheating on the way home. I called Monte, he came by the next morning and showed me exactly where my problem was. I had everything fixed within a few days, he showed me the broken parts, sent me video of his work, and gave me a REALLY reasonable price. I am back on the road and I am really happy with the whole experience. I highly recommend them to anyone. Save the towing fees and have them come to your house and get your car fixed! read more

Excellent service. Quick response time. Great communication. Came out and instantly figured out what was wrong with my brakes. He fixed it right there on the spot. I'm very pleased with the service and would definitely recommend. read more

Came out to fix my bike in lakewood. Figured it out in 5 minutes, fixed it in another 10. Well worth the price, CALL THEM FIRST BEFORE ANY OTHERS, I PROMISE YOU, you will not regret it read more

I've put 6-8k of work in on my work truck thru Monte and I can attest that he is 100% Fraud. He has no valid business license. We got into a discrepancy over money. I got an insurance settlement for $8,600 for a hit-and-run, and even though I already paid him a couple hundred dollars for the diagnosis, he still wanted 10 PERCENT of that settlement, saying that was 'our agreement'. This was back in February. So here's the strange thing. This guy replaced my whole clutch on my Chevy stepvan, and what do you know, a few days after our discrepancy, my whole transmission started shaking. I looked underneath, and it was held in by 1 BOLT. Think about this for a minute. That means he either only torqued one transmission bolt down correctly, or he came and backed the others out after he got pissed at me. Yeah, I'm not going to let someone like this keep screwing over good people. So here's our entire text convo leading up to me blocking his number.

I called them out because I had paperwork that said I needed a water pump and detention bar when they came out they told me I didn't need a water pump for a tension bar I needed an alternator. Charge me $500 for 20 minutes of putting the alternator on I'm currently speaking to an attorney how about them so I would never use them again. If I were you call anybody else except them read more

STAY AWAY FROM ROADSIDE RESCUE REPAIR/MONTE BERLIN/JASON SMITH SAVE YOURSELF A LOT OF MONEY AND GRIEF! It took Monte from Feb 3rd to Feb 20 for me to fire him. Three weeks of my car being broken. I paid him cash of $100 deposit, then another $327 cash for a brand new fuse box and another $60 cash for a new battery; for a total of $487 cash. He never completed the job. The original job was that all my interior lights were off and my brake lights and signal lights were off, not working. The windows and doors didn't work. He told me this was going to be a very expensive job, like 10 hours worth, so I traded him a 2002 GMC cargo van in good running condition. It did have a lot of body damage but the van always ran great for me. Plus I gave him $487 cash. I had to continually call him for ETA's of when he was going to come back and complete the job. Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow. He said that he ordered the fuse box from Orielly's, just 2 blocks from my home. Because of the snow there were no deliveries. So I called Orielly's to see the update of when the part was coming in and they told me they had no such order and that part is a dealer part only or a junk yard part. I requested from Monte a receipt for the battery and the fuse box and he through a hissy fit and said Mechanic shops only give receipts of the work and parts they install and warranty their work for a year. I told him I wanted all my money back and no van. Again he through a fit and threatened to call the police. I told him to go ahead and call the police. So instead of texting him I called him and asked him to just come back and put my car back together and finish the job. Monte confessed that he got the fuse box from triple AAA junk yard in Kent, he paid $40 for it and I think that is where he got the battery too. He sent me a photo of the receipt for the box and battery. All the doors were ripped off, the dash was completely torn off and in disarray, and the rear end inside of my trunk was completely torn apart. He wanted to charge me to have him put all the door panels and dash back together. I refused and said I wasn't going to give him the van title. So he very sloppily put the doors back on, barely and the dash missing many screws and the rear truck panel was just hanging there. When I drove the car the brake lights were not working, they were stuck on and would not go off. I had no signal lights, no interior lights, radio not working, none of the doors or windows worked. I gave up on trying to get Monte to finish this job so I took my car to another reliable mechanic shop in Everett and he stated that it looked like someone went in there and cut all the wires in the rear end of the car and all the wires were cut under the dash and the door wires all cut. Monte was trying to drum up more work for him, I didn't bite. The new mechanic wrote me a letter of the condition he received the car in and I am taking this horrible business Roadside Rescue Repair to small claims court. This company is so dishonest they don't even advertise their address. All I am trying to do is get a refund of the $487, cash that I gave him for a job not done and sabotaged. He says I am trying to blackmail him, not true, just want a refund. One more scary note, the last text me asked me if I met his black friend and how is my home security. What kind of person does this and stay in business. read more

We had an emergency situation where my truck wouldn't stop starting. My starter was acting like it was Maximum Overdrive. He came out today first thing and was able to put in a new starter and get us going for half of what it would have taken to get the truck towed to the shop and repaired. Very friendly and straight forward. Would highly recommend. read more

So I have a 2001 Ford Taurus and I had some problems from the start so I went to this mechanic the first time and he told me the wrong issues with the car and that ended up messing my car up he had my water gasket hanging that made my car have no heat to overheat and I told him about my issues with the car he told me that I needed a new blower motor and days later my car battery was dead ,And I didn't know what happened so I wanted a second opinion so I found another mobile mechanic and to find out he's amazing, he replaced my water gasket and new clamps and fixed other items that were wrong with my car and thanks to him I have working heat now. And my car is riding better now. And he's officially my mechanic. I would recommend him to anyone. Prices are affordable. Mobile mechanic that comes to you. Great service!! read more

Always Mobile Mechanics - Auto Repair Near Me

I was in a crisis as I was on my way to see my family in Wisconsin from Washington when my Jeep decided to break down. Always Mobile answered my phone call late in the evening and came to my rescue first thing in the morning as I was in desperate need. Monte went above and beyond to get me on the road. I will make sure to call him anytime. I highly recommend him any time. He is extremely reliable. You will not be unhappy. He was fantastic. read more

He called me back about 20 minutes after i called him no big deal. He said it was $150 flat fee which was completely fine but when he came out he was completely rude but i let it go because he was helping me when i was just completely stumped on my cars problem took about half hour to figure it out which was great. Then he charged me an extra $50 for unplugging a plug and flipping it around. Would have been fine if he wasn't criticizing me and where my car was parked. And saying my garage was messy when my car was just parked unevenly in there read more

We tried to set up having them come to take over an incomplete DIY job on my car. Yesterday they were suppose to be here at 1pm, called and said a job was running long and moved ti to today. Hubbie shifted his work schedule both days to work with them. Today a complete no show and no response to messages. Right now I'm so disgusted and ticked off I can barely see straight. PS So the mechanic texted around 5ish saying he had lost his phone for the day. We're not trying with him again - use the info as you will. read more
