It's one of the best decisions I have made this year. Will was able to come out with a day or so and run a diagnostics check, quickly locating the issue and showing me the results. He explained to me what the issue was, discussed options, gave me a full quote and a price - highly competitive. With me agreeing to what needed to be done, he ordered the part (Saturday) and came back the next day (Sunday) to install it. Incredibly helpful and so polite, he showed me the new part, walked me through what he was going to do and afterward even showed me the part he removed and explained the wear and why it was actually perfect timing. Within hours I was up and running again, good as new. I have NEVER had service like this from a dealership in all my years of being a car owner and driver (and that's several decades). Will also flagged other things that I needed to be aware of (including needing an oil change - which I will be getting him to come and do) but at no point pushed for me to do them there and then - zero pressure, just guidance. He repeatedly asked if I had any questions and was keen for me to understand what was happening and why - superb! He even cleared up the work area after he'd finished. Flawless. Aside from the convenience and Will just being an incredibly nice guy, his attention to detail and service are second to none. Friendly and knowledgable, he works hard to make sure you understand what he's doing, and is professional and polite at every step along the way. Will clearly cares and takes great pride in what he does. He's the only person I will be going to for my automotive service needs from now on. Highly recommended.

Although losing him, especially "that way" is very disheartening, a recent break down, lead me to take a chance on Mobile Mechanic. I called and spoke with Will to get an estimate on my repair. He was professional, knowledgeable, quoted me a resonable price, and gave me an appointment. The next day, Will showed up at my house ON TIME and with a great personality. He came fully equipped and prepared to fix my suv. The repair took less than the 2 hours he originally estimated. I'm so glad I took a chance on Mobile Mechanic. I love the convenience of mobile auto repair. It was great not having to worry about getting a ride to and from a repair shop. I'm sticking with Will for any future car maintenance or repair issues. Thank you so much Will.

DO NOT use this towing company if you care about your vehicle…read more We called Southland Towing for a flatbed tow after our car got a flat from a pothole. The dispatch process started around mid-afternoon and we waited a while, but the real issue was the driver's operation and handling once he arrived. While loading the vehicle onto the flatbed, the driver slammed the front end and caused significant damage. This wasn't a minor scrape -- the damage was serious enough that we're now dealing with a costly repair estimate and an insurance/claims process. What made it even worse was how the driver responded afterward: extremely nonchalant, downplayed the situation, and acted like it was no big deal. He even made comments implying we should be "grateful" it wasn't worse. No accountability and no professionalism. If you're calling a tow company, and you're already having a bad day -- the last thing you need is a driver who adds thousands of dollars of damage through negligence!! We will not be using Southland Towing again and I strongly recommend calling someone else before you decide to give your business to these guys, do better.

The initial towing company charged us $1100 to tow our car a little less than 5 miles to the collision center (with ridiculous add on fees by the way) and so we had Reliable Tow Pros do the second tow back to our place. Their fee was significantly more reasonable (~ $250) for the distance that they needed to tow it back to our place. Owner was extremely friendly and transparent -- the complete opposite of the first towing company that took our car. In addition, we were in a rush to get our car towed back to our place within the hour because we had to catch a flight at LAX and they were able to make it happen so kudos to Reliable Tow Pros! HIGHLY recommend if you are in need of a towing company that is friendly and communicative! For sure keeping them in our contacts for any future roadside assistance.

Dr. Wheel Mobile Repair - Los Angeles

Dr. Wheel is the real deal. I'm really particular about my cars so I vet who works on our family's…read morefleet and I'm very discriminating about I go back to for work. I look for service, responsiveness, and most of all quality and workmanship. Dr Wheel covers all the bases. I'll be honest, I was a little suspect at first. Their process seemed a little too good to be true. After getting various quotes from a range of others, the price was all over the place from too cheap to extraordinarily expensive. Dr. Wheel is on the lower side of the equation. The other thing, they come to your house. Say what? Got me wondering how solid of a repair we were looking at. Well, once I dug into the process, saw that the work is warranted for a year, I figured I'd give them a shot. First, we had them do two aftermarket wheels which relatively minor damage. The result was pretty incredible. The wheels looked good as new and honestly, I couldn't remember where the blemishes were . Months later the wheels looked great. Today, we got four wheels on my wife's car done, all with curb rash to a varying degree and the result was great. The challenge today wasn't the damage, it actually wasn't super complex or extensive. It was the color. From the factory, the color is pretty unique, but the Dr. Wheel team got it pretty much exactly. A special shout out to Jonathan, who came out to our house twice and did a great job. Friendly, professional, thorough, and just an all around solid dude. Not that I hope to get more curb rash on any of our wheels (nor do I wish that for you!), but if we do, we will definitely go back to them. We've already referred them to a few neighbors.

Luckily, she…read moreknew of Dr Wheel, (she used them twice prior for her Camry) needless to say I ended up needing their service. I left a deposit and made the appointment. Jonathan showed up promptly and got work immediately on my rim. His work and skills are impeccable. It only took him roughly about 20-25 minutes to leave my wheel looking "Good as new" for less than the cost of a new wheel. I definitely recommend Dr Wheel for your curb/parking mishaps. Hopefully I won't need their services again but if ever my wheels get damaged, I'll gladly use Dr Wheel again! Thank you Jonathan for the fast, friendly and incredible service.

A tech repair person first quoted me double of what he personally fixed out of pocket and after he asked me to send him money personally to his Zelle account, he said not to tell his office. He said if I go through company it was $1400 then seconds later he said $740 if I pay him direct. Now he is saying he didn't repair the gate but I have text messages saying he fixed it and it was just because of a battery issue. Now he is saying and disclosing to all parties lies that the gate would not work. Beware beware beware look for other companies. If the owner sees this message please contact me directly. I will be more than willing to provide any personal text messages with the technician. UPDATE: The owner called me, begging for me to take down the review and was not aware her technicians were behaving the way they were getting paid under the table. I told her I will not remove the review until I am assured the new homeowners are satisfied and will not follow through with a lawsuit there unprofessionalism Caused a threat from the new homeowners and this is 100% completely accurate. As a business owner, regardless of your personal or financial situation, a business owner should take full accountability of the people they contract or hire. I offered the owner if she remedies the problem I will remove the review.

*RESPONSE TO CHRISTIAN AND HIS LIES AT THE END!!!*…read more Basically almost got SCAMMED by this company. WHAT A FRAUD!!! 6 weeks ago we had them come out to fix our gate since it wasn't opening and closing. Service was fine, but now the gate isn't opening and closing again. I reached out to Christian to see if they could come out check on the issue. Mind you, per our conversation, I asked already about services and fixed and what the cost would be. Of course they say there needs to be an inspection. Ok fine... but when the guy came out and said now it's a motherboard issue and charging is $1795 or $1300 (insane pricing btw when a motherboard is a few hundred bucks) we obviously could not afford it and said we'll have to do it another time. Lo' and behold, the tech asks for a $45 service fee which was NEVER discussed with Christian. If im asking you already what the services/fixes will be don't you think you'd mention that there'd be a $45 service fee plus whatever needs to be fixed based on inspection? Again... NO MENTION OF SERVICE FEE! I even told him that if I knew that, I wouldn't have even bothered having them come out then... Keep in mind this is SIX WEEKS after the initial fix which is shocking to me that they didn't notice anything wrong with the motherboard last time! Anyways, that's besides the point, but the fact that I've had conversations with Christian and he never mentioned any fees and is now trying to charge is insane to me He then said that it's because it was their work and that it's in their policy to charge for a fee. Told him to send me their policy then and NOTHING! Tech was rude as well. Told me to call Christian myself, fine I did. I ended up merging the call so Christian can talk to the tech himself and he refuse and said he'll call the tech??? AND THEN HE DIDNT??? So then I had to tell the tech that Christian said we don't have to pay the service fee today and the tech got mad and said "THIS ISNT RIGHT!" you think it's right if I charge you for a fee you never agreed to??? DOUBT YOU'D PAY IT EITHER, SIR!!! The fact that Christian didn't want to talk to the tech himself spoke volumes when we were already on the phone together... BEWARE!!! RESPONSE: Digging your own grave here buddy because your response has pissed me off. 1. You did not call the tech, nor did you waive the fee on the spot. We were on a MERGED call, I told you to talk to the tech and you said you'd call him yourself even though we were on the phone together??? WEIRD! Keep in mind people, I kept asking him why he can't just talk to the tech on the call and he REFUSED to 2. I HAD TO TELL THE TECH TO LEAVE BECAUSE YOU DIDNT CALL HIM RIGHT AWAY!!! He was standing at our freakin house, do you not think that I have eyes to see that he's NOT on the phone and wasn't leaving until I TOLD HIM TO??? 3. YOU DID NOT WAIVE THE FEE ON THE SPOT!!! You said, and I quote: "you do not have to pay the fee FOR NOW, but you can talk to my manager about it tomorrow" which now that I think about it, is kind of strange since it says you're the BUSINESS OWNER on here 4. You explained the policy once you already had the tech try to bill me... maybe explain the policy BEFORE when I asked you if there would be fees??? You literally could have said "services will be based on inspection but there will be a $45 fee for the tech to come out no matter what" but did you? NOPE! So try to explain all you want but the texts are there. You can explain your policy as calmly as you'd like, but if you're telling me after the fact and trying to bill be when you should have told me BEFORE then that's the point? I even told you to send me your policy and you didn't soooo.... You could literally be like "oh the fee is $150" and expect me to pay because it's "policy"?! No way. Btw you took the call, said you had to talk to a manager, DIDNT CALL ME BACK I HAD TO CALL YOU BACK. 5. Yeah I said ALMOST got scammed. If money was collected and services were forced then I wouldn't have said ALMOST... smh... And I didn't get scammed because I refused to pay and had to lay down the law with you. I literally had to ask you if this was a scam or fraud and that's when you got scared and said "ok you don't have to pay FOR NOW" so this is not without basis. thank you very much. AND AGAIN, YOU DID NOT WAIVE THE FEE ON THE SPOT!!! Don't lie, it's not a good look 6. Anyone who reads this, keep in mind he NEVER said he was waiving the fee until AFTER this review because on the call he kept saying no fee for now and go talk to his manager... so take that as you will 7. He tried to text me to talk to him, but after I didn't respond he posts his response here LOL! Digging your own grave here even though you were in the wrong. NOTICE HOW HE STILL NEVER APOLOGIZED IN HIS RESPONSE??? Apologize and move on

Awesome way to start a morning, BTW. Thankfully I had my phone and was able to do a quick Yelp search and found Secure LA. The reviews don't really talk about them fixing lock outs, but I figured I'd try and gave them a call. It was around 8am and I was afraid no one would answer (you know, business hours and all) but thankfully, Nick did! He said he could be there in about an hour (~9:15) and that it would be $75. I wasn't thrilled about the wait or the cost, but honestly, what else could I do? I'm glad I called Nick, though, because he showed up right on time (after calling to tell me he was on his way, then that he was outside) and got right to work. He didn't have his full lock-picking kit on him, so another guy Ernesto joined shortly after. Nick wasn't able to pick the lock initially (using his mini-set of tools) but then neither was Ernesto, even with more tools. After traditional lock picking didn't work, they then tried a few other things... something with a piece of paper (?) along the door crevice... then banging a key into the key hole trying to get it to move... I'm not exactly sure what they were doing, but they tried a lot of things for ~30 minutes and at that point, Nick said they had to just take off the door knob entirely and would replace it for $25. NOTE: Nick said that usually they can pick most doors within 5-10 minutes... but something about my lock made it really different and difficult. I was a little disappointed that they weren't able to pick my lock (so you know, I could eat breakfast, feed my dog, go to work...) but at the same time, strangely relieved to know the lock was so secure. I actually needed a few key copies anyway, so they did that in their van while Nick "rang me up" (wrote an invoice and took my check). Total cost: $110 for the lock out, new door knob, and 4 key copies. More than I had expected to spend that morning (considering I shouldn't have forgotten my key and gotten locked out in the first place) but all things considered, really friendly service, quick to come to my rescue, and they got the job done and I was on my way to work by around 10:15. Lesson #1: Don't get locked out. Lesson #2: If you do get locked out, call Nick.

He seemed to understand the locks that were installed (ll part of new construction) and got to work dismantling everything. It then took him quite a while to re-key and put back two of the standard locks. The third lock (which is a digital smart lock) seemed to baffle him. He consulted with his office first, then pulled up an instruction manual on his phone to figure out how the lock worked. Eventually he got the lock re-keyed and everything worked fine afterwards. The service was not inexpensive. First there is a $45 service call fee which is credited towards the cost of the job if you choose to hire them. Second, the total cost for the three locks was $547, which seemed steep to me but then I've not used locksmith services in a while so maybe that is the going rate.
