I recently had a check engine light pop up on my 2001 Jeep Cherokee. I called Jon (on a Saturday at 4pm) and he said he'd be over in an hour to check it out. He was friendly, approachable and able to diagnose the issue within minutes of arrival. He answered all of my questions in a respectable and professional manner. I felt confident in his expertise and appreciated the transparency throughout the process. It's not every day you find a mechanic who goes above and beyond, especially on a weekend. He gave me a VERY fair price. He gets the parts and drives to your home/work. Worth every penny. I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Jon. I've decided that this will be my go-to mechanic for all future needs. If you're looking for reliable, prompt, and friendly service, I highly recommend giving him a call. Five stars well-deserved! read more

I was in need of an alternator replacement and had already purchased the part. I was looking around the area for quotes and some places wanted to charge me up to $470 for just labor. I found Jonatan on Yelp and gave him call, he quoted me a reasonable price and was at my door within an hour. He also told me there were other things I should get checked out on my car and went above and beyond to send me the number of a windshield replacement guy. I'm very pleased with his work and I will definitely be contacting him again. read more

I hired Jonathan to work on my 63 Thunderbird pull the engine out, freshen up the gaskets and reinstall the engine. During the reinstall, he had the engine at too much of an angle and cracked the transmission bell housing. Car sat a year and a half at a transmission shop waiting for a transmission because during the install the torque converter wasn't pushed back far enough and broke the front pump now that I have it back I had to put a new carburetor on it, got it running and have nothing but leaks everywhere in engine oil leaks at the gaskets coolant leaks everywhere didn't use any sealer in any of the bolts that go through the water jacket. When I tried to reach Jonathan to discuss him coming over and fixing his mess, he doesn't answer. My calls. Would not recommend this service whatsoever. Quality shit read more

Called this man up cause he was one of the only people on this list that actually answered or didn't send me to an automated voicemail, he picked right up. My girlfriends car was feeling weird when she was driving and she pulled into a grocery store to shop and got out and noticed her front driver tire was almost completely off the hub studs, she immediately called me and I got to her and tried doing it myself and couldn't get it done because I'm not to mechanically inclined & gave up. I looked up for mobile mechanics on Google and found Red Wolf, like I said he immediately answered the phone, not a voicemail or automated messaging system trying to set up an appointment unline everyone else i was trying, I quickly told him what had happened and that I bought a new hub assembly to put on, cause my girlfriends car tire was holding on with 1 stud and 1 lugnut(Thank whoever was looking over us), he went ahead and quoted me a price and basically headed my way immediately (a grocery store), I had all the parts needed, new lugs, new hub. He looks at it and tell me I think I can save you some money already, hammered out the broken studs, told me to go and buy 4 new studs across the street from advanced auto(again thank you whoever was looking over us)and he installed them in about 10 minutes, then said he could just put the new studs in my hub because it wasn't damaged or defective or anything & tells me I can take back my $60 hub assembly that I bought from oriellys and put the new studs in, put my tire back on & he even let me pay on a payment plan, had me put down about 75% of the quote and then is letting me pay the rest threw out the next couple of weeks. He did amazing work, very fast and efficient & ready to come to you. Couldn't thank him enough for what he did. I'd recommend him to anyone I know for a broken down problem and needs help in a pinch fast. His pricing was a little on the high side, but then again he saved me money with letting me not use the new hub. read more

I have a custom project I'm working on. Struggling to get my control arms in. Jon was able to make some time and squeeze me in a short notice. He was able to get one side done for me which I really needed to see it done. YouTube was not cutting it. He got one side installed with new isolators and made sure I was comfortable doing the other side myself. Very happy customer read more

100% recommend John's business, professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy and friendly. After my friend raved about his work I knew I had to give him a ring! He came out the same day contacted with no hassle. If anyone is looking for a mechanic, please contact John!! You won't regret it!! read more

I called Jonatan after looking up on Yelp and it was a bit of a stressful morning for me, I called him gave him the info he needed on the car. I found him to be a straight communicator from the first call and when he arrived. I was there with him during the repair, I was curious and he explained too being very personable but clear. I recommend him if you want a easier and smoother experience and your doubts answered with honesty and clarity. I found his price quote reasonable too. Highly recommend and hope he continues to be the same in future. Overall he gave me an impression of a repair guy you can trust implicitly. read more

Did excellent work on my honda crv he went above and beyond for me would definitely recommend

John from Red Wolf did an awesome job replacing my broken shocks! I called him on Friday afternoon and he was able to get the job done the next day. I was very happy with the service and will definitely use him again. read more

Would highly recommend, very good price and he gets the job done fast. Did my clutch job in only a day.

My girlfriends car broke down and he offered the quickest response with the best prices in the area. On top of offering the best prices and the soonest available time he got the job done within 15 mins of arriving I was very surprised. He saved me so much time, couldn't have been better! Will be returning!! read more

Need a moble machanic in simi and I found Red wolf yelp and a few other. He responded right away at 8 am and quoted me a fair price. Said he would show up at 10 am and sure enough on Time! Definitely recommend Red Wolf!!! read more

Nice guy, needed my car battery replaced late at night when most mechanics weren't available. He replaced my battery in a timely manner and was patient with me despite my late night request. Would definitely recommend to others read more

I was on my way to work this morning from Santa Clarita to Simi Valley when I noticed a weird smell coming from my car and my battery light turned on. I made it to work safe, but now I had to figure out what was wrong with my car. After some online searching, I came across Red Wolf Mobile Mechanic, and saw that he had really great reviews so I gave him a call. Jonathan answered all my questions and determined that it was the alternator that needed to be replaced on my 2008 Dodge Charger. He gave me the option of getting the part or letting me get my own part, which I usually always do and he gave me a great install price that I could not pass up. I got the new alternator about 12:15 PM, he showed up at 1 PM and was done by 1:30 PM same day! Jonathan knows what he's doing and did the job quick while I was at work. I already talked to him about doing some more work on my car and I highly recommend that if you have any car problems, just give him a call. Thanks, Jonathan. read more

John at Red Wolf has saved me so much money, Im incredibly grateful. Honda dealership told me I needed $4000 of work, which was more than the car was worth, but through Red Wolf I got a more honest assessment of the real repair issues, it only cost me 1/10 of what Honda dealership wanted to charge!!! A year later, the car's still doing great, Honda dealership was way overselling what needed repair. I've been to Red Wold a couple times, and I have a friend who's been using his service even longer. Very trustworthy. It's also amazing that he's mobile and can come to where I am, it's such a convenient service. read more

I called Jon last week to see if he could come out to replace my ignition switch. He got back to me the same day to confirm he was able to find a replacement ignition system for my older car and gave me a detailed quote to replace it. He was able to come out to my house the very next day to complete the service. He did a phenomenal job installing my new ignition system, while I got to hang out with his absolutely beautiful dog. He made the process so easy, and my ignition system is now working great! I can't recommend Jon more highly. He knows his stuff! read more

Fixed my husbands radiator the day we called him for a reasonable price! Super convenient service! Will use again! Highly recommend. read more

Jon was my first experience with a mechanic where I felt like I wasn't about to get ripped off. Ive had problems with my Toyota scion that no one could solve but he figured out the problem, worked with us on getting affordable but high quality parts, and fixed it right away. I will definitely be calling and referring him for all of my future car problems. read more

Jonatan did a great thorough job doing a new car inspection. He went above and beyond to give me detailed feedback back and photos on a vehicle that I would like to purchase but haven't seen. He was thoughtful, prompt and he has an eye for detail. He is also reasonable and honest. I would definitely recommend Red Wolf Mobile Mechanic. read more

The car just died after replacing battery. We were clueless on what to do next. Red Wolf Mobil was recommended so we gave him a call. He showed up in less than half hour and started trouble shooting. He was professional, affordable and an avid problem solver! I am happy to say car runs great now! Thank you John! Very pleased with your services! Highly recommend him! read more

Jonathan has saved me many times, I should have left a review a long time ago. Super helpful, affordable, and trustworthy!!

Jonathan was great. He came out promptly when my car started smoking in the parking lot at Kohls. He quickly diagnosed a blown o-ring. I called on Friday, but he couldn't get to me before Sunday, so I waited. He did what he said he would do and came in at the price he quoted. He was also good about explaining the work and making sure that I understood what was happening. I will not hesitate to call him in the future. read more

Jonathan was a total professional. Was informative about the work he was going to do. Gave additional guidance and advice if necessary. He wasn't pushy and was quick with the quotes and pricing. He was fast and has great communication. Most importantly he was very affordable. I am a customer forever and will recommend to others. read more

Jonathan was very thorough in inspecting our car for an upcoming trip. Very honest guy, gave some nice tips on how to keep rats from setting up shop in our engine bay. Highly recommend, he was very responsive on messaging him and he showed up when he said he would. We look forward to using him again soon. Thank you very much for helping us out! :-) read more

Jonatan did a brake job on my corolla for way less $$$ than a shop would have charged. I also had him change my alternator, transmission oil & ALWAYS go to him for my oil change since I work in Simi. He's cool & honest, he tells you what needs to be done without trying to sell you on BS service or parts. Of course it's also super convenient to have your mechanic come to you instead of having to drop off your car or tow it to the nearest shop! I highly recommend him! read more

Jonatan was great! I ordered wrong parts online, no problem.... he was able to go get me the correct parts within 20 min and do the complete install of new brakes and rotors on my Mini Cooper in under 2 hrs! I shopped and called around. This was the more affordable route vs. going to an auto shop. I will be using Jonatan for all my future auto needs. Thanks again man! read more

Amazing service. Was going to go to a brake shop but knew would be over $1000. Decided to try searching on craigslist and found Jon. Communication was fast and 30 minutes later my truck was being worked on. He evaluated the issues, got me up and running within an hour and cleaned up to leave with everything working perfectly. I cannot recommend enough the Red Wolf. I have three people already going to use this service instead of going to the over my expensive brick and mortar stores. For brakes. Which I had done, it cost me 75% less than I was quoted. Feel free to contact me as this is not a friend review .. this is exactly what happened. I am not a friend but I am for sure a repeat customer from now on. My first call is Red Wolf. Thank you for being such a great experience of quality without the store name. Your Brand will grow. read more

Well I found my new mechanic. He's fast and reasonable. So thankful! We had a malfunction on our 2001 Honda CRV. We don't want to put a lot of money into it. We had been trying to fix it ourselves to no avail but it was an easy fix for him, right in our driveway. In and out in 15 minutes! read more

Highly recommended! Diagnosed the problem quickly and just as quickly fixed it. Great price and service. Will definitely be calling Jonathan again. read more

Jonathan replaced my clutch today. He is a very skilled mechanic. I am so pleased with his work that I am having him return to perform some additional brakes and maintenance work. I highly recommended Jonathan for all of your automotive service needs. read more

Wow! Jonathan is fantastic. He got our vintage muscle car up and running for an appearance at a funeral. We were under such a time crunch and he made it all happen. Thanks Jonathan- you saved the day. read more

Talk about integrity, commitment and customer care!! Jonathan at Red Wolf Mobile Mechanic definitely displays all these qualities. I drove up to Simi for the day and wasn't able to get car my started back up to drive home. After a AAA tech and other mechanic check, it wasn't the battery, starter or sensors, and I was told I'd have to tow my car to a shop to replace the fuel pump. It was now about 6pm so I wouldn't make it home. Checked Yelp for local help and found Red Wolf open and listed with great reviews. Hopeful, I called and left a message. Received a return call from Jonathan within a few minutes. He asked some questions to confirm the issues and car details and started checking around for the fuel pump needed, called back and confirmed he had located the part and would be able to come by after picking it up. It was close to 7:30pm and he usually ends his business day at 8:00pm but he kept his word to get it done. Things were going well and about to wind up when he noticed he was handed the incorrect pump model... now 8:05pm, the auto parts store he initially went to JUST closed and the only other store that had the pump in stock was in Pacoima!! Instead of telling me he'd come back in the morning, Jon went to pick up the part. Above and beyond expectations for sure!! He promptly came back and got my car up and running again. It was now after 9:30pm and he remained polite and professional the entire time. Great job done with a great attitude and very fair pricing. Thank you, Jon! read more

Both rear window motors went out in my 15 year old Toyota. I called Jonathan and he ordered and installed in less than two days! He will come to your work, home or anywhere you need him. He was on time and finished in less than an hour. He completed the work for a third of the price I was quoted from a couple mechanic shops in the area. If you want to save time and money, this is the guy to call! read more

Finally found an honest mechanic. Called him to do brakes on my Lexus and he looked at it and said It was not needed. I also needed to have my Dodge Ram looked at because it started missing. It took him about 5 minutes to discover 2 rats had died on my intake manifold but ate the wiring on 3 injectors first. He went and got the parts including a serpentine belt and charged me such a low price I thought he made a mistake. He said he gave me the right price so I gave him a tip so not to feel guilty. read more
