I booked this mobile mechanic through Yelp for a diagnostic after already having my Jeep scanned at…read moreAutoZone and receiving error codes (injector, spark plugs, and gaskets). I explained this upfront and still chose to proceed with a diagnostic to confirm the issue. I was quoted a flat $65 diagnostic fee by the owner with no mention of pricing ranges or tiers. I agreed and scheduled the service. The technician arrived about 30 minutes later than scheduled, which I was informed of ahead of time. During a brief text exchange with the owner, I expressed concern due to a prior negative experience with another company. The response I received made the interaction feel slightly tense, including being told I could "find someone else" if needed. When the technician arrived, I explained the issues and the codes I already had. During the inspection, the technician began deeper inspection work on the vehicle. I was not clearly informed beforehand that more extensive disassembly or work beyond a basic diagnostic could result in additional charges. Afterward, I was told the diagnostic would actually be $200 due to the depth of the inspection, despite originally being quoted $65. After discussing this, I was ultimately charged $75. I expressed concern that the pricing change was not communicated upfront. The owner later acknowledged that he should have communicated a pricing range and that this was a mistake on his part. I requested a copy of the diagnostic findings I was being charged for. The response indicated there was no formal report, but pictures and a summary were provided. Communication afterward included frustration from the business regarding the reduced payment, despite the pricing change being due to lack of prior disclosure. While I do believe the technician performed the inspection thoroughly and provided useful findings, the core issue was the lack of clear communication around pricing structure, scope of work, and potential cost changes before work beyond a basic diagnostic began. I would recommend future customers get very clear written confirmation of what is included in the diagnostic fee, whether deeper inspection can change pricing, and what documentation will be provided before service begins.

I am so excited to have found such a fair, honest and convenient mechanic! Tanner was excellent in…read morehis communication, fairly priced, and went above and beyond to even put gas in my car while test driving it. He gave recommendations based on other things he noticed and sent me an estimate for those services right away. He provided video of the issue, receipts and an invoice itemizing work performed right away. Communicating via text was so helpful as I was coordinating the repairs while working, and he made everything so seamless! I will definitely be using Tapia Auto for all my needs going forward!

Chris started off being very responsive and great. Also offered us a two year warranty on labor…read more Took over $1400 in repairs and did do a lot of work on the car. However, car still has a thermostat issue (the temperature is perennially low). Also, it's unclear whether the head gasket was even a problem with the car. There was actually an issue with the water pump and I paid extra to get the car back into working condition. I got my motor mounts replaced but they are misaligned. I contacted him a couple times to come back and fix it, but he's been unresponsive. Due to the warranty papers I could take him to court over the motor mounts, and maybe the thermostat issue. It's okay though, I'll just take it to a more reputable mechanic.

About a year ago, I took my LS engine block to APA Total Car Care to get a quote for replacing the…read morecam bearings, and unfortunately, I didn't have a great experience. When I dropped the block off, I was asked to leave it by the shop door. It sat in that exact spot for over two weeks before I finally received a quote, which I felt was unreasonably high for the work. I understand that shops have minimum charges, but waiting more than two weeks for a quote on a cam bearing replacement--only to receive a price that high--was frustrating. When I picked the block up, it had developed some surface rust because it hadn't been moved the entire time it was there. That said, the staff was friendly and professional throughout the process. Because of that, I'd be willing to give them another chance if I needed different work in the future. However, my first experience ended up being a frustrating waste of time.

Took my '14 Coyote in for a dyno tune after I did intake, headers, exhaust, etc. Tiffany was super helpful and communicated very well through the whole process! They knocked it out quickly, did a full blown custom tune (not the copy/paste crap or email in tunes that other places use) and the car drives and feels amazing. Everyone there was super knowledgeable and friendly, and it was well worth the money.
