I had trouble removing a stuck oil filter. I'd already drained the oil, and damaged the filter, so I was unable to drive my car anywhere and really in a jam. Indy's Mobile Mechanic came over on a Saturday night and resolved my issue. He was friendly, courteous, explained what he was doing and didn't charge me an arm and a leg. Will definitely call him again for any future auto repairs.

I'm not sure what the bad reviews are for, but Ronnie was amazing!My daughter was a college student in town, and had her rear brakes going bad, we fixed them 2 months ago when she was home and it was almost $400. When I went down to pick her up at graduation, she mentioned the front brakes were making a noise and I said we'd get it fixed at home. I went to get gas for her car before leaving, at 5:30 on a Friday night and she had metal on metal, no brake pad at all on one side and a small amount on her left. I had no idea how we'd get it fixed that late on a Friday night. Places closed at either 6 or 7pm. After calling and stopping by 4 different places in the area that were open til 7pm, I scrolled through the listings on my phone for "mechanic near me" and looked to see if anyone was open even later. About 20 spots down, I found the listing for "Indy's mobile mechanic". I called and Ronnie picked up right away. I told him what was wrong. He asked when I wanted it done and I sheepishly said "now?". He asked where I was and I told him and he said he was just a few minutes away. He said there was an Autozone nearby, so if I grabbed the pads, he could meet me in 10 minutes. I bought new pads for <$50, met Ronnie 10 minutes later in the parking lot of her building, and he only was going to charge me $60 to do it, so $110 vs the $400 it cost me 2 months earlier? And Ronnie was done in under 30 minutes. This was an amazing and cost effective service! I paid him extra because he was such a life saver late on a Friday night.I wish he was closer to where I lived. Amazing service! I would use him without hesitation.I will say when he answered the phone, he just said "Hello" instead of "Indy mobile mechanic" or similar so it threw me for a loop. I asked if it was the mechanic and he said "yeah, what do you need?", so his bedside manner wasn't the greatest on the phone, but in person he was great and everything else was amazing.Service: Brakes

Warning!!! Scam!! This is not a real mechanic service they solely book people and take no accountability for if you actually get your service. We paid the 25 dollar deposit fee and where told that a mechanic would be sent out to our location within 30 minutes to help change a tire. After being stuck on the highway for two hours waiting we had a follow up call where they basically told us where not responsible for that and you cannot get a refund. On top of this The person on the phone "yelled multiple times There is nothing we can do for buddy" and hung up. This was surprising because all I asked was what other options do we have then.Service: Tires

I guess I had too much luggage in the trunk because it wouldn't open. It was almost midnight and I needed to get into trunk because my medicine was in there and I had a flight to catch in early morning before any shops were open. My dad and brother tried to open it after YouTube and google and couldnt get it opened or pull down the back seat. I even called a lock smith who couldnt open it so I text him and he came out. He tried everything and finally got the backseat down where he was able to pull some stuff out trunk and it was able to open the trunk. I had called so called 24 hr mechanic and they didnt answer or call back. He texted back let me know how long it would take to get to me and told me price. He never gave up and tried different things and finally got it open. So based on my experience it was great.

I contacted Ronnie to fix my wheel bearing and he did both sides I paid him the 150$. I wentto go to work the next day and the car drove worse after he so called fix my car. I take it to an actual mechanic and he told me my caliber on the right side was not connected to the router and that it shredded my tire . I tried to call and text this guy and guess what , no answer and then I get a text saying call me when you want your sway bar fixed!!!!! Haha , what a joke .

Don't pay him the $60 until the problem he claims you have is taken care of first. He said to let him know if that isn't the problem. I did and of course I never got a response after texting multiple times. He didn't seem to know what he was doing. He finally managed to pull a couple codes and claimed I needed these two sensors to get my truck running. I replaced the sensors and they weren't the problem. I had a my truck towed to a real mechanic. They replaced my fuel pump. Now my truck is running fine.

I wish I would have read the reviews. I bought brand new break pads that this guy was supposed to install. Gave him the money plus extra flor a part he said he needed. Drove the car hoping to experience some relief after he said he completed the job, only to find it making horrible noises and grinding. I called and asked him to come back and check it out but he never did. I called from a different phone number so that he would answer, after I found out from a reputable brake shop that he had only changed one of the brake pads in the back and lied and stole the other on.e that I had purchased resulting in $450 damage to the rotor on the side he failed to replace. He tried to lie about it and say that he replaced the pad but it still had the factory name on it. Said he would cash app me the money back. I m still waiting. I don t want this to happen to anyone else everyone is struggling out here. Stole my brake pad which is theftService: Brakes

Horrible Service and Customer Service.I called him and explained my serpentine belt got wet and came off. He said he would come and install it and the price.He said for me to text him the address and he will come to reinstall my belt. I called at 2 am it was freezing cold if I was in the middle of no where I could have died from low temperature hoping he would arrive to help me. I had no power steering, water pump, alternator.He said in his reply text he was on the phone with another customer and will call me back I waited for him until 4am he never showed never told me he wasn't going to show.He is not reliable, helpful or honest.If you are in a emergency do not call him for any help. Thankfully I was at my job and could go in for warmth. If I wasn't in good safe place my family and I could have died He needs negative five stars -5

This is the best mechanic I found in Indy thus far. When I called, they had quite a busy schedule that day but assured I would get taken care of. They kept me informed throughout the day in a timely manner. They surpassed that by being able to get to me earlier than expected, as they knew I needed my car for work that night. On top of that,they saved me a tow bill and spent good quality time to locate the cheapest way for me to get back onto the road quickly as my funds were limited. They provided professional and courteous service. I plan to use them for any car troubles in the future as well as refer all my friends and family! Thanks again Indy Mobile mechanic!!! You saved my day!!

Alternator change. Was horrible. Got multiple different things tampered with on my vehicle that were fine before my car was worked on. First issue was quoted two different repair prices my sister and I both reached out on separate occasions before using the service, second my oil dip stick is broken also one arm of hood hydraulic doesn t work anymore. and radiator is leaking I was getting an ALTERNATOR CHANGE! make it make sense. Excuse was couldn t get oil dipstick out so forced it and it broke and for radiator it had corrosion that needed to be removed all these extra things that was not asked to be done my car is not having new issues mind you this is an old car but seeing that one would think a mechanic would do only the service asked of and move on but all the extra things fishing for more cash caused 3 new issues! Just a weird place over all I would NOTTTTT recommend try another place yall forreal I m sure sombody else s mobile mechanic got some sense

Contacted and made arrangements for help getting the window back up on a vehicle. Offered good money in cash for the repair. Made an effort to participate as a customer and be reasonable and personable. Last conversation I had with Ron he was checking on parts. Then he disappeared.

I called Ryan for my pickup truck to repair my brake line, and Ryan said that he would do it Sunday morning.Ryan came through Sunday morning just like he said he would do.He took out my old brake line from my truck, and he saw a future problem that would happen with the brake line and took care of that issue to.He bleed the lines, and did a awesome repair on my truck.I am very pleased with his work, I would definitely call him back again.I would also recommend him.

I don't know the guy's name but he charged me over $300 to change a fuel pump, which he did. But, he didn't hook up my gas gauge. So, while my vehicle does run I have no idea how much gas I have in the tank. I'm going to have to trade it in now because it's just not safe to drive when I have no idea how much gas I have.

Joey was extrememly professional! Work was quick, Joey accomplished the repairs right in my garage. I was having some issues with my fuel pump. After Joey ran a diagnostic, he discovered that I was sold a faulty fuel pump; which I am getting my money back for. Spent significantly less than I. would at a dealership. Time and money, well spent!Services: Electrical repair, Auto engine diagnostic

My Buick was overheating and leaking what looked like tomato soup. Shops wanted too much so I found this mechanic online. I called to get the water pump replaced and he ended up doing that, flushing my radiator and unclogging my heater core hoses. He even fixed an issue I was having with my battery - all for less than what the shops wanted for just the water pump replacement. Definitely calling him again.

They make it clear that they dont need or want your business. I called and there was no answer, but they quickly texted me and asked how they could help. I replied yelling them that I needed my car fixed asap and received no answer. They didn't even bother to ask about make and model, they didnt even pretend to want my business. I texted them a second time and then they blocked my number. Incredibly unprofessional. Please heed all of the warnings. All of these 1 and 2 star ratings are not lying. If you need a good mechanic, go to the West side.

Good guy, really knows his stuff.I was kind of sketchy when my wife told me that she found a mobile mechanic with the very reasonable prices he charged but we were desperate and in a bind and decided to take a chance on him. BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT!! He showed up checked it out and got right to work but the part on my car was rusted together he really was determined to help us out so we went to autozone, I paid for the part and once we finally got the old part off it took him all of 20 minutes to get me back on the road and at half the price of a shop. You really can't go wrong with him he was a really cool guy just trying to make a living and he knows his stuff. I'd recommend him to any and everyone and I will be calling him from now on. Real honest guy

Scam ! Scam!! Scam!!! He collected $200 from me to go and get the parts, this man never showed up and block my number. Please be warned . He came with one guy and a lady he claimed to be his wife.You want to make people believe that am at fault . He told me to give him $200 for the parts and the labor is $150. He said there's $45 to diagnose, and the $45 will be deducted from the labor. I gave you $200 for the parts and promised to come and fix the car by 3pm and give you the remaining $105 when you are done. You blocked my number and never fix my car. I have reported your case to the police. YOU WILL MEET YOUR WATERLOO SOON ENOUGH

Called to have my brakes changed for me, then saw I needed a new calipher on the front passenger side. I bought a new one and he replaced it for me, after driving it down the road (not even a mile) a couple times the new calipher came off and now my car won t move. I have repeatedly contacted him about the issue and after saying he would fix it he has now ignored me and the issue that he caused. Very unreliable, he does not care. Find a professional shop for your car needs.

Our alternator went out in our car really late Saturday evening. We live 3 hours from Indy and was very concerned about getting home the next day. This was the only repair shop that we could find that was open. Not only did they come to our hotel at midnight to replace the alternator in our vehicle, in the freezing cold, (we didn t have to have it towed) they were extremely nice and didn t price gouge us. We can t thank them enough for helping us out! I wish I could rate this higher than a 5, they deserve it! Thank you so much for helping us out and being so kind!

This man is a scam big time, you had better tow your car to the nearest mechanic than engage him. He shows up with his wife , collected money from me to go get part and the story changed from that point, he said the money was used for diagnosis which he never told me and he never returned. Be warned

My daughter paid for this guy to replace brakes and a caliper on her car and after driving her car the caliper fell off and left her car stranded! After attempting to contact him about the problem numerous times and being blown off and ignored and lied to my daughter had another mechanic look at her car to find that Indy Mobile Mechanic didn't put the bolts back in the caliper! He took advantage of my 19 year old daughter and then refused to fix his mistake!

My son is still there as we speak. My son was stranded in Indiana and I googled And found Ron.He answered the phone at 5 a.m. on a Sunday.My son is a Marine and drove 11 hours trying to make it home from Jacksonville NC to Chicago. Then his car just died.Ron is honest. Fair. Even letting my son rest in his home. As a worried parent wanting my son Homr safe... I could not be more thankful. He and his wife went over and beyond and he deserves 6 gold stars and more clients. Thank you so much. Pamela

This guy stole money from me! He said his name is Ronnie, he told me he needed cash to go get a part and he'd be back in an hour. I gave it to him, he left, and never came back. No calls, no texts, nothing. I tried over and over to reach him and he never responded. He stole my money and ran! I will NEVER hire another "mobile mechanic" and I'm posting reviews anywhere and everywhere I can find!

Ronnie and Sarah came out and changed my flat tire at a very reasonable price. They were knowledgeable, pleasant and fast. I can't recommend them highly enough.

My husband tried them out just to fix something so simple and the guy broke something off my car . he said he could come back next time to fix it . but when we called him ,the lady gave us the run around for 2 weeks. We just said for get it and went to a real mechanic. Its sad that you can't trust people to be honest and do a job right . smh

I called and was told they had to find a part, never called me back. I tried to reach them three more times and no answer, while I sat stuck in Indianapolis at a community where I was threatened with violence and had to call the cops with my two kids, three Great Dane dogs, and my truck full of household goods.I will never recommend them and have had to find alternative solutions.M
