Mobile Mechanics

Wife and then teenage kiddo has had a 1996 Sub Outback and Buddy has been keeping this thing running for years. We have felt he has never charged us for extra work and worked with us to just keep it running for the kid. He has told us about needing valve/​ring job due to burning oil and then finally needing a new clutch. He has worked with us to work either around those issues we don’t want to pay for (ring issue) or like the clutch has continued to adjust it until this year when it finally went out.
Buddy has been honest at every stage and has worked with us due to limited finances. After clutch went out, we went out and got a Honda Civic for the kid (friends had a cheap car). But we have another newer Outback and when/​if it starts having problems, Mobile Mechanics will be our first and only choice for service.

Buddy is the Subaru whisperer of the Front Range. I’m not kidding. He listens to you, then just takes your car for a drive and comes back with a diagnosis. It’s rather movie-​esque.
The first time I took my Legacy in, he did all of the above, came back into the office and wrote down what was wrong with the car on a piece of paper. Then he told me exactly which part of the warranty covered each of these repairs and that I should take the car across the street and make the dealership fix all of them, which I did.
He saved me thousands of dollars. I’ve never had a better experience with a mechanic.

I’ve had 2 experiences here and they were both fantastic. First time I was sent over from an oil change after the mechanic servicing my car said a belt was loose in the engine. Buddy diagnosed and fixed this within minutes and I was on my way. Fit me right in.
In my recent experience we were hearing from another shop that something pretty major was wrong in my rear differential. We were nervous it would be pretty pricey. Bring it do Buddy, who seemed pretty darn busy, and he took my car for a spin and diagnosed it immediately. Ridiculous (and embarrassing) enough, it was loose lug nuts and one was even missing. They tightened and replaced them right away and I was on my way.
Love this place!

After getting disgusted with the Subaru dealership up the street from Mobile Mechanics who were always trying to sell me on something I didn’t need, I started asking my friends who have Subarus where they take their cars, and everyone recommended Buddy at Mobile Mechanics. In fact, he seems to be a living legend in the west suburbs! My car needed its 30,000 mi. maintenance, and the Subaru dealership wanted over $ 600. Buddy did it for $ 324.
The waiting room at Mobile Mechanics is bare bones. There is no air conditioning, free coffee and doughnuts, fruit tray, TV, library, huge aquarium, or shuttle service like at the Subaru dealership up the street. Plus, I had to wait two weeks for an appointment! But if you want to save money and not get ripped off, try Buddy, an honest guy with over 30 years experience working on Subarus, I’m sure glad I found him.

Buddy and the crew at Mobile Mechanics have worked on my cars for at least five years and I’ve always been extremely happy with their work. Buddy’s long time experience in the field is evident by his vast knowledge of Subarus. Many times I have called with an issue and he knew exactly what was wrong with it. I always appreciate how willing he is to help out, many times he’s offered to take a look at my car without an appointment if I can stop by. I’ve never felt like Buddy was trying to rip me off like I feel dealerships always do. I can’t express how much I love this business. I know several families that have trusted buddy for two generations. I’ll continue to use Mobile Mechanics as my first choice Subaru mechanic for as long as I live in Colorado.

Having received good service from Buddy previously I took my vehicle in for a timing belt replacement and was given a quote of $ 650. The final bill was more than $ 150 higher and was over $ 800. Needless to say I was not happy with the increase in price and thought maybe he found something else that he repaired when working on my car, however I didn’t receive a call about the price increase or to inform me that there was some other problem he found.
I picked up my car after hours so didn’t get to talk to Buddy about what the increase was due to. When I looked at the bill I was surprised to see the parts for the timing belt replacement cost a whopping $ 490 and it looked like just the standard parts one would expect for a timing belt replacement job. He charged $ 150 for the cambelt, $ 165 for idlers, and $ 145 for the tensioner. I’m not a mechanic, but this seems really high for those parts.
When I called to inquire about the price increase from the original quote I was given he told me the tensioner was not included in the original quote. I was kind of surprised at this response as it seems to me it should be included in a standard timing belt replacement, if you go to the labor expense of replacing the timing belt it would be prudent to replace the tensioner at the same the time. I was disappointed in the increase in price and the overall price for the job in particular the parts seemed to be excessively high. Also I would expect a price increase of over $ 150 which represents 25% more than the original quote would be discussed with the customer and to have been informed before the repair that the tensioner was not included and would add another $ 150 to the price.
I didn’t have the original quote in writing it was just a verbal quote since I trusted him and didn’t expect something like this to happen. Overall disappointed by this experience.

I’ve been to Buddy several times and he is a straight shooter. Reasonable prices and honest, competent service. Tough to ask for more.

Buddy is great. Professional service and inexpensive. I will never take another Subaru to anyone else. He knows everything about a Subaru.

I own an older Subaru Outback that i thought was in need of brakes and always smells like fuel. Took it to Mobile Mechanics based on Unilocalers reviews and had a great experience!
Buddy informed me that my brakes were still good and have some life left. He also tightened the fuel lines for me and did an overall visual inspection on the car.
This is the first time i’ve ever left a mechanics with a smile on my face.
Mobile Mechanics have earned a loyal customer for as long as i have a Subaru!

Buddy and his team are great. They know more about Subarus than most dealers could dream of. He is very honest and reliable as well. I no longer have a Subaru but if I got one again, this is where I would take it.

I own a newer Subaru Legacy and replacing the low beam headlight on this car couldn’t be more difficult.
I stopped by mobile mechanics to just ask advise and he said, «pull it around and I’ll do it real quick!» What a nice guy!
Other people have recommended this place prior, but I’m now a loyal customer.
If you have a Subaru bring your car here! They couldn’t be more knowledgable and friendly! Thanks!

One of my clients told me about Mobile Mechanics who specialize fixing Subaru. She had been going to him for years. I have never been so impressed with a mechanic. I had a leaky gas line and my defroster was broken. I thought I was going to have to leave the car there. They got my car right in and was able to diagnose and fix the problems quickly and they were very reasonable.

I’ve taken my Subaru to buddy for 3 years now, and frankly its relieving to know that when I take my car to him I won’t get taken for a ride. I think thats why he’s so busy. His son is very nice as well.

I actually feel more educated about my car. Not only do they know subarus they know how to communicate in a way that kept me (not a car savvy girl) included in the process so I could make an informed decision. Honest, knowledgable and truly just great all around. Thanks for such great service!

Buddy and family are great! I used to take my car to AutoNation for general maintenance until a friend turned me onto Mobile Mechanics. He said they only work on Subarus, and they are honest and do good work. They were right! I have always been so impressed with the way Buddy runs his business. They offer very fair prices, sure to be lower than the dealership prices. They are also fast. If you make an appointment for an oil change, they’ll have you back on the road within 30 minutes. Finding an honest mechanic wasn’t easy, but I found one in these guys. I highly recommend Mobile Mechanics

Have used Buddy for 5 Subarus over the past 20 yrs and you won’t find anyone more knowledgeable or honest in the Denver metro area. He has forgotten more than most mechanics will ever know. Highly recommend the shop.

This place is AMAZING!!! If you own a Subaru, this is the place to go! The owner is really helpful and the prices are great! I was looking for a new car and I took a couple of them here and they throughly looked them over and gave me great advice!!! Thanks Mobile Mechanics! You are awesome!!!

A friend recommended this place years ago. They only do Subaru’s, and they are incredibly honest, thorough, and efficient. B/​c they only do Subaru’s, they know exactly what things cost when you call about it, and they are half of what the dealer (2 blocks away) costs. I even called Buddy when I was going to buy a used Subaru for my sister, and he told me what models and years to avoid b/​c of mechanical problems.
Last week, I got an oil change at a local Subaru dealer near my office. They gave me a list of things wrong w the car– totaling $ 3500 in repairs! I asked Buddy to look at it, and he did– for free– and told me NOTHING the dealer told me was wrong needed to be fixed. NOTHING, vs $ 3500! (he told me another lady had something very similar happen to her from the dealer across the street, as well, with nothing wrong).
I will always use this company, and send as many friends as I can to him. He does warranty work, as well!

Absolutley the most honest and competent subaru mechanics you’ll ever deal with. I actually look forward to my car breaking down now so I can have the pleasure of dealing with Buddy and crew.
