Dan’s Mobil

Went to the shop at the spur of the moment… I needed a Smog Check… They went out of their way to assist me… I am so going back when I need any help!!!

The issue that the vehicle originally was brought in for was not addressed. Since that time, Dan’s has serviced my vehicle to satisfaction.

I’ve been coming to Dan’s mobile for about 15 years for gas and repairs such as tire replacements, flat repairs, and smog certification on my vehicles. Always great customer service, prompt responses, Reasonable prices and quick action on my problems. Wayne is always helpful and very direct when quoting prices. Great local business and dedicated to making their customers happy. I highly recommend this for your auto repair needs.

My appointment for a smog check was made within 10 minutes of arrival on a Saturday morning. 20 minutes later I was ready to go.
Fast, friendly service at a fair price with a redeemed coupon.

I actually grew up with Dan’s kids in the 90’s, but sadly went almost 15 years of driving before taking a car to his shop. Our previous mechanic had really been letting us down, adding seemingly little charges to our initial quote making it balloon by the time we paid. Not here! I had the codes ran on our truck to ensure it wasn’t the gas cap, this happens occasionally even with it screwed in tight. Turned out a bad coil was causing a misfire. After seeing Dan’s on AAA I gave them a call to see if it was possible to fix today. They said come on over, so I did. Dan reran the codes and agreed, telling me I could pay $ 130 to have it 100% diagnosed, but he was fairly sure it was just the coil. I decided to save the extra cash and go with it. I was right to trust Dan’s judgement! It was just the coil, but he also discovered my spark plugs are terrible! (I paid for new ones in December my old mechanic decided not to give me apparently…) He told me a new price to replace them all or have the option to do the one with the coil for now, I did the latter, opting to come back in a week to replace the rest. After only three (yes, only three, we’re talking mechanics here lol, this would have been a ten hour full day job for my previous shop) hours my truck was running like new, I can only imagine how great it will feel with the others replaced! The best part, when I paid it was exactly my quote, plus the $ 20 spark plug, no other surprises! I will be taking my truck here from now on!!!

Dan’s Mobil treats their customers with courtesy, kindness and friendly service. The mechanics handle repairs and cashiers ring up merchandise promptly and have each customer on his or her way, especially when time is of the essence. The Mechanics do excellent work, and they make sure you get what you need. Customer service is very important at Dan’s. That fellow John, excels in providing quality service and is always smiling.

Dan is friendly and pleasure to do business with. His care for making you happy is important!

I made an appointment to have my smog checked and my oil changed at Dan’s. After we talked for a little bit, the service techs said my car didn’t need an oil change at this time, which saved me some money! Their smog testing was quick and efficient and the prices were reasonable. I visited their website and used a $ 20 off voucher to save money on the smog testing. Very friendly, professional guys working here.

These Guys are awesome! Being a former repair shop owner and moving to the area, I did my research to find a quality and professional shop. I did just that, at Dan’s! I was treated exactly as I would expect from these professionals. I’m was glad to get a follow up call as well a few days after my repair. Awesome Job Guys, I will be back…

Jessie (mechanic) mention that my car needed a other couple things done. Which I finally got completed at a other location. And now my car drives brand new again.
First let me say Jessie a great communicator. I don’t know much by cars but his really good at breaking things down and explaining it in a way that I could understand.
As for the price well its expensive However, i will use this shop for a second opinion if I ever need a big job done to my car.
And as for Dan’s message Its not completely accurate but am in no mood to argue or debate the details.
Just ask for Jessie if you ever go to Dan’s shop. And you’ll be in good hands.

I took my car to Dans Mobil for a last minute smog test. I found a $ 20 off coupon online and needed a test that day. This was late in the day and he was able to get it done fast. I was happy with his service for smog service. It was a little expensive so beware.

These guys are Great. I’ve taken my cars here for years to have them smogged they’ve done right by me and always send me follow up emails and discount coupons! They even send oil change reminders and other maintenance reminders.
My Old (1989 Suburban) didn’t pass smog. Wayne took the time to give ALL of the possible outcomes — and most of them were sad! In the end the Suburban prevailed and will be on the road for many years to come. The cost of parts and repairs were reasonable. Catalytic Converters wear out and cost $$ to replace.
These guy are great. It’s tough to find people to trust to repair your car when you can’t.

Dan has helped me out with smog inspections when I needed them and has always been helpful. I will always recommend him since he is AAA approved.

Don’t let the bad reviews fool you. People always have something to complain about when it comes to sometimes costly auto service.
As a former employee and regular customer, I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my car. The fact of the matter is these are all highly trained professionals that know what they are doing. It’s hard these days to find a shop that is upfront and honest about repairs like these guys are. Most shops will quote a small amount only to run up the bill later. These guys look at the bigger picture and come up with a quote that more accurately reflects the level of work required.
They tend to be a little pricier than most shops. But you are definitely paying for quality service and not for some amateur to duct tape your car back together. You can also know you are supporting a small business with a strong regular customer base. These people come back because they know that Dan runs a fantastic business that supports it’s community. Keep up the awesome work guys!

We’ve been taking our Silverado here for five+ years. Always professional, always timely with the service, always feel that we have been fairly treated. Would definitely recommend to anyone. They help us remember the care for our vehicle by emailing reminders of services that needs to be performed, they are aware when it’s time for our tags on this vehicle and the possible need for a smog and will send a coupon for the service. It is very much appreciated. I’ll see you guys next year! Sooner if need be, but hopefully not. ;-)

I always come to Dan’s Mobil to get my oil changed. The employees are extremely helpful and honest. I’ve also found that they are quick in finishing the job and do great work. I appreciate their service and I highly recommend them!

We were on a road trip and our car started having trouble. I found Dan’s Mobil because it was AAA recommended, and I can certainly see why. When we called beforehand they were helpful and kind, assuring us that they could take care of us quickly. When we got there, Dan helped us immediately. He was able to diagnose our problem on the spot and even referred us to a nearby shop that specialized in what we needed because he knew it would take him longer. Dan is trustworthy and incredibly helpful. I only wish he could be my local mechanic!

Took both of my vehicles there. Very positive experience. Had my car towed there because the engine light was on and it was overheating. He not only fixed it ahead of schedule right before the July 4^th but he also fixed it under estimate. Nice guys and very professional

I would not recommend this place. I brought my car here to be tested and it failed by a small small margin. The shop were willing to retest the car, provided that I pay for a 129.99 Diagnostic test, and have all repairs done at the shop. Otherwise I would need to pay full price for another test. I have had my car smogged at various places in the Los Angeles area for years (as I lived out that way for a while), and this is not a normal practice for a reputable place.
Something seemed off, that everything would pass but one a few point over NO (PPM), and their only answer was to pay another 129.99 for diagnostics, plus the work on whatever problem they would find. So I asked the mechanics in my family for their opinion, and then a few other mechanics, and they agreed it was a simple and common fluke, that did not need a diagnostics, and that more ethical smog places would have just told the car owner and retested.
Then again, technically the shop is not obligated to retest, or to tell me a simple fix, and their offer for diagnostics and repair is also within bounds. They did offer CA help info, which they didn’t have to do, but ethically speaking, I expected and hoped for more, and I was stupid enough to fall for this. Never again.

I’m a retired Automotive Tech teacher, and every time I get a smog test I think to myself, «I really need to write a review on Unilocal». Well here goes. The whole group of people that work with Dan are great folks. Dan too for that matter, and as a teacher and volunteer for youth, I really appreciate that he gives back to youth activities as well. They are always helpful beyond the call of duty.
Honesty is a big deal to me and I appreciate they are straight forward and thorough. I do all my own work, but with that said, I have been on the other side of the desk too. And I know no one likes car bills but they are a fact of life. Some people don’t even WANT to know what services should be performed to keep them safe from accidents and engine failure. That has always been beyond my understanding. I think they must be the ones that rate his shop so low. Go figure.
Good people, great service, honesty and integrity, a AAA rating, and gives back to the community. Jeepers… I think that’s a darn good place to start when looking for a company to do business with. I’ve got a feeling I will be doing business with them for a long time to come,
Thanks Dan, and thanks to you all your group that continue to make my experiences pleasant. –Erick
