First, I just want to say THANK YOU, Lamar! I was under the impression I had a major transmission issue after using the Fix Finder service at Auto Zone. My transmisson was beginning to jump and slip A LOT. My regular mobile mechanic, whom I've really come to trust, does not fix transmission issues. A second mobile mechanic who had previously done some work on my vehicle ghosted me after I asked him if he could check on a power steering leak (that was found while getting an oil change) after I had paid him to fix the power steering hose. So, I was really dreading having to look for a new, trustworthy mechanic. Lamar was the first to respond to my Yelp inquiry. He was very responsive, patient, and professional throughout all of our communications. His price for the fix was also very reasonable. I have begun purchasing my own parts, and Lamar helped me to figure out exactly what I would need. My vehicle is old, so we both had difficulty locating the main part (shift solenoid). There was also a major delay in shipping. However, once I received the parts, Lamar made sure to fit me into his busy schedule as soon as he could. He showed up on time and gave my vehicle a good look over. We talked as he assessed the issues, and he expressed his genuine passion for what he does. When his assessment was over we found I had a damaged transmission pan and I was low on both transmission and power steering fluid. All I needed was a fill up (which honestly was kind of embarrasing)! Lamar could have taken advantage of the situation and did an uneccesary fix to get the money. Instead, he quickly fixed the actual issue for free, even after having to take a quick trip to get more transmission fluid. I had purchased some, but we needed a little more. Although he didn't request it, I made sure to Zelle him a payment in appreciation for his time and help. Overall, he was very thorough and 1) fixed my vehicle with kindness, 2) respectfully provided me with some education on how to check my transmission fluid in the future, and 3) helped prevent major damage to my transmission. As a woman who is still learning how to fully maintain my vehicle, I really appreciate Lamar's respectful honesty. I highly recommend him :) Thank you, again, Lamar, and may you continue to be blessed. read more

Lamar is very knowledgeable about cars. Yes, he is a mechanic, but just looking at my wife's car, he called out some key cautionary notes on what to look for in the future. He was there for my 2019 VW Passat, which needed a new front wheel bearing. Despite initially agreeing that I would come to him, he was willing to go to me at the agreed-upon rate. He performed the repair without issue and in the allotted time. I appreciate his professionalism, excellent communication, and ability to work with his customers based on their individual needs. read more

I recently had an issue with my Lincoln Navigator, and I contacted Lamar, By Any Means Mechanic, and I couldn't be happier with the service. He is professional, polite, honest, and clearly knows their stuff. He knew what needed to be done and didn't try to upsell me on anything unnecessary. My SUV now runs better than ever, and the pricing was very fair. It's a relief to finally find a mechanic I can trust. I Highly recommend Lamar to anyone looking for reliable, top-notch automotive service! read more

I had a great experience with By Any Means Mechanics. Lamar was very responsive and gave me an excellent rate on replacing my brakes and rotors. Upon arrival, I quickly learned that I had given him the wrong axle. He inspected and found that it was actually the back that needed service. He wasn't going to do the front since it wasn't required, but I had him do it anyway. I felt like he was being trustworthy and explained everything to me. I would highly recommend and use his services again. read more

Was very pleased with the service Lamar provided on 3/21 and I subsequently asked him to replace my spark plugs. Seemed like a reasonable thing to do since the original plugs were from 2015 (10 years) and the car had 61,000 miles on it. Once again, after watching him work and have just the right tools, I'm glad I chose him to do the job. Well done, Lamar. Thanks. Bob read more

I commented with 5 stars on the professionalism, knowledge and overall service when Lamar diagnosed and replaced the starter on my Infiniti FX. The Yelp site showed only a 4 star rating so I would like to correct this. I will call them again and would recommend him to others. Thanks read more

Lamar was quick to reply, friendly and efficient. By far, the best quote I received. Replaced my engine mounts and my car drives so smooth now. He explained the wear on the old ones when I asked. Highly recommend. read more

Went back for more repairs, and again A+ work and knowledge, I have another appointment in two weeks if you need a mechanic that takes pride in his work, don't hesitate give him a call and get it on schedule read more
