James has done work on 2 of our vehicles. Both times he has done excellent work. He is professional and I feel more confident in his repairs than I do getting work done at my local dealership. He takes pride in his work. He takes pictures of bad or aging parts where applicable so you can see why the part(s) need replacing. He uses only new genuine factory parts which I appreciate. I would be very comfortable recommending James to anyone. It is also very convenient to have him do all the work at my home.
We were so impressed with our experience with James. He repaired my belts on my car after it was shredded. He so quick to answer the phone, look up my car information, collect the correct parts, and completed the service the next day. James was very informative, professional, and we were so happy to not pay the price that we would have paid if we took it to a shop. Thank you James! We will definitely be using your services again.
I called him to replace my cars battery, and he also noted that the reason the hood didnt open when you pull the handle inside the car was because the cable had snapped. So he replaced the battery that day, and called a few days later to schedule a time to fix the broken cable after he found the parts needed. Excellent and convenient service -- will certainly call on him again!
Very pleased with the service I received from James!! He helped me out multiple times with my Mustang. Quick service, friendly and honest. Highly recommend!!
James is amazing. I was on my way home from camping when my car started squeezing and rattling. I had to work the very next morning and needed to have it looked at before something went terribly wrong. James showed up, diagnosed the issue, and replaced my water pump right it the parking lot while I was working. I was lucky he was able to make it out on the same day. I know thats not always the case. I will definitely be calling again with any other issues.
James was very responsive regarding my repair. It was out of the normal (door actuator replacement). He was prompt and gave me a quote within 24 hours. He arrived on the date scheduled and fixed the issue. Im thrilled with the convenience and the cost was comparable with my normal mechanic AND I DIDNT HAVE TO BE WITHOUT MY CAR FOR A DAY!! Service was completed in less than 1 hour. Thanks James, will definitely have you do more work in the future!
Stopped at a grocery store and truck wouldnt start back up. Had the vehicle towed home as I was not aware of mobile mechanics and I am newer to the area so I do not have a preference or trust for the local repair garages.Quick search on Google, top listing, top rated and great reviews. Every bit of it was on point on accuracy.James answered my call first try, he returned my call with all the pricing details I needed including tax as well!He became available earlier than the set appointment time and arrived fast after phone confirming it was alright to arrive early.He got straight to work, tested the part first to ensure it was bad, then moved right into the replacement. Even with a decade old truck, he was able to single handedly remove everything and put it it back clean, correctly and effortlessly.He said he backs his work, goes above and beyond for his clients and has been in business for over 30 years.Car broke down? Not working right? Give James a call, youll be glad you did!
Prompt service, good quality and value. One of the best mechanics in town.
On a Friday I alled to leave a message about my car that wouldnt start, James answered right away, yay. Came out that afternoon figured out the igniton switch was broken. Said he would check about parts and get backto me, 2 hours later he found the part and we scheduled the repair for Monday morning. By 11am my car was running again!!!Thanks James,Sherry D.
I think when youre looking for a mechanic, the number 1 thing on the top of everyones mind is I hope I dont get ripped off. The other thing youre likely thinking is I hope they can fix it. If youre looking up Google reviews to find a mechanic, please stop here. James is honest, professional, responsive, and does great work. My experience with James for my wifes vehicle was a good one. He fixed it in a timely manner and his price was fair. Thank you James for the great work you do for our community!
James, got right to work diagnosing the problem. Ordered the part and installed the next day. Price was fair for the service provided. I appreciated his prompt service.
We had James work on our classic Corvette that had been parked in the garage for a few years and wouldn’t start. He diagnosed the problems and now it runs better than ever. He is a skilled and honest mechanic that we will hire again.
Didnt show up the first day when he told me 6:30pm. Waited around. Texted him and called him. Didnt get back to me till 9pm. He said he could make it the next day at 10am. The next day at 10am he said he can be there at 10:40am. Showed up and put the belt on that I needed. Seemed nice but waiting around hours for a 20 min fix wasnt worth it.
James was very friendly, on time and did a great job! I would recommend no doubt
Just another auto place couldn’t give me a quote, call the Mexican owned places they will give you a real quote
James was recommended to me by a friend, and I sure appreciate it! He was professional, friendly, very affordable and super knowledgeable. Just an all around great guy! I will be referring him to all my friends.
Quoted me less than half the price of the dealership, used factory parts, and fixed it right outside my house. This guy is knowledgeable and does his job right! I will be using him in the future.
Did a great job. Quick and efficient for the price he stated. Very friendly.
James is incredible. He worked quickly and his prices are very fair. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs a mobile mechanic.
Explained that we wanted hoses replaced in our motorhome. He stated he would get us an estimate. Didnt hear back and I emailed him again with no reply. Common courtesy would have been to just say he couldnt do it rather than just leaving us hanging.
These guys are the best!!!...HONEST.....WHERE IN THE WORLD CAN YOU FIND THAT THESES DAYS.......IM SOOOOO VERY HAPPY WITH MY SERVICE.... MY COAST....AND THE GENUINE WELCOME HE GIVE. ME AFTER I SAID... THANK YOU...
James is a seasoned pro and as honest as they get.Hes an expert and mobile too!
I am so happy with the service I received from James Mobile Auto Repair! He was able to fix my car and went above and beyond to fix a few other little things that needed to be repaired. Very kind and courteous
James was so nice and worked us into his schedule right away to be seen quickly! He is extremely knowledgeable and honest. Being new to the area, we were uneasy finding a mechanic we didn’t know, but James went above and beyond for us! We will absolutely be using him again!
The starter motor on my Honda went out. I called James in the morning and he was out the same day. He did the work in a very professional manner and the car has been working great since. Really appreciate the work he did.
James really got me out of a jam with a shredded serpentine belt. Great service and fair prices.
I called James Monday morning and he was able to come out to look at my car the same day. He diagnosed the need for a new starter, and made sure to get a factory match to what my car needed. Very convenient to use his mobile services. Thanks James!
James has repaired several of my vehicles as well as some of my family members vehicles. His work is always fast, through and reliable He does his work onsite for less than I would have paid of shop mechanics. I would recommend him to anyone looking for honest, friendly, affordable and reliable auto repair.
James is good and honest, very experienced mechanic. Clearly explained his rates and cost of parts, didn’t try to sell me anything. I thought My Toyota pickup needed an expensive replacement (new starter motor), he advised me to a better fix (clean battery contacts). So he sacrificed more profit to do a better job. Also he guarantees his work which is big. I absolutely trust him and will call him for future work.
James met me at a car I was looking to buy, helped me find the right price for it and do a diagnostic check. He made sure I knew what each thing he was fixing did and why it was important to fix it. He also showed me the parts and where they go and what was wrong with them. Then he came to my home and did all the repairs it needed. Super friendly, hard working, and honest. Would 100% recommend him to anyone. He fixed my oil valve covers, coolant reservoir, drive chain belt, and got my brakes taken care of. Highly recommend!
James is definitely the most honest and talented mechanic Ive ever worked with! The convenience of him coming out to your location to work on your car is amazing. Hes done a fantastic job on my SUV, as well as my boyfriends truck, and his prices are consistently less than the dealerships. Call James first with any auto issue or maintenance!
James is very efficient, professional and affordable. Im very satisfied with the work that he did on my car. Thank you James!
James was awesome, he called me back after making sure he could fix the water drip issue in the interior of my Porsche Cayenne. He was able to come to my work to fix it on time, was very polite and fixed the issue in no time at all. Would highly recommend him A++.
I reached out to James to look at my 2003 Ford with a leaking cooling system and was very happy with his service. He came to my house, diagnosed the issue, and came the following day to do the repair. His price was very fair - I knew the parts were likely $200-250 and he was right in line. Very friending and honest. Ill call him again.
James was very upfront and honest about the price of initial assessment. He was able to assess our Kia the day after calling him and fixed the fuel pump the day after that.Nice Grandpa. Showed me a pic of his grandson as we talked about my kiddos.My fuel gauge is showing half full even though I filled the tank. He said hed come take a look to check the fuel pump no problem. Probably just the fuel gauge dial acting up. Honest guy!
Great guy concience and obviously expierienced.fast and honest
Professional, on time, didnt try to sell me headlight fluid. Would recommend.
James was prompt, got the issue handled and assured me that all his work is guaranteed, so if I have any issues to just give him a call and hed take care of it. My car battery was dead (10 yr old battery!) and the terminals were shot. Since Chrysler likes to put car batteries in the most ridiculous of places, I was not able to replace this myself. James had to jack up the car, drop the battery from underneath and he replaced the terminals and put anti-corrosive gel on the new terminals and battery to ensure a clean future. Very professional, very knowledgeable and had some funny automotive stories to share.
Not only was James an efficient, knowledgeable and fair, but he came to my house! And saved me hundreds of dollars! I will definitely be using James again and recommending him to everyone who has car needs!
James is an amazing mechanic! He is timely, efficient, honest, affordable, and trustworthy. He has quickly helped me when my car isnt running, and gets it running again in no time at all. I feel fortunate to have him as my go to mechanic. It doesnt matter where I am - he will come work on my car wherever it happens to be, which is great for everyone because you dont need to worry about getting it to a shop. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is needing work done on their vehicles. You wont be disappointed!
James was great! Vey professional and knowledgeable. He came out right away and was quick and fixing my problem. Im very happy I called him and I highly recommend him.
2nd time he has fixed one of our cars. Very friendly and professional. Got the job done quick. We highly recommend!
James did a fantastic job with my truck. He took care of what I thought was wrong and took care of a few other things to make sure everything ran smoothly. All for a fair price
Im writing this review on behalf of my mom (Teresa C.), who used James services (she doesnt have a google account). Her review is below:James gave me excellent service. He was friendly and very helpful too. I will definitely recommend him to family and friends in the future.
My problem was quite minor. but thanks to his ability to be mobile and show up to my business, he saved me $200 (towing). Nice guy, and honest.
James was great. He showed up early, and got the job done quick. He is professional, friendly, quick, and reasonable. At an excellent price as well. He saved me quite a bit when compared to other auto shops in the area.
James came quickly and asked a few questions then got right to it. He was quick and kind, didnt make me feel stupid, and fixed it right away.
James was very professional and helpful! He squeezed me in on a day when he was already booked, and charged me half of what the dealer quoted. He’ll definitely be my go-to mechanic in the future!
James Mobile Auto is a fantastic service. He will come to you and fix your vehicle on the spot whether you are at home or at the office - saving you time and money, while adding a lot of convenience! I have referred James to two of my friends, one of whom he saved over $200 from what an auto shop quoted him, not to mentioned he saved on the towing expense! Both were beyond satisfied with the quality of the work and fairness in price. I couldnt recommend James Mobile Auto higher!
Had an issue with my car not wanting to start even with a jump. James promptly came out within hour of calling him. He evaluated my car and the experiences Id had with it recently. Was able to get it started up and he checked everything out for me. Determined issue was with the battery Id replaced recently and not the starter/alternator like Id feared. He was able to get me back on the road in under an hour. I went back to where I got the battery, they verified that it wasnt working properly and I swapped it out.
I appreciate James amazing service and expertise. He helped me get a unique car back on the road. My experience with James was incredible and Im glad to know him. Thank you!
James is a great mechanic who produces good work. He is fair with his prices, he is willing to meet you wherever is convenient for you and he is very honest. I had a very hard time finding a decent mechanic. Now when I have a problem that needs to be fixed quickly I rely on him.
Great Honest Mechanic!
I have only inquired about prices, so I cant speak about actual mechanical service. But they responded promptly, they were courteous, and prices were average to the area.
James himself answered; immediately impressed. I already knew what work needs to be done on my vehicle. Nevertheless, James informed me he has a mandatory $120 diagnostic fee before any additional costs or work begins. I confirmed hed charge me the fee even if I just needed a $5 hose replaced. I politely passed. I was only looking at mobile mechanics as my car is non-mobile at the moment.
Excellent service. James replaced the starter on my sons 97 Mazda 626....a particularly difficult repair that I didnt want to take on myself. Its VERY nice to have James come to your home and do the work inside your own garage rather than having to tow your vehicle elsewhere when its inoperative. James replied very quickly when I called, came out the same day to diagnose the problem and got the job done promptly. Hes clearly very honest and professional and will give you a fair price for the work done. He also guarantees his work. I highly recommend him.
James did a great job replacing my thermostat in my 05 Mazda 3. It was great to have him come to my house and simply work in the garage while I was here. He brought all of his own tools and he followed through on everything he said he was going to do. He is someone who I can trust with my car. I am so glad I found him to do the things that I simply cant or wont do myself.
Fixed my tire then refused to refix it
James would be indispensable for our familys needs even if he werent a very good mechanic -- the convenience of having someone come to your house (especially when youre a stay at home parent with two kids and only one car) is too good to pass up. On top of that, James is an excellent, honest mechanic with a knack for explaining what is actually going on with the car. I know next-to-nothing about cars, but I like understanding a bit more about what a mechanic is doing beyond a bunch of jargon. Its hard to believe such awesome service exists when there are so many crappy-yet-thriving mechanics all over the place. If you live in the area, you would be nuts not to take advantage of this business.
As a busy mom and business owner my oil light had been on for too long and my husband had needed his cars oil changed for a while too. It seemed so many other things would come up that I couldnt make it go right to get to the oil changed. Thats when I called James. Within a couple of days James came to us - right to our door - making it so I could get to all of the things I needed done. He handled both of our vehicles - my new mini van and our 20 year old honda and gave us so much peace of mind. I felt so confident and cared for and for the house call there are no additional fees - he gives an outstanding price with a care factor I truly appreciate. He is like your trusted brother who will take care of your car (s) with complete integrity. So grateful to have James as our mobile auto repair! Highly recommend James as your go to expert for all your auto repairs and maintenance!! Thanks James!! Our mechanic for life!!
I had got a Mazda B4000 truck that needed some work. I called James and he came out to my shop and looked at the truck. He gave me a quote for the work that was very reasonable. He ordered the parts and took care of the problem. He is a very honest mechanic that treats you right. And the best part is that he comes to you or your place of business to do the work. I would definitely recommend him and will continue to use him in the future. Thank you James!
I have to give James 3 stars. I had him come take a look at my car with an agreement that it would be $120 for him to come diagnose why it wouldnt start. However, he failed to provide a diagnosis and left saying he would call me back later that day after doing research to figure out the problem. Well, I never heard back from him. That was friday morning, its now almost Monday afternoon. Luckily I was able to get the car to turn over. So now its in a shop. I cant really complain about James because since there was no diagnosis I gess he didnt feel the need to ask me for money but then again I never heard back from him.. Lack of communication with your customers is always a bad thing.
Okay, I just wanted to say James is a very helpful, kind, and very precise when diagnosing my vehicle I drive a 2001 Saturn S-Series and last Sunday my car literally shut off fearing it might of been a damaged fuel pump and James took a look and told me my vehicle needed a new alternator which he was able to install a new one in no time, overall his service I was not disappointed. He managed to get my car up and running literally 10 minutes before I had to leave for work. I appreciate your service James we need more good helpful people like you. :)
I had just moved here from out of state and my car wouldnt start. I didnt have anyone around to help me get to and from a shop and juggle my very young children. He came to my home the same day I called and fixed everything in an hour. He charges half of what the other mobile auto shop in this area does for diagnostics. I cant reccomend him enough!
I honestly discovered the most life saving service for us mamas. Car troubles are the worst and its awful having to wait at a mechanics with kids needing naps etc. Hes an amazing and honest mechanic who comes to your home and does all the work there. Yeah, it allowed me to conduct life as normal and most importantly have a happy little boy. His prices are the same as a regular mechanic. If you are ever having car issues and dont want super hassle, reach out to him. Hope its as life saving as it was for me.
James was amazing! He was quick, efficient, affordable, and got my car up and running in no time. By coming to me he saved me on a big towing bill! I would recommend him to anyone! Thanks again James!
James is experienced and honest. Most importantly he comes to you so its super convenient. We had to leave town on short notice and James was able to come over the day before to get our car ready. I would highly recommend him.
Let me start by saying that James mobile repair is top notch!! Honest, fair, and above all Knowledgeable!! His ability to listen to your concerns and fix the right things with out taking you to the bank!! He is the last of the true service techs!!!
Did not call back
A nice guy that does good work for an honest price.
Our 99 Ford Ranger XLT sat for over a year and a half without running. We called James and he was here and diagnosed the problem right away and was able to get us a new fuel pump for a great price and install it the very next day. We have been able to drive it this week. Thank you again for your fast and great job in fixing my truck.
James has been an amazing mechanic! He has made my life so much easier. My battery died in the snow storm and he came to my house, went and bought the battery, brought it back and had me running within 2 hours. He also fixed my sons truck leaving him up and running in less than a day. I cannot thank him enough!!!
James has been very prompt and reliable. He is knowledgeable, capable, and an easy and friendly person to communicate with as well. I have used his services several times so far.
Very nice guy. Fair prices. Would definitely recommend and will use again.
As a handyman in our family, I get a lot of requests for my opinion when my sisters and others are looking to purchase or have their car repaired. It was a breathe of fresh air when I could recommend James to them, and know that they would be taken care of in a professional manner for a reasonable price. On a selfish note, this saved me my own time, sanity. I cant recommend James enough to friends, family, and even stragners that have car snafus.
My wife and I run a small business and have used James for years. It is some of the finest service and the pricing beats any shop in town not to mention he will meet us where we are. He regularly exceeds our expectations!!
James is a true professional. Our office staff has loved the convenience of having their car worked on while we stay at work. He is honest, affordable, and someone you can trust. Thank you James!
James is efficient and courteous and always seems to care for the customers time. He wants to make sure that not only is he solving their problem but that hes doing it in a convenient and timely manner.James is always willing to help.
It was so cool to have a mechanic come to my house!! Then to find such an honest and trustworthy person like James. Thank you james for all of your help.
James came out and did the diagnostic on my car. He told me what the problem was and came out again quickly to fix the problem. Unfortunately he came across a problem when trying to replace the part. He told me he would look into it and get back to me. Since then he has stop responding to me. My car is not fixed and Im out the $100 for the diagnostic test. Disappointing.
James did a fantastic job and I couldnt recommend him more. Very easy to work with, I will definitely be calling next time I need help.
Was on time! Courteous and very professional! Fixed my automotive problem in a affordable and timely manner, would recommend him to all my friends and co-workers😁
James is a great mechanic! My car was DOA in my driveway. He was very prompt, did his research and resolved the problem.Save yourself some time, dont bother looking on Craigslist. Just call James! Hes professional and fair. Knows what hes doing.
Auto repair that comes to YOU...why have I not discovered this before! James is awesome and reasonably priced, I dont see any reason to take my car into a shop after meeting James.
Super honest and quick response time. You want a honest diagnosis then hes the guy you should be calling!
Sorry james, it took so long to do this. James is fair,honest, and a very nice gentleman. I used James to do a starter for me on my GMC truck, he gave me a time whice was next day but that afternoon had a cancellation and called me and said he could do it then. Was here in no time awesome guy friendly did the wprk right away then even chatted with me a bit. I will recommend him to anyone, and does great work and very reasonable on his price. Thank you james and will be calling you soon.
My volvo started making funny noises so we called James and within hours he was at our house to check it out. He quickly took care of the problem and services were fairly priced.
James is amazing, he is quick to inspect your cars and needs with honest and accurate work performed on your car. I would recommend him to anyone who has a car for jobs small and large.
We loved using James he came right to us helped get the parts we needed and it was taken care of the next day. Awesome and honest repairman.
Left voicemail. James called me back. He diagnosed problem over the phone and due to something that needs to be looked at by a specialized shop he recommended me to local shop. Thank you for taking your time to answer my questions!
James did great job and at a good price. He was prompt and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Called james late on Super bowl sunday as my wifes car would not start and i was leaving town the next morning at 6:00 AM. James was at our house before 9:00 AM on monday, diagnosed the issue and had the car repaired with 1 1/2 hours. Great Sevice.
James is an extremely honest, efficient, capable, and sincere mechanic. I highly recommend him for any mechanical job that hes willing to take!He helped me with a very difficult situation: my truck would run normally for one to several hours, and then with almost no notice the engine would stall and the truck wouldnt start again for several more hours... after which time it would start again and run seemingly normally. A large retail-chain auto garage had already charged me $500 to replace components that had nothing to do with the problem, gave the truck back to me, then was perplexed when the truck broke down on me again. Best of all, this was happening right at the start of the three-day Labor Day weekend holiday, which meant most businesses were closed until Tuesday. The big garage couldnt figure the problem out, so after an internet search for highly-rated local mechanics, I discovered James and turned to him for help.James drove out to my location, listened very attentively to the symptoms I described, thoughtfully conducted some tests and examinations on my truck, and then was very forthright in telling me that this was a bizarre problem that hed need to research for a couple of days on his own. He did his research, which included both reading on his own and also talking to contacts of his, and then got back to me with a preliminary diagnosis that it was either a sensor problem or the fuel pump.The next day he returned to my location, hooked up a fuel pressure gauge to my engine, confirmed that fuel pressure appeared to be normal, and allowed me to drive him around in my truck for over an hour while we waited for the mysterious problem to re-appear. Finally the engine began to sputter, we pulled over, James leapt out to check the fuel pressure gauge, and confirmed that it was now extremely low. Problem isolated: a fuel pump that works while its cool, fails when its been working long enough to get hot, and then regains normal functionality when allowed to fully cool down again.The next day James was able to replace my fuel pump, after which my truck ran dependably again, and charged me an extremely reasonable amount for the parts and his labor. James is an extremely honest, efficient, capable, and sincere mechanic. If youre in trouble and youre in the Portland/Vancouver area, call James!
Got things fixed without having to leave my house. Very convenient.
On time, does a great job, and sticks to his estimated. Could not be happier!
I would totally refer James to anyone about anything auto !!He is honest and trustworthy !!
Fixed my 67 Camaro. Diagnosed a broken and worn out starter, had it rebuilt and all done very quickly and efficiently.
Called him to do my brakes told him that i would be here till Monday. He was not I interested. Thank for your help
James is the best. I would highly recommend him!!!
I am so thankful I know an honest mechanic who will fix my car the first time and not give me the run a round or excuses.
