William or “Sven” worked hard and explained everything along the way. He got my wife’s Volvo back blowing COLD air and drained and changed the sludge out of the power steering pump. He even changed the cabin air filter that many people aren’t aware of. Thank you sir!
Im glad I found Will before I went to an auto shop. I know nothing about cars and Will explained what was causing my problem, how he was fixing it, and what I need to do to prevent problems in the future. The auto shop was about to overcharge me and probably wouldnt have fixed the issue. I would definitely recommend
He’s awesome. I called the night before and he was able to come to me the next afternoon. Definitely will be calling him the next time I need anything done to my car.
I called to get help and and the guy who answered was incredibly rude and said Id have to call back from a number that was not blocked. My cell phone shows up as blocked number and as I was trying to explain I had no other phone and car was stranded he rudely said call back from an unblocked number and hung up on me.
Who fixed my truck and got this Soldier home on a Sunday? A Good Mechanic did and he did a great job. Wills knowledge is astounding, but what stands him apart from others is that he goes the extra distance to ensure your vehicle runs at its best prior to you leaving. I highly recommend the chemical clean for your grills because I can attest you will come out with better gas mileage. Will can count on me as a return customer when the time comes.
This mechanic is one of the best that Ive been to. Hes extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and is a great communicator. I came in with what I thought was a specific problem, he educated me on how it was tied to multiple systems. While he was cleaning my throttle body, he showed me that even though I got an $800 brake job from another shop, less than 6 months ago, that they didnt even bother changing my brake fluid, which would have left me stranded because of its condition. He got me started on the process of flushing that system and walked me through the rest of the process in such a way that it was simple for me to understand inspite of my mental issues with directional modifiers. He also took the time to go over all of the other things on my vehicle that needed maintenance that were linked to my EVAP system that were causing my low rpms and oil pressure issues. Hes my first go to for this area for sure! Thanks again, youre a life saver!
Came to my business where my truck was broken down and got it running. Replaced the needed parts in the parking lot. Did a great job. I also learned a ton about car maintenance this afternoon!
Did a great job, was knowledgeable and good conversations while getting repaired. Engine coolant and Radiator replaced. Will go to him again.
If you want someone knowledgeable and honest hes your guy. He went above and beyond to help get our vehicle back on the road. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
Hes a busy man but for good reason. I was extremely frustrated with my cars situation and the gentleman guided me through what could be wrong. I am more informed and I can start figuring out the problem.
Guy is awesome! Helped me way more than what he charged and is a very knowledgeable resource for any auto repair issues you’ll have
A bit eccentric, but I learned a decent amount and got my cars internals cleaned up.
Very knowledgeable, quick, and efficient with the work they do, and sooo convenient. Would definitely use their services again
This is the best shop, you should use this business because it has the best customer service and you will never be dissatisfied . He also has the best rates all around.
Did an excellent job on my car and gave me a fantastic price. 10 out of 10 would recommend him.
There are mechanics and there are superstar mechanics. I have gone through several mechanics because I hold them to high standards. This guy is a superstar because he teaches you about how things should be done. He is a walking encyclopedia of processes, procedures, and how to maintain a car to get the most mileage and use out of it. Thorough, knowledgeable and didn’t talk to me like I’m an idiot because I’m a woman.
Will was very knowledgeable, honest, and fair. Would highly recommend getting his assessment and help on your car.
If only other mechanics were this honest and informative! Highly encourage people to use this locally owned business. William has a huge knowledge base and just wants to get your car fully functional. I’m never going to another mechanic.
William is not a mechanic. He’s a car whiz/doctor. He has a TON of knowledge and he’s super willing to share it. His price are also reasonable, and his mobile services make him a natural selection for anyone needing service now. Highly recommended.
Thanks to William for getting that Wiper Fluid pump replaced on such short notice!! Quick work!!
A Good Mechanic is what you want when you need car repairs. Very honest, knowledgeable and helpful. You can go somewhere else and get scammed or you can call him and get told the truth up front. Came in for a basic headlight repair and left with lots of knowledge and help. Thank you for being a great mechanic serving your area.
The service was great ! Arrived between the time window promised , super knowledgeable with vehicles and was able to fix my catalytic converter on a Sunday ! Would highly recommend and use again
He knows his stuff, he is very informative. He doesn’t just tell you what’s wrong with your vehicle, he tells you why it went out and how to prevent it in the future. His prices are fair and I will definitely be a returning customer for anything my vehicles need.
Great guy, saw that I wasn’t very knowledgeable with cars and took extra time to walk through some other things on my car and give me tips which he didn’t have to. Would absolutely call him again.
William is a very professional mechanic and has very reasonable rates. I was stranded on the side of the road and he made sure to get me tech information IMMEDIATELY when everywhere else was closed. Highly recommend and will definitely use again!
One of the best mechanics in town super down to earth guy he’s very informative with everything he does very knowledgeable with vehicles
Very wise and knows his stuff! Great Business attitude thank you! Will be calling for a ton of work, and referrals coming your way, may the most high Yahuah bless you!
Great guy hard to find an Honest mechanic that knows what they’re doing. Thanks for your time.
Very good mechanic. knows the latest technology to diagnose problems and repair.known Willie for at least 20 years. hes done all of my car repairs, great professional service, reasonable
Came over on Easter and changed my alternator. Told me countless secrets and tips about my car and cars in general, very knowledgeable guy and very reasonably priced. I could not recommend him more, 5 stars
Super honest and will definitely be calling him again for any work needed on our vehicles. Great rates as well. Will be recommending him to everyone!!! Thank you!
Will is a passionate practitioner of his craft. He values preventive maintenance, and acts as your ally to prevent major repairs from being required down the road. Hes available at convenient times and charges a price thats more than fair for the quality of service he provides. Ive hired him to service my vehicle twice now, and have been impressed with the level of service and value he has brought to me and my car.
I’m not the most knowledgeable about cars and MANY mechanics tend to take advantage of that. However, he was VERY knowledgeable and willing to explain to me EXACTLY what was wrong and how to fix it. He inspected my car for a couple leaks that would’ve costed me $1000s to fix but ended up finding ONE small leak (THE REAL PROBLEM) that he could fix for for about a fifth of that, as well as, refill some fluids and fix some motor mounts all included. He also made me AC VERY COLD!!! Great guy and loves keeping a conversation while doing the job and is reasonably priced!!! 10/10
William did an outstanding job fixing my vehicle. I highly recommend him. He is the most efficient and affordable mechanic Ive been used! And he can come to you so you dont have to pay for a tow truck.
Reasonably priced, and very helpful. He showed up ready, seemed to know what the problem was based on the info I gave him on the phone. Then he gave me tips like how to clean that yellow off the headlights.
Best mechanic ever! Got my car running perfectly! Great work, fair price, and I will not take my car to anyone else!!
William is extremely knowledgeable and happy to explain everything he does.Very happy with my service and Ill be sure to contact him again as well as recommend him to others.
William knows his stuff and has the patience to truly explain what needs to be done. After many mechanics trying to convince me to spend major repairs on my older vehicle, he lays out plain and simple the needs and possibilities of future repairs. I trust his opinion, honesty, and know he has the knowledge to depend on.
William was a great help from the start. Is willing to help you get in touch with the right people who know what theyre doing. Also will answer all your questions and give you plenty of advice for your future car needs.
I found his number on google and gave him a call. My car was leaking gas and even though he works by appointment only, he determined that it was an emergency and met me instantly. He did everything he could to figure out the problem. He also educated me quite a bit while doing so. I had my son with me and he was extremely patient when he started to get antsy and tired. As a female, i hate taking my car to the shop. They always try to get to buy this and change this when i only came in for one thing. Will didn’t do that AT ALL!! Which i appreciated the most. He even sent follow up texts etc hours later. He will definitely be my go to from now on.
I was in a rush to get my car diagnosed and fixed for a rattle in my engine bay. so rather than go to my family’s trusted mechanic of many years, i made the horrible decision to call Will over to get a diagnosis of my vehicle. Before arriving he let me know that it’d be $75 cash upfront for a 10min transit to my home, and one hour of his time, with a promised “full inspection”.When he arrived he listened to the noise for about a minute. he took my engine cover off, looked down about where the noise was coming from, and proceeded to show me articles unrelated to the make and model of my vehicle. told me to do some things through NHTSA in hopes of getting a “free” new motor for my vehicle, but once i put the vin to my vehicle in there, there was no recalls. called hyundai, nothing they could do.(id like to mention that my engine was touched maybe 5x during the 18 minutes he was at my home “inspecting” it. no stethoscope.)When i texted him back after he had left to lethim know and to see if he could come back togive me a proper diagnosis so i could take the right steps in getting my vehicle on the road, he asked for some more information, and even said “it is an automatic, right?” after i had mentioned my misfires in 6th gear, and mentioned that i had just replaced my CLUTCH cable. He said he could come back later, never did, repeated with the same thing sending me articles that weren’t helping.today i took it to B&M automotive to a trusted mechanic (leeroy), they diagnosed what they could for free, and took my vehicle in to start service tomorrow morning.i messaged will back today asking for a PARTIAL refund so i can put that towards proper maintenance for my vehicle. as of right now, i’ve heard nothing back. i paid for FULL inspection, 1hr of his time, and the transit. i got 18 minutes, and a few looks in my engine bay. i’m more than happy to pay for the transit, regardless of the quality of work i appreciate that his services are mobile. definitely feel like he saw a young “naive” girl, and took advantage of this. $75 may not seem like much, but to an 18yr old college student, it makes all the difference.There’s many good reviews which is why i was hopeful, however, i am very disappointed. if you decide to call him, just make sure you’re very straight forward, and get what you pay for. No harsh feelings towards the mechanic himself he was nice with a very uplifting personality, i just wish there was good things to say about the services i paid for/“received”.
Will is a knowledgeable and passionate when it comes to his work. He is super patient and was accessible when all other mechanics were closed. I called him around 8pm because my car would not start and he was there! He went above and beyond to help me. Izzy is back up and running ! He also values preventive maintenance and will inform you on ways to help prolong the life of your car. His price is very fair and I’m so glad I found him! I will definitely be using him for all of my future car needs and would recommend him to anyone. Don’t hesitate to call!
William cares about his work and he alsomakes sure you are getting the very best partbefore installing it in your vehicle. How great is that ? Very few people cares like he does.I can honestly say I would like for him to be working on my old truck from here on.
Although Will was prompt and willing to educate thoroughly on the make/model of my vehicle unfortunately, he was not able to resolve the issue. He was very personable, however, I felt we assisted with the entire 5 hour process just to be told to take my vehicle to a Honda specialist who has the correct database to check equipment. Will charges by the hour so midway through the process, I would have hoped he would mentioned this as we were under the assumption we were receiving a diagnostic. I spent over $200 in parts and $375 in labor and my car is still taken apart and still not working. Will tried his best at fixing my vehicle and provided great maintenance tips but still could not steer us in the right direction as to what the issue could be.
This guy has some skills Ive never seen before in any mechanic. He fixed my Audi electrical issue in one day after it sat at two other garages for over 6 weeks
Great service and explanation of my car issues!
Excellent job. He did a transmission flush on the spot. Fast and efficient. Id recommend him to all my friends and family.
William has repaired automobiles of mine, as well as motorcycles. He is very intelligent, and has alot of knowledge and experience. He is an excellent mechanic. He does great wotk and offers great service. I highly recommend.
I learned so much about my SUV and what to check on it, felt very safe as a woman having repairs done in my driveway, and would highly recommend A Good Mechanic.
He’s super knowledgeable and helpful. he is able to adapt to an environment to get the job thoroughly and efficiently. I never worry about the work he does!
There are mechanics, and there are superstar mechanics. I have went through several mechanics because I hold them to high standards. This guy is a superstar mechanic because he teaches you about how things should be and should be done. He in a walking encyclopedia of processes, procedures, and products. This man is a giant among mechanics. He works fast and charges reasonable rates.
Ive known William for quite some time. Hes worked on most of my vehicles in the past and saved me from some very costly dealership work that I couldnt afford. Ive seen him fix problems that others couldnt fix. Ive also seen him do some work on vehicles I thought were beyond repair.
I was staying at a hotel where I saw Williams truck in the parking lot working on another car. My 2010 diesel F250 (still new to me) was making some disconcerting sounds and I decided to take advantage of the opportunity to ask him what his schedule was like.He agreed to check it out on the hottest part of one of the hottest days in Texas. He not only gave a quick explanation for the original issue, but he was communicative and took the time to educate me about my first diesel, really my first truck.He quickly identified several other issues that would cause me problems down the road and all told, I am glad I stopped him to ask about that little squeal that was starting to annoy me. His rate is fair, but be warned he will yell at you if you deserve it and if it can prevent you from dealing with being stranded on the side of the road hauling your Airstream home behind you.Hey, Im okay with getting yelled at if it saves me from a major disaster. The only reason Im holding back on 5 stars is I need to see if hes really up to the task of helping me learn more about diesel engines and how to take care of them. Thanks for your time today, William!
William did an amazing job on my 2006 Toyota Corolla. Highly recommend him for all auto repairsm
Cool dude, and super helpful. Gave very good advice and warned me off buying a bad car
This guy knows his stuff. His honesty can be somewhat acerbic, but his integrity more than makes up for it.
William did an outstanding job working on my GMC Sierra 1500. He replaced my front brake pads, front rotors, flushed my brake lines, transmission fluid exchange and filter replacement, replaced the air filter, and rotated my tires. Overall I am extremely satisfied with the work he did on my truck. I am very satisfied with the work that he did at a reasonable price.
Fast and great service! Very knowledgeable appreciate the lessons! 10/10 would recommend!
He was fast and reasonable prices. I was back on the road in no time.
“A Good Mechanic” is a top-notch mechanic. He is down to earth and very professional in executing the job. He brought my Honda back to life after changing the transmission fluid, power steering fluid, and the coolant thermostat. One thing l love about him is the education he gives to you concerning how you can maintain your car to avoid unnecessary repair expenses. I will recommend him for all your auto problems ( Emma from Ghana).
He was detailed and extremely knowledgeable about the vehicle. He was not just a mechanic but a teacher. I have a 2007 Tundra with 148500 miles and it had an issue accelerating to highway traffic speed. He quickly diagnosed the issue and corrected the problem. Then proceeded to clean the battery terminal connections, refurbished the headlights, cleaned all three radiators, changed the front brake rotors, and cleaned the air intake. All in less than 3 hours. He gave me a list of items that I need to do to make sure the vehicle can go 300000 miles. I plan to make that happen and if there are any issues, he will be the only guy to work on the truck.
He cares on what he does. Very professional ! I will recommend him to everyone!
Great service. Very knowledgeable and trustworthy
Was a great guy,didnt try to sell me something I didnt need.will definitely be back.
Dudes legit and prompt...came here for fanfair with my group to perform and got to motel to check in and my truck caught fire a rear...and in about 30 min he had found the corporate....,🤘🤘🤘🤘
I was stranded on the side of road and he went out his way to not only change my tire, but he checked under my engine
Showed up within minutes of calling, Very professional and helpful
Very fast and honest mechanic
He showed me the extra steps of car maintenance
William replaced the electric brakes (two axles so four brakes) on our 2014 Sonic travel trailer. For various reasons wed had brake problems from day one. After replacement, they worked like a charm and it was a relief to know that it was one less thing Id have to worry about in the future.
Conscientious and helpful. Call ahead so he can fit you in 😊
Good mechanic and well equipped
Does great work and reasonable!!!
Most brilliant, genius mechanic ever!
Rude. Not good
Knowledgeable and honest 🙂
Great service!!
Horrible....
Best mechanic Ive been too ! He fixed an issue I was having with my jeep wrangler when no one else wanted to try fixing it. He as well found two other issues that I had no idea about and resolved those issues for an affordable price. Besides just fixing these problems he educated me in so much that as a young women I had no idea about car maintenance and now I am a lot more informed and educated about things happening with my vehicle and how to prevent many issues that could occur.Thank you Good Mechanic.

2022-06-18Will is outstanding. He was very quick to respond and helped me get home when my starter went out. He came to meet me in a parking lot on an extremely hot day and he worked for hours to make sure I got home. He is very thorough, honest, and knowledgeable. He replaced my starter and charged me a very fair price especially considering how tedious the job was. I will definitely be using his services again for any future auto repair/maintenance issues.
Review №2
2022-08-21Don’t let negative reviews steer you away. Will may not be the best at client interaction, but give him a chance anyway. He diagnosed a dead starter in my Jeep. Service was super fast and price was reasonable. He charges an hourly rate for his time. He is a direct, no-nonsense mechanic.
Review №3
2022-07-24Best mechanic I’ve ever had! I really appreciate that he took the time to educate me on what I can do to maintain and extend the life of my vehicle. He’s a genuine dude & his prices were more than fair. I know my car is in good hands here & I will definitely be a returning customer :)

2022-09-05I called A Good Mechanic while broken down on the side of the road. He was very assertive and helpful, having not only mechanical info, but knowledge about helpful towing procedures etc, auto parts. He diagnosed my ball joint and lower control arm accurately by pic and video. He really comes across to me as one of those old school get the job done kind of guys....the kind you want working on your vehicle.
Review №5
2022-09-03This mechanic is excellent, fair, and knowledgeable. He was willing to come over and fix a mistake I made that caused a lot of grief. I doubt any dealership would have been willing to help and certainly not for such a fair price. Quick phone response time too! Highly recommended.

2022-05-09I wish I could give a 0 to this unprofessional person.I won’t even waste my time writing a long review.DO NOT CONTACT THIS PERSON.He probably wrote all of his own good reviews.I called him and he told me my car needed an oil change and charged me 95 to come look at. He told me to drive to his place when the engine light was on for an oil change or he would charge me ANOTHER 95 to come and change it. I am a young girl with an MBA and do not know anything about cars. I was trusting the worst person.My car of course stopped in the middle of the road and he wasn’t answering his phone SURPRISE.my money was STOLEN from this guy.I paid to listen him talk like crazy when I just wanted my car fixed.

2022-09-20Super awesome guy, very friendly and quick service, extremely knowledgeable on all things auto mechanics. My radiator fan blew and he had me all fixed up and good to go in less than an hour! He even hooked me up when he saw my coolant hose was busted real bad! I certainly plan on using his services again!
Review №8
2022-06-04Will was very knowledgeable and through. Not only did he do my brakes but also took the time to check other things such as cleaning my battery terminals and providing useful maintenance tips. I will definitely return for any future repairs/maintenance.
Review №9
2022-06-12A Good Mechanic is fantastic. He did a pre inspection on a truck my son was buying. He was VERY detailed in both his inspection and in explaining. Once he gave it the ok, we felt comfortable with the purchase. Will definitely use him again and would absolutely recommend his service.

2022-07-31Will was amazing! Able to help me out on the spot. Replaced my battery within 10 mins and gave me a great deal on cleaning out my dirty fan me AC. Looks brand new now, truly appreciate the service!
