Al was such a true professional. He was very transparent about everything from scheduling to completion. It is very hard to find a trustworthy mechanic but I have found one and would highly recommend. He offered a fair price and high quality work. read more

Tims Mobile Mechanix - Oil pan replacement on 2008 Civic Si - Auto Repair Near Me

My car needed a new alternator. ALEX came over and replaced it. He took less than an hour (red flag). He told me that it had a one year warranty and that I could call him if needed. So I called him 2 days ago and not only does he ignore my calls, he blocked my number. The alternator that he used was an aftermarket one and he swore up and down that it was OEM. I took my car to another mechanic and he showed me that I got ripped off and what an OEM looks like compared to an aftermarket one! I already filed my complaint with the BBB. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Fuck you mother fucker! read more

Never calls back even when your vehicle breaks down. Thanks for nothing Good luck And best endeavors! read more

Not a good experience unfortunately today. I was surprised at the annoyed tone after only a couple short minutes on the phone discussing the potential job. He then got rude to me when I tried to clarify a couple things, making a derogatory comment (to the customer), and then abruptly said "I think I'm just going to pass on this one". It wasn't even about prices or quotes or travel distance, nothing of that sort. I've been in business and customer service for 20 years and the customer should not feel or be handled that way. If you did want to end the call, for whatever reason, there are polite ways of doing that without being rude and dismissive. And by the way, this is the only negative review I have ever posted on Yelp, just to make that point. read more

Tim saved my ass on a Saturday when all other shops were closed. My starter on my 04 Accord crapped out on me but this guy came to the rescue and had me up and running in under an hour. He has the expertise and tools to do most repairs, and really offers a great value when considering the convenience and quality of work provided. If it wasn't for him, I would of had to get my car towed from my house to the shop on Monday, because the AAA guy told me once I shut off my car I wouldn't be able to get it started again (this is after we got the car to start after 50+ tries). Instead, I just took the car straight to Tim. Now I'm glad I did. He saved me a grip of $$$$$ too!!! Go to this dude, he'll take care of ya! read more

Tims Mobile Mechanix - Homie is puttin in work on them rotors! These guys are great and so damn chill. Best mechanics around for sure. - Auto Repair Near Me

Wrote about this amazing pair on my blog. http://content-creation-media.blogspot.com/2015/02/tims-mobile-mechanix.html Here's the last paragraph. "They are very nice guys, the type of guys you want to give more business to because you like them. They were also very nice to my wife and answered her questions In my book, how you treat people is equally important as to how you fix cars. In the past the national tire company repair stores have shown a tremendous amount of disrespect to our citizens (of Chino Hills) and now we are finding other means to getting our cars fixed. The end result for my car is that it runs significantly better. Performance was getting eaten away little by little over the past few years. Now it's all back, and I am a happy camper!" read more

Tims Mobile Mechanix - Johnny on the left, Tim on the right - Auto Repair Near Me

These guys are great, I should have left a review sooner! They answer the phone quickly and were out the next day. My car wasn't starting, so having them fix it from my own driveway was a huge convenience. There is a slight premium for the convenience factor BUT prices are still reasonable and they are honest - they won't charge you for anything you don't need. I'm saving their number and would happily recommend them to all of my friends. read more

Needed a water pump for my car so I contacted these guys, made an appointment for today ...After waiting 45 mins for this dude to show he finally text this: Hi Terrence, sorry but something came up, were closing business, sorry for any inconvenience we caused. Happy Holidays Their no longer in "business" !!! read more

Tim is young, immature and is not committed to customer service, customer loyalty or the integrity of his business. Rather than use fluorescent dye and a black light to determine the true source of a leak, he guessed "based on my driveway" and guessed wrong. He could have won my business for a lifetime by stepping up and making this right but opted to cut his losses and get cocky with me and move on to his next job. This appears to be a common thread with his other bad Yelp reviews, read them all carefully with special attention to his replies as well. I should have paid closer attention. I went with this company because of all of the positive reviews and great overall rating. I should have paid closer attention to the negative reviews and Tim's comments in reply to them. I called Tim for a sudden leak in a vehicle I've had for several years. He gave me a diagnosis of a trans pan gasket leak. He gave a $200 quote for a trans flush, gasket and new filter screen. Upon completion, he said I also have a small leak at my power steering pump, but in the next days, I could see my original leak was unchanged. When I told him it was still leaking the same, that the original leak was unchanged, he offered to change the power steering pump and flush for an additional $240. I explained that his diagnosis of the trans pan had to be a misdiagnosis and that the $200 I paid had no effect on the original leak. He offered to replace the pump for $40 plus the cost of the part. He was not willing to admit it was a wrong diagnosis, that my van had more than one leak. I was willing to accept the cost of the parts and fluid on the trans pan job, though it was not the problem I needed fixed, and was willing to pay for the new power steering pump. I said I called him for a leak, I paid $200 for his expertise to fix it, and it was unchanged. I made the analogy that if I was a roofer, and he called me about a leak, I charged him $200 but the leak was unchanged, how could I expect to charge more for labor to repair the original leak? At this point he decided he did not want to do business with me anymore with this message: "No disrespect but you called me, a licensed professional. And this is how the business goes you cannot be 100% sure 100% of the time then I would be smarter than Einstein. Therefore you cannot compare roofing to auto mechanics the principles are not as simple, so please don't try and justify a something that you do not understand that is why you called me. I made a diagnosis and that's what I believed what was leaking and then I had mentioned that your power steering is also leaking. We need time to see if the leaking has continued. So that's when you call us back because the problem persisted, and we fix it for what it cost, we need customer feedback to help us diagnose better. To be 100% honest with you, I would respectfully prefer not to do business with you anymore" It doesn't take an "Einstein" to take appropriate steps, like use of fluorescent dye and a black light to determine the true source of a leak, to eliminate guessing and ensure a job done right the first time. If he is wrong, based on my experience and those of the negative Yelp reviews, he will simply choose not to do business with you and move on. read more

Anyone drives a car better than a toyota is not welcomed here. Tim will not give you a fair price, or they will cancel your appointment with some stupid excuses, because he doesn't like anyone drives a better car than his. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!!!! read more

I don't usually write reviews here on Yelp. But Tims Mobile Mechanix really impressed me. My car suddenly stopped working on my way home from work. The car's engine was shaking and would shut down every 3 minutes. Most of the shops around my work were already closed. So I gave Tim a call and after 30 minutes, Tim was there and started diagnosing my car's problem. He said one of my coils we're bad, spark plugs and had a coolant hose leak. Luckily autozone was still open so we had a chance to grab the parts we needed to get the car running again. After a couple of hours wrenching and fixing Tim and Johnny changed my coil, spark plugs and the coolant hose leak. Got home safely and car working perfectly. I'm really impressed with Tim's and Johnny's work. - Professional - On time - Fast - Knowledgeable - Experienced - Have the right tools I will definitely recommend them to anyone and will give them a call again if I have a problem with any of my cars. Keep up the great work Tim and Johnny! read more

My car started overheating and my Air Conditioner was not running very well. All bad things for my car especially considering the time of year. After reading all the positive reviews, I decided to give Tims Mobile Mechanix a try. I am glad I did. After diagnosing my car, Tim found that the radiator and AC fan motors on my car were worn out and replaced them for a reasonable price. My car is running nicely now. Tim is punctual, professional, and knowledgeable. Best of all, Tim is trustworthy. I am glad to have found a mechanic I can rely upon to work on my cars. read more

My muffler came loose while I was driving over a speed bump. The muffler was dragging under the car and caused loud noises. The car was undriveable. Found Tim on Yelp & gave him a call to schedule an appointment. He arrived early and diagnosed the problem. He used a wire hanger to attach the muffler to the car which alleviated most of the noise it was causing, made the car driveable and referred a local mechanic that welds not too far away. My call was considered a local service call & because he thought he really didn't have anything to fix he did not charge me a service call fee. Thanks Tim your the best stress reliever a stranded motorist can hope for. I hope I will not need your services again, but if I do, I will give you a call! Quick, knowledgeable, efficient and honest. Thanks. read more

I have had Tim work on my car twice and loved the service. I have had my brakes done, oil change, my left mirror replaced, scratches buffed out, and other services. Tim is always willing to answer questions and he's always honest. He is also friendly and works fast but efficient. I would highly recommend Tim for any car issue you may have! read more

Texted and call numerous times to try to get work done on my car, never responded and was able to have another mobile mechanic complete the repairs. read more

Tim is my go to guy when I have any automotive needs, he specializes in all sorts of makes and models and is upfront and direct with his pricing and time frame. Always tries to make himself available to each customer and able to thoroughly explain the repair and usually comes around with the lowest cost. He's mobile , reliable and my go to guy for anything car related now! Thanks Tim ! read more

Definitely one of the best & honest mechanics I have ever worked with. Two of our cars had different issues (CX-9 & Passat). Called around to get price quotes and appointments at different shops, what a mistake that was!! I had forgotten how shady most auto shops can be. With that said, I Yelped mobile mechanics and Tims Mobile Mechanix came up as one of the first, pretty much all 5-star reviews, so I gave them a call to ask about quotes and when they would be able to do a diagnostic. Johnny with Tims Mobile Mechanix answered and was very easy to coordinate with, very friendly, and laid back but clearly very knowledgeable at his task. He talked me through all the steps and truly made everything much easier to understand. Best of all he wasn't interested in charging me more than I needed to spend. He got both of my cars running again very quickly, and even fixed my long-time stuck windows! Crazy reasonable prices for high quality service. I will definitely be recommending and consulting Johnny with Tims Mobile Mechanix in the future. Thanks for the awesome job and for being one of the few honest mechanics out there, you are definitely a CHAMP!! read more

Tim is a stand up guy. He showed up 15 minutes before my appointment very polite and courteous. I had the front rotors & brakes replaced also the oil changed. Tim did an awesome job, my truck runs nice and smooth and stops on a dime. I will highly recommend Tim to anyone I truly trusted Tim with working on my truck. Thanks Tim read more

I had an appointment w/ Tim at noon to change my serpentine belt and my transmission fluids (drain & fill) for my '07 scion tc. I have to say, Tim was very professional. He was on time and managed to finish the job in 30 minutes! He also gave helpful information on my car (what to keep an eye on, when to change parts, etc.) I wouldn't hesitate to give him a call the next time! read more

Tim's mobile service has always been good to us. We have had several services done like replacing headlights on our cars, replacing the motor on our automatic window, checking out our Lexus to see why it would die. I heard they have an Auto Detail shop in Gardena, so he sends Alex to do his calls Thank hou t¯gTkm read more

I recently got my oil change done. I was running late so i changed my appointment 12 pm to 1 pm. Tim was very friendly and very cooperative. Got home at 1:10pm he was waiting for me with a smile. He got the oil change done within 10 ~ 15mins!! Super fast! Car runs good and i am very happy with his service! I strongly recommend!!!! read more

this is a long overdue review but better late then never! so my husband has been using Tim's Mobile Mechanix for a couple of years now and he has always been satisfied. Recently, my van broke down (coolant leak) and I was stuck on the side of the road. Called my husband and he advised me to call Tim since he was too far to come help me. After calling Tim, he gaveme a eta of 30mins, he and his partner Johnny arrived 3mins before the timeframe he gave me! wow! so 45 mins later (they went to a local auto shop to pick up parts my engine needed, he and Johnny had my van running again. sooo relieved! and the total cost? $60!!! this guy is awesome. will continue using this business for as long as i can. *tip* they dont take card yet so cash or check for now. i didnt have a check or cash on me so i sent them a check on my phone through online Bill Pay. read more

Tims Mobile Mechanix - tim fixing my coolant leak - Auto Repair Near Me

This is my first time here. They r very nice and friendly. Their schedules were all booked but still willing to help me do oil change, especially they found out I'm going to Big Bear Lake tomorrow. While they r doing the oil change, they even helped me check up on other fluids, and fix the squeaking noise (one of the belt was loose) make sure my car is ready to go!!!! Awesome guys, if anyone need help with their car, should definitely call these guys up!!!! read more

Honest. Convenient. Affordable. Trustworthy... are just a few words that I would put next to this company! Being a mom to a toddler, I always look for ways to simplify my daily tasks so I could spend more time with my son and make it convenient for us to run errands. Tims Mobile Mechanix solved just that with offering their auto services mobile. We had an oil change done on two cars while my son was peacefully sleeping in his bed and during his nap time :) (oh well... if you are a parent, you would understand the significance of a good nap for your child :))) ) Anyways, Johny was our technician. He came even a little ahead of his appointment. Was very professional and left no mess after doing the oil change. The price is really affordable and I would totally trust them to service our cars if need to. Just to sum it up.... this service of course is great for everyone, but from my point of view as a mom, it is an excellent option for parents so you don't have to drag your kids to an auto service place and impatiently wait until the car is ready while trying to entertain your kids and keep sanity :) read more

I don't think this guy is licensed. He had to come back 5 times for his own mistakes. Each time he was more than 2 hours late for the appointment, never even letting me know nor apologized for making me wait. He tried to convince me the car was fixed when in reality the car wasn't safe to drive at all. I risked my own life trusting this "mechanic." My car wasn't drivable for over a month until I finally went to another mechanic. It was very stressful dealing with this mechanic, and it was a complete waste of time. read more

Johnny was awesome. He came earlier than the appointment time. He was straight forward and honest. He diagnosed the issue and let me know what the problem was. He gave me an estimate and got to work right away. He picked up the parts too and all was done around an hour. Real knowledgeable and honest guy. Nice guy and would definitely call him again for service. I would recommend them to my friends and others. Thanks Johnny! read more

Alex helped me out in a tough spot and got me what I needed right on time. Great guy and great job.

This guy is great. I was having an electrical problem with my truck and I looked him up on yelp and had good reviews. I called him at 330 pm and he was here before 530 and had the problem fixed within minutes. And since it took no time to fix it, he didn't even charge me! On top of that he replaced a missing bolt on my radiator brace. I will definitely use Tim again. read more

These guys are the best. They set a appointment, show up on time & tell you exactly what you need. No BS with great prices on labor. I give these guy the highest rating possible. read more

I don't know where to begin. I just want to say WOW!!!!! Tim is amazing and if you don't use him you are really missing out. I had a issue with my Honda civic. Many calls to my dealer and other mechanics who were Quoting me huge prices to come out or tow it (not to mention listening to automated operators to get directed to the right dept) Tim answered right away and he knew right away what it was. He came right out no BS or cheesy talk about what went wrong. He fixed it immediately and everything was all good. I didn't get his assistants name but he was just as amazing From now on I will keep him on my phone. The dealer would have charged me an arm and a leg. I don't even think this review does him justice. But I hope it helps someone else ... Btw. It was also a Sunday. read more

Meet Tim this morning to do a pre-buy inspection on a truck I was looking at purchasing. All was looking great until he dug a little deeper into the motor and found out it most likely had a leaking head gasket. Saved me from buying a truck with serious issues, I would have never caught right away. Was on time, super easy to communicate with and did a great job. Thanks Tim! read more

Our daughter was referred to Times Mobile Mechanix to get her brakes done and they where very affordable and they where professional and courteous. They fix other minor problems at no additional cost. We then needed our brake pads replaced and called them back. We also experienced the outstanding customer service they provide and we were very pleased with their work. We highly recommend them !!! read more

Monday morning I started my car and went to put it in reverse and could not get it out of park. Not a good start to the day. Did some checking online and everything pointed to the shift interlock latch was broken. Called a few placed to explain the situation and was told I needed to bring the car in so they could check it out further. Fearing of getting hosed for a large repair bill I held off and checked Yelp to see if I could find an honest and reliable mechanic. Saw Tim's Mobile Mechanix and the 20 plus positive reviews. I am one who is skeptical of the reviews in that these could be friends just helping out, but when I saw the high number of positive reviews I decided to give Tim a call. Called Tim and explained the situation. He had me check on thing first and after telling him the results he was pretty certain the issue is what I expected, the shift interlock latch had to be replaced. I was able to order the part and have it delivered on Tuesday so I set an appointment with Tim for Wednesday at 12pm. I wasn't going to be home but my wife was. She said he was very nice, on time, and about an hour later called and told me everything was set. Total labor cost = $40. Add to the cost of the part ($35) and I paid as much as I would have paid for one hour of labor at any other shop. In the end I am very impressed with my first dealings with Tim's Mobile Mechanix and would recommend him anytime. Finally an honest mechanic. Keep up the great work!! read more

My mom is a new immigrant and can't speak English, she got a flat tire today on the freeway and Johnny happen to drive by and saw what happened, he stopped his car right away and changed her tire in less than 5 minutes, he then just left without charging us, my mom was so grateful she literally cried. I just want to say to Johnny that I am saving your number and I definitely will recommend you to all my friends. Thank you so much for your random act of kindness toward a stranger. read more

If I have to sum up my review on Tim's Mobile Mechanix I would have to say "On time, great service, reasonable price." The Car Problem: I had a bad alternator that was overcharging my car battery. Tried to do it myself but didn't have the right tools for it so I gave Tim a call and scheduled the work the next morning. Tim and his co-worker Johnny arrived right on time (around 10am) and got out the bad alternator and replaced it with a new one within 45min. My car is running great again thankfully! See the convenience with this service is that they come to you. It saved me the hassle of towing my car, going to a repair shop, and waiting at a boring waiting room for hours. I don't normally write reviews on yelp or anywhere at all but it seems like I owe it to these guys for doing such a great job. I made my yelp account today just to write this review and hope people will read this because I highly recommend Tim's Mobile Mechanix. This is a small independent business that I'd like to see succeed. You definitely have my business Tim! read more

Johnny and Tim are simply awesome. Johnny went over and beyond my expectations fixing the alternator on my car. The alternator was stuck and it took him longer than expected to take it out but he never lost his composure with the car or me. I would give Johnny 10 stars if I could. I recommend them highly! read more

I highly recommend Tim's Mobile Mechanix for your car troubles. What I first noticed was how personable Tim and his staff were when they came to my house. They are easy to talk to and you get a feel that they are experts at what they do. I also liked that they were on time, arriving before the scheduled appointment. As far as the work done, it was finished quickly and it was a quality job. If you think a Mobile Mechanic might be more expensive, it's not true. Tim's Mechanix were cheaper than any quote or estimate I had received and they come to you. You can't go wrong here. I will be using Tim's again in the future. Totally satisfied right now. read more

BEWARE!!! After reading the reviews here at YELP, I thought I found a gold mine. So I called Tim an made an appt right away, the time and date was set. Then after an hour of waiting I got worried maybe he got lost or something happened to him. So I texted and called his cell phone, just to find out what happened, no answer back. Just communicate please and don't leave a potential customer hanging. You can at least say, you're busy, you can deny service, something, anything, so that customers are not left to make their own conclusion to what kind of a mechanic you are. If there's a "0" star that's what I will give Tim's Mechanic. I still trust YELP because I went to another mechanic that had good reviews by YELP and I am satisfied! read more

Just used Tim's service today and I highly recommend it. Called another mobile mechanic first for my van and the guy sounded half asleep, at 10am! He said it would cost a fee just to come out and take a look at it then an additional fee for the repairs. I called Tim and he was here by 11:20 and finished by 11:45. Total charge was less than what the other guy was charging just to come out, and a lot less than going to an actual mechanic. Efficient, cheap and got the job done. Can't ask for anything else from a mobile service. read more

I got a check Engine light on my sons car. Went in to my local Autozone and had it diagnosed. They printed out my codes, I bought the parts they recommended.

No B.S. they finished up showed me the used parts they cleaned up there mess and Check Engine light went away!! Definitely will call back for future business!! Thank you read more
