He charged me 200 dollars to sit inside the vehicle with the computer connected to see 2 things and give me the wrong diagnosis, telling me it was the fuel pump and it was a computer problem.

Josh's mobile mechanic service is by far top-notch!I had recently broke down quite a ways from town and from my home and could not get a tow truck due to the time of night that it was.So I decided to go ahead and give this guy a try.I looked online, saw his reviews were very good. I gave him a call. Within an hour, he was meeting me at my car.Did the diagnostics, had all the things that he needed. Determined it was my car's starter.Josh Gave me a very fair quote. More fair than I've ever experienced with any other shop here in town. We made an appointment time for the following morning at 10 a.m. He said that he would bring the part, which the next morning at 10 a.m. On the dot, he shows up with the part in hand with a lifetime warranty and within an hour, my car is back on the road and running like a champ. Josh's mobile mechanic is top-notch. Best mechanic experience I've ever had!Services: Auto battery replacement

I don't usually give 5 star reviews, but Josh definitely delivered each and every star. Driving from Utah to CA I stopped to visit friends for a few days and when I went to leave my Dodge Leisure travel van had a rough start and within 10 miles threw a Check Engine light. Josh picked up the call, we met right after his current call. Ran a diagnostic and I had a misfire on cylinder 7, showed me the readout, showed me how to tell the spark plug was bad, worked efficiently and had me up and running with fresh spark plugs and distributor cap in no time. I would definitely book him again when I come back through just for a quick check up. My van is purring like a kitten and I am excited to find an ethical skilled mechanic.

I was 13 miles from my destination, 650 miles from home. This was also 100 miles from Josh. I called around after waiting for 12 hours for AAA to never come. All shops were booked a week out was the shortest length, most of them 2 weeks, up to 3 weeks out. I had an event to go to that I spent thousands of dollars to attend, and it appeared I was possibly going to miss it while using a week of my precious vacation time. I stumbled across Josh from a Google search and called him. I used to be a mechanic too, and unfortunately didn’t have the tools to do the wheel bearing on my F350 4x4. I talked with him and asked if he would be willing to pick up the parts for me on the counter at the parts store. I reminded him that we also needed snap ring pliers, and he was looking for them. He couldn’t find his so ended up buying more, but came out and rescued me. We swapped the driver side caliper, and wheel bearing and he had me patched up in no time. I just wanted to reiterate that I was 100 miles one way from him!! After we bled the brakes, I was on my way after losing just one day. So happy I got to continue my vacation, and make it back home. Definitely replacing the other side caliper and wheel bearing before I take off on another road trip, but what a blessing to have found him. Thanks again man.-EthanServices: General repairs & maintenance

This guy is completely a ripoff. He was an hour late and charged us 160 to come out and for diagnostic for nothing! He didn’t know what was wrong with our car and told us he would get back to us. I had to reach out to see if he researched like he said he would and still he didn’t tell us much. A waste of money and a waste of time. He doesn’t know much but just basic things. I wouldn’t recommend him, better off with other mechanics. Very inexperienced and a waste of money!!!

MY EXPERIENCE WITH JOSH IS ACTUALLY WITH THE PURCHASE OF A CAR JOSH BUILT HIMSELF. WHEN LOOKING AT IT FROM THE OUTSIDE IT LOOKED GOOD AND OF COURSE HE TALKED UP ALL THE UPGRADES HE DID HIMSELF. HE HAD NEGLECTED TO SHARE THAT HE RACED IT AND DID MODS TO IT FOR A TURBO WHILE RACING IT THEN REMOVED IT BEFORE THE SALE OF THE CAR. AFTER THE PURCHASE WITHIN 3 DAYS THE TRANSMISSION BLEW. WHEN CONTACTING JOSH HE OFFERED NO HELP AND CONTINUED TO SAY IT HAD NO ISSUES BEFORE HE SOLD IT. SINCE HE OBVIOUSLY WASN'T GOING TO HELP I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER MECHANIC TO BE FIXED AND FOUND OUT THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING HAD BEEN DAMAGED FOR A LONG TIME AND CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. IN THAT SAME SMALL TIME FRAME, WE DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A BUNCH OF REWIRING DONE FOR THE TURBO TO KEEP THE FAN ON THAT CAUSED IT TO FAIL SMOG MULTIPLE TIMES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AFTER CLEARING THE CODE SO WE WERE UNABLE TO REGISTER IT DUE TO THAT. THE HEADLIGHT THAT HE SWAPPED TO SOME AFTER MARKET ONES WENT OUT AND BECAUSE HE REWIRED THAT AS WELL, WE COULDN'T GET IT TO COME BACK ON EVEN WITH REPLACING THE BULB AND FUSE. UNFORTUNATELY, AFTER GETTING THE TRANSMISSION FIXED THE CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. THE ENTIRE FRONT END CRUMPLED IN A MINOR ACCIDENT GOING 30MPH. THERE WAS BARELY ANY DAMAGE TO THE OTHER CAR BUT THE CAR FROM JOSH CRUMPLED. AFTER IT WAS TOWED, A MECHANIC LOOKED AT IT AND WE FOUND OUT THAT THE FRONT END WAS PUT TOGETHER WITH SELF TAPPING SCREWS WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THANKFULLY MY SON WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY WHEN HE GOT IN AN ACCIDENT OTHERWISE WHO KNOWS HOW BAD HE COULD HAVE BEEN HURT. JOSH SAYS HE'S A MECHANIC BUT SEEING HIS WORK MAKES IT CLEAR HE IS NOT. IN FACT JOSH TAKES HIS OWN CARS TO ANOTHER LOCAL MECHANIC (WHO IS WELL KNOWN AROUND TOWN WITH A GREAT REPUTATION, THIS IS THE SAME MECHANIC WHO SENT ME PIC OF THE TRANNY AND TOLD ME THAT THE DAMAGE WAS THERE LONG BEFORE WE BOUGHT IT) BECAUSE HE CAN'T FIX THE ISSUES HE CAUSED. JOSH PICKS AND CHOOSES IF HE WILL ANSWER YOUR CALL AND ONCE YOU GIVE HIM MONEY THAT'S IT, HE WILL NOT HELP OR TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY ANYMORE. IN THE SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, I HAVE INTERACTED WITH JOSH I LEARNED THAT HE IS EXACTLY WHY REAL MECHANICS HAVE A BAD NAME. YOU GET GUYS LIKE THIS WHO ARE DISHONEST, OVERCHARGE AND DO WORK THAT CAN CAUSE HARM TO PEOPLE CALLING THEMSELVES MECHANICS. I WOULD SAY CON ARTIST IS A BETTER TITLE. I WANTED TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE TO HOPEFULLY PREVENT OTHERS FROM GETTING SCAMMED AND/ OR POTENTIALLY HURT BY HIS NEGLEGENCE AND LACK OF ACTUAL MECHANIC ABILITY. JOSH ONLY CARES ABOUT THE MONEY NOT THE CUSTOMER.

Josh was fantastic to work with! The car broke down and he ran a diagnostic on it and then checked it out and figured out that we needed to replace the distributor on the car. He got the distributor and had it all replaced within hours! He walked me through what was wrong with it and showed me the difference in the distributors. He knows what he's doing and patiently explains what was wrong and how it needed fixed. He answered all our questions quickly and made sure we understood everything. Totally recommending him if you need a mechanic!Services: General repairs & maintenance

Joshua gave me a quote on a new AC Compressor for my 2006 Honda CRV within a few hours that was far more affordable than other mechanics/shops in the area. Cash only, but it was well worth it. He even did an inspection and got everything under the hood cleaned. Will definitely be going back to him for my future Honda needs.Service: Air conditioning

Two days before I was supposed to leave on a cross country trip to New York, my check engine light came on. It had some thing to do with the oil pressure but I wasn’t sure what was the problem. I called Josh to discuss the possibilities and we determined the most likely culprit was simply the oil pressure sensor. I grabbed the parts and he came out a few hours later, and had me up and running in less than 30 minutes, I would highly recommend Josh if you’re stuck or need your vehicle worked on. He was very knowledgeable, very polite, and had all the tools on him to get the job done right.Services: General repairs & maintenance

My name is Aaron I am a 54 year old man and me and my wife were coming back from Utah a couple of days ago August 31st, and started leaking water at about the BoomTown Exit in Verdi just outside of Reno.To my unexperienced eye it looked like a pipe had burst on the end. we got a room in Boomtown after having no luck finding a mobile mechanic after calling numerous mobiles from the google search.A majority were disconnected. or no answer. We got a room in Boomtown, and in the early morning, found Josh on a Google search. He agreed to come to our casino to fix us up. Josh arrived when he said he would. He quickly found the problem, and this was more than a hose issue as a part had completely cracked apart. we called around, Josh went to get the part, and sent me a quote. His service is worth every penny. He is not cheap, mind you. Anyways he drove and got the part, came back and installed with the hands of a surgeon. I am serious.... after this casing for the coolant was back on, there was still a small leak in an area that shouldn't have been leaking. it was a bleeder valve coming from my recovery tank and it is no bigger than a quarter, cracked in half. we called around and were lucky that the folks at the Corwin Buick in Reno had this very trivial part.. I am sure Josh and I both are still surprised. he drove back to Reno again to secure this part and we went back to the car where he anxiously finished the job.... He did not re-give a quote after this issue was found. He spent 4 hours with us and helping us to make sure we were back on the road.. Incredible.. Thank you Josh..

Very surprised with the positive reviews. I'm guessing they are paid reviews as a handful of the accounts only have one review. Firstly he doesn't answer his phone and wants you to text him. Found that both annoying and unusual. Second he certainly is not 24 hr. I text around 10:30pm and he tells me to contact him in the morning. Did not serve my needs and wish I could rate lower. It would be nice to see the hours changed on Google.

He was nice and came out quickly but he did not make sure the job was done right, he was here maybe 10 minutes did not make sure the car worked. We asked him if he could come back out and he ignored us. Would not recommend a mechanic that doesn't guarantee his work or make sure the job is done correctly before leaving.
