Saved the day and my pockets!!! I was in a rush, driving dangerously with bad rear brakes. Called around for estimates from the normal "big brands" and everyone's prices were ridiculous! Googled a bit a came across Dipstick auto. I liked the reviews, texted Dipstick and was able to coordinate an appointment following day. This was a house service to replace my rear brakes and rotors, saving me 100s in the pockets, and completed within an hour!

These guys are great! Heard about them through auto zone. I broke down and they got to me in about 5 mins had me up and running in no time. 10 outta 10 highly recommend. Especially being a woman. People always want to get over on you. These are honest hard working men. My new auto techs for sure.

My husband and i bought a car from a dealer, and automatically something Started to go wrong with the car we called dipstick auto and he came within 20 minutes of us communicating with him. They check the car. They told us what was wrong After doing a diagnostic .So we took our new car back to the dealer we showed them the diagnostic. there was one big issue with the car and a few minor issues, So instead of keeping the car, we got our old car back. if it wasn’t for the help of Dipstick auto, we would have been stuck with a bad car. We are very grateful for these men who came out and helped us with our car. They are very fast, very reliable they communicate fast. They respond fast. They even come to your home to look at your vehicle. Do not think twice about them. They are very good business. Thank you dipstick auto

Father's day heroes! I am posting a review on behalf of my husband: "Went up to Bass Lake for Father's day, and my alternador died while up there, on my 2006 Tundra. Had little tools and no local shops open on the weekend. Dipstick Auto really came through. I found them on Google, sent them a message asking for help. Not only did they respond to my message quickly, they drove from Fresno to my location (at campsite) within a couple hours, and were able to swap it out. They were professional, efficient and did not price gouge considering it was Sunday and Father's day. Thank you for your help!!! Sincerely, Grateful Dad" Hopefully you found this review helpful should you find yourself in a similar situation.

Dipstick auto has come to fix several of my cars and has never disappointed. Please disregard any bad reviews because they hold no merit to this guy's ability. He fixed a check engine on my 2003 Tacoma and he replaced the EPS module on my 2008 honda fit, a job that multiple forums stated was extremely difficult and time consuming. Dipstick Auto came by and did it in less than a hour and fixed all its issues. If you need any help with your vehicle I HIGHLY recommend him! Thank you.

Was having problems with my 1970 Buick Skylark steering column and ignition wiring. 3 different mechanics couldn't figure out the problem. My buddy, KB, told me to call Dipstick. Dipstick came over and was able fix the problem in about 15 minutes. He proved to me that he will be my mechanic from now on. Also, I asked him how I could lower the front end. He said he had time to do it now. He had the front end lowered within an hour. Thank you, again, Dipstick.

HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend these guys. They are professional, friendly, and efficient. They got my front rotors and brakes and my rear shoes and drums done within an hour. Had us drive around to test them and make sure everything was working as it should. They will always have our business from now on. Thanks again guys.

James fixed one issue we had with our vehicle, then proceeded to break our left wheel censor and is refusing to fix HIS mistake. He admitted to messing up, and blocked our number when we tried to reach out to him multiple times. The censor is $18, and I’m not sure why he won’t just replace it, especially because he openly admitted to making this mistake. He ignored all of our calls and texts and never came back to fix it. We only went through him because of a recommendation from someone. I’m not sure if these are fake reviews, (or bought reviews) but if you have a newer Toyota just take it elsewhere to save yourself the headache.

I was a bit complicated and the person I was talking to was far more then understanding. I would say they have pretty good customer service.

PLEASE READ: I was really patient with Dipstick but ultimately he did not fix the issue I had with my car and ghosted me. He charged me $130 for an incorrect diagnostic + $200 for labor. I appreciated that he told me about a website to use for cheaper parts but he told me to get the incorrect thing. He told me several times that he was 100% sure that he identified the issue but he was still wrong and charged me $200 for the labor aside from the diagnostic. I would trust him with an oil change or something like that but I think you should go to an actual shop if are having issues under the hood. I attached screenshots of our convo. He had told me that he now knew the actual issue and that he would charge me $50 to fix it. I just went into a shop and he was wrong again. Just posting my honest experience. I tried really hard to be patient with him. Be careful.

Needed work done on my car but I’m usually busy during the week working full time. Found this mechanic on the weekend and he saw me right away! He’s highly rated and for good reason. Knows his stuff, and took care of three different problems on the same day. Friendly, laid back, helpful, and reasonable. Appreciate the time and work he put in. Thank you!!

James and his team are fantastic! Sunday night our truck broke down, he drove out and replaced the alternator and belt and got us back on the road a few hours later. We thought we would have to get our car towed and find a repair shop in the morning but James came to us in 20 min and fixed everything. Incredible! Check out his reviews. James and his team are easy going, knowledgeable and work fast. Give him a call for anything auto related. He will come to you if you need. Thanks James!!

Had my car diagnosed by James today. He was very friendly and made the process far less stressful. He was at my house within the hour and let me know what i needed to fix. Won't give you the "run around" and tells you how it is and if he can fix it or not. If you are looking for a mechanic thats not a big name brand store like pep boys then this is the place to go for any check engine/car issues. Highly reccomend

I was looking for a mobile mechanic in Fresno for a vehicle pre inspection. I was considering Dipstick Auto, but the responses to the negative reviews detoured me. One thing that can make or break a company’s reputation is how it responds to negative reviews. When a business reacts defensively or argues with customers online, it doesn’t come across as confident — it comes across as aggressive and unprofessional. And that kind of energy doesn’t just push away the unhappy reviewer; it deters every potential client who reads the exchange.(like me) The most effective approach is simple: acknowledge the customer’s experience, offer a sincere apology, and show a willingness to make it right. People don’t expect perfection, but they do expect accountability. A calm, solution‑focused response demonstrates maturity, integrity, and genuine care for your customers. That’s what builds trust — and trust is what keeps people coming back.

I’m so grateful for James for taking care of my car. He was able to do what three other mechanics couldn’t and did it quickly and made sure that everything was done correctly. He’s very professional and reliable I will definitely be calling him if I ever have more problems in the future. I highly recommend ! 😊🙏
