Finding an honest mechanic is hard enough, but finding one that comes to you is a game-changer. Sam and Aiden did a fantastic job replacing the front and rear rotors and pads on my 2016 Land Rover LR4. A few things that stood out: * Convenience: They performed the entire service right at my house. * Fair Pricing: Their quote was significantly better than other local shops and mechanics I checked. * Transparency: Sam (the lead mechanic) is incredibly professional and reasonable. Instead of just demanding a list of repairs, he gave me actual options and worked with me on the best path forward. No upselling, just honest advice. It's rare to find technicians who don't try to pad the bill. I'll definitely be reaching out to Sam for any future projects. Highly recommended! read more

What a convenience to be able to have someone come out and service my car at the house. Sam was the first to respond out of seven other business, and the price was fair considering the current fuel costs. A few places I drove around to scope parking were sparse, and their lots were full which is why I looked to mobile services. I got my oil changed, and so far so good. I will likely look to him and his staff for future services. read more

After my first experience with Sam, it was an easy decision to call him again when my 1998 Toyota 4Runner needed more work. This time around, I opted to get around to replacing the valve covers due to a crack near one of the bolts. Along with that, Sam took care of the PCV valve, grommet, and hose, and also identified that all of my belts needed replacement. Once again, his responsiveness, professionalism, and transparency stood out. He clearly explained what needed to be done and why, which gave me confidence in the work being performed. What continues to impress me is the consistency, fair pricing, efficient turnaround, and most importantly, high-quality workmanship. It's one thing to have a good first experience, but it's another to deliver the same level of service repeatedly. At this point, Sam has earned my trust as my go-to mechanic. If you're looking for reliable, honest, and skilled automotive work, I highly recommend him. read more

Sam and Aiden came by to pick where I left off on swapping out the Boost Pressure Valve Vacuum Regulating Assy on my 2017 Lexus IS200T. It was a tricky spot to navigate but he and Aiden together did great and no more winding up noise on acceleration and deceleration. Here's the best part, after that was completed they could've left to their next appt, but instead they helped me diagnose another code which lead me to a misfire from a burnt ignition coil for no extra cost. Now with 4 OEM coils installed my car is back to running perfect again ! ! ! . . . Keep these guys' number on your phone ! ! ! . . . read more

Very through in his inspection! Great communication in diagnosis and on time. I recommend this mobile mechanic and will be using them again.

Sam and his team were great to work with! I was in the market for a first time car for my 16 year old daughter. Our budget only allowed for used vehicles many of which had salvaged titles so I definitely wanted the peace of mind of having a professional do a proper pre purchase inspection. Sam came to the used car lot I was in on very short notice and inspected 2 vehicles I was interested in. They did a thorough check looking at the engine, alternator, brakes, body, etc. He gave me his recommendation and it definitely helped me confidently make my decision. I would definitely recommend his services! read more

I would highly recommend Sam's auto doctor. AAA came out and diagnose my car as having an expensive electrical problem. I called Sam's, they came out right away and gave me the correct diagnosis. It was just the battery. He purchased the battery and the whole process was quick and very reasonably priced. I stayed in my condo, and he texted me when the job was done. So convenient. I will definitely use this company in the future. read more

Sam is not only great but honest. Now and days it's hard to find honest and hard working individuals. I called Sam, because my F250 check engine light came on. When I put my scanner a P0290 came up. My turbo had a leak or needed a new one. I called Sam, and within a couple of hours came he had to perform his own diagnoses and I had a leak. Sam ordered the part and replaced it. My car was up and running. The real test was as that same week I took it to Ensenada and it ran just perfect. If you want an honest and fair price, I highly recommend Sam. Thank you, Sam. read more

I contacted Sam for a pre-purchase inspection, unfortunately due to delays and complications with the car dealer-ship, I already purchased the car a day prior to the inspection, but I still wanted to ensure my new car, a 2020 Chrysler Pacifica didn't have any major issues or big upcoming repairs. Sam arrived on time at my house, he is super friendly, professional and very knowledgable. He checked out my car, gave me valuable recommendation for the future, what parts I should get changed out soon and we did a test drive together.

Super fast service. Reached out to Sam a few weeks ago when I was waiting for my pads and wear sensor. Finally got them in and he got me into the schedule. His technician, Aidan, came out and did a superb job getting my brake pads done. Had a nice chat with Aidan regarding BMWs and off he went! Thank you Sam and Aidan! read more

Thank you Sam! He came out to me the same day and took care of the issue with my car. He also recommended other things that a regular car dealer couldn't even help me with. I definitely recommend. read more

Great service, great communication, outstanding deal for someone who comes to your door and fixes your notoriously complicated car. read more

Sam did an amazing job of getting my car to start. He was able to diagnose the issue quickly and replace the broken parts. I highly recommend him for timely and affordable service!! Thank you!! read more

Called Sam last night because I had an emergency issue and he and Aidan were able to come out first thing this morning. The location was pretty difficult to get to, but Sam still made the effort and got the job done without any problems. The price was exteremly fair and you can tell he really knows what he's doing. He was professional, straightforward and worked efficiently. It's hard to find mechanics you can trust, but these guys were great. Really appreciate the help from Sam and Aidan. I would definitely recommend them if you need a solid, reliable mechanic. read more

It was a stressful morning, couldn't figure out what was wrong with my car. Sam looked at everything, tried a few things, and quickly analyzed everything well, diagnosed it & fixed it right away, in a concise manner. He then showed me what needed to be replaced and answered all my questions. I'm skeptical about most people but he delivered. My morning turned around. It was a fair $100 spent. read more

Not impressed, better options out there. From the beginning he was very difficult to reach, communication was the worst. Service was eventually completed but not without issues which were never addressed. A very unfortunate experience, lesson learned. read more

I have an old 2006 BMW 330i. I love the car, but it has not been running right for a few years now. Sam came out to my house and was immediately able to spot multiple issues. Another mechanic must have left the Mass Airflow Sensor unplugged, because Sam immediately noticed it and plugged it back in. He also identified the VANOS solenoids were stuck, and the PCV valve was bad. He came back a day later to do the VANOS cleaning, and also diagnosed the footwell module that was causing my reverse lights not to work. I stayed with him the whole time, and learned a lot in the process. His prices were very reasonable, and now my car is idling smoothly, and the fuel economy has improved from 13.5 back to 22.0 mpg. Once we do the remaining repairs, I hope it gets even better. I highly recommend him, especially to BMW owners! read more

Sam's auto! This service is amazing! I've had them help me out twice now and both times they have been extremely accommodating!!! My first experience was on Super Bowl Sunday, I had some issues with my daily driver and NEEDED it checked out. Even though they had a full day they managed to stop by and help me out. Same day repair and got this girl back on the road within couple hours!!! Life saver! I was so happy with the service that I gave a call again earlier this week and set up a time for them to stop by. The service is friendly and top notch! My boyfriend and I are not originally from here (the navy brought us to SD) so finding quality, reliable, and honest service is hard when you don't know the city well. 100000% recommend! read more
