I called Jose to see if he could do a pre-purchase inspection on a car I was planning on buying. He today me he could do it on the same day I called! His prices are super reasonable and the quality information you get from his inspection is time and money saving. He is by far the most professional and attentive to detail mechanic I have ever come across I would recommend him to anyone who wants a pre-purchase inspection in the Orlando Fl area!

Called Jose on a Sunday and Monday morning he was at the dealership doing an extensive pre-buy inspection for me. I live out of state and he was extremely thorough, documenting and outlining both pros and cons. Made it easy and was so friendly. Best money I have spent in years! Thanks Jose!

Excellent small company! We had him as our personal mechanic for almost a year now & no wonder, he’s a very busy man who we can’t keep out with bec he have so many clients but no matter how busy he gets, he will keep his promise to be there when you needed some work for all types of car. What a great job he’d done! Olivares mobile auto mechanic are one of the hardworking people we know and very professional to their work. They were on time, worked fast, very reliable & fairly reasonable price. Thank you soooo much & I will highly recommend this company. They are such a blessing in disguised!

Jose assisted me with a pre-purchase inspection on a 2009 Lexus IS 350 and he really knows his stuff! He gave me the peace of mind I was looking for when it comes to this vehicle. Would highly recommend him if you need a vehicle checked out before purchasing.

Mr Olivares completed a pre-buy inspection for me on a classic car. I'm several hours away and wanted a solid understanding of the vehicles true condition. Communication was outstanding and I received extremely detailed images and phone calls real-time. I would definitely recommend Mr Olivares to anyone seeking a similar service. Thank you again!

I hired Jose to come inspect a 1983 Toyota Trekker. I was flying in from New Orleans and wanted my own mechanic to inspect the vehicle. Jose did an amazing job, noticing a slight knock in the engine and a vibration when the car was going over 35mph. He mentioned these things to me and the vehicle's owner, who denied noticing anything wrong. He suggested I not buy the vehicle unless the owner was willing to fix these things. Long story short, the owner ended up fixing both issues, I had Jose reinspect the vehicle and I ended up buying it. I trust Jose 100% and highly recommend him.

I called Jose at the last minute. We were coming from out of town and needed someone to meet us at a car dealership to do a pre-purchase inspection on a used car. Jose not only was willing to accommodate us, but he showed up on time. Within 30 seconds of looking at the car we wanted to buy, he could tell the car had been in an accident. We would have had no idea since the car had a clean Carfax and we did not know what to look for. Jose then inspected a second car for us. He got underneath and checked for frame damage. He was very knowledgeable and pointed out an area where he could tell the car had been worked on. He told us the second vehicle was a clean car. It was! We bought the car. A couple of days later we brought the car to the manufacturer dealership for a multi point inspection and were told that the car was in mint condition. We are so thankful we used Jose. He saved us from buying a car that had been in an accident! His prices are also very reasonable. We would definitely recommend him.

Jose took my car apart and then disappeared . He told me he got covid (understandable) but after a few weeks he began to promise me daily “he was coming today” to fix my car. He never came. Completely ghosted me and took the part I paid him for. Extremely unprofessional. I love to support small business and this was a big let down. Highly recommend NOT letting him fix anything.

Jose was very responsive, quick to schedule us, and detailed in his evaluation of our pre-purchase used car. He sent pictures and corresponded all the way through the process. Jose has a special discernment with engine and mechanical soundness that you won’t find with the other services like the Lemon Squad. Plus, he charges a very reasonable rate. Very impressive service worthy of 5 stars. Thank you Jose!

Jose helped me out in a pinch. I needed a car inspected pre-purchase and he met me at the car lot on the same day!! He did a thorough inspection. Told me the things it would need so I knew what to expect when I bought the car. He was very communicative with his ETA. Highly recommended!

Jose has been a blessing! He came to inspect a pre-owned Mercedes last minute Sunday evening a few months ago. It was my son's dream car and we had peace of mind knowing an expert like Jose inspected the vehicle. Just yesterday, Jose drove all the way from Tampa to Palm Bay to check another vehicle for me. This vehicle had some issues and I decided not to purchase it. He even dropped me home afterwords. Nobody these days goes above and beyond like Jose! Forget the rest of the mobile mechanics...Save Jose's number in your contacts and he will gladly come to your rescue.

Mr. Olivares came to fix my truck, water pump and serpentine belt. I broke down late the night prior and the next morning needed a mobile mechanic. He gave me the best rate and I think I was lucky enough with the amount of expertise and how well he did to complete the job. Highly recommend if you need some help with your car/truck. Very nice company, Jose was super nice and professional.

Jose is the worst mechanic I’ve ever dealt with. He first misdiagnosed the problem with my car and I bought a $200 part that I didn’t even need. Then I paid him for the water pump that was actually needed and he strung me and my girlfriend along for 3 weeks !!! He kept saying his head hurt or he didn’t feel good and he would come tomorrow then proceeded to ignore me the next day. My car is complete torn apart still siting in the parking garage and he never brought me the parts I paid for. I’ve also included pictures, never do business with Jose !!!!

This guy is a con-man. He came to fix my car battery, and told me he was going to buy a new battery at Autozone. Told me the battery with warranty at Autozone was going to be $360 because he acted like he was calling Autozone. Took me to an ATM with his wife "Destiny" to take out the money "cash" because he was going to Autozone to buy the new battery with the warranty. He said the total price would be $450, I gave him $460 because I didnt have change for a $20. Came back with a used battery, didnt give me a receipt and then asked for $70 extra. I said I gave him all I had and that I needed the receipt. It's been almost a week and he hasn't brought any receipt. I finally got him on the phone and he said he would bring me a receipt from his "workshop". I said that wasnt the deal. He was supposed to get me a new battery from Autozone with a 3 year warranty. But he just brought a rebuilt battery, upcharged me like if it was a new one and never gave me the receipt. So now when that battery breaks down I cant claim a warranty. Plus I called Autozone and that battery with all the warranty and extra costs is only $320. No wonder he doesnt want to give me a receipt. He never bought the battery from Autozone. Autozone told me they dont have the battery serial number in their system and when I gave them his number, they said they dont have any recent purchases eith that number in their system. DO NOT TRUST THIS MAN!!!! UPDATE: to answer your comment posted below, I did take it to Autozone but they cant give me a receipt because you bought it. I need my receipt because the battery is supposed to have a 3 year warranty, what happens if I need to replace the battery in those three years? What receipt do I have to show?? Just by you saying "all because of a receipt" demonstrates the kind of businessman you are. Who doesnt give their clients a receipt? Someone who has something to hide, that's who. I'm taking you to court because I need the receipt for my warranty.

This man stole my money. He charged me $80 for changing a battery. Then he told me the new battery was $360 dollars. It wasnt a new battery and he never gave me a receipt for it. It's been 2 weeks and he ghosted me. He owes me a receipt. He says I owe him $70. I will not pay him until he gives me a receipt. Besides that he only paid Autozone $200 for the battery but upcharged me $360 plus $80 and now wants $70. He is a con artist. I reported him to the police and file a fraud report.

This guy is a terrible mechanic. He ghosted me after I bought a vehicle he said was "all good". I was 1000 miles from the vehicle. The truck had over 20 dents just in the passenger side bed. Over 60 in the whole truck. The hood and roof full of bondo. I specifically asked about the ball joints being good. He said yes. They have 8" of slop in both upper and lower on both sides. Brake rotors are toasted. Front of engine is leaking oil. He claims that's normal. I asked him why won't it pass a dot inspection it's not normal. You could hear his tone change and tell he didn't look at anything just took my $220. The carrier bearing had massive play totally shot you can hear it rattle. The output seal was leaking all over and totally dry rotted broke. All the weather strip on every window is bad. The vehicle had no headlight bulbs,fog light bulbs, 3rd brake light, or mirror turn signal bulbs. The passenger seatbelt was torn. Scratches all over. Leaking water pump. Honestly I'm not even going to list every issue it's frustrating and I hate to leave a bad review but I don't want this guy ripping someone off again. I should of saw the other bad reviews and took it as a sign. Forgot to also add he said : "well it's a 2019 what do you expect" I expected him to do his job and inspect the truck for me while I was 1000 miles away. I was being told by him and the dealer the vehicle was good condition. Edited because he called me a liar. I have no reason to lie, he's my first negative review. Here's the texts that he ghosted me from after I sent him videos and images. Maybe I should post the parts I bought too also. But the guy won't admit he's wrong so it's a waste of my time. Just a warning don't trust this guy to do a vehicle inspection. Personally I wouldn't trust him to do anything after speaking with him on the phone. I'm not a mechanic, but I'm a farmer and have to fix my own stuff all the time. I can rebuild motors, do suspension work, and body work. Speaking with him he's was either trying to lie to me or just a plain terrible excuse for a mechanic. By the way, I did re seal the front main, found the idler pulley is bad also. I did both upper and lower ball joints. Replaced front rotors and pads. Replaced the carrier bearing, rear output seal, and water pump. Installed headlights, fog lights, and rear cab light. Changed oil, fuel filter, which was filthy, and air filter. Oh plus 2 new batteries. So the truck is 100% mechanical now except for the idler pulley. It also passed a full inspection. Had this guy been competent it would have saved me thousands not to mention all the dents and shotty body work.
