My son need to have his car looked and thought it was the starter so we would have had it towed, seen the ad for the car guy and he came over and took care of it in less than an hour. Great price and great service.

Very fast and reliable mechanic, scheduled next day service, arrived on time and fixed my car at my house, he doesn't have to pay for a shop so his prices are awesome. I would recommend him definitely!

Nick did a wonderful job! This was my first time using a mobile mechanic so i was apprehensive but he fixed my car much sooner than i expected and the price was extremely reasonable:)

This "contractor" attempted to intimidate me with a cancellation fee for an appointment. I called to cancel the evening before and received a harassing phone call back to say there is normally a cancellation fee for appointments cancelled less than 24 hours in advance but it is being "waived" as a courtesy. If that is their policy that is fine. However, it is not stated on their Yelp site nor on their Facebook page. You cannot charge or claim you will charge fees that are not previously disclosed. Please read up on the RCW for small businesses in WA. Attempting to scam people out of money with hidden policy is not the way to make a living.

Such a lifesaver! Highly recommended if ur having car issues!! My actuator broke and he knew off top what was wrong when i described what my problem was. Also to put out there his schedule is VERY important to him. If you were to cancel an appointment with him and decided to schedule one with him in the future, you will need to put down a deposit before he comes out. Definitely saved his number in case my '06 magnum breaks down again.

On 02NOV2021 I had The Car Guy (I forgot his name already....Nate or Nick) perform an inspection on a truck I was interested in purchasing. He was very communicative about everything he was doing, he did a thorough inspection to include reading stored and live data, and was very upfront about everything regarding the truck. I did end up purchasing the truck, based solely on the result of his inspection. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in the area for any mechanic needs.

Nick is a professional I called, he had an opening, came out to the house,I was at work ,he called on his way I told him where the key was he diagnosed the issue really quickly.. let me know. I was able to get the parts and install them.only 2 days down, no towing,super reasonable I thought. Call this guy if you have car problems!

Nick was accommodating, on time and quickly (within 20 min.) replaced the shifter seat and bushing on my transmission. Honest , honest honest! What we all search for in a mechanic. He actually reduces the estimate cost as the job went faster than expected. My only regret is I didn’t tip more. Definitely will patronize again. Update: On 9/9/2021 I brought my Toyota in for a valve adjustment and a new fan belt installed. I went to Nick’s Tacoma shop rather than use his mobile mobile service this time. The work was complete in a few hours and a very fair cost. Nicks work was impeccable. Work was very clean, tight and to spec. If you need a trustworthy mechanic, I highly recommend him.

I highly recommend this mechanic (in fact I already have to several family members in the area!) Our car broke down- a few days before Christmas!- and we were having a hell of a time finding someone who was available to fix it anytime soon. We ended up reaching out to a different mechanic who came out on Sunday, diagnosed our car, said he would be back Monday and then never returned or answered our calls again .😔 Then I got in touch with The Car Guy 253 and he completely saved us! Wonderful customer service. He kept us updated and was able to get us an appointment within only a day or so after speaking to him. The last mechanic made sure to tell us that our alternator was "a pain to get to and would be very hard to change out" The Car Guy 253 showed up at our house, changed out the alternator and had the car done in less than an hour and didn't complain about the car once! Plus he is very reasonable with pricing. We are so grateful to have our car running again and we are already planning to hire The Car Guy again for future car needs! ☺

I had serious doubts, but new what I would get from a dealer so after reading Nick's reviews I gave him a shot. On 3/26/20 Nick came out to diagnose why my F350 V10 Quad Cab would turn over strong, but not start. Nick diagnosed that it was the fuel pump located inside the gas tank. Thankfully he decided that he could do it inside my garage so I didn't have to pay to have the 7000+ lbs truck towed to his garage in Tacoma. On 3/31/20 Nick arrived in the morning and 2 1/2 hours later my truck was running like a champ. I did verify what Mallon Ford would have charged me and it was considerably more, plus I would have had to tow it there. Not only do I have a new mechanic, I also don't ever have to arrange rides to and from another mechanic's location for the privilege of paying out the nose. Give Nick a try, you will not regret it.

Nick was timely, professional, knowledgable, and came to me so i saved the tow bill. He was right on with his time estimate and my car shifts SO much better after he replaced my shift cable. I definitely reccomend this "car guy" and his services! Update-my car totally took a dump and on short notice and in very little time he had me back on the road! Great communication and made a stressful situation much easier.

I've had a horrible experience bringing my car to the dealership. I don't know much about cars except to drive and park it. Trust and honesty went out the door. I was skeptical about using a mobile mechanic; however, I decided to give it a try for the convenience and the great reviews I read. I spoke with Nick who was friendly and knowledgeable. He did his research and answered all my questions, including pricing. On my appointment, Nick gave me next steps and answered more of my questions. He was honest about the time it would take to repair my vehicle (it ended being a shorter time than expected), and charged me accordingly based on the time and work he completed on my car. I would definitely refer Nick to my friends and family members. If you are like me, skeptical and had been ripped off by dealerships, give The Car Guy a try, you will not be disappointed. 🤗

My car kept stalling , had to jump start it and also get it towed to multiple Nissan dealerships . Unfortunately those Nissan dealerships could not figure out what was wrong with my car . They replaced the battery but that did not fix it . Finally I decided to take my car to Nick , he took his time , ran extensive diagnostics and was able to get to the root of my car issue. He replaced the car alternator and gave me a warranty. My car is now as good as brand new and now I am a happy camper . Highly recommend this mechanic . Thankyou Nick.

Nick was very knowledgeable and let me know what the issue was according to what he found on my car when scanning the codes , i wanted a second opinion on my car so Nick did give me some clues on what the problem was with my car and what it would cost. I'm very happy at least now I have some options on what to do with my car! If you are looking for an honest and fair mechanic , I would definitely recommend Nick he is not only honest but teaches you what parts of your car are functioning and gives you an estimate on what it would cost depending on what you are searching for.
