Mobile Works West

If Tom is busy and you need to wait a month, then wait a month.
Tom has done some major work on my 1970T and offers the best Quality, Value and customer service out there. Seriously.

As full disclosure, Matt is a friend of mine, and he agreed to do a ball joint replacement on my ’97 Ford F-​250 (7.3L). The dude knows Fords and drives one himself, and does all the work on it.
I hung out for the day and watched him work. Matt was impressive in his approach. Organized, clean, thoughtful, and confidence-​inspiring.
Better still, it’s a family business.

I’m very happy that I found them on Unilocal. Tom is truly exceptional. Upfront about his practice and very fair on his pricing.
I bought my 911 in for some deferred maintenance work and he was able to fix most of the issues without replacing most of the items. I can’t thank him enough for being so cost conscious.
With his level of work, I’m surprised there aren’t more reviews about him.

Amazing. Knowledgeable, helpful, and fair. Very rare in this genre of motoring.
Give advice on things that can be done on your own and when you get in over your head, Tom to the rescue. Very lucky to have found him.

Tom stopped by today to me help dial in the cam timing on my 1991 Carrera 2. I enjoy do all the work on my cars myself but its great to know Tom is around to bail me out and show me the right way to do things. Great attitude, shares his knowledge, and very professional service. He has won another customer.

Will not be going to another mechanic for any of my Porsches. Tom is a stand up and probably the most honest mechanic I have had the pleasure of doing business with. He arrives on time and does not just take his sweet time with work. He does work efficiently and effectively. Tom quoted me about three hours or so to lower my 930 and he finished in about half the time. Charged me for ONLY the time he spent on the car, and did not include his clean up time. Too many times have I walked into a shop and my car is just sitting accumulating hours, yet no one is working on it. He also tuned my 911T carburetors while he was here, although I had not initially scheduled him. Finished in a jiffy and charged a very fair price. A true professional and extremely knowledgeable. He will take the time to explain things to you and is extremely patient.
I will only be using Tom Amon for Porsche car work moving forward. With all good things, you have to be patient, as he is usually scheduled a good week or two out.

I was beginning to run out of gears on my 911. I wanted to swap my transmission and also do some other things while I would have the entire drivetrain out of the car. I had been pondering ordering a transmission and such. Finally I came to a point where I needed to get this done. At some point I came across Tom’s information and I was delighted to see he offers mobile services. I sent him an email detailing what I wanted to get done and he provided me a quote. We set up a time when he would come over. It was great that he had a core transmission so that was to be swapped in. Tom was prompt arriving, probably even a bit early. Got set up and by the end of the day the car was running with all it’s gears. Tom pointed out many things along the way and we actually accomplished much more than I ever imagined. He knows these cars inside out. Tom stands behind his work. I highly recommend him!

I was having a 911 Problem with my Ford… Wish it were a Porsche but thats life. He was the only Mobile Mechanic I could find. I called him and told him my problem, he was willing to work on my «baby» but he said for me to try Craigs list and I could find someone closer to me if not to call him back and he would come to me. I found Richie Rich Mobile Mechanic, he was FAB… I found my mobile mechanic. However I have Tom to thank and I gave his name to my cousin who does own a Porsche. This Man is so knowledgible and polite. He said if I ever had a problem and could not get help to call him. I think he is tops…

I suggest to rename Tom’s company to «Mobile Works BEST» :-)
Finding the right mechanic for a ~40yrs old car is a matter of trust and integrity. Tom’s stellar reputation made it a no-​brainer for me to entrust my ‘baby’ to him.
Tom did a phantastic job on my early 911 (overhauling the entire brake system, replacing those old worn bushings and doing some routine maintenance).
Needless to say that his mobile setup is genius — he can do most every repair job right in your own driveway.
Bottom line: I’ve got Tom’s phone# on speed dial in my phone now.

Quality, Knowledge and unsurpassed Technical experience. The is no substitution.
You can not find anyone better for your Porsche 911 than Tom. HONESTY AND INTEGRITY, period.

Unbiased review for Mobile Works West:
Having an early 911 is not without its emotional ups and downs. I had all the PPI work needing doing when I bought mine by Tom Amon as a kind of feeler as whether or not this guy lived up to his reputation, and whether or not I would use him again.
I was not disappointed. Tom does ‘home visits’ which is great if you can’t get down to San Jose, and he doesn’t mind you asking loads of dumb questions or pitching in when needed or if you want to, payable in coffee.
His mobile setup makes me smile because he just does NOT forget anything (apart from once he ran out of rubber gloves!) and once he is set up he has everything, and I mean everything to hand. (Point to note: He does not charge you for the set up and break down time it takes when working remotely.)
Cue one 90k major service and nose-​bearing later, the engine has been in and out of the car, tuned, oiled up and refitted using all new bolts screws retainers etc etc. Absolutely top draw. I have also been to his shop and I kid you not, there is full HD screen to watch the (at the time) Australian F1 Grand Prix while he lowered the car. :-)
All in all a bloody fine experience by a stand-​up professional who has intimate knowledge of these cars. I would not hesitate in recommending his work.
