My Mechanic – Off Road Werkz

Been to the location twice. Friendly folks, seem busy. Both times I’ve been there wanted to have $ 1200 to 1500 worth of upgrades done. They took information regarding parts and services to be completed, said the would give me a call with pricing and scheduling. Never recieved a call back. So both times business went elsewhere. Would like to try them. They get good reviews and word of mouth in jeep community. Business must have been so good they did not need my 3k…

Update: I took the jeep right back as i forgot to have them fix the leaking cowl/​windshield seal. Work was done promptly at a fair price. I left it uncovered for last nights rain and the interior is dry as a bone. Very pleased.
I’ll be back.

Hello Brent
This is in response to the shop My Mechanic/​Off Road Werkz
It is true that my van has a lift kit on the front suspension. I was up front about that I had told the shop owner Brett Miller I had a problem with alignment it is true another mechanic said to replace the upper control arms with longer ones. However the whole point in taking my van to My Mechanic/​Off Road Werkz was not because another shop wouldn’t do the work, the reason was because My Mechanic/​Off Road Werkz claims to be offroad and lift kit experts so I thought they would be the best in advising me as well as doing the job. I asked Brett the owner of the shop if replacing the upper control arms with the longer ones would work he looked at upper control arms that I had purchased and he confirmed «yes» it would work we do this all the time. Brett the owner convinced me it would work. I was relying on Brett the owner of My Mechanic/​Off Road Werkz on his expertise. I would not have spent $ 517.00 on a job without getting the advice and confirmation of an expert which I thought Brett was.
When I saw the van it looked bad the top of the wheels slanted in when I asked about it Brett the owner he said you just have to the Alignment done like it was normal.
When I took the van to have it aligned the shop said it could not be aligned the upper control arms were wrong they said that any mechanic could have seen that the arms were wrong before starting the job. (I do have letters from the alignment shop to confirm.)
Now my vehicle cannot be aligned and its not safe to drive it is worse condition than when I brought it in. The wheels wobble and it feel like they going to fall off. Also there is a lot of noise coming from the suspension that was not there before. I now need to replace the parts they damaged the spindles, the wheel bearings, and upper arms.
I feel it’s only fair to get my money back for the bad advice, damage and bad work the shop did.
Sincerely
Jason

Brett contacted me after my first telephone inquiry and subsequent review. «My Mechanic» came through for me after all and I was very pleased. I will be using them in the future and I recommend speaking to Brett with your questions!

Brent and crew are fair and honest mechanics.
Their expertise is in Jeeps and 4×4 vehicles.
What I liked is that they think and work outside the box and are good at fabrication and will work with the customer who has their own parts and ideas in relation to the final product and repair.
They take their time and don’t rush the job and will not charge extra to get the job done right. Do they do it all, no, but the off road guys in the area have a reliable and honest shop to call on.

I have been to many shops in my time and I honestly have to say that Brett and his crew are as good as it gets. They are honest, upfront, and fair guys who do an excellent job.
Coming from the east coast a couple of months ago, I found My Mechanic through Unilocal and the good reviews that they had. So I went into to talk to them and they were fast in getting me a quote for some work (new lower control arms and an airbag install for back end), and I found Brett to be very friendly and honest. It wasn’t a week later that I found out that I needed a complete brake overhaul on my rusty T-​100 that came from the east coast. So I went back to Brett to see what he could do and he was able to fit me in quickly. I felt sorry for those guys battling all the rust, and because of that the job took longer than expected and lasted into the next day. They took great care of me though and I am now back on the road and driving safe.
I will definitely use them for any mechanical needs I have in the future. Cant speak of them highly enough.

Brent is as good as it gets for an all around mechanic, although he seems to «major» in Toyotas and Jeeps, he’s worked on my wife’s 2004 Expedition and ’69 vette too. His goal is to keep your vehicle on the road as long as possible. I’ve got a 2000 Tacoma with 157K mi that he has replaced the rear diff on ($ 800) — dealer wanted 2K, He always looks out for the customer and prides himself with providing the best prices and service.
Oil changes are fast if you bring them in when he first opens M-​F around 8 — 8:30a just call ahead of time to arrange. Honest and fair, does great work!

I brought my Toyota Tundra Crew Max in for major service yesterday, and I couldn’t be happier. Not only did Brett promise to beat the price quoted by Toyota of Oxnard, but he beat it by HALF. And he didn’t cut any corners to do it. All of the parts he used are certified Toyota parts and he spent the entire day on my truck. It literally drives like a brand new truck — but it has 97,000 miles on it. With service like this, there is no reason I cannot drive this truck for another 150,000 miles, at least. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this friendly, professional and competent business.

I’ve never trusted a mechanic more than these guys!
They are so amazing and I’ve never had any issues with them I’ve the past few years I’ve lived here. I especially like that they know a lot about jeeps (that’s what I own) and I can’t recommend them enough. Great guys, great service.

These guys are great with Jeeps. Mine had a severe «death wobble» that made my jeep impossible to drive. The guys at My Mechanic tried to fix it using the cheapest route first and when that didn’t work they had to go the «expensive» route — which actually was not expensive at all considering the amount of work and time they put into it and what the dealership would have charged me. They never quit until the problem is resolved. My problem was a doozy and they tracked it and followed the issue until everything was fixed. They never tried to rip me off and were honest about everything — they just want to help. Brett is a nice, honest guy as is the rest of the My Mechanic team.

Brett has been taking care of our cars for 25 years. He has enabled us to drive our cars up to 360,000 miles on one and an average of 250,000/ car! He is honest to a fault (By which I mean to his own detriment). One example: the Vista Honda dealership told me I needed $ 2000 worth of maintenance plus a transmission. I took it to Brett and he told me that I DID need a transmission, but all the other stuff wasn’t urgent. Brett doesn’t do transmissions so this in no way benefitted him. Good work and honest.

So nice to have a mechanic who is honest and never suggests unnecessary work, he is also good at keeping in touch about what work needs to be done and how long it should take. Very reliable and helpful.

My Mechanic is probably the best place for auto maintenance around.
At My Mechanic, they provide quick and efficient service along with great customer service and reasonable prices.
I had an awful experience with the Auto Service at Toyota of Oxnard a few years back. Since then, my dad discovered My Mechanic. I now regularly go to My Mechanic for my oil changes.
This is a family run business. The employees are incredibly friendly and honestly care about your vehicle. The best thing about them is they don’t rip you off or keep your car all day. If you need a minor part replaced, they will usually just charge you for the part. I was in an accident a year ago and wanted to have my car checked out. They did a thorough inspection at no charge.
Tip:
If you need to get your oil changed, they have 8:00 AM and 8:30 AM appointments available Monday — Friday. Your oil change will be done in half an hour or less. Not only that, they are the absolute nicest people.
I highly recommend using My Mechanic for any auto maintenance needs!
