      Johnny is hands down the best mechanic I've ever worked with. It was a joy to see him in action. I've never seen a mechanic work so thoroughly while clearly explaining everything offering that extra bit of reassurance.
      My campervan broke down and I was stranded. Even with a full schedule, he still found a way to squeeze me in and help me out. He goes out of his way to help his customers and now my van sounds and drives better than ever!
      I would recommend Johnny wholeheartedly without hesitation. Give Johnny a call and see for yourself. He will take good care of you!

      Johnny to the rescue!

      I had a dead battery on my 2008 Saturn sky - The car was stuck in my driveway, would not start, and the key was stuck in the ignition



      As Somebody who is NOT car savvy, I was not sure what I was going to do!

      I found Johnny on Yelp and boy am I glad that I did! He not only went to the store and bought me the correct battery, he showed up at my house, on time, and with a smile on his face. Not much longer after that my car was up and running again and I was a happy and satisfied customer.

      Johnny did a great job, was fast, and did not over charge me. I appreciate all of those things so much

      Highly recommend!

      Johnny's always comes through for me. he fixed my brakes. He's also changed my battery cables but then he re-built the top of my engine when the head gasket was blown(2020). last week my check engine light came on. I called multiple people for quotes and would've had to tow my car to their business. when I called Johnny he was there within 48 hours, diagnosed and fixed my problem at my house. It turned out to be simple. Coil swap outs.. He is efficient Knowledgeable and explain to me exactly what he was going to do before it was done. This is the fourth time I asked for services and I've never been let down. if you're lucky enough to have him work on your car, you've got the right guy! Thank you Johnny! Sincerely A.J.

      Awesome, prompt, friendly, reliable mobile service. I messaged in the evening and Johnny came around early the next afternoon to replace the battery in my 2003 car, which wasn't starting as it had been sitting up for 18 months due to the pandemic. He also did a safety check, checked all fluids, brakes, etc., to make sure the car was safe to go back on the road. As a woman it was so nice to not have to deal with the mansplaining and lecturing that often comes with mechanics! Really reasonably priced, and super responsive. A+

      My car was stuck at the Food Bin after it suddenly just died on me. I called several mobile mechanics to figure out what was going on. One service wasn't available and out of town while the other called Mobile Tech (which has the best ratings on Yelp ) wasn't responding at all to my calls or texts. Johnny answered my call immediately and was easy to communicate with. He wasn't available right away amd said he needed to call me back when he returned home. He called exactly when he said he would and proceeded to take my information so he could give me a quote. He told me exactly what the cost of the part would be, his labor cost, and the travel fee. I really appreciated that he was straightforward about what he could do and how much it would cost. After providing the quote, he drove down to where my car was and within minutes of being there, he was able to diagnose exactly what the issue was - a belt had broken off! He called a store to get the part, drove to pick up the part for me, and returned to install it. It was clear to me that he was very knowledgeable with vehicles and having a mechanic I can trust is unfortunately hard to find sometimes but I could feel Johnny is an honorable guy. He's got good vibes! He replaced the belt and also checked my brakes and saw that I needed to replace them, which I have been wanting to do. So I asked Johnny if he could do the brakes which he will be doing later this week. I'm stoked to have met Johnny and was a little hesitant to call him since he didn't have any Yelp reviews prior to me meeting him. I'm glad I did! Don't hesitate to reach out to him if you need some help! He's top notch!

      I am gleefully driving around my pickup truck without randomly flashing my high beams at other cars AND my battery doesn't drain every time I go to the store during the day and don't notice that my lights are still on! Why, you ask? Because Johnny's Mobile Mechanic HOOKED IT UP! I knew these types of businesses existed, but was a little hesitant to pull the trigger because, well, I'm a girl. And mechanics usually screw me over, even though I can do my own oil changes and switch out a flat tire. It's just what they do. The dealership totally screwed me over with a SAFETY RECALL, of all things, on my awesome little Ford Ranger. NOPE, not doin it again. I decided to contact Johnny and see if he could help me out with installation of a new high beam/turn signal/multiswitch arm thingy (yeah, that's what it called, I looked it up.) I messaged him, he messaged me back with a quote/estimate and available date to come out. Sweet! Then, he happened to have some time this afternoon to come out and do the job. 30 minutes later, and I'm bumpin in my pickup, no hose job, no BS, just honest work. I will definitely use Johnny's Mobile again, AND recommend to my peoples. (He also helped me move a dresser from my car and up the stairs into my house, which was NOT part of the job, he's just a really nice dude.) Seriously, do yourself a favor and have this guy come to you and do the work on your automobile. Easy, awesome, totally fair price, with no BS. Thanks Johnny! (Reminder: Be cool. Tip well. Drive safe)

      Johnny is quite amazing. I called him early on Saturday morning, he confirmed his willingness to drive one hour to reach me and rescue my broken truck. He picked up necessary parts then drove to my house to pick me up and take me to the abandoned vehicle. I was able to watch him work as he replaced the alternator. As a former hot rod guy, I think I am able to judge a mechanic's Competence. Johnny showed it in spades. He was systematic, quick and thorough. He is also cheerful, and kind. His prices are remarkably low. I intend to use him for my future work.
