Cuong responded to me quickly when the oil drain plug broke off in the oil pan of the LS3 engine in my 1977 Trans Am. He quickly rectified the issue for me for a reasonable price. He was easy to get a hold of and showed up on time as well. Super nice guy to work with too. read more

Very unprofessional. Leaves the job incomplete. Brakes other parts and refuses to finish the job he ignores calls/texts. I wouldn't recommend him at all. Save your time and money! Editing review as a response. You worked on my Nissan maxima in hollister ca I paid you half of the job i trusted you I thought you'd be honest you never answered calls or messages. Next time you should be honest and not leave me hanging now I have to pay someone else to fix your mistake, thanks a lot god bless you. read more

C&P Reliable Mobile Mechanic - Auto Repair Near Me

Can you say amazing? Because that's what I said when Cuong did what I though was the impossible for me. My truck was stuck in the impound yard and didn't have any wheels or battery (but I didn't know that at the time). The tow yard refused to let us onto the lot to put the tires and battery in the truck ourselves. I called many places, some other mechanics, and other towing companies and all of them were so mean and would just hang up on you (see previous reviews!) I found C&P here on yelp and I am so glad I did. Cuong was amazing and showed up like a champ. He not only put the tires on the truck like I asked but he was also able to put the battery in and drive her off the lot. It was an amazing sight to me especially after the truck being stolen. If you need a mechanic in the San Jose area, I HIGHLY recommend calling these guys. They will help you! Professional, knowledgeable, and all around awesome! read more

Cuong came within an hour of contacting him to replace my battery. Super friendly and quick. Will use again for sure!

He made quick work replacing the air blend actuator on my 2007 Honda Pilot so now I can again enjoy good air temperature while I drive.He has reasonable rates too.I highly recommend! read more

Very happy with the service provided. Got a pre-purchase inspection on a car being sold by a private seller. Extremely knowledgeable and provided great insight on the car that I was looking at. He turned the car on, took a look at the engine bay and immediately was able to determine what was wrong and what repairs/ maintenance would needed to be done. He gave me an estimate on how much money I'd expect to put into the car for repairs. Overall advised against buying the car unless the seller met me at a certain price. Highly recommend to others looking for mobile mechanic services. read more

Cuong responded immediately to my request and fix a disabled vehicle and came out to fix it the very next day. I am impressed with the speed and the knowledge he displayed. I will definitely call him again if I need a mobile mechanic read more

Fast service, took it for my driver window repair. He was able to get the part and complete the job in a couple hours, same day.

Best service and service done fast! Dropped my car off to get rotors replaced and brakes. Other shops gave me a longer finish time estimated, and this one was no where near the timing I was given compared to the other shops. Will definitely be back for my future car needs! read more

I had a very positive experience with this mobile Mechanic. My car would not start and had a blaring alarm that went on for two hours. I tried to jump start my car on my own but still wasn't able get the car started. I was unsure what the problem was and there were no appointments with my dealership for another month. I came across this Yelp page and liked the idea of not having to deal with towing to take my car in for a diagnostic service. I gave Cuong a call and he was able to come check out my car the next day. He confirmed it was a battery problem and that my accelerator was fine. He diagnosed that the alarm blaring was from a dead key remote battery and the car was likely confused. He jump started my battery with a heavy duty starter and the car was able to start within 10 minutes. The service was quick and efficient. I would use this business again for the next time my car needs services! read more

Very responsive, honest and does good work! Brought two of our vehicles and he's fixed them each, very price reasonable and accommodating! It is sooo hard finding a trust worthy mechanic and very happy to have found him! read more

Professional and knowledgeable! Very easy to communicate, he showed up early with his special truck full of tools and equipment.

Highly recommend read more

Reliable, patient and skilled! C&P comes through for us again! This time it's a starter on my dad's car that is going out. We had it towed to C&P in San Jose and he immediately checked it out and let me know that the starter was dying a slow death and would need to be replaced. Within an hour we had an estimation of completion of repair and can pick it up tomorrow!! No muss - no fuss! It says a lot when you can find a skilled mechanic who has the patience to deal with our situation but is also so darn responsive!! If you need car repairs and you want to deal with an honest person who does right by his customers, check out C&P. My dad trusts him. Oh - did I fail to mention that he responded to me during the holidays?! Because he did - quick text to let me know he got my message. :) read more

Cuong was great!! Really appreciated his prompt response, my time from texting him to having my car up and running was 2 hours tops (incredible)! He let me know the whole time what he was doing, how long it'd take him to get replacement parts etc. Highly recommend Cuong! read more

C&P Reliable Mobile Mechanic - Auto Repair Near Me

Cuong was very reliable in a time of need, and was responsive during a time when other traditional places were closed. He's courteous, knowledgable and overall a lifesaver in needing a battery jump, and went above and beyond to make others feel safe and went though things comprehensively. He takes Venmo as well, which was convenient. Thank you, this is the guy you want to have saved in your contacts. read more

I would recommend this place 100% and would come back for all mechanical stuff for all of my cars in the future. Thank you Mr. Cuong onc again read more

My truck wouldn't start and I had no idea what was wrong with it. He discovered the issue was a broken timing belt and fixed it in no time. He's the best! read more

This is a follow up to my earlier review to make sure everyone understands exactly what I went through from the beginning and because I just had the most unprofessional engaging conversation with Cuong. My earlier review was just about Cuong as a person but I want to make sure everyone also knows how unprofessional and unprepared at his own job he is. On the first day he committed to come by 7pm in the evening but when I texted him at 7:15pm he said he was just leaving and then after 30 minutes he calls and says there's too much traffic and will come to my home the next day. I was accommodating and said that's okay. The next day even before starting on my car he backs up his truck on the driveway and damages the gutter mentioned in my earlier review. He then tries to use a hammer to get it back into shape even though he has no qualifications to fix it. Cuong says his brother can fix it easily and I being the trusting fool that I am, trust him. He does a basic diagnostic on my car and says I need a new battery. When I asked if he can replace the battery he says he doesn't have one and he said he cannot wait until we get a replacement. Cuong, the mechanic who came to my home, backed his truck into my gutter, who gladly changed me for his "service" of diagnosis, could not be bothered to wait for a replacement battery. I trusted him and paid him for running a diagnostic. I then called a real professional mechanic company RepairSmith who did a great job with no hassle (for your mobile repair needs go with RepairSmith). After that I followed up with Cuong to ask what time his brother will come on the weekend to fix the gutter like he promised. He say his brother is busy and that I should get a quote. I contacted 12 different gutter companies and due to Covid, many companies are not taking partial gutter repair jobs. After spending 2 days contacting gutter repair companies I got through to 2 companies. The first company gave me a quote over the phone at $450 and the second gutter company sent someone out to provide a more accurate quote after checking out our damaged gutter. I received an email quote for $650. When I texted Cuong I even provided the lower quote at $450 and he said it's too much. I continued to text and call, but he ignored my attempts at communication until he read my original Yelp review. One time after he answered my phone call after identifying myself he hung on me. The day he hung up on me, I wrote the original Yelp review. After a few days dealing with a health issue I called him again today to reconcile and he keeps insisting he would fix it with his friend or brother or someone. At this point I don't trust him and so I just say pay me the amount of $450 and let's get this done with because I don't want to deal with him and he has amply proven he is untrustworthy. After raising his voice multiple times he tries to negotiate with me and says let me pay you 300 , let me pay you 400 and you delete the review. I finally yield and say okay because I don't want to have anything to do with him any more. But then he springs another thing where I have to sign a document stating I would delete the review. I don't trust this man with anything, why would I sign something when I have been going with his verbal commitments which he has gone back on multiple times. At this point he refuses to pay me yet again for damage he has done. He is negotiating with me as if he is doing business with me when he is actually compensating me for damage he has caused! I never negotiated with him when he came and did not fix the problem with my car but he now has the audacity to negotiate with me.He also insisted meeting in person which makes no sense at all. Bottomline- untrustworthy, unprofessional, rude, poor customer service, incompetent. read more

Woww... If I can give 10 stars I would! Cuong came to the rescue as my car starter was broken. I called him and he was able to come to my place to fix it late night. He is seriously reliable and gets the job done as promised. Came by 8pm and finished the job by 11pm. He had to go through 4 floors to get to my place and he was always professional while keeping me updated on the progress. I'm very grateful for his services and time. My car is now running as it should be. If you're looking for autobody mechanical and goes to your location, Cuong is your guy! Highly recommend him to anyone and friends! read more

This guy messed up my throttle body on purposes. He also messed up sensors and cut wires so I could not pass smog. It took a good mechanic to tell me what happened. Stay away from C&P Reliable. Unless you want to never get your car running again. read more

I really like the work of this mechanic (Cuong). Every time I bring my vehicle to him for service he always gives me the an affordable rate. He gives me no around like other shop that leaves you hanging and lots of promises. He's craftsmanship and work ethic is what makes him so great for the automotive repair industry. read more

I had issues with my car I called him and he told me that he'll be to come the following morning, I called him the morning of and he said that he'll be able to come after 11am. Then I text him at 11:05 to see if he still coming and he said that he'll be coming at 12 . Then I proceeded to call him at 12:05 then he says he busy and he has to go eat with him family. And he'll be coming around 1 or 1:30 . I don't know to say but this man is very unmotivated and lazy as Hell. I just asked for @ Diagnostic for my car , it easy money for him. I called him and texted him multiple times and he has blocked my number. read more

I only do reviews when I feel passionate about an experience(s) I have had. This has now been the 2nd car we have gotten serviced through Cuong. My husband found him online and they set up a time to come look at our Impala. It was a commuter car for many years and has upwards of 170,000 miles on it. For the most part, the car is a secondary- retired- car. The Impala gets driven from maybe 10 miles a week. And that's a hard maybe at that. It used to go to the gym and home. That's about it. Earlier in the week, it had overheated. To be honest we were going to just sell it and have it be someone else's 'fix it' problem. However, he explained to Cuong that we rarely use it and really only need it to go to the gym and home. Therefore - and if possible- we don't want to put a lot of money into it. Fast forward and the car has been running for months now without incidents. More so, Cuong did exactly as we asked. It get my husband to and from the gym and we paid 1/3 of what we would have paid at the dealership. It was a great all-around experience. We are now in February and my car-2014 Mercedes E350- had an issue with the duel HVAC system. It's a common issue. ****What also is important to know is my father has been racing and building engines for 'mainland' folks for decades. I always run any car issue by him first even IF he doesn't have experience with a particular brand. He suggested buying the part online because if it's a new Mercedes part from the dealer/manufacturer it's gonna get costly quickly! So, I used a vendor he uses, bought the part, and had it shipped to me. Dealer quote=900 for the part and 400+ for labor/ installation. Yea. And that was an estimate. Because it's a Mercedes my husband wanted to take it to Exclusively Mercedes for the installation. Now don't get me wrong, they are a great business and their cost is also somewhat reasonable compared to the dealership but our quote there was $1100.00 AND they said they would need to buy a new part because the interface was programmed to another car. IF you know anything about cars this is true BUT they can indeed be programmed into another car. Thus, my business went to Cuong. Personally, I'm a straight shooter. Honesty, integrity, and communication are what I look for when doing business with people. Especially with a mechanic! Cuong has upheld the qualities we look for. He's knowledgeable and his prices are way fair and super reasonable. ~Part from Ebay=$129 ~Labor=$200 ~Total= $330 ~Doing business with good people= Priceless. ~Feeling safe in your vehicle= Priceless. ~Leaving stressfree= Priceless. I wish longevity and success for Cuong and his business endeavors! We need more honest mechanics. Sidenote: The negative reviews on this page are all subjective to personal interpretation. In fact, some are really delusional in regards to time. Would you ask a surgeon "are you done yet?" or "are you going to finish in time?" Once they're in the depths of your car any number of things can happen or be found. Keep these issues in mind and practice patience and compassion. read more

My 2014 Honda CRV was having a couple issues - unfortunately, it was thanksgiving weekend. A holiday weekend + two kids under 5 make going to a garage almost impossible. C&P to the rescue! The fact that Cuong drives out to your house is honestly worth 100 stars. He was able to drive out to our house, fix my car's transmission fluid leak, and change the brake pads on a holiday weekend with one day's notice. Truly a hero among us. Cuong is now our go-to: thorough, quick communicator, and a good guy read more

I live in South San Jose and my engine starter stopped working. I sent the automated estimate request via Yelp out to all nearby auto repair companies and Cuong immediately responded. His estimate was much lower than any competitors AND he's a mobile technician so he comes to you. I got my own new starter (you probably will have to get your own replacement part, but it's much cheaper that way anyway) from O'Reilly's and we scheduled an appointment very soon after I called. He stopped by, got to work, and I went back into my house to relax. He called me when he was done and I inspected his work--no surprise he did a great job! Keep in mind this is CASH ONLY. We exchanged the dollars and handshake and he was on his way. Cuong is the man! Really appreciate your hard work, will be sending referrals your way. read more

I had a transmission fluid leak. Cuong drove to my house, got under the car, and was able to find/diagnose the problem. He went to the store purchased the necessary parts and repaired it. He did all this outside on a rainy day because I don't have a garage. He did not charge me for the initial inspection or for the parts, only for the labor. In the end, not only did I save money but I also never had to leave my house. Cuong runs a great business. I would recommend him to anyone having car issues. read more

My 2006 BMW 325i had to get an oil change to do a leak on the oil filter. Called numerous shops and they all had an appointment time that didn't fit my schedule or said no to my car because it is lowered. However thanks to Yelp, I was able to find C&P reliable Mobile Mechanic. Cuong was very responsive, and helped me find his shop location as well as talk me through the issues I was going on with my car. He provided a quick and professional service and I was in and out. If anymore problems occur, he's going to the first to call. Thank you! read more

I'm new to the area and, unfortunately my alternator went on me a couple days ago and I had to find a mobile mechanic because I had no way to get my truck towed anywhere. I had ordered my alternator from Amazon, so I called around to get a quote and find the best price. This one was by the far the best price from the other 3 mobile mechanics I talked to. I was a bit sceptical about how well this guy knew what he was doing before even meeting him in person. However, that scepticism had disappeared while I was talking to him and seeing how well prepared he was with all the right tools. On top of all that, he was very efficient and did the job in less than an hour. I am grateful to have found my new mechanic out here. I would suggest you give him a call if you're looking for a mechanic who is knowledgeable and efficient. read more

Easily my favorite mechanic in San Jose! Things have changed really fast here & prices on everything have skyrocketed. It's hard to know who to trust. I sent out a request on yelp and Cuong responded in less than 5 minutes. He was available to help me out within the hour. Not only is he impressively responsive, he is incredibly honest and reliable. I work on my own cars most of the time and am very reluctant to go to any shops if I don't have to. The job I needed him to do, I was on my way to do myself. But now that I live out of state, I don't have easy access to my tools and needed it done ASAP. Cuong was super willing to help and gave me a SUPER reasonable quote that I was happy to pay for. Awesome guy. Amazing mechanic! read more
