DO NOT CALL ANY MOBILE MECHANIC OR RELATED COMPANY. AUTO REPAIR IN 2024 IS USUALLY A DIFFICULT PROCESS THAT REQUIRES A DECADE OF EXPERIENCE TO PROPERLY DIAGNOSE, FORMULATE A PROPER SOLUTION, AND PERFORM A COMPLETE AND QUALITY REPAIR. I HAVE WORKED AT ALL SORTS OF SHOPS FROM DEALERS TO INDEPENDENTS AND I CAN TELL YOU 90% OF PEOPLE WORKING ON CARS IN 2024 (MOBILE OR "PROFESSIONAL") ARE CLOWNS THAT JUST WANT TO FIX YOUR CAR AS FAST AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT ANY WORRIES ON HOW LONG THAT REPAIR WILL LAST
Hello my name is Kevin and I am an ASE MASTER CERTIFIED auto technician with over 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE. I have a 2 year Associates Degree in Automotive Science. I work out of my home in the southeast metro. I have all the knowledge, tools, equipment, and experience to get your vehicle FIXED RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!!!
Year, make, model, and engine size are much appreciated when requesting a quote. Let me know if you already have parts but please let me get find them for you. 90% of parts online or at local stores are cheap and likely will not last long. I find QUALITY NAME BRAND parts that ACTUALLY FIT at an amazing price (likely the same price or less than what you would pay)
4 ways I save you money
1. Install quality parts from online sources to prevent repeat failures. DONT USE CHEAP PARTS!!!
2. Quality service procedures to ensure the repair lasts a very long time. Almost all of my repairs last the life of the vehicle. 2 year 24,000 mile warranty OR BETTER on most repairs
3. I pinpoint the customers problem correctly the first time. If you go to another shop you could easily pay hundreds of dollars only to get your car back with the exact same problem
4. I NEVER recommend services that are not needed. I often advise customers that services are not needed when they come to me with repair estimates from other shops.
How other shops work
-Salesmen paid on commission and trained to rip you off and recommend services YOU MAY NOT EVEN NEED!!!
-They get the cheapest parts possible from O'reilly's, NAPA, and Auto Zone. Then charge you 2-3 times more than what you could have purchased them for. (a $100 part will cost you $200-$300). WHAT A RIP OFF!
-These parts often fail after 2-3 years and the job has to be done all over again at your cost. DONT USE CHEAP PARTS!
-It's extremely difficult to find smart and experienced auto techs who truly care about the quality of the repair. Tires plus, Midas, Big O, Meineke, Even "family" owned shops...they can't find quality techs so they have the oil change guys attempt to fix your car. DON'T FALL VICTIM TO THIS!!!
How I do things differently
-I have nothing to gain by ripping you off. Brutally honest when it comes to advising my customers on auto repair.
-I get most of my parts from online sources. These are QUALITY PARTS that are equal or very close to the quality of a dealership part for less than what you would pay for the cheap part at your local part store. DONT USE CHEAP PARTS!!
-Very detailed and thorough when it comes to repair. Things like properly cleaning gasket surfaces, properly torquing bolts, replacing all necessary parts, pinpointing the problem correctly and accurate diagnostics... All of this is to ensure the repair LASTS A LONG TIME!!! My repairs (except for things like brakes) basically last the life of the vehicle!
How it works
- $80 per hour labor (compare that to the typical $150 per hour shop rate)
- Premium Brand parts at an amazing price (compare that to a 200% mark-up on cheap parts)
- Cash only at this time. Pay pal or venmo should work as well. If you insist on a check I would have to wait for it to clear before i start repairs. You pay me AFTER THE REPAIR IS DONE (in most cases). We can even test drive it after the repair (before you pay) if you would like.
- 2 year/24,000 mile parts and labor warranty on most repairs.
Call, text or E-mail me today with your auto repair questions/needs. Even if i don't work on your car I should at least be able to point you in the right direction.
Engine/Transmission replacement. I basically don't replace engines or transmissions because it's hard to guarantee that a used engine is a good engine. Same goes for rebuilds. Brand new is too expensive
Timing chains. These almost always fail due to lack of oil changes, when this happens its hard to guarantee the rest of the engine is still good. The best example is someone spending thousands to replace their timing chain and one month later the same exact problem happened because the pistons/cylinder walls are scratched and the engine burned up all the oil in the crankcase. If you spend money replacing your timing chain.... expect to have same or similar problems after you get your vehicle back. For these reasons i stay away from timing chains. CHANGE YOUR OIL EVERY 5-6,000 MILES and you should be fine. Check your oil level once in a while too.
