    Workers left a paper in the A\C blower motor
    Erik M.

    I asked for an oil change and air filter check. The car after returned was making an odd noise when the A\C was turned on. We checked the air filter and out popped a partially torn paper with instructions how to change the filter... I've been going here for many years because it's close to where I live. They have made other mistakes like forgetting to plug in my rear view lights again after replacing bulb. They couldn't fix my old sonata either and the check engine light returned 3 times when promised it was fixed. I thought easy jobs was okay to trust this place, but I was wrong. Only bring your car here if you want a high chance of screw ups on your car.

    This is what my $40 caress came with. Clearly not cleaning the inside of the car.

    This is what a $40 car wash comes with clearly not cleaning the inside of the car. Not even a bother to wipe it much less clean it.

    Yup... My car is still working perfectly fine one year later. To think they really tried scamming me and telling me my car didn't work while I had my baby with me!!!

    Camber alignment
    Robert T.

    ***Update to my review. Per Lorenzo Ong the manager's suggestion I bought a camber alignment set that was supposed to be for my Subaru STI Hatch that it originally never had after I installed it I retuned to the shop to do another realignment (they do have a 3 month warranty on alignments) I was amazed how fast the service was and how my car can now have a camber adjustment. The results were great all my wheels are now perfectly aligned! Kudos to Lorenzo and his team of professionals

I reached out to Refined Auto with the same request, and it was a more reasonable price, especially since I had no idea if I needed to do anything to my rotors.

My dad has not been able to stop talking about how Cesar did an amazing job on my car, how clean he works, how he keeps his tools, and his communication. My dad was so impressed with the quality of work Cesar provided on my car that he decided to get a quote for replacing his rotors. When Ceasr finished on my car, he let me know that my brake fluid was not in good condition. He drained my brake fluid and replaced it with new fluid. He explained to me in detail that brake fluid should not be topped off. I had no idea, and apparently, my dad didn't know either, and we had topped it off because it was low. Now, I know, for future reference, that when it's low, I should replace my brakes. I appreciate the work that Cesar did on my car and his communication. I will absolutely use his service again and recommend him to friends and family.

Zeph didn't try to upsell me on items or make me feel inferior for having any questions - he was honest and professional both times, and i look forward to continuing my business with him. all together the service has been stellar and the price has been a great value for the quality of service you get. the photo inspection report alone help put me at ease because i didn't just have to trust the mechanic's word - he showed me, and documented it all.

They were quick to respond, clearly explained the issue with my vehicle, and provided an honest and fair estimate before starting any work. The convenience of having a skilled mechanic come directly to my location was a huge plus. What really stood out was the level of knowledge and attention to detail. They took the time to properly diagnose the problem instead of just guessing or pushing unnecessary repairs. Throughout the process, everything was explained in a way that was easy to understand, which made me feel confident and informed. The work was completed efficiently, and my car has been running perfectly since. It's refreshing to find a mechanic who is reliable, transparent, and genuinely cares about the quality of their work. No pressure, no upselling--just honest, expert service. If you own a VW, Audi, or any TDI vehicle and want dealership-level expertise without the dealership hassle or pricing, VAG Mobile Mechanic is the way to go. Highly recommended, and I'll definitely be using them again for future maintenance and repairs.

Instead of fixing the actual problem, they upsold her over $2000 worth of work, and returned the vehicle still leaking- actually worse than before. Because my sister had to leave town, I personally dealt with the shop afterward. They kept the vehicle back and forth a total of 4 weeks, during which their clearly incompetent technicians couldn't identify the source of the leak. After all that time, they suddenly claimed they "found" the leak and of course, wanted even more money to fix it. Ricky, the so-called "manager," was fake, dishonest, and straight up lied to my face. He claimed they never touched the reservoir that was leaking - which is impossible, because that part must be transferred when replacing the power steering pump they already installed. This shows their complete lack of knowledge, or intentional dishonesty. The vehicle was NEVER FIXED, and I had to take it to another shop. What we did get was weeks of wasted time, money burned on Ubers going back and forth, and nonstop gaslighting instead of accountability. This shop preys on customers who don't know cars and just try to upsell, deflect, and lie when things go wrong. Educate yourself before taking your vehicle to ANY shop, but most importantly-- AVOID THIS ONE. Absolutely terrible experience from start to finish.
