SoCal/Kern County Mobile Mechanic

I usually don’t leave reviews but I’m going out of my way to do so because people need to be aware of this guy. I had issues with my serpentine belt not staying on track car and making a weird noise. He came out (after telling me he would originally be there at 3pm and lying to me saying he was on his way for 7 HOURS until he finally arrived at midnight) and listened to the noise for 30 seconds and told me the noise was “rod knock” and it would be an expensive fix. Thank God I pushed back and said the noise didn’t happen until I put the new belt on. He listened again and agreed it was the belt. After a few minutes of him starting the repair, he told me the timing belt was the issue, another expensive fix. I was sure that wasn’t the problem and paid him for diagnostics and told him I would be in contact since it was almost 2am by this time and I needed to wake up early for work the next morning. I ended up having another reputable mechanic look at it and he confirmed my suspicion that I just needed a new tensioner and serpentine belt (absolutely nothing wrong with my timing belt or rods). This guy was trying to charge me thousands of dollars for work I didn’t need. Save your money and go to someone who’s trustworthy.

Responds quick and is very knowledgeable! My car broke down near the outlets and he got there within 40-45 minutes. He greeted me kindly and immediately started checking on my car. He found out the problem quick and went to get the part immediately. My car was back up and running within a little over an hour. He did the job about 2 weeks ago and the car is still running smooth! Very reliable. Definitely recommend 100%!

I was broken down on the road. All my coolant leaked. It was late at night and I didn’t know who to call. Google some local mechanics and SoCal was the best price that I found. Showed up on time as stated did the repair and got me back on the road. I was super pleased with the professionalism and pricing on parts and service. Got me out of a sticky situation and I would definitely recommend him.

Needed someone to my brakes and rotors last minute. No shop had time to get me. Found him on the internet. Came on time and got the job done in a timely manner! Great work, will definitely will use him again🔥🙏🏽

for starters i wanna say i didn't get any work done from this person not due to me not wanting to but due to the failure of this persons communication and unreliability i decided to call him up regardless of him getting exposed for fraudulent transactions he was doing on a post on kern County activities they mentioned him doing work they didn't ask for for 3500$ but they didn't say he did a bad job so to me it was just a misunderstanding on both of their parts this is why i decided to give this company a 2nd chance however i will definitely say to stay away from him he is unreliable. someone who is unreliable is also irresponsible and may not be doing good quality work so i encourage you to not call this person unless it's your absolute only option. now on to my experience i called this person to get a quote on a brake job and to replace 2 wheel studs i sent the information and he never got back to me i had to call elsewhere but this is to show u that this person is unreliable and will let u down i needed the work done asap because this car is my only way of transportation. long story short don't call him
