Steve’s Mobile Repair

Second time I used Steve, and haven’t been disappointed yet. He is knowledgeable, experienced, and efficient.
He was also very reasonable which I find appreciative. He is the only mechanic I will use at this time.

My husband and I have used Steve for 6 years, he kept our old cars going until they both died and continues to work on our new vehicles! Steve is quick to respond, honest & a darn good mechanic. I have taken my car to the dealers while under warranty & been told about extra work, I bring the work order to Steve he checks it all out & tells me the TRUTH of what REALLY needs fixing. Steve’s prices are good, he uses nothing but the best equipment & parts and even shows you what he’s used. Finding a good honest mechanic is very personal, it’s like finding a good doctor, or hairdresser. We have recommended Steve to family & friends & they agree he’s great! When there is a job that requires the car being lifted he recommends great, well priced shops to take your vehicle too. He really is about helping others. I only hope he doesn’t plan on retiring any time soon! Definitely try Steve out, he’s worth it! Our cars run very well thanks to Steve.

After trying 2 other mobile mechanics and having a
negative experience I was fortunate to find Steve. He was on time, quickly diagnosed the problem with state of the art equipment which the other mobile service didn’t have, and repaired my van. It was obvious that he had vast experience. Very reasonable. No need to call any other mobile service in the East County. Highly recommend you give Steve a try and avoid the hassle I went through.

Great service. Called on Sunday and he was out within 2 hours. Got me up and running with a fair price. Looked over a few extra things made recommendations on my car care. Definitely will be using them again.

2 stars is perfectly accurate for this business. Which is, «Meh, I’ve experienced better.»
The owner, Steve himself is a VERY nice guy! Personable and talkative. However, the rest leaves something to be desired.
After he arrived at my work to fix my fathers car, he immediately started diagnosing! Great! I love a go-​getter! So, we chatted about some theories; exchanged what info I knew about the car and then I said, «I have to go back to work, you still have my cell, right? When you find the problem, give me a call and we can decide what to do from there.»
30 or 40 minutes later I am walking back with some water for him and he got the car running! My initial reaction is, WTF?! I didnt authorize any repairs… So, I talk to him, he explains what the issue was and how he happened to have the part in his truck. Then before even telling me how much, he wants to look at something else on my car… I ask, «What price are we at now?» He thinks for a bit, throws $ 200 at me… so I say, ‘No more repairs.” At this time, and AFTER the repairs is when he writes up a repair order. Nice… fix my dads car THEN give me paperwork telling me how much it is.
Not cool But, I am nice thank him for his time and pay. At least my dads car is fixed.
He could have got 4 stars if he would have just told me first how much it was, BEFORE he repaired it. Because he was quick and friendly. Just not a good business man.

I have used this guy for over 25 years he is honest. I lady who wrote the review is crazy and from another country and wants its free am sure. Steve’s Mobile Repair has been in business for over 35 yrs in el cajon. He must be doing something correct.
Any business that has had the same phone number for years and a good name at the parts stores and dealerships is ok by me.

So my headlight went out, and after replacing it three times to no avail we figured it was an electrical problem. I called this guy to fix it, and he came a little late (which is forgivable). He changed the fuse (after he broke one), and re-​plugged in my headlight, and it was fixed. All of this took less than thirty minutes. I asked him how much the work would cost, and he told me $ 85 per hour, and he charged more the full hour even though he worked less than thirty minutes. I was especially unhappy since i had to remove my filter, put it back on, and close my hood since he didn’t. To top it of, he also charged me for the fuse he broke. If you are looking for someone trustworthy who wont rip you off, look elsewhere.
