What Customers Say About Eric
Copied word for word from Eric's Google reviews.
“Great experience! He was professional, knowledgeable, transparent, and reasonably priced. I really appreciated that he took the time to explain what actually needed to be done instead of trying to add unnecessary work or parts. His pricing was clear upfront, he answered all of my questions, and I never felt pressured. As a woman, finding a mechanic you feel comfortable trusting can be difficult, so the honesty and communication meant a lot to me. I’ll definitely be using him again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable mobile mechanic!”
“When I first decided to use a mobile service I was a little nervous and didnt know what to expect. I work a lot and dont really have the time to take my car to a shop and wait around. Salts waorked around my schedule, great affordable pricing. The best part was the communication. If he had to run for a part he let me know. He didn’t try to upsell me on a bunch of unnecessary fixes. If something was bad he called me out to look at it, gave his opinion and left the option up to me without pressuring me into a purchase. I will absolutely use this young man for future needs!!”
“Eric came out and did a repair on my SUV that I wasnt able to complete. Was punctual, professional, and extremely reasonable as far as pricing. Good, trustworthy mechanics are hard to find and I will definitely be using his services again.”
Radiator & Overheating Repair Questions
Why is my car overheating?
The usual causes are a coolant leak, a failing water pump, a stuck thermostat, a clogged or leaking radiator, or a cooling fan problem. Eric pressure-tests the system to find which one.
Is it safe to drive an overheating car?
No. Pull over, switch off and let it cool. Driving it hot can warp the cylinder head or blow the head gasket, which costs far more than the original repair.
How much does it cost to replace a radiator or water pump?
It depends on the vehicle. Eric gives you the price on the call, before he heads out.
Can a radiator be replaced in my driveway or a parking lot?
Yes. Eric replaces radiators, water pumps, thermostats and hoses where the car is parked.
Should I use a coolant leak sealer?
A sealer can mask a small leak for a while, but it doesn't fix the part that's failing. A pressure test finds the leak so it can be repaired properly.
Do you come out at night or on weekends?
Yes. Eric takes calls 24/7, weekends included. Visits between 6pm and 5am carry a flat $200 after-hours fee, which he tells you about on the call.
