Dave is wonderful. He replaced my alternator today. He showed me exactly what was wrong with it. He even pointed out my cv joints needing to be replaced. Places I've gone to before dont take the time to care. I am comfortable with making Dave my permanent mobile mechanic. Thank you Dave!

Very knowledgeable in every aspect of vehicle repair. Remember he's a Mobile Mechanic, so transmission repair, or other "big" jobs, should be done at a brick and mortar. However, no job is too big or too small. He can do it all. Great guy ta boot. Highly-qualified and sincerely recommended .

Dave is TRULY a godsend!
The AC in our 95' Miata went out about a month ago and though it was annoying, my husband and I figured we would be fine until we could afford to fix it. That was until it seized up the whole engine and stalled out the car every time we tried to turn it on.
I reached out to Dave as the car was undrivable at that point and he got back to me that same day and we set up a time to run diagnostics.
He was very transparent about what the problem was, how to fix it, and his pricing.
He helped me order all the right parts and we set up a date for the actual service work once everything came in.
I am beyond grateful to have found him, now that everything is fixed our car has AC again and we can drive it no problem!
10/10 experience honestly and I will definitely will be recommending him to anyone in need of a mechanic.

Dave is a professional! Called him and described what was happening with my car and was able to get it fixed within an hour. Also asked if he could do a tune up last minute and did it for me. He knows what he is doing. I definitely recommend for anyone having car issues. He will let you know what is going on before you pay. 10/10!

Dave is awesome! Mobile auto repair is a great idea! He actually answers his texts/calls. Responds quick. And he’s an awesome mechanic! He’s got so much knowledge. His prices are fair. I called at 9 am and my daughter’s car AC was repaired by noon! I will be a repeat customer. I highly recommend!
