Thank God for Ronnie. He came to Sheetz parking lot after 8pm and got my 2023 Bronco Sport back on the road as good as new after experiencing some damage to my Heat Shield underneath my vehicle. Thank you thank you thank you. I just found my mechanic. Highly recommend, he knows his stuff and he’s fair.

One star because zero stars wasn’t an option. If you decide to use this “company” make sure you test drive your vehicle before paying this man because you’ll never hear from him again.

I have a maserati so initially i was a little apprehensive, but Pat was prompt professional , and did great work. I use him exclusively from now on

Sep 05, 2024

Very professional! Was able to get to my vehicle the same day. Very trustworthy as I was not able to be at my car due to work but he did the job and had my car back on the road! I was pretty certain I knew the problem but he made sure to diagnose it first before just jumping in! Prices were very Very reasonable and I would recommend this company every chance I get!! Thank you RVA mobile mechanics for saving my life this week!!

Go somewhere else is your best bet, they will leave you hanging.

I had a good experience working with them! I connected them because I had an airbag light turn on. Shawn was able to come out to do a diagnostic($45). After about 30 minutes, he found out the problem was my Clockspring. Sadly, he wasn't able to fix it because the part we needed wasn't sold in the store, but nevertheless, he gave me peace of mind knowing what was wrong. The only thing I wish was better was being able to know exactly what time he was coming just so that I'm not sitting at home waiting all day. Other than that, the service was great, and I'll be back if something happens with my car again

Thank you so much! Very professional service. My truck was brought back to life and is back on the road!

Highly Recommend! RVA saved me money! I could not get to Richmond to help my daughter with her car. We thought the starter was bad. I arranged with Pat at RVA to pick up a starter and go replace it. When he arrived, he immeadiately noticed it was just poor cabling/connectors on the battery. Pat fixed that quickly and and saved me money! If you're a Dad and need a trusting person to help your family...RVA MM is the right call!!!

Replaced a serpentine belt on my Audi a6. Pat was clear, helpful, efficient, and correctly diagnosed my car. I highly recommend Pat and pricing was more than fair.

Jun 05, 2024

Pat was very efficient and quick to come help me. He was able to do the job I hired him for and was in and out within an hour. I’ll definitely call him again if I ever need a mobile mechanic!

Jun 05, 2024

Used twice. First experience great. Second one not so much. Needed window fixed was supposed call with quote. No call back no text.

Jun 05, 2024

Very good service and reliable. Did a great service on my 2013 Nissan Maxima. Got my running up and running again like new. Definitely recommend his services.

Good service

Best money I ever spent- I have an old ambulance that lost power and wouldn’t start, they dug through all the unusual ambulance electrical and had it up and running in 30 min and even took the time to answer my questions as they were working. As a woman mechanics can be very judgmental, especially about diesel vehicles and Pat was great. WAY better than towing it somewhere, definitely will be my new goto mechanic. Thanks for getting me back in the road Pat!

Had a spark plug fouling out it my truck after we parked the camper (400 miles from home). Called Patrick at rva mobile mechanics gave me a great price for just the one plug replacement and had someone to the campground with in the hour to get it swapped out for me. Thank you again Patrick

No honesty, trust and believe me. Do not do business with the girl AMY, PERIOD

Dec 05, 2023

PAT is amazing and has always serviced my vehicles!!!

Dec 05, 2023

Pat was great. Quick diagnosis of the problem and went to get parts. Returned and was done within an hour. Thank you !

Dec 05, 2023

RVA really came to the rescue with replacement of tires for my car on a moment's notice. I highly recommend their services as Pat and his team are courteous, honest and professional!

Dec 05, 2023

The mechanic was very professional and very knowledge. I will not hesitate to use Paul again, or call RVA Mobile Mechanic

Dec 05, 2023

They did not replace the oil filter that I had purchased I checked after paying the next day and it was the same one on there as there was before. Also charged me for a service that he supposedly already repaired and said he wouldn't charge me if I had any problems with it in the future which was a lie

Dec 05, 2023

Very fast to get here and diagnose the problem. Will probably call again when I have car problems again.

Dec 05, 2023

We had a great experience with Amy. She kept in contact with us as she was in route to us. She quickly identified the issue with why our car was stuck in neutral and would not shift into gear. She was friendly, personable and educated us about the issue and her plan for fixing it. She also gave us information on safe websites to order car parts. The cost for the repair was reasonable considering that she traveled to us. I introduced her to my daughter who lives in the area and in need of a mobile mechanic. She will be using this mechanic for future repairs. I highly recommend her!

Yeah right, if you read through the reviews you may see this theme repeats itself... So, I was originally quoted $50 but then it went to $80 as they said I was "out of area." I didn't know any better so I agreed. They said they would perform a diagnostic of what I suspected was a front crankshaft seal leak which according to them should've taken 15 minutes. Technician was hours late, showed up wearing an office suit and in a small personal vehicle loaded with basic tools (perhaps I was expecting a pickup truck with like Knapheide tool boxes but ok, one doesn't need a big shop to conduct a quick diagnosis I figured) but then... Our conversation was generally dissociated, he appeared confused and disoriented... Couldn't remember what was wrong with the vehicle (stating fuel pump issues), I explained it was the oil leak front crankshaft seal? Oh yeah.... Bit more banter, he starts talking about the muffler and catalytic converter, here I wonder if this guy was mentally capable... Appeared unsteady on his feet and lost as if he lacked clear direction in terms of what he should be doing next, finally unloaded a floor jack... Still playing around inside his vehicle, mumbling about tools, then comes out unwrapping the wires from a multi-meter, at this point I asked him what he was doing? He said something about ac/dc and diagnostics, I said it's an OIL LEAK not an electrical problem. He stands there with a blank look, I'm like "oil leak, front crankshaft seal?" He then starts talking about the rates I was quoted, I said yes $80 and he said those were from yesterday and started hinting towards $130... At this point I lost it (mostly because "yesterday" was Sunday and they don't work Sundays), and maybe I overreacted but I told him I didn't want him working on my vehicle especially since we were already 20 minutes into it and he hadn't even done anything and I was afraid he'd start taking things apart in his state of confusion I'd shortly end up with a vehicle that would never run again (or at least not without great expense). He then says he showed up so he still has to get paid because by law (his words) it would be construed as theft of service. I asked him if he wanted to call the law (and in a tone suggested he should!) and he hesitated. He was wondering why the antagonism, I told him I'd get him his stinking money but he can pack up and go. So I paid him his $80 for doing absolutely nothing since he low key threatened me ("theft of service") so I sure hope it was worth it. I highly suspect this guy was on some kind of mind-altering medication (whether prescribed or otherwise) as I simply can't explain the dissociation, confusion and disorientation otherwise but I wouldn't trust this guy to work on anything of mine, I seriously wonder if he even knows what he is doing and I certainly will never call this company again.

An an absolute savior. Great quality work all the way around! I called and Patrick arrived in less than hour. He sourced the issue (bad water pump) and had it fixed on the spot :) would definitely recommend

Dec 05, 2022

Awesome job replace my thermostat. Thank you for your quick response!

Dec 05, 2022

Fast response within 45 minutes and proper diagnostic of the problem.

Dec 05, 2022

I had a cylinder misfire. Pat showed up within twenty minutes for a tune up. One part was difficult to obtain same day but he took the initiative of ordering it for immediate pickup following morning. After replacing all spark plugs and gaskets, he did not charge any extra labor for installing an ignition coil next day. Runs like new!

Dec 05, 2022

Patrick was great

Dec 05, 2021

A guy from the company came and put my altanator on he didn’t put the pieces back together my car still isn’t starting and he didn’t call and tell me that he was finish .. He also left my keys in my unlocked car

Dec 05, 2021

Battery and alternator. Personality- Super nice guy! Work- he (Pat) was to fix battery and Alternator. Fixed battery one day and alternator another day. Was hard to get him on the phone but chucked it up to he’s a busy man working on others cars. Long story short he ended up breaking other parts to my car. Could NOT get a hold of him to fix it. Based off his politeness I really do wish i could say I would call him again in the future but he won’t answer! That pic is the end of our convo. Never to be heard of again.

Dec 05, 2021

Did a quick diagnosis of the car and found the Starter was no longer viable. Also gave a warning about other parts that are on their way out, or require replacement. Was professional and had fair pricing. Finished same day.

Dec 05, 2021

He replaced my alternator the next day my Serpentine belt popped because he never put the screws back in correctly and left pieces Nat screw back in the car is Matt tension pulley to break he also didn’t let me know that I needed fluid because he had to take my radiator out to put my alternator in my car start a run and hide the next day I called him on October 6 to replace the The serpentine belt I was willing to even pay him he came started the job and pretty much left after he confirmed the appointment and I’ve been waiting all day I said to give him a call cause he had to reschedule due to it getting dark which he knew that prior to coming call him the next day and I get no answer highly do not recommend

Dec 05, 2021

I wouldn’t trust this clown enough to work on my bicycle. Do NOT use this guy.

Dec 05, 2021

Pat of RVA Mobile Mechanics was a life saver. I just moved here from Florida and was traveling between Arlington and Virginia Beach when my altinator quit. He showed up within 15 mins of my call and had a new 1 in in less than 45 mins. Highly recommend using this company very professional and experienced everything you could ask for being stranded on a Sunday!!! He worked on my 2008 Ford Expedition never seen it done in such a timely manner until today. Thank you!!!!

We scheduled an appointment on Friday evening they said they'd be by in 25 minutes an hour later I called them to find out that they weren't going to make it out. They then set up an appointment for Saturday morning at 9 a.m.. at 10 a.m. I called them and they said they'd be there in 25 minutes they never showed up never called us. I ended up having to go somewhere else to have my daughter's car looked at. I will never do business with them again
