So I wanted to get my 92 Chevy turn on and i almost sold it but for some apparent reason I couldn’t do it so I went online and I found a mechanic and I saw VIP mobile and I called him and Mr P answered and I told he what was the problem an told me that he could help me and he came the next day to diagnose it and told me what was wrong then he came the next day and installed what I needed and that was fuel injectors and he did a good job on my Chevy and he is reasonable, honest and respectful thank you Mr P you the best. Im going to be calling you again sir.

If you are looking for someone who is honest and good at what he does, Mr. P is the guy. 10/10 recommend!

Mr. Padilla came out super quick after I called and replaced the starter in my car for a fair price. Highly recommended!

Great company! This is now the second time I’ve had Mr. P come out to work with my vehicle. Working with this company, you can expect honesty, compassion, and a true sense of support to address the problem at hand. I will not work with any other mobile mechanic other than this company. I am extremely pleased with the service!

He was awesome and very honest I would recommend him to anyone!

Honest and reliable. Lauro ran a thorough diagnostic and explained everything in detail. I'm so glad I found him and will be using again. Thanks so much Lauro!!

I absolutely love this brother. My car stalled out on me and VIP Mobile Mechanic came out, did some troubleshooting, figured out it was my alternator and began to work on it. He worked on my car through the day and into the night. He replaced my alternator(Auto Zone gave us a dude initially) twice and finally got my issue taken care of. My guy works hard, is super reasonable and is a great guy. The highest of recommends.

I called for a mobile mechanic to help me get my car running. Within just a few hours Mr.P had diagnosed the issues, had the parts dropped off, installed everything and really just put my mind at ease that all was done professionally. He was very kind and easy to talk to. I would recommend him to anyone.

VIP mobile Mechanic saved me from spending $1700! My AC was not working on my jeep.. brought it to pep boys and they told me my compressor & condenser needed to be replaced.. I believed them but didn't like the price they were charging me. I called VIP mobile mechanic and he told me he doesn’t believe that both compressor and condenser need to be replaced and asked to prove them wrong. We set up a time immediately and he showed/explained everything he was checking and how my compressor/condenser was not the reason my AC was not working. He told me he was 90% sure it was the valve on the compressor since all the electric part was doing what it was supposed to. Brought my jeep to his house.. 2 hours later with a new valve my AC was blowing cold air like it never has before. Trustworthy and very reliable. If our cars ever have issues he is the person we will be calling.

VIP mobile Mechanic saved me from spending a few thousands of dollars. I had a friend of my son who tried to tell me my vehicle needed a brand new transmission after he was supposed to have done a tuneup on my vehicle. Let me say , my car never had any problems prior. My daughter called VIP Mobile and within a couple hours found the issue and fixed whatever was done poorly before. My car now runs just a good as the day I got it, even better. I will never use anyone else. Thank you VIP Mobile Mechanic!!


Sep 27, 2024

I Called and the guy on the phone immediately told me he can't do whatever I had for him and I hadn't even said what i needed yet (needed a new a/c compressor and clutch) not hard at all Very unprofessional


Sep 27, 2024

I had an awesome experience with VIP Mobile Mechanic with Mr. P today. So glad I called him for my brake job....totally amazed he could do it the same day. He even got the parts and made sure he told me the cost of each. Very professional service. Upfront and no hidden fees. Great price for the job. So thankful for finding him. Definitely recommend . I also feel better knowing that I have someone that can help me with my vehicle when something comes up....such an added bonus!!! Thank you sooo much!!

I highly recommend VIP Mobile Mechanic Service 100%. I rebuilt my engine, and it was running badly (lean codes and eventually stalling/wouldn't restart untill cool) after replacing literally everything. Since I'm trying to learn, he spent the time explaining his theory and approach/looking at compiter data with me. It was a fun experience, and he's has a talent for interpreting computer data. Which isn't easy and is highly technical. After a couple of hours, he gave me a direction and was correct. Turns out the new injectors that "fit my truck," according to Rock Auto, did not and made it run like crap. And I thought my rebuild was bad...


Sep 27, 2024

Mr P showed up and took care business quickly and professionally, and at a fair price for services rendered. He's on speed dial now.

Mr. Padilla is a life saver, if I could give him more stars I would! I had a bad alternator on my GMC Acadia and initially had another Mobile Mechanic come out to repair. They started the job however told me they would not be able to complete the job due to cross thread issue on one of the screws and they recommended taking to a dealership. Dealership wanted $1800 just for diagnostics, this did not include replacing the part or labor. I thought it was pretty ridiculous and was not willing to pay that price. Luckily, I found VIP Mechanic. He was willing to come out and look at the issue although he prefaced saying since he initially didn't diagnosis the issue and start the repair there was no guarantee that he would be able to fix the vehicle, but I was willing to have him at least come out and give me a second opinion at a small fraction of the cost that the dealership was asking. All the the while my other vehicle also decided not to start... just great 2 cars not running what am I going to do??? Mr Padilla was able to come out and found that luckily that other car just had a bad battery and replaced. And after experiencing a few hiccups due to the initial mechanics lack of experience and/or incompetence, Mr Padilla was able to get my Acadia up and running again. He was able to repair not just 1 but both of my vehicles for less than the price the dealership was charging just for diagnostics!!! He was very professional, personable, and with over 30 years of experience knew his stuff and explained everything very well. I definitely recommend VIP Mechanic for your vehicle repairs and will be using them for any future car needs.

Mr. Padilla is an awesome mechanic. Diagnosed a crank, no start on my Chevy OBS. He was very professional and methodical and got my truck running again in no time. Big thanks


Sep 27, 2024

My car is now running thanks to Mr P!! After I called him he came over in a timely fashion and he quickly began to diagnosis my vehicle. Went thru a series of tests and he finally solved the puzzle. Went from fuses to battery to starter to wiring to finally a gear engagement issue. Thank you for the great work.


Sep 27, 2024

Professional, knowledgeable and I was treated like family! I will definitely use VIP Mobile Mechanic again!!


Aug 27, 2024

On time .... very professional, friendly was able to explain everything in layman terms. Thank you again!!! Would recommend and use again!


Aug 27, 2024

Had a problem where my car battery connector was loose and the latch was frozen making it to where I couldn’t pop the hood to the car, Mr P here went above and beyond to help me get the latch unstuck and lubricated, not only that but helped get the car running entirely to where it will no longer have the latch/loose connector problem. 5 stars from me 👍


Jun 27, 2024

Highly recommend. Very honest about pricing.Showed up on time. Diagnosed a radiator leak. He really went above and beyond. Great communication he did his absolute best to save money and time. I do appreciate it. He removed a very improperly installed hose. Took a lot of his own time to figure out what was the proper hose for my Mazda Tribute. He took alot of his own time, time to figure out the replacement part, so much so that we were able to repair it ourselves, and save so much. Highly recommend. He is worth it. 👍👍👍


Jun 27, 2024

I had a difficult issue to troubleshoot and desperately needed help diagnosing the problem . I called Mr. P and he came that very day. He was spot on-time and professional. I watched him logically trouble shoot the problem and zero in on the issue, he understands thoroughly and has the tools and resources available to him. What I thought was a huge problem was solved in 2 hours. I would recommend VIP to anyone. Well done Mr. P!


Jun 27, 2024

Mr. Padilla was very friendly and professional. He solved a very tricky problem with my car. He is very knowledgeable and his pricing is fair. Thank you for solving this problem for me.


Jun 27, 2024

The Mechanic, Mr. Padilla, was not only helpful with acquiring parts and going into detail of my specific repair would entail, but was also great with communication. I didn’t have to chase or clarify the most mundane aspects of my expectations as a customer who just wanted their car fixed. He was able to meet me the very next day, came to my house, and worked diligently in my garage. He was very personable and easy to talk to. And the most important thing is that he has integrity. After finding that my specific problem was much more complicated than first determined , he did not ask to raise the cost of labor but instead kept to the agreed upon price. In the end, I am very grateful to have a mechanic who was able to fox my problem and keep his word. Thank you, VIP!


Jun 27, 2024

VIP was amazing! I was in San Antonio visiting friends with my family when our van started shaking and engine light came on. I called VIP late in the day and he still came out and met me and fixed the issue in about 10-15 mins. Highly highly recommend using their service. Such great customer service!


Jun 27, 2024

Was able to provide guidance that led to a quick fix, avoiding unnecessary costs after reviewing an 8 second video of the symptoms. Thanks Mr. Padilla, appreciate your help..


May 27, 2024

Excellent service ! Very quick to reply, and get started in my vehicle. Customer service is a+ in my book. Definitely going to use again. Thank you so much for fixing my under cover ! 🙏


May 27, 2024

Mr. Padilla is the best! He’s honest, fair and always does a great job on all our vehicles. Highly recommended!


May 27, 2024

Mr.Padilla provided the best mechanic experience ever. Found the problem in 20 minutes, gave a reasonable estimate of the cost and labor and came trough in a timely manner. Highly recommend and will save as primary mechanic from now on.


Apr 27, 2024

Called with electrical problems and he lived far away from me. He gave me some pointers as opposed to paying for him to come all the way out and it worked. Rare person just helping you out to help you out. Cant imagine how good he must be if he actually works on your car! Thank you brother


Apr 27, 2024

Had a quick and easy experience with this company, extremely convenient with reasonable pricing. Communicated fast and worked with my schedule to fix my car up, and he even went the extra mile to teach me what he was doing while completing the repair. I would not hesitate at all to utilize this business again, and recommend anyone to give this business a shot.


Apr 27, 2024

Mr Padilla was very responsive, punctual and knowledgeable. He was able to pinpoint a complex electrical issue on the roadside and offer a warranty on his work. While he was not the most affordable option in his category, his work was worth every penny spent and I wouldn't hesitate to use his services again if needed. I highly recommend him.


Apr 27, 2024

Mr. Padilla (VIP mobile mechanic) Is the most trustworthy individual we have come across. He is professional and is a highly knowledgeable mechanic. We thank you for your service on working so diligently on fixing our vehicle. Wm Camarillo

Super awesome guy! Definitely calling back if I have any more issues. He gave me such good tips on buying a used car and was willing to help make sure the car isn't a lemon


Mar 27, 2024

Mr Padilla did an outstanding job fixing my truck. He knew what the problem was when I called and explained the issue. He came in a timely manner, fixed it properly, professionally and at a very reasonable price. I will be going to Mr Padilla VIP Mobile Mechanic service for all my automotive needs. Thanks Mr Padilla. God bless.

Mr. Padilla was just amazing! He came right to my house which is a huge time saver. He was very kind and easy going. He explained his whole process to me while trouble shooting the vehicle which gave me peace of mind. After everything was completed he was able to accept Credit Card which made the already easy process that much more convenient. Definitely recommend his service to anyone! Thank you Mr. Padilla for all your hard work! God bless!
