I have a bumper that needed to be replaced and Josh was someone that came highly recommended so I asked him to take a look at it. He checked it out and said he could do it and asked for $1021 to order parts. I gave him the money but then he never ordered the right parts. I asked for my money back but he still owes me about $300. I've been patient waiting months for him to refund me the full amount I gave him but he keeps saying he'll send the rest but never has. This is a warning to everyone that wants to hire him DO NOT trust him with your money or you'll be stuck chasing after him like I am. read more

I met Josh and started using his services some 10 years ago for my daughters cars. I had lost touch for a while and decided to look him up again. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much his business had grown and how successful his company has gotten. I called and he was able to fit me in and did a complete brake job in my garage for a fraction of what I was quoted elsewhere. He has always been honest and never tried to sell me more than I need. He checked several other items on my car as well. One of the best benefits of using Parker's is that you can continue being productive while the work is being done. I didn't have to hassle with dropping off my car, arranging rides and being without my vehicle all day. He came to my house on time and it took less than two hours while I was able to do other things inside. Truthfully, I put off needed repairs simply because of the hassle factor. I highly recommend Parker's. read more

Josh was awesome! He came to my home, diagnosed the problem, went and got the parts and had the car fixed in less than 2 hours! He was polite, respectful and knowledgeable and his price is very reasonable! Wait! It gets better! A few days after he fixed my car, we got a thank you note in the mail! That is A+ customer service in my book! I highly recommend Parker's Auto Care! read more

Like Alan T, I paid Josh close to $800 for a part he said he would order and then come back and replace. That was three months ago. I've politely called and texted repeatedly, and while on occasion Josh responds and even makes appointments to return, he has no showed every time. Honestly, to be ripped off so blatantly by a business person has been a shock to me. If you choose this mechanic, do NOT pay him up front for anything unless you are prepared to kiss your money goodbye. read more

caused my transmission to go out and caused over 3000$ in damaged then decided to ghost me and not answer calls or msgs

Josh has worked on my vehicles 4 times over the past 3 years and has always done a wonderful job. He diagnoses the mechanical problems and makes the necessary repairs quickly and and efficiently. I am not exactly a mechanical whiz so I wouldn't have know the difference-- he was honest about what needed to be done and what didn't. Convenience combined with good prices--what's not to like. He's a busy guy but worth waiting for. John--Fair Oaks read more

Parker's Auto Care provided excellent service yet again. This is the 2nd time I've used their services. My check engine light was on and I needed to get my 2000 Explorer smogged for registration renewal. Called Josh and he came out and diagnosed it accurately, ordered parts and got it fixed. It passed smog on first try after his repairs! Josh is a super skilled mechanic at a great price. Note: Be patient if he doesn't get back to you right away via phone or text. He is a mobile mechanic, and doesn't have office/admin support. His skill and customer service is worth the wait. It might take a day before he gets back to you, but if you can be patient his work is outstanding. Happy customer! read more

My car was having intermittent starting issues and was stalling at low speed. I requested a quote from Josh Friday evening and he responded Saturday morning with availability that afternoon. He arrived on time and quickly diagnosed the problem - dirty throttle plate. He cleaned it and problem fixed within 1/2 hour! So relieved that it was not a bigger problem -- other mechanics or dealers might have started with the most expensive fix first. He also does pre-inspection for used car purchases. I will definitely use Josh's services again in the future! read more

I was pleasantly surprised at how fast and economical Josh's brake repair went on my Toyota. Awesome!

Very pleased! Josh is professional and knowledge. He was on time. He diegnosed the problem and was able to take care of it in my own garage. I'll definitely be using him in the future. read more

Josh doesn't stand behind his work he doesn't show up on time or not at all asked him to come back to do a repair on a job that he did incorrectly failed to show up stood me up and put me off and then when he finally set an appointment with me had me wait hours for him and then still never showed up had to take it somewhere else to get fixed asked him to return the money I paid him he said he would never did . He is undependable unprofessional not reliable untruthful I have to work for a living this guy has me waiting around for hours on end for him no consideration of my time and that I have to work just like he does he has cost me time and money read more

This review is a month overdue. Josh has worked on my vehicle twice in that time. I found Josh online, and received a very prompt response. I reached out to him one morning after my driver side power window gave out on me while driving. Sounded like a bag of rocks hit my door when I tried to roll it down. Within a couple of texts, he knew what the issue was, and after getting a quote for the parts and labor (still, all via text. Quick and efficient.) I had an appointment set for the next day at my house to do the work. The rate for the work was so awesome, that I had him do my front brakes AND fix an exhaust leak (catalytic converter gasket) all in the same visit. All this done in one morning appointment, before lunch, for less than a shop would have charged for any one of the repairs. Fast forward to this week, and I again needed a repair for an issue that had left me stranded and needing a tow home. While i was waiting for the tow, I already had my appointment with Josh for two days later. Again, this repair trip included another item I added on the spot, and all is awesome. Josh is quick, honest, fair, and worth so much more than whatever he might quote for any given job. I plan on using Parker's Auto Care for all my routine and emergency auto repairs. You should do the same. read more

At first I was skeptical of mobile mechanics until I met Josh he came out and diagnose the problem and I was up and running the next morning as promised I feel Josh was a man of his word and he made a Believer out of me good work Josh!!! read more

I left a text for Josh of Parker's Auto Care, after getting 2 other quotes, and he got a hold of me right away, gave me a quote that was less than 50% of the others, and had a date that he could schedule me in for. I was very impressed with his work and how quickly he finished replacing my heater core,(2 1/2 hours less than what the Big Boys quoted me there labor time would be!!!). I made another appointment with Josh to work on my wife's car next. Brian R. Sacramento read more

I'd give Josh negative stars if I could. Total nightmare costing me thousands of dollars and even more headache! He started my head gasket repair in early December, later in the month than he originally quoted me, which by itself would have been fine, but continued to make excuses about why he couldn't come finish it for weeks, then finally finished it and I drove it less than 5 miles before the head gasket blew again. He then took weeks to get started on fixing it again and then kept making excuses for why he couldn't be there every day to work on it. Literally did not have my car for over 2 months (during Christmas time, New Years, both my kids birthdays, ect.). Once finally fixed the check engine light was still on so took it to another mechanic to have all of it checked and was told that there was a part that still needs to he replaced that Josh should have known when he determined it was a head gasket and had I known then, would have been better to just get a new engine. Texted Josh and he admitted he should have noticed it and that he learned a lot doing my repair. Then head my engine completely blow up, while waiting for the other shop I was using to get in the part, my engine blew up even though I had just checked and refilled oil right before driving and had only driven 10 miles. Then had to have my engine replaced by the new shop and waited a week for the engine to arrive so having another week without a car. Texted Josh who said he would figure out about refunding me for what I paid him and then over next couple of months, continued to periodically ask what the status was and he always had an excuse. Tried to tell him even small regular payments were better than nothing but that he really needed to pay me back what I paid him at least since I also paid close to a $1000 on Lyfts and rentals in those two months. He has since stopped replying. So frustrating to have to now take him to small claims court. Unless you want to chance having your car held hostage on your driveway and throwing $ down the drain, DON'T use Josh Parker. read more

I would recommend Parker's to my family and friends for sure! I am so thankful they were able to come to my place of employment and fix my issue on the spot. The gentleman was clean cut, professional, and very articulate. His quote was on the dot and even nicely pointed out a small leak I didn't know I even had. We all have had poor interactions with mechanics but I feel comfortable with Parker's! Peace of mind is priceless. By coming to my place of employment, being on time, being friendly and knowledgeable, and being trustworthy certainly has provided me with peace of mind. read more

Called Josh from Roseville Nextdoor app search for brake repair. He gave me an estimate to repair my 2009 Honda CRV brake pads and rotors and it was very reasonable. He came out the same day and was done in an hour. Soft spoken, professional and efficient. read more

This guy is great! Comes to your place while you work. Gets everything done. Most importantly he is honest. I will come back if I need any more work done. read more

Josh was very professional and helpful when I called for an estimate to replace the ac compressor in my Toyota Corolla. He helped me with any questions I had and was very reasonable with his price. He offered to come to my house the next day and went around my schedule. When he came out, he kept me updated along the way and was finished with job within a few hours (which is fast for the job required). My ac is now working perfectly and I'm very glad to have had Josh come out to do the job! I would definitely recommend him and would definitely come back if/when I need any more work done. read more

My alternator went out so naturally I called all the nearest auto shops to ask for rates and they all wanted to charge me dang near more than my car is worth! I've heard of mobile mechanics but have always been skeptical because you really don't know what or who you're getting. I decided to try it out and found Josh on Craigslist! After our phone conversation I could feel that he was legit and that I was going to be able to trust him. Within an hour of calling him he came to my house with part in hand and he changed it in 15 minutes as I was in the comfort of my own home. His work is also under a year warranty! Which is awesome. Professional and fast service and I will recommend him to all my friends and family. He changed my mind on the skeptics and he is to be trusted! Thank you Josh! read more

Early on a Monday morning after class my brakes went out. I contacted Josh & he asked me a max of 3 questions (great cuz i know nothing) and was at my house in less then 30min with all parts in hand. He noticed i was missing a bolt on my brakes that was MUCH NEEDED & went out of his way to drive back to the car store and purchase the bolt, free of charge. He changed my brakes in less then 20min. So for labor, parts and replacing a missing part I payed close to nothing. Couldn't have asked for a better mechanic!!!! + hes mobile! Thank You so Much Mr.Parker!!!!!!! read more

Josh is professional and honest. He always does a great job and is very thorough. He has always fixed my car and done a great job.

My go to brakes guy. Always get the job done in a timely manner. No squeaks. Great price.

I needed quick repair. I searched Craigslist amd found Parkers. I contacted him via text and received a quick response + quote. He was able to repair my vehicle the following day. I forgot to purchase some of the parts & he took the time to make a trip to pick them up for me (I was not there during the repair- I was at work). I always appreciate great customer service. read more

Parker's Auto Care did not disappoint. About a month ago, I had to replace my timing belt, water pump, serpetine belt, and the various tensioners/pulleys for routine 180k mile maintenance along with a performance crank pulley on my 7th gen (2003-2007) Honda Accord V6. I had originally intended to do it myself so I purchased all the necessary parts but at the last minute I chickened out because I had never done a timing belt replacement before and I was not confident in my own DIY skills. Josh from Parker's Auto Care is the pro to call. Prior to contacting Josh, I had called various local shops, other mobile "mechanics" (hacks/amateurs) on Craigslist/OfferUp, and I was starting to feel like doing it myself would be better than letting some unsure phony touch my car. When I asked one OfferUp "mechanic" how much he charged to do the job, his actual response, was an e-mail that read and I quote "I don't have a light". How is that relevant, you bad-excuse phony? Another Craigslist "automotive technician", quoted me basically stealership prices and "8 hrs to almost 2 days" to do the job. I guess he would probably need to watch the same youtube DIY videos I had watched to learn how to do the job? Josh is not like those guys. He's an absolute pro. Genuinely nice guy, seems trustworthy and he obviously knows his stuff as he's been doing this for years. Timing belt for a Honda/Acura J-series engines? It's a layup to him. He is the seasoned, hardworking dude you are looking for. Not to mention he communicates with his customers well. He informed me that he was going to arrive a little late as a prior job had taken him a little longer than he had expected, which happens from time to time, especially with mobile basically on-demand businesses like this. Other people I have done business with have shown up late with no communication as to what was going on. He provides absolutely fair prices with honest high quality work. I asked if I could watch him work, as I wanted to learn, and he was basically having a casual conversation with me about what he was doing as he promptly knocked out the job within 2 and a half hours. Arrived at 10AM, gone before 12:30. Aside the fact that he is a Sacramento Kings fan, there is nothing negative I can say about him, his work, and his business. I will be giving my business to him in the future if and when I need it. Thanks Josh. read more
