I had a great experience with Frank and I am grateful he was able to diagnose, troubleshoot and fix the problem. My regular mechanic was busy and I was far away from the location and couldn't risk driving the car there so I called and spoke to Frank's Mobile. He arrived timely, diagnosed the vehicle, drove it with me to troubleshoot the possible problems and thankfully it wasn't anything major imo. The cost of service was competitive and very fair. He replaced 6 spark plugs and changed the oil, and now my old car has some pep in her step. Thank you, Frank! read more

Best Mobile mechanic I have ever used. He came to my work on time. I gave him my car and wen tback to work. 20 minutes later he was finished changing my brake and my headlight light bulb had been changed read more

Frank today Mobil pre-purchased inspection for me on my new vehicle. He was great provided thorough feedback.

Great experience with Frank. Quick and reliable. Honest with no upsell. I would recommend him.

Frank was amazing, very communicative, honest, and personable. I have had many trucks, with many issues, seen many many mechanics and there's always some catch or other problem. He came, he listened and fixed the truck. He doesn't have to pay rent for an overpriced shop, so it was extremely reasonable. I will be using Frank for all my trucks. Thank you. read more

Frank did an amazing job working on my model X replacing the controller arms on the front end. We ran into a few little hiccups here and there, but all in all he knocked it out of the park. Would definitely be hiring Frank again. read more

I needed a pre-purchase inspection on a used electric mini SE that I was purchasing remotely and would not have a chance to personally see the car. Frank was able to do the inspection within 24 hours (and actually offered to show up within 2 hours but I wasn't done negotiating some details with the dealer!), took a bunch of photos and videos along with a test drive and close inspection for evidence of an un-reported accident. He also used his souped-up OBD reader, which had access to more info & codes than my basic amazon OBD reader and found some codes. Although the codes ended up not being an issue I was very glad to have been made aware of them and have peace of mind that there was nothing else hidden in the system. Unlike the other mobile mechanic I contacted, Frank also was open to taking off the tires to get better access to the suspension, steering and brakes for inspection. Ultimately the dealer didn't let us take off the tires, but I appreciated the Frank was game to do it to get an even closer inspection if we had been allowed to do so. We purchased the car and felt very comfortable with Frank's inspection! read more

Went to shit. Took off w Money he was supposed to get a part for my car with. Blew me off. Kept saying he was busy. Etc.

This person is not a mechanic. He is not qualified to do a mechanical work on a car. Just because you have an OBD scanner does not make you mechanic. First he said he did work on my German car on the phone, he said yes I've change ignition coils and spark plugs. So I gave home a shot. He arrived I asked him if he knew where coil # 5 is, he said it's either on this side or that side. That should have been my clue to dismiss this guy but I needed the work done. Then he asked me how to remove the manifold again i should have dismissed this guy. So he did all the work from the side. What ended up happening he replaced the coil andthe car now had different symptoms and different OBD codes. He said he didn't know why. I asked him to fix it he said no. i just told him to leave. I then took the car to a reputable shop around the corner which should have done and guess what. The guy said whoever replaced your coil messed with the wiring. DONT TRUST THIS GUY. He won't even return calls or messages. His lack of knowledge caused the secondary issue. Don't do business with this guy. BUYER BEWARE! He was watching videos on how to do the job. He is NOT QUALIFIED! read more

This guy is a con artists. He gave me several diagnosis's in a short amount of time regarding the issue with my truck, all of which were incorrect. He claims that the $100 diagnosis fee would be applied towards fixing the vehicle, but then tells me he "doesn't actually do that sort of repair." Because of his lack of knowledge, I ended up waiting several hours of my time trying to fix the issue without any change to the vehicles performance. Then when I reached out to him to let him know that wasn't the problem and that I needed more help, he told me to stop harassing him..... Now I'm sure that if you need something simple like an oil change, then he'd be able to handle that but for anything more serious involving a check engine light, go to a real mechanic. read more

Frank was awesome super nice friendly had a very calm present. But he responded to my questions quickly and was an my house in less then an hour. I high recommend him to family and friends I'm glad I found a great mechanic near by. Thank you Frank! read more

Frank was professional, knowledgeable, and really friendly. I needed a timing belt replacement on my Honda. I love working on car myself but replacing timing belt is too complex for me. Frank let me work on my car with him. He taught me a lot and I learned a great deal. Highly recommended. read more

I highly recommend frank for your auto needs! Honest and reliable and does an amazing job!

I have a classic 1975 K5. Thought the starter was out. Frank came out, tested a few things, found that the battery was the issue. He ordered a new battery, installed and did some minor work to my Blazer. Fairly priced and on time. My Blazer starts perfectly and I appreciate Franks time. I will use him again. Great guy! read more

Recently had an issue with my car where I could not drive it. Didn't want to tow it. Frank was the only one who showed up and was willing to do the work. Reasonable prices and quick service. 100% will use again! read more

I have been getting a used car up to snuff since I bought it. Managed to a bunch solo: O2 sensor, thermostat sensor, fuel filter...just some basic stuff that I managed to find some youtube videos on. When the engine light came on for a thermostat replacement, though, I just couldn't find the gall to do it myself. So I hired Frank. Frank arrived when he said he would, and immediately got to work. The mobile mechanic dynamic is new to me, and Frank is a great, chill, smart and patient man who was willing to share experience and info about the repair, since I had researched the repair before deferring to a real pro. He got it done in a reasonable time at a great price. I gladly recommend Frank's services to anyone who may need them. read more

Strong recommend for Frank! He's an incredibly nice, honest, straight up professional that performs quality work for a great price. I needed my front brake pads & rotors replaced and Frank quoted one of the best prices out of the half dozen or so shops/mechanics I reached out to. More importantly, you could tell that Frank cares about his work & his clients and actually wants to do some good, providing them a service they can count on at a price that doesn't break the bank. For the service itself, Frank was on time and efficient, completing the job in the parking lot of my apartment complex in some 90 minutes, all while I was able to get on with my work day without interruption. The next time you need a mechanic you can trust, Frank is the one! read more

Frank did an awesome job. I'd absolutely hire him again and recommend him to anyone needing a mobile mechanic.

This review is long overdue, but I wanted to thank Frank for his amazing work and flexibility after my 2004 Toyota Camry would not start from a leaky battery. I tried to clean my leaking battery but I broke a terminal connection. Since I was not able to start the car due to the bad connection, I messaged Frank on Yelp for his help that evening on a Saturday. To my surprise, Frank responded within 15 minutes and asked for my vehicle details and location so that he could be there after another job. By 6PM, he texted me that he would at my car soon and went to work. The battery terminal was extremely difficult to replace since the acid ate through part of the connector. But Frank managed to get it replaced with his own parts. Unfortunately, the car would not start, so Frank went through his troubleshooting checklist and realized that my idle RPM was too low. He stayed for an extra hour to help my car relearn its idle and be able to start successfully. Frank charges a fair price, and you will be in great hands with his expertise and knowledge as a mechanic. I am more than happy to recommend Frank if you cannot make your way to a shop. Thanks Frank! Tips: - If you are parked on the street, try to park next to a lamp post if it's night time for extra visibility - If you have to park a bit far from your apartment/house, use this time to clean/organize your car in case Frank needs you - But give your mechanics space! No need to look over his shoulder because he knows what he is doing! - Make sure to carry small bills as well so that you can pay Frank in exact change read more

Frank came to the rescue! My daughters car would not start after her work shift. She had called AAA but they said it was not the battery but the Alternator. I called numerous others on Yelp but Frank was the only Mobile service. He located the part and came to the car and fixed it and the Alternator belt and topped off the oil for me! He is fantastic and you can trust him with your teens. Great guy and great mechanic. Highly recommend! Keep his Biz card in your glove compartment. read more

Frank was professional, reliable and got me back on the road. I needed a new alternator so I got 3 estimates prior to calling Frank. He beat the other 3 estimates and was able to get me in the next morning, as you know, being without a car is a huge inconvenience! He showed up when he said he would, fixed my car within a few hours and got my car up and running. Definitely recommend Frank! read more

What a fantastic mechanic. Knowledgeable. Thorough. Diligent. Responsive. Exceptional pricing. And he comes to you. Highly recommended.

I had my oil changed within three hours of contacting Frank! Incredibly responsive, polite and friendly communicating pricing, appointment, etc. in advance. Incredibly nice guy, super clean operation and highly recommend it! I will use him going forward. read more

Frank was absolutely wonderful! My car wouldn't start yesterday evening and he was out the next morning. He provided a quote (very reasonably priced and five star service ) and fixed my car within a couple hours. I would highly recommend -- honest, responsive, communicative. He provided detailed info on what was wrong with my vehicle and follow up information once it was fixed. Frank is now my go to mobile mechanic. Thank you Frank! read more

I was shopping around for a mobile oil change and frank was not only the most reasonably priced - but the most responsive ! He seems like a very down to earth honest individual. He recommended some work my car may need . He explained everything thoroughly and didn't pressure me in any way . He's very knowledgeable and really had a great experience. We plan on utilizing him for all maintenance service in the future ! read more

UPDATE BELOW - IGNORE INITIAL REVIEW Absolutely great! We contacted Frank about a Ford E450 stuck in park a few days ago. The following day I explained our situation and we made an appointment for the next morning. He gave us a heads up when he was on his way and was punctual and friendly. Most importantly, he got down to the root of the problem and helped us get the vehicle out of park again for street sweeping. The vehicle still needs a specific part, but at least we can drive it to the shop! Frank's rate is great and I highly recommend him; We will be using his services in the future! Thank you again! UPDATE We had Frank come out and work on our E450 shuttle bus conversion- the gearshift was stuck in park. We are full time living in our bus, @treehousebus so it's really difficult to take it to a shop and cough up the money to stay in a hotel for as long as it takes for them to finish. I messaged him with the situation and kind of vehicle, asking if it was out of his wheelhouse and knowledge to work on- he seemed confident he could fix it. After his arrival Frank and I discussed that it was potentially a fuse, and after deliberation he decided it was not the fuse. He did not check the fuse, and he unplugged all kinds of things under the dash, before claiming it was something beyond his knowledge and we needed to take it to a shop to get a specific part. Turns out- it was the fuse. $300 in hotel expenses, and $150 to another mechanic later, they fixed something that could have been done for less than $20. Not only that, but after Frank's visit- our turn signals stopped working. Another $650, and $300 in hotel expenses- I took the bus to a diesel specialist and they said that there is now a plethora of electrical problems, all sourced with what Frank messed with the day we had him come out. I'm thoroughly disappointed with the outcome of our vehicle inspection. I say inspection, because he in fact did not fix anything- he made it worse. This is not just our vehicle, it is our home- now due to the work we had him do, my home is not legally driveable and he is prohibiting our travels (and my traveling business) even further. The fact that we initially left him such a nice review is a blatant smack in the face. I messaged him regarding the damage done and he ghosted me. I would've asked him to come out and remedy the situation, but I'm terrified to even have him touch my vehicle again. If you need some simple task like getting your oil changed, he might work out for you. Anything more serious pertaining to your situation, I highly recommend seeking aid elsewhere. read more

I had a starter issue with my CX-9 so instead of towing it to a shop it made perfect sense to get a mobile mechanic. I had tried a big company in the past and was frustrated with their lack of transparency and fee add-on's. I found Frank through yelp and he had great reviews so I decided to trust the Yelp community and contact him. He replied right away and we set up an appointment for next day. He arrived early, gave me a diagnosis and an estimate, and was done with replacing my starter in less than 1.5 hr. My car worked like new and I'm super happy with his service. As bonus he even referred me to a body-repair person that can fix my bumper. Highest recommendation for an awesome professional that provides quality service! Two thumbs up!! read more

I had Frank come out to fix my car. He couldn't fix the alternator and he ended up breaking my radiator, not telling me and it leaked all the way to the other mechanic shop. After paying him I now have more to fix on my car. read more

Frank performed a pre-purchase inspection on a truck I was interested in buying. He was as helpful, professional, honest, and expert as you could ever ask. I really couldn't have been happier with his service. Once I decided to buy it, I hired him to do some minor maintenance on it before taking it on a long road trip. He was great about scheduling and got it all done in the time he estimated and even gave me a discount because I had paid foe the inspection first. Great guy. Should be your first call if you need a mechanic. read more

Frank made a next day appt and showed up early. I feel his prices are really fair. Not cheap but he didn't gauge me. Frank did quality work and guaranteed not only the product he installed but his service. He gave 5 star service for sure. I will call him first when I have a mechanical need that I can't handle. Thank you Frank. read more

He's been my primary mechanic for about 3 years now and every single time my car situation requires his services, he has always given me a simple fix solution.

Frank was quick, responsive and did great work at a fair price. I'll be calling him again.

I called Frank and experienced a call back with 2 hours with excellent communication and willingness to come out on a Sunday. Frank texted an estimated time which turned out to be very accurate and texted when he was en route and arrived promptly when he said he would. Frank's trunk of his VW was extremely organized and complete. Frank replaced the alternator with a factory replacement and had diagnosed the problem correctly. He told me he long it would take, which he called it 2 1/2 hours, he got that right, too. I wasn't sure if he was going to get it replaced in the time he stated since he went at it differently than the YouTube video of the the same repair. He did the repair expertly! I'm very impressed and definitely already recommended him to others. V/R, Steve S. read more

I had problems with my Ford van yesterday. I called Frank , and although he was with a client, he promised that he would fit me into his schedule that day. He came earlier than I expected. figured out the problem, and then fixed the problem. He was pleasant, knowledgeable, efficient, and quite reasonable in his pricing. I was very happy. Frank gets 5 stars! I will use him again.....and you should too! He is an an uncommon mechanic, and we need more of what he represents today!!! Bill Pierce read more

I called Frank on a Monday morning to do an inspection on a van before we purchased it. He fit us in when we needed him and was timely, professional, thorough, and respectful. He was very helpful and gave us the information we needed to make an informed purchase. We are so glad we hired him and if we ever need a mobile mechanic in the area again we will definitely hire him! read more

So after work my car wouldn't start. A lot of shops were closed and I did not have AAA. I like the concept of the mechanic going to you so I thought I'd give Frank a try. I figured it was the starter so I called him and let him know. It was late in the day so he said he could help me out the next day which was fine. He let me know when to expect him late afternoon, and to my surprise he called me in the morning to let me know he could come in the morning because an appointment cancel on him. Well all I can say is he provides great work and doesn't try to scam you by scaring you to get more work done like other mechanics. He is upfront and reasonably priced and stays in communication so you know that he is coming. He is well connected in the Costa Mesa area so he can get parts right away if it is early enough in the day. Definitely made my life easier having to deal with only one guy and not have to try to coordinate tow trucks and figure out where to take it. read more

Frank did a fantastic job. He was timely, the work was excellent and the cost was incredibly reasonable.
