    I came in for the first time with my Uncle's recommendation and I'm glad I listened because I needed to get a couple of things repaired on my vehicle and the experience was great. The waiting area is comfortable and the bathroom is clean! Richard is honest and incredible at what he does. My car is doing very well and I will be back for future repairs! Thank you so much!

He was super respectful, explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, and didn't try to upsell me on anything I didn't need. You can tell he actually cares about doing a good job and helping customers, not just rushing people in and out. The whole visit was smooth, but his professionalism and attitude really stood out. If you go to Hitek Lube N Tune, definitely hope you get helped by him--he's the one that made the experience great. Highly recommend this shop because of him. Remember he's the youngest guy working there make sure you ask for him when you go next time.

    I used to love going here for my oil changes but as of recently, it seems a little shady. They used…read moreto pop open full synthetic quarts in front of you where I was sure i was getting full synthetic oil. Now, they have the full synthetic oil coming out of the reel (is it really full synthetic?) and now the price varies and is negotiable if you do not request a receipt. One time the guy told me it would be $100 with a receipt and can leave it to me for $70 without a receipt (huge price difference!). The next time a different guy told me it would be $80 without a receipt. I said the last time they charged me $70, the guy said ok I can do $70!! As if this wasn't weird enough, while in line I saw one guy charge a customer in front of me and slip a $20 bill into his pocket before taking the money to the cashier at the booth!

Super…read morechill , really careful with the work, and you can tell they actually care about what they're doing. They figured out the problem fast, kept me in the loop, and the AC is blowing cold again like brand new. I left feeling super satisfied and taken care of. If you need AC work done, this spot is solid. Definitely recommending them to friends.

    BEWARE: DISHONEST; WILL DESTROY YOUR WIRING TO TEMPORARILY "FIX" YOUR AC…read more I came in April 2023 looking for a trustworthy shop to fix my AC. It would go out intermittently and not blow cold air. The owner told me that it was a "simple relay issue" and presented my car back to me with it blowing ice cold air. He told me to keep the AC always on for the first couple of weeks just to help the airflow. Since that time, I continued to have issues where the AC would still go out and stop working. I also inherited more issues: cold vapor of air flowing through the vents even when AC is not turned on. White flakes sometimes came through, as if it was snowing in my car. Unfortunately, I did not have money to keep taking it back to get fixed, so I deal with it. Fast forward to 2026, I take my car to Seiko's auto shop in Monrovia to finally address the AC issue before another summer season hits. To my surprise, they let me know that the previous shop I took my car to (SWIFTGIRL AC AUTO) has completely jerryrigged the wiring. They had my AC compressor set to always be turned on even when it's not actually on (now the owner's "airflow" instruction makes sense!... load of BS!!) The temperature of the AC was reading as 15 degrees when normally should be at 40 degrees. This explains the cold vapor of air and snowflakes. It was so cold that it made an ice block in my car and prevented airflow from coming through. I had to pay thousands to get this problem diagnosed, re-do ALL the wiring that Swiftgirl messed up, and then pay more to finally get to the bottom of the original cause of the AC problem. DO NOT trust this shop!!!! If you don't know much about cars, they will not be the ones to do honest work! THEY WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU. They will purposely mess up your car and give you a temporary fix to make it seem like it's working just to take your money. Shame on this business and everyone associated with it. Anyone who has recently gotten their AC fixed by Swiftgirl, I HIGHLY recommend to take it somewhere else and double check your wiring before you end up with a bigger problem like I did.

    My engine light suddenly came on a few days ago and then the engine started to make a funny noise…read more Due to a combination of a crazy schedule and having been frustrated with my most recent experiences with local dealerships, I decided to try out Mobile Mechanic. It's one of the best decisions I have made this year. Will was able to come out with a day or so and run a diagnostics check, quickly locating the issue and showing me the results. He explained to me what the issue was, discussed options, gave me a full quote and a price - highly competitive. With me agreeing to what needed to be done, he ordered the part (Saturday) and came back the next day (Sunday) to install it. Incredibly helpful and so polite, he showed me the new part, walked me through what he was going to do and afterward even showed me the part he removed and explained the wear and why it was actually perfect timing. Within hours I was up and running again, good as new. I have NEVER had service like this from a dealership in all my years of being a car owner and driver (and that's several decades). Will also flagged other things that I needed to be aware of (including needing an oil change - which I will be getting him to come and do) but at no point pushed for me to do them there and then - zero pressure, just guidance. He repeatedly asked if I had any questions and was keen for me to understand what was happening and why - superb! He even cleared up the work area after he'd finished. Flawless. Aside from the convenience and Will just being an incredibly nice guy, his attention to detail and service are second to none. Friendly and knowledgable, he works hard to make sure you understand what he's doing, and is professional and polite at every step along the way. Will clearly cares and takes great pride in what he does. He's the only person I will be going to for my automotive service needs from now on. Highly recommended.
