My family and I just recently moved to Bartow, FL. My son bought a vehicle that started to have…read moreissues with a loud knocking sound in the top part of his motor. I found Master Mobile Auto Doctor by a google search (Unfortunately, I did not read the reviews). My son called and spoke with the gentlemen named Gene about what was going on with his truck, was quoted $105.00 per labor fee and scheduled to drop his truck off on Sunday, July 30, 2023. He left a note as to what he did to the truck and to call him before proceeding with any work. The next day, Monday, July 31, 2023, Gene, called my son and stated that his engine was not getting oil to the top end of the motor. My son mentioned that his sensor was broken for his oil. He asked permission to take the top manifold intake off. My son said OK. Later that day, he called my son back and asked him to come by his shop so he could show him something. My son proceeded to his shop. He asked my son, there is no way you took of the top end of your motor off (actually argued) my son said, Sir, I did the work myself with his friend (who was with him). Gene said OK. Then proceeds to tell my son his cam (rod that runs through motor) is bad, and he only has two options, rebuild or new motor. My son was like there is no way it's the motor, the motor is strong. It's not getting oil, that is the problem. Well, he needed a day to think about that total of a new motor or rebuild and to talk to other well-known mechanics (head mechanic at Ford). Showed him the pictures and videos of the cam and its normal wear and tear for a vehicle that is a 2000 and not bad. He called Gene the next day and said, I want you to put a new oil pump in it and go from there since the motor isn't getting oil. The guy said "I am not doing that" you only have those two options (rebuild or new motor). My son said then please leave as is and I will come get my truck. Gene said OK. The next day Tuesday, August 1, 2023, my son goes to the shop with my truck to pick up his truck. Gene says, who's truck is that? My son said, my mom's. He states, oh your mom lets you just hot rod in her truck. (Personally, that is none of this guy's business as to what my son is driving)! As my son was leaving with his truck in tow, Gene stops him and says, "if you put a new oil pump and new rob barring's you will have a good motor". To me that is a slap in the face!!! Did he not recall that my son stated to put a new oil pump in first thing Tuesday morning, and he said he would not do that. He didn't want to perform the easier work and wanted to get my son for a "new motor or rebuild motor"! Who does that? He slapped my son with a bill for 4hrs of labor at a rate of $125.00 and then threw another 3% credit card fee on top of it, total of almost $600 due to the 3% fee. Let's not mention his website states a flat rate of $100.00 labor fee and no mention of a credit card fee of 3%. Also, lets mention his illiterate wording on his invoice. If you read your invoice, it makes no sense (example: "CHACK OVER FOR LIFER NOSE PULL VAL COVERS O..." "FOND WATER PIP NOT BOLTE DOWN"). Do not use this guy! Now I got my son's truck back, the guy did move the motor again as the cam rod is not in same position and now there was oil in the top of the motor which was not there as of Monday night when my son last seen his vehicle and instructed Gene to not touch it anymore. Highly disgusted that an older man would try and rip off a child who is trying his best to get his truck fixed. Worst experience!!!!!!

For one, they don't know how to tighten bolts on oil pans and will leave your undercarriage covered in oil. Secondly, they'll lie right to your face and tell you some nonsense lie that has nothing to do with the issue because they can't own up to their mistakes. Went to get the bolt tightened on the oil pan that they left loose and they still didn't tighten it all the way. On top of that, they didn't top off our oil and put a filter in that we didn't need only to jam it into position causing more issues. Horrible service, I don't see how theyre up and running honestly.
