I needed a new battery delivered and installed in my Jeep. Despite the fact that the first booking was a no-show, it turned out fine. Marco and Tico from Tico's Finest showed up and put the new battery in quickly and efficiently. Both guys were very professional, polite and friendly. Great service!

My experience was great. Sergio not only arrived the same day I booked-he did a great job bc he pointed out another issue and didn't push to service, just inform. Who needs a shop mechanic? Not me. I will stick with Instant Car Fix-5 stars.

Instant Car Fix is the future of car repair. I booked an appointment online, and a mechanic was at my door the next morning. He was professional and efficient, and he made sure the repair was done right the first time. I’ll definitely be using this service again.

Had my water pump replaced quickly and professionally. The mechanic was on time, honest, and explained everything clearly. Fair pricing, no surprises . Excellent service —I’d absolutely recommend them to anyone needing reliable car repair !

Short version: I liked my experience, and would use this service again. But I think this service might be expensive compared to other options due to how it does things, so if that's important to you, maybe look elsewhere. Long version: I had an issue with one of the car battery terminals that bricked my car. (The bit crimped on to the wire sheared off the terminal somehow = battery was completely disconnected from the wire). I didn't want to pay to tow it since it seemed like a simple-ish fix, but also didn't want to do the work myself because Not My Thing. (Believe me). Enter the idea of mobile mechanics. I had a question about what action/category to select when setting up an appointment, so I called the contact/support number from the website. Got connected in a few seconds, spoke with someone, and they had me send a picture via email. I waited a bit, and then I called back. They then verified which thing I should select when setting up the appointment. Fast forward to the next day (doesn't seem like same-day was an option, but next-day was good enough for me), and I got an automated text a bit before the mechanic showed up, and then also when he arrived. When the mechanic came, we talked for a bit, and he did the thing. In chatting with him, I learned a bit more about how the platform works. Seems like mechanics in an area can use the app to pick up work, kind of like Uber drivers can take rides, I guess (?). Or something like that. So it scales. At any rate, he did the work, we took before/after pictures, made sure everything was good (turned on the car), and then that was that. After he submitted the work package thing on the platform's mechanic app and drove off, I got a phone call from the office people within like 2 minutes asking how things went and if I had any feedback/concerns. I was impressed with the automated systems for booking, updating you when the mechanic is about to arrive/has arrived, and submitting evidence of the completion of the work via the platform's mechanic app (e.g., the before/after photos show up on the automated receipt). I like that this is a well-designed platform, not just a one-man show sort of thing. It led to a very convenient user experience. It made my software-developer brain happy. The customer service was also good (like the call to confirm things went well, and them helping me with my initial question). I didn't get routed around phone menus or have to sit on hold. Only downside is the price. It seems to be fixed (rather than depending on what parts the mechanic actually buys/how long things actually take). So there was a parts charge and a labor charge, and those were fixed/static. Pros: you know how much it will cost upfront. That's pretty useful. Cons: for my particular situation, this was probably like $70 more expensive than it needed to be, because of the inflexibility of this setup. So you might end up overcharged for things. Google-fu told me the specific thing I was paying for was probably $10 for parts and 20 minutes of labor or so. I still paid more than $150 for it. (But hey, I didn't have to do it myself, so no chance of me messing it up. Which was sort of the whole point). Even so, I'd probably still use this service again. I just think this is probably not the cheapest option, if that is something important to you.

Instant Car Fix gave me such peace of mind. My car wouldn’t start, and I was stuck at home with no idea what to do. They sent a mechanic the same day who quickly figured out the issue and fixed it on the spot. He was professional and very respectful. It felt great not having to worry about getting my car to a shop. I’ll absolutely be using this service again.

Sergio was punctual, polite, and obviously experienced. He showed me the new parts to make sure it was what I ordered, and he showed me his tools and diagnostic equipment to assure me he was fully prepared for whatever was needed for my job. He went right to work and was very organized and fast. He showed me the old parts and allowed me to test drive it before he left. If I ever need another mobile service, I will be requesting Sergio!

This service exceeded my expectations. The mechanic took the time to diagnose the issue correctly and explained it in simple terms. He completed the repair carefully and checked everything before leaving. I didn’t feel rushed at any point. The ability to stay home while my car was fixed made the whole experience much easier.

Sergio did an outstanding job replacing my brake pads and rotors. He was knowledgeable, efficient, and kept me informed throughout the process. My brakes are now working perfectly, and the service was top-notch. Highly recommend Sergio for any automotive needs!
