Showed up a bit early, which was great! Got the job done quick and right. Will hire again for sure!

I broke down and I got on my phone and requested service. Thaer from Pinata Miata, immediately responded, knew the issue, found the price of a replacement part, gave me a quote all within minutes. The next day while I was at work, he came to the house and fixed my car for a very good price. Thanks again for coming through! -Kevin K read more

Was looking for someone to do a pre-purchase inspection of a car for my daughter. From the first phone conversation Ted showed his competency with knowledge and customer service skills. Answering several calls and texts with questions. We met Ted at the sellers house for the inspection and he treated the process as if it was his money being spent to purchase the car.He was very thorough, pointed out several things on the car that were concerns and gave his professional recommendation. I greatly appreciate Ted and would 100% hire him in the future. read more

Highly recommend using Pinata Miata for any of your car services. They were definitely the best price around not to mention the convenience of mobile service. I will definitely be using in the future if needed. read more

My 2003 Mazda Miata overheated for the first time since I've owned her. I had to call Pinata Miata because of the name. I mean come on! Thaer showed up and explained everything to me in a reasonable, thoughtful manner so that I understood that he would fix each thing until we got to the problem. He gave me the prices for the parts and labor for each thing as we went. Fortunately, it was the radiator and the fan. His prices are great. The service was timely and thank goodness I didn't blow the engine trying to get home! I highly recommend Pinata Miata. I have been cheated by many mechanics or simply asked not to bring my car back to some of them because of the parts. He was positive and calming after so much stress. Give him a call!! read more

I had a great experience with Thaer. He really cares about his work and his customers. He did a complete brakes job on my range rover. He showed up on time, had the best prices compared to other quotes I got. Also he is mobile! Way more convenient than going to a shop! read more

Called me right away and helped me diagnose the problem. Came out same day and fixed me up quick.

I am thoroughly impressed by the young man. Responded quickly quoted a very reasonable estimate. Couldn't come because of some personal business but communicated throughout, came the next morning at 6:30 and was done by 8 AM. Highly recommend. read more

Thaer was awesome. He was quick, friendly, & provided tremendous value for the service requested. Highly recommend!

Started a project on Yelp for my dad who initially needed his alternator replaced (diagnosed elsewhere) and Thaer responded quickly. Thaer came prepared and was friendly and honest the whole time. Thaer identified that my dad's car issue was actually the tension belt and was able to assist further. I really appreciate Thaer making time to follow up the next day with my dad to finish fixing his car. Thaer's estimated project cost was much more reasonable than the ones we received from dealerships, Pep Boys, and Jiffy Lube. We loved how Thaer offers mobile services in the area as well. My dad has been looking for a new mechanic he can trust, and he's already looking to reach out to Thaer for another project as well as recommending him to his friends. read more

We requested a quote and within minutes we had a call with an estimate. He jumped into action and picked up the part and was at our home in just an hour or so, ready to install. Super friendly, honest, and knowledgable. Ultimately it cost even less than expected. Wonderful service at a very reasonable price. We will absolutely work with Pinata Miata again. Thank you! read more

I definitely found my new mechanic. I can't say enough on how professional and educated Thaer was with my service. He came to my work at 7am and changed my back brake bars in less than 20 mins. He advised me in other services I needed to keep my car maintained which I was so appreciative of because I want to keep my car in the best shape. I give him 10 stars read more

So very glad I found Ted on Yelp. He provided quick service and completely fixed the brakes issue for us. He is very knowledgeable and provided both new brake pads and rotors for the front and rear of our car. His pricing was reasonable. I am going to continue to use his services for maintenance on my car. So convenient, he comes to us. Ted also inspected the car and told us of things that needed service and the order that they needed repair in order for us to budget our funds. Great service. Thank you Ted. L read more

See all

****WARNING **** DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THIS YOUNG MAN LIKE I WAS THE FIRST TIME‼ Works out of his garage at his house doesn't have a lift , or the proper tools to do the jobs he takes on. Always wants to be paid in cash and does not give you a receipt only a estimate with a balance owed. I told him to redo it he did, but the next one he sent said customer request service to be done and customer requested to use their supplied parts. That is completely false and fraudulent. I have all supporting text messages to prove it! Anyone can leave me their email and I'll be more than happy to send them to you , so you don't make a very costly mistake like I did. Every time I got my car back from him something else was wrong, and it made a noise that I never made before. He should've never attempted to do my suspension work again I have proof and videos. When I got the car back, it made loud crickety crack any brittle sound noises embarrassingly loud you didn't want anyone in your car with you. He installed parts wrong, and couldn't complete the job and referred me to another mechanic who is wonderful. That was when I found out he did not use OEM parts like he assured me that he did and that he did not put in the parts properly. He will talk and come off very knowledgeable and very capable but he's just a young guy using your cars for experience . My car is my lifeline and I trusted him with it after spending $3630 my cars shocks axles and belt, all the things he tried to fix and charged me for , are still making a brittle creaky crackly noise and the belt sounds like a chicken. Again, anybody who wants proof of these accusations comment or leave the email, I can provide them I expect a very well written response from him to this review denying the accusations , but he can't when there's proof. read more

I would never trust anyone else to work on my Porsche. Quality work, professional presentation, convenient service, and done with integrity. It's damn near impossible to find an honest mechanic these days, especially when you drive a Porsche. They just want to upcharge you because they think you have money, that was not the case here. Prices were excellent, especially considering the quality of work. read more

Thaer did an amazing job installing lowering springs on my Audi. He is a true professional and got the job done in the comfort of my own home. I have definitely found my new go-to mechanic. Would highly recommend! read more

Thaer is a highly skilled and honest mechanic with the flexibility to work on your car from your home. I called him about a weird noise coming from my 2010 Toyota Corolla and he came by my house later that day to diagnose my car. He was able to tell me exactly what I needed and things that I could put off for a while. The source of the noise was coming from my alternator, which he replaced on the same day. I went ahead with the other services he recommended due to the age and mileage of my car, like replacing the head gasket, water pump and radiator. Pricing was very fair. My car is running a lot better than it has in years. Highly recommend Piñata Miata! read more

Thaer was a pleasure to work with. He is knowledgeable, professional, and his prices are reasonable. I sent a request for a quote to repair the brakes on my Porsche on Sunday evening. He responded at 4:00am Monday. We touched base, agreed on a price and he was at my house by 3:00pm the same day. He was clean with his work and my brakes work great! I highly recommend him!! read more

Super knowledgeable! Very kind and reliable. I would hire him in the future for any mechanical problem. Thank you for your professionalism!

A mechanic had suggested that I get both my front and rear pads replaced. However, when Pinata checked them, I didn't need the rears replaced at all. So, he installed new front brakes. He was on time and was done at the estimated time as well. It was great experience and will definitely use again. Also, a plus that he's a mobile mechanic. Thanks :) read more

Great service! Outstanding work. I have found a very good mechanic . Very nice young man! Outstanding work and ethics.
