I left with a $30 tab, check engine light off/fixed, and a plan to come back in a few months for brake pads only. He said if it were his car, he'd wait because nothing was urgent. It felt like family: I was treated with respect and left with a smile. I've found my new neighborhood garage!!

There were recommendations for what was immediate (that I already assumed was an issue) and then more info on things that could wait with estimates for each individual item. There were photos and an online form that allowed me to approve or decline the work making the process effortless. Even the shop, waiting area and bathrooms are clean! WOW!

She has zero oil on her garage floor so I was surprised. They found no oil leak either. Imagine that!

Thank goodness she called me before turning her car over to these cheats.

It is hard to find someone you feel comfortable with as a mechanic. I moved to Hastings 6 years ago…read moreand have used local dealerships and a couple other local shops for service work. One even told me after he stripped my oil pan drain plug it was because I had my oil changed way to often ( every 3000 miles )so my pan wore out so he wouldn't fix it. Funny he didn't mention that when he was changing it in all of my cars before. So I went back to changing my own oil from then on. I needed some work done that I could not do as oil changes is about as handy as I am. I went to Yelp to get some ideas. Asked for for estimates. Several got back to me and some made some stupid suggestions. Except for Kristy and Tim. I had them do the work and it was done very fast, very reasonable and happy with the results. Tim makes sure that you know what you need and what can wait. He doesn't try to talk you into any un needed work. He explains everything very well. Tim is a very nice guy. His wife gave me a ride home because my truck had to stay a day or two. She was very friendly and is also a mechanic. If you haven't tried Tims Repair then next time give them a try. I think you will be pleased. Tim will be getting all my cars from now on.

If I could give them 10 stars, I would. I cannot emphasize…read moreenough the excellent customer service provided by Mobile Essences. A few months ago I had an after market rear view mirror and blind spot detectors installed in my 2006 Honda Element. They were extremely professional and courteous and I was very happy with how things turned out. That alone deserved an excellet review and I am remiss in getting that posted. It's what happened afterwards that makes them a standout. In a nutshell: 1. Work done at Mobile Essences in June 2. Car would not start on Saturday Aug. 8 and I was unable to wait till Monday to go to my regular trusted mechanic, so I went to a chain auto service store and they replaced the 4 month old battery. 3. Car died again 2 days later and they blamed the issue on the wiring of my new rearview camera. 4. This was Wed. and once again I was in a situation where I absolutely needed the car on Friday. I contacted Mobile Essences and asked for their help. They completely dropped everything to help me and said they would look at it immediately. After a thorough inspection, they determined the aftermarket wiring was not the cause. Because they knew I was in a bind, Caleb did some extra troubleshooting, pinpointed the actual issue, and then took it upon himself to call the chain store on my behalf. He called them out for charging me a $189 diagnostic fee while missing the real problem, told them exactly what part needed replacement, and strongly suggested they not charge me for any more diagnostics. That was way over and above what he needed to do. As someone who "doesn't speak car," I would have had no idea how to advocate for myself. I have no doubt Caleb's intervention saved me from being taken advantage of. 5. When I went to pick up my car and asked what I owed, Caleb told me there was no charge. They spent significant time troubleshooting a problem they didn't cause, all to help a customer in need. Mobile Essences puts integrity and customer service above everything else. Look no further for vehicle customization.

If you want lower end or cheapest stereo or stuff go somewhere else, that is NOT what they do at Mobile Essences. This is mid level to upper level components and install business. You are paying more for good durable components and reputable installers who know what they are doing. If you want to spend $400 on a system go to Walmart, if you want to spend a couple grand (or more) on a top shelf system this is the place to go!

Service was great here although I was hoping for a courtesy car while they worked on mine but they…read moredidn't have one available so they ordered me a Lyft which was great since I had to go back to work. The pricing here is ridiculous since they quoted me 4x what other places actually charged me. I had to call around to a few places to see what the average price would be to fix my blend door actuator. I ended up going to Midas and they charged me around $200 but honest1 gave me an estimate of way more I couldn't believe it. It is a convenient location and easy to make an appointment though so if you have the money for it then this place is for you but if you do not want to be overcharged Midas has always been great to me.

The guys in the front are friendly and helpful. I've never felt pressured to do more work than what I bring my car in for. Recently, they didn't have any loaner cars, so they gave me a ride to and from the shop, which was really kind and helpful. I've always had a good experience and believe them to be honest. And I like supporting a local business.

I used this place twice for my car's oil change and tire rotation needs. It was nearby to where I…read moreused to live, so it was reasonably convenient. I booked my appointments over the phone. The most recent time I booked about a week in advance and was assured they weren't very busy, yet when I got there for my appointment time, all the bays were full with cars already being worked on... My car didn't go in until like 15 to 20 minutes after my scheduled appointment time. Kind of obnoxious. To be fair, I don't know what the going rate for an oil change/tire rotation is in an economy that's constantly inflating like ours is right now. I paid $60ish for the oil and $30 for the tire rotation. I was glad it was under a hundred, but it still felt sorta pricey. I dunno. They do try to upsell you if you've got an older vehicle. This time they asked about spark plugs and "recommended" replacement every 60k miles. I did mine back at 90k so I'll do it again in 90k, thanks. Last time they told me the "previous guys" did something wrong with my tires and "offered" to fix it for $30. I still dunno if I believe what they said or if they just wanted to make another thirty bucks. They also pushed something about my dashboard last time and this time (because they'd put it in the vehicle's records that I'd declined it). I dunno. Can't get a read on the situation. At least when you decline they don't keep pushing, so there's that. I do know that while I wait in the lobby I overhear the chatter of the employees and the other customers. And it seems like they upsell always, or "discover" this or that problem. Like came in for X, so push Y. Some people might be really appreciative or feel like these guys are "looking out for you," so maybe I'm just cynical and have trust issues. It feels like the dentist where you can't disagree with them because you're not an expert, but you also suspect they're yanking you around because they know you're not an expert and no one wants a broken down car or rotten teeth. You feel me? At any rate, now that I've moved, I've found a place closer for my routine maintenance needs and I won't have to wonder anymore, but this review is here for you to decide for yourself. Bonus points for the gender neutral toilet.
