Free Agent Maintenance Service

PREDATORY PRICING!!…read more Asked for a quote to do a spark plug insert. They called, and initially tried to sell a new or reman head, not recommending the FACTORY Ford fix. I personally did the repair on the cylinder necessary, but followed up with asking for a quote to fix the rest. Was quoted almost double the dealer fix, with stipulations that I provide the parts and sealants necessary. STAY AWAY!!! Half the phone call was telling me not to trust other people in the Clarksville area because they're incompetent. I think homie needs to look in the mirror if he thinks he can charge almost double without providing anything but labor. Got a quote from a different mobile mechanic in Clarksville (with good reviews) to do a preventative insert repair for the remaining 7 cylinders for less than the cost of one single cylinder from Free Agent. I rarely post a review, but felt it necessary to warn anyone considering this company. Would give zero stars if I could. Edit: to address this laughable attempt to save face, going to respond point by point. 1. dealerships absolutely guarantee their work. Part of the reason to consider the dealer instead of some idiot mobile mechanic. 2. Your pricing is predatory bc you spent almost 20 minutes on the phone call telling me not to trust anyone else. Someone scared of losing their only vehicle may fall for this trap, it's unethical and a terrible business tactic. 3. Yes you work in the elements like anyone else who CHOOSES to do so. You can't charge more for having to deal with weather. Let alone not bringing tools, parts, sealants, anything but your hands. I did the job outside in the weather perfectly fine, no one is giving me any accolades for doing so. 4. Mobile mechanics have always charged less, that's the draw to use you instead of dealers. 5. Suggesting / insisting on a new head may give more assurance that the repair is solid, but is not necessary without attempting an insert, as that is THE FACTORY FIX. If you are too incompetent to do the job, just admit that. 6. To call yourself the Ferrari of mobile mechanics with one yelp review (probably from a family member or friend) is the best joke I've heard all year.

Gray's Automotive

Found Mr. Tyler Gray through numerous recommendations on social media. Now I have dealt with other…read moremobile mechanics over many years - but at the end of the day - Mr. Tyler is still getting rave reviews. Came to my home after work to do a simple brake pad job - ended up replacing the brake pads, rotors, and axel - and the total cost of everything combined was cheaper then replacing the axel alone at a shop. Even before we decided to replace everything, he showed me the concerns he had with the axel when compared to his vehicle. He was very thorough in his explanations, and able to 'dumb it down' if necessary. Now he is self-taught, but from what I see - he's just as knowledgeable, if not more than someone who took a few years at a local automotive college. He isn't the type who will work outside his realm of knowledge or comfort for his ego or to pad his pockets. If he doesn't feel comfortable - he will walk away instead having a costly repair by dealing with a possible mistake. The fact he got here around 6:00PM and stayed until the job was done until right before 9:00PM with headlamp in tow - means I will definitely be using him again.

Buncha lowlife crooks, "89.99" must be the storage fee they charge for ruining your week then an additional tax of $475 and yea these goons take all week to "fix" (more like break it worser). So after they robbed me of a months rent and holding my ride hostage all the while lying about the price. Make it even worser the breaks din't even work. Thank the one above IDK how i made it down the road (manual shifting thas why) but I made it to a REAL mechanic owned his own shop near Madison and Golf club and only spent $75 total to redo their screwed up, ripoff work. Also poor customer service as you can read other reviews on here about sexual harassment, I would like to add racial bigotry and bullying.

I needed to get my girlfriends brakes done during the weekend while I was off work but it was raining. We don't have a garage so I decided I would just go get them done. After arriving here they took my car around back and looked it over. I told them I only needed front brake pads. He was going to charge me 350$ to swap the front brake pads! Then when I told him that was way overpriced he said he could not get the new hardware and take 100$ off. There is no hardware when you swap brake pads. You literally pull off your caliper put new pads on it and put it back on. 15 minute job. Then I told them no thanks and left. I had an employee of mine do it at his house. He told me they left my calipers loose. That's so dangerous. Not only are they crooks but they have no clue what they are doing! read more

Highly recommend this budget brakes. Very honest staff and nice to work with. Had an issue with a squeaky brake on my car. They heard the noise, but took a little deeper dive as pads and rotors were fine. Turns out there was a little leaf wedged in there. Leaf removed and no charge for inspection. Another time had thumping noise in our van. Upon inspection it was determined that a pin was missing from rear of muffler area to hold in place. Minor charge to correct the problem. read more
