Please , do yourself a favor and read & BELIEVE the reviews before you do business with this guy. I wish I would have listened to my 1st instinct and believed the reviews myself but I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. He arrived an hour late and when he arrived he was talking about a whole different job until I told him I needed an alternator replacement. He then apologize and said he had this job confused for his 2nd job of the day. He was here for almost 8 hours in total. For those 8 hours he was here, he had trouble getting the part out. Every time I came out to check he would make a different excuse. He initially told us it would be a 45 min job. The last hour he was here he was released gas and told us it was illegal for him to be releasing it but he had too. He then said he had to go to the store for a few items. He told me he “knicked” a wire on accident and had to replace it but that it always has to be done and it was normal. Once he left we went outside and our hood was closed and he took all his tools with him. We immediately knew something was up because the last times he left to the store, he always left his tools. My husband immediately noticed the hood of our car was now closed and opened it to see what was going on. He didn’t “knick” anything. He completely cut off a whole wire that had nothing to do with what he was doing or even close to what he was doing. It was a wire the car needed to even start. An hour passes by and he never shows back up. HE ALSO STOLE OUR ALTERNATOR! We immediately called another mechanic to come by since we needed our car done . When the other mechanic got here and looked at the car he was in disbelief. He said he never ever seen another “mechanic” do what he was looking at. Not only was a wire completely cut off, the radiator hose was always cut several times and drained out. He was in disbelief and said he did more damage to the car then then anything. He couldn’t understand why he continued to rip unnecessary parts out and cut them. He gave us a quote and once we agreed for a time for him to come back, he also let us know the alternator we paid mason for , was not the right one. We called o’rileys to see if we could exchange it and they couldn’t even find a receipt with his number or any account with his info on it. We are now having to pay for his mistakes and negligence. We had a feeling this was going to happen but we gave him the benefit of the doubt. Even though he got dropped off and didn’t have his own vehicle. Even though he confused this job for another. Even though he didn’t have the right tools. He will not answer any of our calls or messages. I am writing this review in hopes someone else doesn’t have to go through , what we are going through. He will cut random wires and hoses and then just leave. We will be reporting him to the state and take him to small claims. STAY AWAY!!! DO NOT GIVE THIS GUY ANY BUSINESS, NONE! READ THE REVIEWS! Thankful we found an honest mechanic who is motivated to get our car up...

Please read this review..I know its long but it will definitely be helpful. I WISH i could go back in time. Called him to switch out my crankshaft and camshaft sensors. Car wouldn't start so he diagnosed it. First he said it was the starter, said he was sure of it. Replaced the starter and guess what?, still didnt start. Should have stopped him there, then his next diagnosis was my timing chain tensioner. Had him return the new starter for the old one because he guaranteed me it would work, and use that money for the tensioner. Starter was 190 and he said tensioner was going to be 200 for parts and 700 for labor. He said he had to order 2 tensioners because he wasn't sure which one to buy, the day he actually went to puck up the tensioner he said it was actually 240 but only had 100 on him. Said if i gave him the 140 he'd subtract it from the remaing balance for labor. I stupidly agreed. I know this is partly my fault but i was desperate to get my vehicle fixed. He replaced the tensioner and still wouldn't start. Said timing was off. I had enough. Luckily i only paid him for half the job. But he still came up because he left the receipt and the tensioner was only 85 dollars. So he pocketed the remaining 110 from the new starter plus the 140..we had a little argument because i asked him to put my car back together. Said he was either gonna finish the job or not. And if i didnt want him to finish I'd be canceling the contract..which he never even produced a contract. Then when he was leaving he threatened to take me to small claims and own my car if i left a bad review. 🤣 Not to mention he drained all my engine oil on my driveway and acted like no big deal..his exact words were "just throw some dirt on it". I should get him fined for that. Another thing, he came with his lady and her kids..had them running all over my lawn. So unprofessional. He bills the parts at oreilys to a place called backyard transmissions. Please people..do not give him the time of day. Had a reliable mechanic look at my car..there was absolutely no compression. Gonna get the engine replaced. Also claimed to have came out of pocket 60 bucks and said i had to pay it before he left his house and that if i didnt pay it he would own my car. Complete freaking joke. Wish i could leave negative stars. All together i lost out $880. 200 to replace the sensors, 190 for the starter, 350 for half of the tensioner job and 140 for the tensioner. He is not a good mechanic..and is not a...

Do not trust this man. I was stuck in a parking lot and he shows up offering to help took him multiple hours to fix my car which I understood, my car ran for 10-20 mins but after that never turned on again and I spent over $350. He offered to come “fix” my car which I let him, couple days go by and doesn’t reach back out so I’m constantly calling/texting to see when he can come back and finally I get a response 4 days later. He says he’ll be here tomorrow but then doesn’t come by for another week or so. He says he fixed my car so after work headed to go drive it and it turned on and ran then it just starts shaking bad so I pop the hood and I see burn marks all over the engine bay I ask him what happened to my car he says “your car caught fire” like if that wasn’t something I should know about as soon as it happens?!? He offers to come take a look at my car but I haven’t heard back from him since that day and it’s been about 2 months now . This man is a scam 100%...
