He’s fantastic, very fast, very knowledgeable, great customer service, got me in and out, definitely honest and worth going to, don’t listen to people saying he charges too much, it’s market rate if not better!

Smart Mobile Auto Repair did a pre-purchase inspection for me. I was located in another state and found a vehicle online in their service area. The selling dealer represented the vehicle as having no issues and “meticulously maintained with pampered miles”. Smart Mobile tech did a thorough inspection and found many issues. Photos were included as well, showing the bumper did not match the front of vehicle. Paying the reasonable fee for their services helped me to avoid disaster by not buying a lemon.

Excellent service and fast turn around. Guillermo is a fast and knowledgeable mechanic and got me back on the road quickly when I was in a pinch. Thank you again!

I can confidently say that Guillermo is the best mechanic I've ever come across! From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough. He took the time to thoroughly assess the issue, explaining everything in detail; his communication and honest approach gave me complete confidence. His expertise is clear, and I felt completely at ease knowing my vehicle was in such capable hands. Not only did he fix the problem efficiently, but he also went above and beyond to ensure everything was running smoothly. If you're looking for a reliable, trustworthy mechanic, Guillermo is the one to go to! Highly recommend!

I called Smart Mobile repair on a Wednesday morning. I received an estimate for repairs within 15 mins of my initial call, which came super convenient, right to my iPhone. I approved the estimate and paid a small deposit for my repair parts online. I took the first available appointment, which was the following day. I had a technician at my driveway the next morning and my car was fixed before lunch. Saved me a ton of time at a very reasonable price.

I work in this industry and i have to say that guermo is a very honest and reliable technician…he does the job right the first time and always lets you know what your paying before he does anything to your car…I highly and I mean highly recommend taking you automotive needs Here..also Samantha is very friendly and professional I appreciate the both of them

The best repair shop. I highly recommend!!! Guillermo is very knowledgeable, honest and operates with integrity. He always takes the time to answer any questions I may have, and provides me with all the options available-from repair to replacement. As a woman, it can be difficult to find mechanics you can trust with your vehicle, specially if you know nothing about cars. It has been my go to mechanic for over 10 years. Also, Samantha is super nice, greets you with a genuine smile!

I chose this shop for my head cover gasket repair and new brake pads because they had good reviews and cost half the price as the other shops I called. When I brought it in they gave me a “free inspection”, which I accepted because I didn’t care but I’ve already had it inspected and was just doing my repairs in segments for financial reasons. They told me they only change brake pads with the rotors as a “shop policy” ($600) despite telling me that my rotors looks great. They also told me the same thing the last shop did- that I also need my wheel bearing fixed. The quote I got for all 3 things was well over $1000, which seems to be the case every time I go to an auto shop. I’m sensitive and cry easily, so that also generally happens when I take my car in- this was no exception. They weren’t able to get my parts that day so I left with an appointment to come back. I got a call 30 mins after leaving from the lady at the desk basically breaking up with me, saying they didn’t think they were the right shop for me since 1) I was clearly upset 2) didn’t want to do all the repairs they quoted me for and 3) questioned the billing so I must not trust them. I explained how I was crying because I was overwhelmed, explained my situation, stated that it’s normal for people to question billing (particularly solo females in auto shops), and that I’ve never heard of an auto shop that only works on cars if they agree to do all of the recommended repairs at once. I felt very confused why they didn’t want to do the head cover gasket like we already agreed upon and scheduled, and all the reasons she gave didn’t make sense. Anyway, she finally said they’d work on my car and thanked me for listening/explaining. Definitely weird but I didn’t want to go to another shop because of the reasonable price and also because I’m moving to the east coast in a week. I decided to let them do the wheel bearing as well but they said they couldn’t add it because “it was sealed” - not sure what that means but I knew I was taking my car elsewhere for brake pads so I didn’t bother clarifying. So they repaired my gasket cover as scheduled. It took 2 hours longer than their estimate and they do not do pick ups or drop offs so I had to Uber each way. Anyway, I was relieved it was done and I could move on- until I started my car the next day to go to work and every warning light was on. I texted the shop a picture and asked if maybe they bumped a sensor and they responded with the picture attached. I found their communication unprofessional in both of these scenarios, but their price (for the gasket cover, not the brakes or bearing) would still have me considering returning as a customer. But I didn’t trust their inspection since the lights had only been on since they touched it and they responded so aggressively/defensively, so I had Love Auto Repair look at it while they did my brake pads and wheel bearing. You know what’s crazy? They left a sensor detached- hence all the lights. Between the break up call in the beginning and their insensitive response to a car issue they caused, I would not recommend going to this shop. Love Auto Repair dropped me off, picked me up, fixed the sensor with no charge, didn’t force me to change perfectly good rotors when all I needed were brake pads, gave me a better wheel bearing repair price, AND communicated professionally. I hate to leave negative reviews for small businesses, but reviews are pretty worthless if we only leave positive ones so here’s my honest opinion. Hope it helps! Comment response: I’m not promoting anything. I don’t personally know anyone in the area, let alone in either auto shop (I’m a travel nurse). I leave honest reviews because I use others’ reviews to choose where I go. I didn’t not leave this when upset- this is my genuine, unemotional opinion. I did not take my car back to them for the lights because, as seen in pic, they were defensive and would potentially charge me just to look. It’s clear from their reply that they’ll continue to be defensive rather than apologetic.

My 2007 Pontiac G6 had been gradually losing coolant for months. First a little bit at a time to leaking out faster than I could pour it in! I didn't know where to go or what to do as I'm sure we've all heard a horror story or two about some mechanics taking advantage of women because typically most of us don't have a CLUE about the inside of cars...at least I don't 🤷‍♀️... Someone suggested I go to YELP and "yelp" I did! Some of the labor quotes I got from the mechanics that responded to my inquiry were astronomical!! With the focus being more on their service rate and less about wanting to know what the problem was. Then, talking with a very dear friend- She referred me to Memo at Smart Mobile Auto Repair. He's her go-to-car-guy. She said he was "awesome, reliable, professional, extremely knowledgeable and his prices- reasonable!" So the next week- I took my car to see Memo, he looked over my car and came back into the waiting area with a tablet on his lap showing me a video of my water pump, explaining how it was the culprit of my coolant leaking profusely. While he showed me the video- he was patient with me while I asked dumb questions to try to understand how it all worked. He explained it to me until I understood- he was very kind which put me at ease. At the end of that visit he gave me a quote for what was needed. It was a bit more than I was prepared to pay that day- but he didn't pressure me, he gave me the time I needed to get my funds together and go back and let him fix it. Two weeks later- that day was TODAY!!! I met with him and went over what was going to be done and how long it was going to take. "About 5-6 hours" he said and would call me to let me know when it was ready. At around 330pm he called to say it was ready but he noticed my oil needed to be changed BAD, and wanted to call and tell me that he and his manager(?) would be giving me a FREE OIL CHANGE for being a new customer!! So he replaced my water pump and thermostat, gave me a FREE oil change and even checked my tire pressure!! I told him I was starting a new job on Monday and he wanted to make sure it was in tip-top shape to get me to and fro!! What an awesome young man!!! Listen, I doubt you will ever come across a mechanic better than Memo at Smart Mobile Auto Repair! I've already told everyone I know about him and his shop! When I picked up my car- it drove like it was BRAND NEW!! (And they don't even make Pontiacs anymore!!) When my car needs anything else- I'm going STRAIGHT to Memo! And you should too!! THANK YOU MEMO!! YOU ROCK!! 😊👏💯🔥 ***UPDATE 9/14/2024*** (It wouldn't let me create a new review so I'll have to add to this one🤷‍♀️) So, about a week after my car was repaired, I found out as I was driving home from my son's house in Fair Oaks that I had NO HEADLIGHTS!! I knew one of my headlights were out so I try not to drive at night. And not having drove my car at night since it was repaired- I wasn't expecting not to have ANY lights. It was about an hour drive home street way as I live in the south area, a very scary drive home. I texted Memo that night just to let him know but I didn't expect to hear from him as it was about 1130pm on a Saturday night...but to my surprise he reached out to me on SUNDAY and through a few texts we scheduled me an appointment to come in the following Saturday morning- which was today! I met Zamanda (The Boss) for the first time and she was amazing! I told her and Memo about my headlight situation and they were very concerned and attentive. At first, Memo was going to install bulbs and quoted me a price to do so- and I happily agreed to pay right then... Then he called me to come outside to my car so he could show me what was going on. Just like before (sans tablet) he took a flashlight and a screwdriver and showed me corroded/melted wires on the thingy that the bulbs attach to- he said he could still replace them but they would more than likely burn out again and I'd have the same problem. He then gave me a quote to replace the whole headlamp section on both sides

Samantha at the front desk was very nice and had excellent customer service (much needed during a time of possible stress of car issues)- Samantha said the mechanic Memo “is the best”. I figured she’s saying that because she works there haha- but Memo truly was the best- Memo was very personable-mellow mannered-honest-excellent communication-and did excellent work on my car (when I thought my car was a goner after overheating at 381°) even Memo was honest and thinking I may need a new engine- but instead- he was able to fix my car issues and it’s been great ever since! I’ve already told all my friends about him!

Scammers. Don’t go to this shop, please. Their prices are so high and expensive, and they like to look for things and try to sell you the services that are not needed repairs yet—very good at convincing you. One wise guy once said, something like this:” Average people learn from their own mistakes. Smart people learn from other people’s mistakes.” Your choices. Thank you!

Oct 07, 2024

The only place I will ever take my car. This shop is by far the most honest place I’ve been. Customer service is always great. So.. if you are looking for a mechanic that will go above and beyond and make sure your car is up and running take it here.

Sep 07, 2024

Guillermo did an amazing job helping me with my car today, he’s super friendly, knowledgeable, quick and efficient I will definitely be coming back to them hopefully getting Guillermo every time

Had my car repaired once mobile and once at thier shop on Franklin blvd. Excellent service, respectful professional and honest is how I would describe Smart Mobile.

Sep 07, 2024

I feel very lucky that I was able to secure a same day appointment on a Saturday. The mechanic was professional and on time. He was also kind enough to point out a couple of other points of interest that would need attention soon. The car runs great. Thank you guys, for coming out.

I recently had my brakes repaired at Smart Mobile, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the moment I called, their communication was excellent. They quickly diagnosed the issue and provided a clear explanation of the necessary repairs. The pricing was transparent and fair, with no hidden fees or surprises. I appreciated how they took the time to answer all my questions, making sure I was comfortable with the work being done. The turnaround time was impressively fast, and my car was back on the road in no time. If you're looking for a reliable and honest auto shop, I highly recommend Smart Mobile. Their professionalism and commitment to customer service are top-notch!"

I recently visited this auto repair shop after my brake light came on, and I was quite anxious about the issue. From the moment I walked in, I felt comfortable talking to the mechanic. He was incredibly patient in explaining the problem. The front office lady, Zamanda, is also really kind and made everything convenient for me. Smart Mobile Auto Repair is now my go-to auto repair shop, I cannot recommend it enough!! Everyone in Sacramento should go here!!

I had a really great experience. The customer service is superb Stephanie assisted me with the process...I needed a brake job....Memo gave a thorough inspection, I was advised about other components that had some wear and tear. Simple fixes that can prevent more costly fixes down the line. Memo was not only very thorough but he was efficient and the prices are fair. I definitely will be back for all of my car needs.

Aug 07, 2024

I was visiting the area from Grass Valley when my alternator and battery died on a late Friday afternoon. These guys were quick to respond, and reasonably priced to get my Rav4 fixed during the weekend. Super nice folks that communicated well to keep me aware of what was wrong with my car and when it would be fixed.

This is the best auto repair shop in Sacramento!! I had a great experience in this place, Memo explained the issue with my car, he ordered the parts needed and fixed the issue. Its been 2 months since the repairs and my car is driving like a dream. I cant say enough about this place. The owner is super friendly, honest and an expert in cars. I've recommended them with all my family and friends!

May 07, 2024

Excellent service and customer service. I couldn’t find a repair shop to repair my vehicle on a Saturday and Memo was able to repair it. Zamanda was really helpful and friendly. She took me in the same day. I got my timing belt with water pump replaced. I strongly recommend this auto repair shop to anyone in need of reliable service.

May 07, 2024

Great all around.

May 07, 2024

Honest and hard working! Memo helped fix my Chevy Tahoe when another mechanic couldn’t. I’ll continue to use Memo as my local Sacramento mechanic! He’s earned my trust.

May 07, 2024

Smart Mobile Auto is now my #1 repair shop! Zamanda was extremely helpful and accommodating to my needs. Got a quote within a few minutes, no surprises when I was billed. Memo not only did a great job! He also informed me about a little fix that he took care of for me. It's great to know your car is in good hands with kind, knowledgeable & trustworthy people. I'd rate 10 ⭐️ if I could !! Thank you so much again, Smart Mobile Auto Repair!!
