I called Alberto at ASAP Mobile Auto Mechanic to schedule a pre-purchase inspection on a used car. He asked me the make, model, and year of the car then recommended that I shouldn’t buy it because in that particular year, the car had transmission problems. He didn’t have to disclose that and he could’ve easily had me bring in the car and charge me for the pre-purchase inspection but he was honest and upfront. I was so impressed by his integrity, knowledge, and honesty that I would absolutely do service with Alberto at ASAP Mobile Auto Mechanic.

I called Alberto about my daughters car. She needed new rotors and break pads. Alberto scheduled the repair the same day. While repairing her car, he also found she needed a belt as the belt currently on the car was frayed. He spent extra time making sure that the repair was complete and worked with my daughter who was at work. Alberto is very knowledgeable and professional. I would hire him again without hesitation.

Alberto is a good mechanic, but somewhat dishonest and irresponsible. It’s quite a long story, but I’ll summarize my experience. My 30-year old car’s engine was damaged by a different car shop. Alberto diagnosed the problem and estimated a $1500 repair which was more than the value of the car. So instead of fixing it, he offered to take the car from me and sell me a car he had recently acquired and repaired himself. It seemed like a good deal and he did disclose SOME of the repairs this newer car needed before it was ready to be registered, but not all of them. He assured me the check engine light was only because the coolant temperature sensor needed replacing. But in fact, that was only one of many things that needed repair and replacing on the car. Both catalytic converters, the exhaust manifold, 4 different sensors, and some other electrical repairs totaling over $3000 are all needed to make this car ready to pass smog inspections. It was an out of state transfer as well, and the cost of doing so was double what Alberto told me. The suspension also needed repair for additional expenses, but he did disclose that to me up front. He told me how he had repaired the engine and transmission himself, and he seems to have done a good job on that, but it also means he had extensively been under the car and definitely knew the catalytic converters were not only going bad, but were not the original ones and not matching what’s on the emissions label as is required by law. This was basically confirmed when it came to light that he had intended me to register the car using an illegal smogging solution to avoid the catalytic converter and registration problem. But didn’t tell me about that until it was too late anyway. He also assured me he would be able to help me get the evidence I needed to get compensation from the original car shop that damaged my original car, but he hasn’t done that. All of this was more or less confirmed and topped off by the fact that he now refuses to respond to my attempts to contact him. The only reason it’s not a one star review is that I got the newer used car from him very cheap and his mechanic work is generally good. Alberto is a very nice guy and very knowledgeable, but the dishonesty and irresponsibility of ghosting me is absolutely infuriating.

My engine had a small oil leak. I reached out to ASAP Mobile Auto Mechanic. Alfredo stopped by my house that same day and replaced the intake manifold gasket, on my 2004 Explorer. His price was about $80.00 less than local shops. I was satisfied with the work he had done and felt the price was reasonable.
