I have 2017 Ford Expedition EL XLT that was smoking heavily due to leak oil from the vacuum pump. I considered myself to be somewhat mechanically included and I am very particular on who I let working on my cars as I have been burnt many times from bad mechanics. I have heard many good things about Gabe's works and have decided to reach out. From the start, Gabe was quick to respond and asked all the right questions about the jobs. I dropped the car off on Sunday night thinking that I will have to leave the car for 4-5 days but that wasn't the case! Gabe got the job done quick and the car was ready to be picked up on Monday. He even tackled the side project that I added on (I wanted to add transmission cooler on the car) last minute and completed it on time. He updated me every steps of the way. He's definitely a mechanic that you can trust to get things done right the first time and not rushing through to get things done. For example, how many mechanics out there would realistically wait for RTV to set before torque everything down ? 90% of mechanics I used in the past would have just buttoned up the job and send you on your way but not Gabe. Gabe spent extra time waiting for the RTV to set to make sure that this will be the last leak my car will ever see. TLDR version; Gabe is badass, honest, and knowledgeable. I will definitely bring other projects back here. read more

I needed my rear brakes replaced and asked for estimates on Yelp. Gabe presented a very competitive cost and I asked him to perform the work. He said the parts were on order and it would take a few days for them to arrive. He gave me a target date and notified me the day before that he could come and do the work the following day. He arrived a few minutes early and said it would take an hour to an hour and a half. He finished the work early and test drove the car. On returning he said he heard a noise and to double check his work, he decided to pull both wheels and inspect. He found a small part that was not related to the work he had done and fixed it. He spent an extra hour to make sure both he and I were satisfied. That is the kind of integrity that we sorely miss in many transactions today. read more

June 17, 2025 I deeply appreciated him. He responded the same evening I put in a car repair need, which took away a lot of stress. He was very patient and clear in his communication, walking me step by step through everything. In the end the problem with my car was totally a different issue, which got resolved. When I called to let him know I got the problem taken care of, he was still of the same demeanor, very patient and respectful, as well as being very knowledgeable of his profession. I highly recommend him to anyone. He's a good person & won't steer you wrong. Encountering professionals like him is a breath of fresh air, especially with all of the challenges we are currently being faced with. Thank you, A new comer to the Portland area read more

Gabriel was extremely responsive, knowledgeable and very flexible when it comes to getting the job done. He is also very organized when he arrived to replace my driver side front lower control arm. He had every tool imaginable. His also straight to the job he never took a break or wasted anytime. If you value quality work his the one for the job. I also appreciated his transparency when it came to other things needing fixing that the main chain missed. While also showing me visually what he was speaking about. As a woman he gives me faith that no matter the gender his going to be honest and truthful about the job. read more

Gabe is quick to respond and he was able to come out same day to my home. He communicated prior to coming the rate for diagnostics. Upon arrival he explained what he was checking on and the results to narrow down my electrical issue. My battery was low and old, so he ran out to get a new one and was back in less than 30min. Once the new battery was in we tested the SUV out and everything started working properly again. He had a tablet to do diagnostics and reviewed it with me. Gabe was friendly, good communication, and he did a great job fixing my SUV. I highly recommend him for your auto needs. read more

I had a great experience with Gabriel, a mobile mechanic who came to fix my serpentine belt. He arrived the same day I contacted him, right to my location, which was incredibly convenient. Gabriel was honest with his estimation, explained everything clearly, and didn't try to upsell anything unnecessary. The price was very reasonable, and the job was done quickly and professionally. He also has a great attitude -- very polite, friendly, and easy to talk to. If you're looking for a mechanic who's trustworthy, skilled, and provides excellent customer service, I highly recommend Gabriel. read more

A rarity! Fantastic service! Fast, friendly and efficient! I messaged Gabe's about 10:30am today, Friday the 10th of January. he set an appointment to diagnose an issue with my 2015 Honda Fit. Gabe showed up at 1pm on the dot. Plugged into my car with his device, checked some settings, reset the codes, went with me to test drive and explained it all. He was done and gone in 30 minutes! Would I recommend?? -I have him coming back Monday to do an oil change for me-says it all. Great job Gabe! read more

Selected Gabe because of his professional attitude and his obvious knowledge when discussed over the phone. I also really like the fact that he provides mobile services and did the job at my house. Gabe completed the job on my powerstroke truck in a timely manner and communicated very well in advance of starting. Job was done to my expectations and I will use Gabe again. I highly recommend using Gabes Garage read more

I used Gabe's Garage Mobile Mechanic today June 20 2025. Gabe was very prompt economical, and efficient. He was courteous, and knowledgeable, although he was hesitant to work on a 50 year old vehicle that was built long before he was born. Using his service was very easy from first contact to job done and payment. I will definitely use him again for any auto repair, and any of my vehicles. JOB WELL DONE!! read more

Gabe was very responsive, timely and overall an honest and ethical mechanic. His estimate for the original job was very fair. Our initial job went south, due to an unforeseen car issue. He pivoted and helped us diagnose the issue. While it was not good news for us, I so appreciate his knowledge and understanding. I would highly recommend Gabe. He definitely knows cars and was great to work with. read more

Looking for an honest mechanic? If you are, then I feel Gabe fills the bill. I thought I needed a new ignition switch, but Gabe advised me to first check my car key as it might be worn out. It was, and after replacing it, my car started perfectly. I could easily have spent $300-500.00 on a new ignition switch, but with Gabe's help, I only spent $5.00 for a new key. Thanks Gabe. read more

Gabe got a quote/bid back to me in 20 mins and ordered the part 5 mins after I put the deposit down. He came out the day after he got the part. His service was professional, he had lots of excellent advice and knowledge and provided quality work at a very fair price. It's really hard to find a mechanic this honest and punctual and I already have more work lined up with him! read more

Helped me figure out why my car was leaking in the rain! He was super honest and knowledgeable, met me the day after I reached out and identified my problem quickly. He even recommended future steps to fix my leak and mitigate furthur damage to my car. It was also much less expensive than other quotes I got for this issue. I am so happy with my experience thank you! read more

Gabe's Garage was a great experience from start to finish. What stood out to me the most was his attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile. It was also more convenient and economical than taking it in to a shop. I would definitely recommend Gabe's services to anyone looking for someone to come out and take a look at their car. 5 stars all the way. read more

Gabe has been a lifesaver. I've used him twice now, and both times he quickly diagnosed the issue, ordered the necessary parts, and came back to fix it in a timely manner. He explains everything clearly, his pricing is very fair, and the convenience of having the work done at home--especially with a toddler--makes a huge difference. I highly recommend him! read more

I did not use Gabe's Garage Mobile Mechanic for my brake repair job, but when I initially put my job order request in, they responded promptly and had a very competitive price. The only reason that I chose a different mechanic is because they were able to get the parts and repair done a few days sooner than Gabe's Garage. read more

I needed a radiator swap for a busted radiator flange. Gabe estimated the work correctly and didn't up charge. the repair didn't go perfectly, but he stood by his work, was good at explaining what happened and got it sorted out. Having work done at my house saved me a lot of time and money. 10/10, would recommend. read more

I had an unknown issue with my 21 year old car. This turned out to be a fluke which was diagnosed by Gabe. This was great news because I needed to sell it. With Gabe's help and his expertise, I confidently sold it for 1000$ more than expected! On time and professional, look no further- read more
