I have called on Al and on his services on numerous occasions. Each and every time he has responded promptly and with the utmost respect and courtesy. The fact that his services are mobile have spared me the trouble and the expense of having to have my vehicles towed. His rates are very reasonable and his expertise is on point. I will continue to use his services and I highly reccomend him to anyone in need of vehicle maintenance and repair. Good Christian Man. Good Christian Company. Honest. Courteous. Dependable. Excellence. All words that describe Al's Automotive Mobile Service!

These guys are great. I was having trouble with what I thought was either starter or altenator issues. Big money Right? Not these guys. Al showed me I was having gear shift issues and how to make sure the car starts every time. Since I am an unemployed student, that was an incredible relief. What could have cost me a fortune only cost me the inspection fee. Thanks Al,, I recommend you call these guys before anyone else.

I called Al to check out a used car that I was considering purchasing. He took a thorough look at it and advised me of some things that needed to be done. I was able to negotiate down the price accordingly with the seller.
After I bought the car, Al advised me as to the exact parts that I needed to purchase (he doesn't mark up parts, you can buy them yourself) and to call him when I had everything together. Next day I went out and bought the parts. I called Al and he came out that afternoon to install a new ball joint, oil change, transmission fluid/service, new front rotors and pads, and some other small things like wiper blades and air filter.
Very satisfied and Al is a really nice guy and very fairly priced .He brought 2 guys along to help since this was a good amount of work. Did the work right in my driveway.
Highly recommend and would not hesitate to call on Al again.

Was visiting San Antonio for business and all of a sudden my car wouldn't start. Googled for a shop nearby, and Al's Mobile Mechanic is at the top of the search with a 5 star rating and 34 reviews. Having considered the rating and reviews, and having never used a mobile mechanic, I thought it might be worth a try. Being a female stranded out of town, I could at least trust these guys, right?

So I call Al's and he says no problem, he's on his way! I ask if he could at least diagnose the car, he says no problem! Al shows up right away, quickly diagnoses the car as being the relay switch, and the only place to get this particular switch is the Acura dealership. Dealership??? So Al makes a run allllll the wayyyy to the dealership, returns, and fixes the car in 5 minutes tops, no problem!!! No towing fees, no leaving the car at the shop, no drama, none of that! Just right back on the road and total peace of mind!

Al's quick response, customer service, professionalism and wayyy more than reasonable price felt more like a rescue from an old friend than a call to a mobile mechanic.

The first thing I would like to say is very Professional! Al took the time to answer my questions and concerns and I appreciate that. It is hard to find a good trust worthy mechanic; I have been burned so much in the pass by bad mechanics. Al did not try to haggle me or take advantage of me because I was a women. He was honest and up front and I would recommend Al's Automotive Mobile Service to anyone. I will defiantly use his services for all my automotive needs. Thank You Al

I am here from out of town working at a new site. My water pump was going out and I didn't have transportation or know of a mechanic in town. I read all the reviews that Al has and at first I though he must be writing them. (LOL) I called him to repair my truck and proved me wrong. He is as good as all the reviews say if not better. He is a hard working and honest man and does quality work at a reasonable rate. I would recommend him very highly.

On my Lunch break from work my vehicle wouldn't start, I immediately looked on the internet Al's Mobile service poped up. I called within 45 mins the mechanic was here with his mobile garage ready to fix the issue. an Hour later Iam back on the road. Plain and simple convenient and Professional. I will be a future costumer and tell family/friends about the Al's

Golden. That's the perfect word to describe Al's Automotive Mobile Service. I left a message and within 30 minutes Al called me back. I had told him I needed help and would be back at the house after an hour. Al said he would be there in an hour to an hour and 1/2 and showed up right on time. He was courteous, which was refreshing in this hectic, fast paced world.
What about the service? Stellar. He found and fixed the immediate problem on the spot. He offered me options for long terms solutions, I accepted. My car was fixed within an hour and I didn't have to go to the shop or pay crazy 'through the nose' prices. Al rocks!!! You'd be foolish to not to call him. Thank you, Al. I appreciate you and God bless your family and business.

Simply put, Al is AWESOME! It's a long story, but some things I would like to point out.
1. Great contact and superior customer service
2. The guy drove to the other side of SA and changed my clutch in 2 1/2 hours. That's crazy.
3. Al could not have been friendlier..offered me water and gave me a chair to sit in, smiled even though my situation was a pain in the rear, and even looked at my wife's car for nothing.
4. His price was UNBEATABLE.

Contacted Als mechanic first to replace a starter, but the timing belt was blown. Al discussed several options. Always let me knew what was going on. Thanx for the heads up.

Al's repaired my power steering and oil leaks. Very timely and efficient service. It is very convenient to have your car serviced the same day as oppossed to leaving at the dealership for any length of time. Very professional customer service also.

WOW! My experience with all was GOD send! I was stranded at a gas station and he rolled in to fix someone else's vehicle. I flagged him over and he said he would be happy to take a look, it took him all of 5 seconds to diagnose the problem and give me a very reasonable quote, especially seeing it costs 60 bucks to tow to the nearest shop and he usually charges 50 for the call, but waved I guess because he was there on another call. Al was fast and curtious! We were out of ther in under an hour and only paid a fraction of what we would have spent on getting it to and having it fixed at a shop.

Great servicee. My vehicle was broken into and was out for the count. They were very punctual and me being a soldier in the US ARMY. Being on time is very important to me. I really appreciate the way they kept me informed during this process. I really appreciate your help sir. I personally recommend this service to anyone.

A+ service - Quick response - Quality work - Good price.
I am a very satisfied customer. These guys are professional, They make you feel like you are a special customer. They came quick to the rescue and if I was a San Antonio resident, he would be my permanent mechanic.
I highly recommend them.

i have used Al two times and both time i have been extremely satisfied. he has given me a good price both times and i have rarely seen a man that is so concerned with my being satisfied. he does a quality job with quick service. he makes me feel like a special customer which i assume he does with everyone and i really appreciate that.
he even was nice enough to crawl under my residence and retrieve a dead animal which seems way above and beyond the call of duty.
i recommend him highly and with no reservations.
good price,quality work, great customer service with a smile all done in the comfort of my own home. i don't know what else i could ask for.

thanks again Al i will call again soon.
if anyone would like to write me and verify this recomendation please email me.

Al, once again you helped me and my family out in the nick of time. My wife's security system went on the blink and would not allow the car to start. You drove way across town after 5pm in traffic, and came to my rescue. You towed the vehicle to your shop, fixed the problem, and had me on my way with a third of the cost of the dealer. The car has performed flawlessly since and I owe you more than just a debt of gratitude. God bless you and your business, it's nice to know my family has someone to depend upon in a time of need.

I was in San Antonio overnight for work and on my way from my hotel to a dinner meeting my car had a blow out on 410. I was stuck in a small median between traffic on 410 and the traffic merging onto the highway. I wasn??t sure how I was going to get my car off of the highway and out of the heavy traffic. Being from out of town and not knowing anyone, I called 311 to see if someone could come help me but before anyone could answer this white van appeared out of no where in front of me and a very nice gentleman jumped out, introduced himself as Al, and asked me if I was ok and told me he could fix my tire for me for a small fee. I happily agreed and didn??t even have to get out of my car as he and his assistant jacked up my car and put on my spare in a matter of minutes. Al??s service and kindness was unbelievable and I was so very thankful they passed me on the way from another service call. I would recommend them to anyone and will be keeping their card handy anytime I am in San Antonio! Thanks so much Al!!

I bought my 02 Escape in February of this year. Within 3 months, I started having problems. I took it back to the dealership and of course had rotten luck trying them to fix anything. So, I continued to drive my car like a dummy and one day it just stopped starting. I called Al and he came right out and fixed it that same day. I continued driving it and just two weeks ago, while I was out of town, the check engine light came on and it started shaking. Luckily I was only in Austin and was able to drive back home. I called Al again, last week, and IN THE RAIN, he came out and fixed my car!!! I was so greatful. I was at work and I met him to get the car opened so he could start, and he even came to my work after he was done so I wouldn't have to leave again. I was so glad he didn't cancel on me because it was raining. He was quick and fair on pricing. When I tell everyone what he charged me and what he did, everyone always says WOW!
I would definately tell other people and I have found a mechanic that I trust and will always call with any problems from now on. And the best part is he comes to you! :)

I really can't find the words to say how pleased we are with the service that Al provides. We recently purchased a 95 Bronco. Shortly after that it completely died on us. Being new to the area and unable to obtain assistance from the dealer that sold it, we turned to the internet to find someone. After reading the positive reviews Al was the first person we called. That was one of the best moves that we could have made.

Within 2 hours of the call, Al was there and got the vehicle back on the road. Next day still experiencing difficulties (no problem with the previous days work) just another issue altogether. Again Al was right there. They went above and beyond to get the truck done in one day and at a really good rate too. Throughout everything Al has been so professional, thoroughly explains everything, provided recommendations for upgrades and ensured that we were completely satisifed with everything.

I would recommend Al to anyone! I honestly don't think that you can find better service anywhere. You can tell that not only does he care about the quality or work he provides, he cares about his customers and their needs. Al will be the first person we call when we need any vehicle care.

I found this service via the internet. I'm glad I did. Al is prompt and professional from the start. Al walks you through each step of what he's doing and does the work right in front of you.

I had some major transmission issues and, after some estimates, it looks as though I've saved over 600$ on repairs thanks to Al's honesty and excellent work on my vehicle. Not only that, but a full service inspection, battery charging (needed in my case), and cleaning of surrounding work areas was included in the service call.

I would suggest asking lots of questions and shopping around after Al gives you an estimate. If anything, it reinforces how fair Al's service is. I can promise that Al will answer all your questions very thoroughly and you'll likely find he works well with you to get you the best deal.

I would highly recommend them for how honest, detailed, and professional they are. So much so, that now that I've moved to Houston I would consider going back to SA for his work. I'm completely serious. There is an obvious dedication to quality and customer service from step one that can't be beat. Top notch!

I was stranded on the road and late for work, waiting for roadside assistance due to a blowout. I didn't have the proper tools on me to change the tire. Al saw me on the way back from a service call and stopped to help. I was only 30 minutes late for work, arriving well before it became a problem. He was also very courteous while changing the tire, and very reasonable about the price. I would recommend his service to anyone anytime, but especially when stranded.

This guy is amazing. He had to put in a new starter in the car, he went so far to actually clean the car with a vacuum cleaner. This was amazing customer service.

I found Al's Mobile Service on google one night and was hesitant to call because it was so late at night. I decided to call, left a voicemail, and not even five minutes later Al returned my call. From the start he was very courteous and professional. He Quoted me a price over the phone and made arrangements to fix my vehicle the next day. Not only did Al follow through with a follow up call, he arrived earlier than scheduled and made me happy in knowing we chose his service. I felt bad that he was in the sun at its worst, but not once did I hear him complain. He explained everything he was doing, what other work I needed, and gave us a great price. It is comforting to know that there are still great people in this world. I would definitely use Al's service again and recommend him to everyone. I am happy that we decided not to have our vehicle towed elsewhere. Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it.

I searched all over the Internet for a mobile mechanic to do a tune up for my 1993 corvette. I found a few mechanics and called for estimates. The reason I chose Al was because he had great reviews on his website. Boy was I right about my selection. Al is very professional and honest about his service. He quoted me on the tune up and later found out that he under quoted while he was doing the tune up job. But Al stayed with the price he originally said. Al came out to my house and immediately started the job on a hot day. I suggest offering him water because he deserved it! You wont go wrong with choosing Al to work on your vehicle. Thanks Al!

Just last month I saw Al's van at my daughter's school and thought that maybe one day it might come in handy and I was right. Key got stuck in the ignition to my suburban (in the on position of course) it was late Saturday afternoon and Labor day weekend so no one was around. A few mechanics that i called would not be able to even see it until Tuesday after Labor day and i just couldn't be without a vehicle for that long. I remembered I put Al's number in my phone and called him. He was at my home within 15 minutes, diagnosed the problem, quoted me a price, had a part delivered and did the work! There was no way all this could have been done anywhere else in that amount of time. I was very impressed by his professionalism and customer service and just his caring nature of his customers. Its such a rare thing these days....excellent customer service. I recommend this company 100%

I needed to replace the heater core on my '99 F150... I called several mechanics for estimates and then finally reached Al. That was the last call I made that evening. Not only did I choose Al for his price, but his professionalism was second to none. I knew my truck was in good hands and would RECOMMEND this company ANY DAY.

I was very impressed with the work being done right there in-front of me, with the up beat personality, and knowing that I was treated fairly. In the past I had trust issues with my mechanic, but thanks to Al - I trust him with my cars and know if I need more work done I'll be calling him. Thanks Al !!

Al just left my home, he was on time, very friendly, very courteous and very professional. He was a stickler about keeping the area clean. He provided an excellent service. He is very informative about causes of the problem and what he is doing to fix it.
I am very pleased with my encounter.
I will use him again and I will encourage my friends to use him.

Thanks Al.

I tried time and time again fixing my cars problems, but it seemed like every time I tried something else turned up broken; it came down to: I just didn't have the skill to fix what needed to be fixed. I called Al's Mobile Service and by my surprise he wanted to start on the car the next day. Al arrived and started working on the problems, later that afternoon the car was ready, he gave it a test run and then let me have a go at it, the car ran much better than before. Al is a very upbeat guy, he is very friendly and knows his stuff, another plus is that he comes to you: you just give him the car and he will fix it, it was very convenient: not having to get the car towed to his location. But what impressed me the most was his customer service: he show that he really cared for his customers and the quality of his work, I was very impressed by this, because it is hard to find a reliable trust worthy person. I will always call Al when I need my car fixed and I would refer him to anyone.

This past Saturday I bought a new battery for my car and it would not start on Sunday. The last thing I wanted to do was to waste time and try to fix it myself, I needed the car for work Monday. I was a bit concerned being that is was a Sunday....but decided to call Al's Automotive Mobile Service anyway. The first questions he asked were " are you in danger? Are you in a safe location? " I was impressed with his thoroughness in making sure his customers safety was first and foremost. He explained had I been in a dangerous situation, he would have transported me and my family to a safe location first, then arrange for the car to be towed, not risking any of our safety.

He then made it to my home within 30 minutes and diagnosed the alternator was not charging. He came back with a new alternator and even reinstalled the underdrive pulley it had on it. He quickly installed the new one and it has been working fine since. I am definitely going to recommend him to friends and family, as he has displayed the utmost in professionalism.
