I do not encourage anyone to use this service. As a small business owner, I understand how valuable reviews and receiving good service is. I started to not leave this review, yet after a few months of this business avoiding me, I am now leaving one. They helped me by being available on a Sunday. They came to me and replaced my brakes. The next day, I tried to drive my truck and I could not go above 45 mph, my truck wouldn’t let me out of safety. I contacted them and they came back out, but not without charging me “an arm and a leg”. Afterward, I asked for a receipt since it’s a work truck. He said he would get it to me and gave me this really sorry personal story. I have since reported them for fraud and am working on getting my money back. I highly encourage anyone to avoid this company. I typically do not leave negative reviews for businesses, only positive ones where they earned it. This time warranted it.

After-hours hero! Showed up with parts, fixed my window fast, friendly and flawless work! My driver’s side window was stuck down after business hours, and Gismmo Mobile Mechanic came to the rescue! He even picked up the necessary parts on the way and came right to where I was. He was quick, efficient, and clearly knew what he was doing (no YouTube tutorial needed!). Very friendly, helpful, and professional — I highly recommend!

Brandon was amazing! I stripped a bolt on my gaming chair and called him at 9:05p. He was here by 9:40 and the bolt was removed and my chair was assembled before 10p. I’m very appreciative for the fast service since I threw my other chair out and have work in the a.m. 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND.

Brandon did amazing work today on my engine, in a parking lot, in Texas heat, 1.5 hrs and that included having to get another part. He’s very knowledgeable, efficient, and affordable. Gismmo Mobile Mechanic will definitely be my first call for any future repair needs!

Brandon came to my rescue literally!! He helped me out tremendously, I was stuck at a QT my belt had busted and the tensioner had broke he took care of all of it at this gas station. He drove to the nearest auto store to buy the parts communicated everything with me! Did I mention I had packages to deliver!! I was working at the time! For me to have someone come to you and help you his price was very reasonable! And this type of service is not common! Call Brandon the next time you need help for something unexpected with your vehicle or even something you already know you need! Also this was on Sunday!! Most shops are closed so like I said he was a true blessing to come rescue me and my children I had with me at that time! He worked super fast because I had them with me. Thank you so much Brandon.

Avoid Gismmo Mobile Mechanic at all costs. On a recent trip from Houston to Dallas, my starter went out. We called Gismmo and spoke with Brandon, who met us on December 13. While I appreciate anyone willing to help stranded travelers, calling him turned out to be a very expensive mistake. From the start, nothing was disclosed—no travel fee, no estimate, no explanation of costs. He and another man “confirmed” the starter was the issue and said he had one on hand. After the repair, he suddenly mentioned he had “fixed an oil leak” with sealant and added another $150 to the bill, claiming he normally charges $600–$700 for that. The problem? I’ve never had an oil leak, never had oil pressure issues, and never once saw oil on the ground. We ended up paying $1,058 for a starter replacement and an “oil leak” that didn’t exist. Less than 50 miles down the road, my check engine light came on and at the stop we noticed the vehicle was idling hard / rough. Once back in Houston, the code showed a knock sensor issue (Google says - commonly damaged during starter repairs when not careful). I reached out to Gismmo with this information and got two short texts back: “It’s easy.” “One screw.” No accountability. Noconcern. No offer to make it right. I then took the car to a reputable mechanic, who found: - Damaged knock sensor harness - Possible knock sensor damage\ - A missing motor mount bracket bolt - A motor mount not properly installed or tightened According to the shop, all of this traced back to the previous repair. Fixing it cost me another $1,042.45. What should have been a simple starter replacement turned into a $2,100+ ordeal because of sloppy, careless work and zero professionalism. I sent Brandon the mechanic’s report and photos—no response until I called him, and still no ownership or apology. (Which could have prevented this extremely detailed review.) When I called again, despite it being obvious he claimed he didn’t even remove a mount bracket and denied causing any damage, insisting it was “dry rot” and that “all vehicles like mine” have dry rot. It was clearly damage, not dry rot and the actual mechanic shop stated damage and lack of proper reinstall parts caused the issue. Even if it was a dry rot issue, TELL THE CUSTOMER what you saw when you saw it and give them a heads up. He is quick to fix things he didn’t have permission to and then charge for it, so why not address it all then…what he says is a scam… Additionally, beware of his parts pricing and claims about what he installs. He told my wife and me that the starter was new, cost him $360, and for the warranty if we have an issue call Oriley and give them his phone number. When I tried that just to see where the dishonesty ends, O’Reilly required an account number not a name or phone number. I called Brandon to tell him this and all Brandon would provide upon request is the account name of a near by shop on Mesquite. After calling three different Oriely stores, the fourthI was willing to look it up by name. They confirmed the starter was in fact refurbished, not new as he stated. Had I purchased it myself, the cost would have been $284.99. His cost was only $147.92. I brought this up via text—still no response. What did I learn? Save your money, your time, and your vehicle. Gismmo Mobile Mechanic did more harm than good, and I strongly warn anyone against using them. I wish I had seen reviews like this before ever calling, which is why I am posting screen shots of all the reviews I wish I had seen before we reached out in a desperate situation.

Gismmo was wonderful, came to me within 30 min and fixed the issue right away...he also found another issue and laid out to me not only how much, but how long I could ride before having to absolutely change it. 5 stars all the way!!!

I asked him to come out and he charged me $150 just to travel less than 15 minutes, then added $220 for 20 minutes of work that only required a ratchet wrench and Jack. Please don't be an idiot like me.

I contacted Brandon to do a pre-purchase inspection for a vehicle I was interested in purchasing. I do not live in the same city and he showed up on time as promised to the location of where they supposed vehicle I was purchasing was going to be he was very adamant about me sending him a payment so I was confident the vehicle was gonna show up and he was gonna take care of it at this time so I sent him payment and little extra of what he was charging me a total of $370 for his time waiting . At this time the seller never showed At the end, there was never an inspection done so we agreed there was gonna be a partial refund in my opinion $125 would be fair and the rest to be given back to me. I called him for a few days and he never answered. He got back to me through text saying he was not going to give me a refund. I do consider him a con artist and a scam. Beware.

Shout out to Gismmo!! We were stuck at a gas station waiting for help and Gismmo pulled over ever so kindly and asked if we needed help. Our aid was on the way but I have to say it's not everyday you have someone with a kind heart and caring demeanor that actually WANTS to help. Thank you so much 🥰

Brandon was cordial and easy to work with. He answered all of my questions and told me some things that I needed to get done above and beyond the brake service he provided. 10 out of 10 recommend.
