Extremely unprofessional and Rip-off shop... When you refer to Grease Monkey mechanics, this people are the absolute true definition guess work game and Grease Monkey mechanics.... 1st and last time visiting this shop and not recommending them at all. read more

I gave Sean a call to get a Humvee started that he previously worked on. He initially seemed like a nice, upstanding, and knowledgeable guy. I'll even tell you that he was able to solve my problem. I'm selling the Humvee for a friend, and after I was unable to get it started one day my friend suggested that I call Sean. Sean's Mobile Auto Tech was the last company to service the Humvee. So I gave Sean a call and set up a date and time for him to work on the Humvee. There were a few hit and missed appointments (due to both parties) but we were finally able to get his mechanic over to do the job. Prior to his arrival, I mentioned that I could not get the Humvee started but the batteries had a voltage readout of 23.6. The Humvee has not one but two batteries and I charged each battery separately the night before but still was unable to get the Humvee started. This is a demilitarized Humvee so I just assumed that I was doing something wrong with the start sequence. Sean told me that he had already purchased batteries prior to the appointment, and I immediately asked him if he felt that was the issue. His reply was, "if we need them I'll replace them if not I can return them." I was like, "oh okay." I too am a car guy and thought to myself well these batteries are holding a charge so I know that's not the issue. Once Sean's mechanic got the Humvee started, Sean gives me a call to let me know that the batteries were bad and had to be replaced and to discuss how much I owed him. He reads the prices to me and my jaw was floored but I kept my composure and just asked him to text me a copy of the invoice. I immediately forwarded it to my friend and he was a bit in disbelief himself. He immediately asked me to take the batteries that were pulled out and have them tested. He also mentions that most batteries have a 1-year warranty on them. He asked me to get the serial numbers off of the batteries and call the manufacturer to check to see if they are still covered under warranty. After our conversation, I called Sean back and asked him if the batteries were left at the warehouse where the Humvee is being stored. He told me that he had them at his shop and was going to turn them in as cores. (basically, trade in the bad batteries to get a credit for the new batteries that were purchased.) I informed him that I wanted to pick up the batteries the very next day. He replied that he could have them tested. I said, "we would prefer to have our own guys test them. He simply replied, "OK but that doesn't make any sense." Maybe not to him but to us it made a world of sense. The very next day I arrive at his shop and ask him for the batteries and he tells me that he sent them off to be tested. I was like ok, but I told you that I was coming out here to pick them up so that I could have them tested. I no other choice but to await his diagnosis. (which he has already claimed to have tested and told me that the batteries were no good. They were bad using his exact words. ) Sean calls me back about 2-3 hours later and updates me. He says, " Marc, the batteries have been tested and are good!" I was like I thought so because I told you that I put a voltage meter on them prior to your mechanic working on the car. I ask, "so how much do I owe you now?" He does the math subtracting the cost of the batteries but now adding the cost of driving back to the truck and swapping the batteries back out. At this point, I'm appalled that he would even form his mouth to try and charge me for an initial false diagnosis. Now remember in all this I'm just a middle man trying to get this Humvee running for my good friend. So I feel that my stance is fairly neutral. I told Sean that if he was going to charge us to reinstall the batteries I would just do it myself. It didn't make any sense to charge us for something that your mechanic misdiagnosed. He really didn't seem to understand that part about customer service. We got off the phone and he ended up sending one of his guys to the location where the Humvee was being stored. It's at warehouse and he would have to be buzzed in with permission to access the Humvee. My friend and I felt that Sean and or his mechanic were being fraudulent and deceptive. So he would not allow Sean on to the property without someone accompanying him and he would have to replace the batteries back free of charge. We agree to pay him for getting it started and his first mobile fee, but that wasn't what he wanted to hear. We immediately turned from being his client to you "MuthaFuxkas." He called us every name you could think of on the phone hung up on us said that he would call the cops... and he did. Kept calling me back even after telling me to lose his number. He went from nice and trustworthy to irate and incohesive in a matter of hours. If a battery isn't starting you test it first before telling your client that they are bad. Oh and not to mention they were still under a 6-month warranty. Shame on you! read more

I had just bought the car two days before it broke down on me in the rain he had a tow truck come out and worked with me on the price hes great highly reccommended read more

I just noticed "ensure" was auto corrected to "enuresis"... That was a mistake, but funny none the less. Still a 5 star guy!

Pride in your work. That is sorely missing in this town. Sean is a master auto tech with Valley realistic prices. If I had unlimited funds to fix my car, I'd still take it to Sean. He's legit. Confidence in the work is a massive deal. You will walk away you spent the dough which is a new one for me. Only thing...once the secret is out...it's gonna suck ass cuz he's going to be more busy than he already is. read more

As one of the previous reviews said, it is extremely difficult to find an honest, transparent mechanic with great customer service in LA. I found Sean here on Yelp and am so grateful for it. After an attempted home repair job gone wrong, I learned weeks later that my transmission fluid was leaking. I had a long road trip planned the next day, and in a panic, called Sean at 7pm hoping he could help. Although he was booked for the night, he got me in first thing in the morning. Sean diagnosed the problem, bought the part and fluid, and even checked my oil within 2 hours for an amazing price. His customer service stands out from the minute you book an appointment-- he sends you a confirmation and check in text, provides a realistic quote, keeps you looped in throughout the repair, and stays mindful of the time and the wait. Endless thanks to Sean for making time ASAP, and for making sure my car was safe to drive before the trip. If you don't have a go-to mechanic yet (and hey, even if you do) Sean's your guy. read more

I've been searching for a good, honest mechanic. Now my search has ended. I found Sean on Yelp and read the reviews from his customers. Those reviews are spot on. I made an appointment with him for a Saturday morning. He replaced my timing belt, water pump, spark plugs and cables. He worked with me on the price and he did a fantastic job. Poor guy worked all day on this job and stayed true to his estimate. I have finally found a mechanic that I can trust. If you are looking for a solid mechanic that you can trust and won't screw you over, this is your man. You won't be disappointed. read more

Wonderful service! They fixed my oil leak within 40 minutes and gave me reasonable prices!

Gotta hand it Sean. For a young business owner who also happens to be the sole mechanic of his own shop, I was able to not only book an appointment, a diagnostic, and had the necessary part ordered/installed in all of TWO DAYS. Yup. Had an issue with the shifter on my 1998 BMW 3 Series fixed for $100 bucks!!! Gotta say, I've been to all kinds of mechanics, all over the country, and this is hands down the quickest, cheapest, and most pleasant experience I've ever had when it comes to having my car fixed. As far as the quality of the work, I drove from LA to San Francisco literally 15 minutes after picking up the car. Got here in one piece, and so did the transmission! Thanks again Sean, and great work!!! Highly recommended. read more

So, Sean is awesome! Would absolutely recommend him and he's my new go-to mechanic. Wednesday: I took my car in to my regular mechanic. Told him my car was making a funny sound. He looked at it, said no big deal. It's drive able, and there were no real issues. Some stuff I'd have to consider doing in the future, but nothing yet. He changed the oil and said I could pick the car up. Thursday: That weird noise is still there, but the car is running fine. Go to Petco, park my car, and after I buy some dog food for my fat, hairy corgi (name is Pogo), the darn car won't start. I was looking around for places that were open at 6:30 pm, his was the only one close to me. So I called Sean, and he said bring it on by. From what I described he said it sounds like the alternator, but he'll look at it the next day. He asked where I lived and even offered to give me a ride back home. Super cool dude! We had a good talk in the car on his way to drop me off. Friday: Gives me a call and let's me know that it was the alternator. Gave me a cost, which was ridiculously affordable, and a few hours later the car was ready to be picked up. Great mechanic. Very nice guy. Hopefully don't have to use him often, but if I need to, I know he's really good. read more

Can't expect anything better than this place! For fast, efficient, and honest service! Sean and Joe helped me, both were extremely knowledgeable and friendly, explained clearly all about my cars needs, and the parts they replaced. They were very clear about what was urgently needed, and future issues that could be put off for a while. They also explained what dealerships usually charge double for! All expenses were clearly explained, these guys really know what they're doing. 5stars!!! read more

Sean is a great guy and a good mechanic, he's honest and doesn't extort people like other shops. He gets the job done and gets it done right, not Mickey mouse work. Definitely a shop to bring your vehicle. read more

Sean's Auto Care - Making sure the job is done right. - Auto Repair Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Awesome experience! Sean (the owner) is very helpful and professional and is definitely willing to work with you to help meet your needs.

I have not had the chance to personally meet him, but from the moment I called his office the receptionist/front desk was very helpful. They promised he would call me back as soon as he got back, and he did. He gave me a quote, and my husband and I felt very comfortable going with him. We are located in SD, my husband was out of town and we needed a last minute RV inspection for the same day. He worked well with the dealer who sold us the RV. He was also very understanding when I couldn't get our paypal to work and I told him that we would take him a check the next day since we were driving up there anyways for a walk around. (So I will be meeting him tomorrow). He made us feel very comfortable even though were about 2.5 hours away. I would recommend to give him a call! read more

Professional,gentleman and so fast..... The boss is young,I asked him some questions abouth car and I find he learnd more than I had tought... Thanke you guy.... read more

My car's air conditioning has been busted for about two years. I took it in and I needed the compressor, the receiver drier, and the condenser replaced. Sean gave me the option to just replace the compressor, but we went with all the replacements. He talked me through the process and kept me updated. Wonderful customer service. read more

This is probably the best mobile auto tech shop in the entire valley. After my first encounter with, Sean I felt like we had been friends for years. He is the most trustworthy, sincere and happy go lucky mechanic I've ever met. My 2007 Subaru outback had a myriad of problems that I didn't know about but could tell it wasn't driving right. Sean's top priority from the beginning was getting my car in sound working order so that it was safe for my family and I. My car drives great now and he did it at a very low price. Subarus can be harder to work on than others, but Sean had the courteous and technical know how to walk me through my various issues in layman terms. Sean truly cares about his customers which is rare to find these days. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs work done to their car!!! read more

When our brand new scooter was shipped to the house it came 90% assembled. We needed someone to help with the last 10% + give the scooter an oil change. I called around and none of the mobile mechanic companies could provide this service. Thankfully I found Sean who said they could absolutely help. They came to the house early in the morning and took care of everything. I highly recommend Sean and his team for any sort of automotive work you need done. Very timely communication and trustworthy guys. Thanks, Sean and team! read more

Absolutely the best mechanic I've ever dealt with! My 2005 Honda Civic died on me while I was driving it (fun, right?). A quick Google search led me to believe that it was my alternator. The tow truck company that brought me back home, also said it was alternator. I need my car for work, so I was focused on finding a good mechanic for a good price. After a couple of Google searches, I came across Sean's information...and I'm so grateful that I did. After a couple of emails and text messages to coordinate me dropping my car off, I got my car towed to Sean's shop. After inspecting my car, he told me that it was my alternator, but I also had a power steering pump leak, which might've caused the alternator to go out. Sean also fixed an oil leak that I had been dealing with for a while (that was supposed to be fixed by another mechanic). Amazing customer service, really good at explaining what went wrong and how to fix it, and reasonable pricing. I will definitely be returning to Sean for all of my car's needs. read more

Sean and his team are honest, reliable, and experienced. I was looking to rebuild and replace the entire suspension on our 2005 Toyota Camry, because the engine is still running strong with years of longevity ahead. I priced out a couple of places, but decided to bring it to Sean's Auto Care. I'm glad I did, because Sean suggested options that would save me time and money. Sean's Auto Care did a fantastic job with the suspension replacement; It feels like I'm driving a new car! He even helped me out by giving me 2 free used tires, to replace the one's that were about to fall apart! Anyhow, Sean's Auto Care is our new mechanic in the Valley! If you're looking for Quality and Honesty, stop by and say hello! read more

Great shop to come to. My work schedule isn't very flexible and he was able to stay a bit later for me. Very reasonable in price for parts and for labor he was able to get the parts I needed same day. car was in and out of the shop next day. read more

I've been going to Sean for years. He is super reliable, honest, and kind. And he knows his way around a car. You literally couldn't ask for better in a mechanic. read more

I bought a 1996 Honda Accord from Sean 3 years ago and I have not wanted to or needed to go to a single other mechanic to touch it since. From regular maintenance to major repairs, Sean is all you and your car needs. Not only is Sean one of the most trustworthy people to put your car in the hands of but he truly cares about his customers and is extremely knowledgeable about his craft. He has gone above and beyond to keep my car running at 100% the past 3 years even after an insurance company deemed it a total loss after a hydroplaning accident. With the level of service, prices, and results, I can't imagine needing to go elsewhere. Thank you for everything, Sean! read more

I needed immediate help for a 1960 corvette I just got and even though I called last second on a super busy day sean came out to help!!! Super professional and super thoughtful. Really appreciate that there are people like this in the world ! I couldn't have the car towed so he's really a life saver. read more

Sean's Auto Care - Thanks for the help !!!! - Auto Repair Near Me - Van Nuys, California

They were nice and prompt with my situation. Really like this place! I called last minute and although he couldn't come to me. He asked questions through the entire process and was very nice. Definitely recommend! read more

I paid Sean's Auto Care for a pre-purchase inspection of a used car while I was out of state. Relying on a garage of mechanics I had never met from 2000 miles away was a daunting task, but as soon as Brenna answered the phone at Sean's Auto Care, I knew I was in good hands. The people working here are professional, insightful, and diligent. My mechanic, Erik, took the time to discuss my potential purchase point by point over multiple phone calls lasting almost a half hour total. All of which took place after I had already paid. The first priority of my mechanic and all of the people working here was to make sure the work they were doing would help me in the most effective way. Thanks to Sean's Auto Care, I avoided a disaster buying from a dishonest and untrustworthy dealership nearby. The simple $200 investment with Sean's Auto Care saved me over $5,000. In the end I was disappointed when my time working with them came to end. I can't recommend them enough. read more

Sean's tech has great service did a pre-purchase inspection on a vehicle that I bought found some key issues before I purchased it and serviced it. Knowledgeable and professional. Not shady at all, and is taking care of his customers! 10/10 recommend. read more

Sean's Mobile Auto Tech gave us an amazing service ever for my Honda Civic. He gives honest opinions as to what we really need to do with my car and he is also very hands on with everything he does with his work. Truly, we could rate him a 10/10 and would recommend him to family and friends. thanks again, Sean! we appreciate you and your business! God bless you always. read more

Honestly one of the best auto repair shops I have ever been to. The mechanics triple check their work, they walked me through what needed to be done and then what they did after they fixed it, and were super transparent throughout the whole repair process. These guys are honest and running a great shop. Sean is super helpful and very understanding, he definitely makes you feel like you and your car specifically are their top priority! I would recommend them very highly to anyone needing any type of repairs or work done! read more

100% honesty, 100% integrity, 100% transparency. Based on the great reviews here on Yelp, I decided to give Sean a try and am happy to announce that he lives up to the hype! Sean will do everything he can to ensure that your car is running the best that it can be. His prices are reasonable, and he never charges you for work that he didn't do, even if his estimate was originally for more. This is a shining example of how to run an honest business! read more

Took my car out on a Thursday evening to the shop. Came back the next day and everything working perfectly. Haven't had any issues after it was simply explained to me every step of the way what Sean was going to do. Kept in contact as the repairs were being done. Highly recommend. read more

My experience with Sean's Mobile Auto Tech was great. Sean got back to me right away and was able to come over and help me get my 1982 Toyota Dolphin Mini Motorhome up and running after a very long hiatus. I reccommend Sean and his business wholeheartedly. read more

This was by far a gem of a discovery in the auto repair world. My best auto repair experience ever. Very meticulous with their work. Honest, fair and nice people to deal with. I had both my older Corvette worked on and my wife's Prius. Both a success ! I will continue to go here with both my cars that are now out of dealer warranty for sure. So hard to find good auto repair places but this was a score for sure ! read more

Sean is amazing!!! I was super stressed out because my car was running hot and had taken my car to 2 other shops before finding Sean (I did not trust those other mechanics, they gave me a bad vibe). Thank goodness for Yelpers giving accurate reviews. Sean is very honest and down to earth. When I called to tell him my car troubles he said bring the car in no problem, he could take it right away. I had to replace some radiator hoses. Sean also recommended some other work that needed to be done on the car. Sean and his team took care of everything and at a reasonable price. Sean and his team are fast and efficient. I'm grateful to have found Sean and I trust him with my car, which as you already know it's very hard to find a trustworthy mechanic, especially in LA. I will definitely be returning to Sean's Mobile Auto Tech for routine maintenance on my car. read more

Great mechanics, very affordable rates quick honest and friendly. Squeezed me in for a tune up, and gave a free full analysis of my ride, all repairs quotes were below the average, stoked to have a good local mechanic. read more

Extremely kind and trustworthy people working here. It didn't feel like they were trying to take advantage like a lot of other places. They made time for me on short notice and really helped me out. Great place run by great people. Highly recommend. read more

The only reason why I give Sean 5 stars is because that is all the system allows me to give, I would actually give him 10 stars on a 1-5 star scale. It is truly a blessing to find a mechanic as honest, hard working, resourceful and reasonable as Sean. He makes his money the old fashion way, he earns it. He did a lot of work for me on my suspension, brakes and alignment at half the cost of what I was quoted at another shop. If you think that what your mechanic or shop is quoting you is exorbitant, (then it probably is), take it to Sean to get a second opinion, you will be glad you did. Thanks Sean! Michael read more

I found Sean's Mobile auto service while looking for a mechanic to help me change out a cold air intake on my car. Just a quick thing that I needed a hand with before getting it smogged, and for some reason it proved very difficult to find a mechanic who would do it on relatively short notice. I got in touch with Sean and he got back to me quickly and was more than happy to help. What really made me appreciate his service was the second time I took my car back to him. I recently purchase a 2006 Mazda MX5 as a project car; I got it very inexpensively and knew the car would need some work that I couldn't do, like replacing the A/C compressor and some oil lines. Sean worked with my limited schedule to make sure that I could drop off and pick up my car on weekends, shopped around multiple suppliers to get the best deals on parts, and when he found partway through the work that my car needed a couple more parts he hadn't quoted me for, he bought them himself and didn't bill me. He seems like a super nice guy, and I couldn't be happier with the quality of his work. Even though it's about a forty minute drive to take my car to him, I will certainly be bringing my car back to Sean for any significant work that it needs. Huge thanks to him and would highly recommend his service to anyone who needs a mechanic. read more

I just found myself a new mechanic. Sean and hes staff were great. Went to get my torn alternator belt replaced. He reccomended to replace thee other belts since they were cracking. I did, and ge got me the belts at grrat prices. And the labot price was fair. I can tell by meeting him once that hes loyal and fair and wont screw you over likr other mechanics. I will definitely be bringing my car here. read more

So far so good! They are super nice and helpful! I'm here waiting to see what's wrong with my car. Hopefully I'll hear some good news.
