I discovered my car had a dead battery on Sat, 8/26. I subsequently found out it was so dead it…read morecouldn't even be jumped, so I was going to need a tow to the dealer's or a mobile mechanic since I don't have the tools to DIY. The car's a '19 Volkswagen GTI with a battery management system that requires the computer to be updated / coded with info from the new battery using special diagnostic hardware and software...it's high maintenance. I started searching online for a mobile mechanic Sat evening, sending quote requests to 5 mechanics. One mechanic never responded, one said they'd respond but never did, and two said they couldn't provide service (because of aforementioned battery system complexity). Jake replied on Sun and within 18 hours of when I initially sent the requests, and was then in regular contact on Yelp and via phone the next day collecting and exchanging info. He gave a reasonable quote, which included the battery at cost and plus a range based on his hourly rate (including travel time and labor). Mon (8/28) evening Jake bought and installed the battery, but wasn't able to do the recoding because his main diagnostic tool had been sent out to get updated, and his backups weren't compatible with my car. He promised to return to do the coding at no extra charge. He returned on Wed only to find that the Volkswagen car group had been removed from his updated diagnostic tool. He immediately bought the necessary hardware and a corresponding software subscription. On Fri 9/1, he returned to my house, updated the computer system with the new battery's info, cleared any battery-related diagnostics errors, and checked all other diagnostics to ensure everything was functioning properly. I know this is a long review, but I wanted to emphasize that this was not your normal battery replacement. Despite the complexity and challenges, Jake honored his commitment, completed the job, and went above and beyond. He is personable, professional, communicative, thorough, as well as obviously very knowledgeable about his trade. His actions matched his words and promises, demonstrating that he is honest, fair, trustworthy, and just a "good guy." He is definitely the person you want working on your vehicle/s. I would highly recommend Done Right Mobile Mechanics. Thanks, Jake!

The full review is in the pictures since I had too much to say and warn potential customers about…read more Jake claimed to take it to multiple suspension experts so they can all brainstorm together what should be done to fix the horrible wandering issue with my truck. He only requested that I pay for one of the technicians work to adjust my rear axle slightly (about $500) and that this was all for that other shop and nothing was being charged for himself. When I got my truck back that adjustment didn't do a thing to fix the issue. Then we both took the truck to another alignment shop and the technician there said he was positive the ball joints the previous mechanic installed were faulty or installed wrong. That alignment specialist specifically was adamant about the ball joints requiring to be replaced with stock ball joints and not aftermarket upgrades like they had done. I wanted to follow that specialist's recommendation but Jake said not to trust that specialist because he was, I quote, "a parts changer" and was just going to waste my money like the other mechanics and he said he wanted to do the job himself and not use that specialist to change the ball joints. When I kept hesitating to allow Jake to use aftermarket Ball joints he specifically told me that if those Dynatrack ball joints did not fix the issue, he would pay the the parts out of his pocket and replace them with OEM ball joints. So I went ahead and trusted him. The parts were replaced and he kept the truck for a week to drive around and wear the parts in because the wandering still wasn't going away. After that week he handed the truck back to me and the wandering was worse than ever. He also claimed that he wasn't charging me for the labor time he spent driving my truck to wear the parts in but that he would appreciate it if I would pay him $500 for the fuel he spent on it. This was prior to the diesel fuel spike so I figured it was still partially for his time because I myself can't spend $500 in a week in fuel towing with that truck daily. However not only was my truck still wandering very badly when he gave me the back but when I was hitching my trailer up to it a day or two later I realized that the brand new Banks tail assembly pipe that I had just installed on it a month ago was missing. When I called to ask about the pipe figuring they must have just somehow forgotten to put it back on he told me he would ask the other special technicians for it because they themselves never touched it or had it. Well he claimed that non of the other technicians from other shops would fess up to it so he would pay it out of his pocket and just forget about the $500 fuel charge he was charging me for. That brand new pipe cost me $550. At this point I had lost all trust. Now I started doing research on line on my own asking for help on social media on pages with people with the same trucks. I posted a video of the new track bar still flexing and they basically laughed at me accusing me of doing the improper work myself because the track bar was flexing due to it being installed UPSIDE DOWN. When I asked how I should fix it and that I paid someone to do it they gave me insertion how to fix it myself and told me to immediately fire that mechanic. Unfortunately it still didn't fix the wandering issue so I tried another local mechanic in town to try and hopefully fix the issue. That last mechanic basically shook his head and told me, and I quote "I feel sorry for you". I gave him the receipts of the work Jake had done and he told me I was basically being milked. This new mechanic took me into his shop while my truck was on the lift and showed me exactly what those new ball joints were doing to my wheels by trying to force the tires manually. He not only switched the ball joints for me fixing the wandering issue but he did it in half the time the Jake charged me for. Now if I was being purposely charged extra to be swindled or I was charged extra hours due to lack of experience, I will leave it up to the reader or the next unfortunate customer this happens to. Either way you look at it it still comes down to unethical practice since my work towing rig could inevitably cause harm to anyone in the vehicle as well as anyone around me on the road with the amount of horrible wandering and improperly installed parts it had. I have waited many weeks now for a response and for the promised reimbursement for improper installation and have not heard a word or response to my text message or voice message I left with his other shop technicians since now when I call he never happens to be available to talk. So at this point I don't expect any reimbursement for my loss. My only hope is that no one else receives the experience I have had and looses thousands in wasted money.
