A Plus Mobile Mechanic Service

Todd is an amazing professional. Came out on a Sunday evening to help my daughter who has two small children and works. The problem was bigger than described over the phone and in the dark he stayed more than three hours to complete installing a new alternator. He has worked for us many times and is honest and really cares. He insisted that I use his blanket to warm my ten month old granddaughter as we checked in on him. Todd is a really hard worker and is very knowledgable and can help make a repair painless and effective.

Todd is a busy guy but he got my vehicle functioning again after troubleshooting and fixing the shift gear that was stuck in park. He’s professional. He kept me up to date on his plans. I plan on using him again.

The boys and I love Todd! He got my Bronco running, converted my drum brakes to disc and fab’d new brake lines on my driveway (in the rain). Now the boys and I can enjoy the ride!
He’s also one of the few small business owners who is still looking out for their clients. He’s always available, works hard and will always side on saving his clients the most money where he can.
Todd is also great with kids — which is why they boys refer to him as the «Bronco Friend».
Highly recommended.

Todd goes above and beyond what you would expect of a mechanic. He does great work and got the Pipeninja Plumbing van up and running within 2 days! We will be using him in the future for any and all vehicle needs!

I am an avid Unilocal lurker but have never before felt compelled to write a review on Unilocal.However, Todd deserves the highest of recommendations. The short story is that he went above and beyond what any other mechanic, or any business for that matter, would go for his customer. He is knowledgeable, hard-​working, and above all honest. What sets Todd apart from other mechanics is his diligence. There is no doubt in my mind that he will be my go-​to mechanic for as long as he is in the business.
Now here is the long story. I had just bought this car, and gotten it «inspected» by a shop on the Eastside that specializes in German cars before buying it. This shop had told me upon inspection that I required new accessory belts, rear trailing arm bushings, and control arm bushings on my ’92 BMW 318i. So, I bought the replacement parts and just needed somebody competent to install them on the vehicle. I had gotten many exorbitant quotes from local workshops for replacing these parts and was getting ready to pay close to the value of vehicle for the repairs. Finally, I got on Unilocal and found this listing with a five-​star rating. Almost immediately after texting him, Todd provided me with a labor estimate that was under half the LOWEST estimate I had found at shops. I was a little hesitant as Unilocal is notorious for having fake reviews nowadays and his quote was so cheap, but boy am I glad that I went with him.
The next morning, Todd shows up at my work at the promised time ready to perform the repairs. After getting under the car and looking at the parts that this other shop had claimed were damaged, he said that the rear trailing arm bushings were in fact not damaged and did not require replacement! He could have just replaced them and pocketed the money but it is obvious that his goal is to save his customers money. He replaced all the belts in record time, and the wretched belt squeak was history! He then moved on to the control arm bushings, and quickly realized that I had ordered the wrong part. I should have ordered the bushing already pressed into the brackets. BMW requires a specialized for pressing the old bushings out and the new bushings into their brackets. He promptly ordered the press for rental, which would be available the next day at 10am, so he would come back to finish the work.
Since he got done so quickly, I asked him to look my car over for other potential issues that would be coming up soon. The first thing he did was checked the oil dipstick, and immediately identified that there were metal particles in the oil. He showed me the oil with obvious glints of metal in there. Needless to say I was shocked, since this car had just gone through the pre-​buyers inspection weeks ago, and that shop had completely overlooked such a glaring issue that Todd found in under a minute of inspection of the vehicle. Todd volunteered to go grab some engine flush and new oil and filter to try to drain some of the weathered shavings out of the engine. At no charge to me, except the oil and engine flush which he fronted money for, Todd flushed my engine and changed the oil and filter.
The next day, Todd texted me a little before 10am and informed me that the press that he was set to rent was arriving late, and he was waiting at the distributor for the tool. Around an hour later, he informed me that the press that arrived was not the one he had ordered, but he was on his way anyways to give it his best shot. Upon arrival at my workplace again, Todd immediately began attempting to remove the old bushings out of the bracket. Unfortunately, they did not budge from their bracket after almost an hour pressing and prying. He then spent another hour sourcing brackets to just push the new bushings into so he did not have to remove the old ones. Todd told me that he had another customer waiting on a repair and then his kids soccer game to coach, and he’d be back by 7pm for the repair.
An hour later (about 4pm), I got a call from Todd saying that he had not left because he did not want to leave the project unresolved, and in fact had delayed his next job and canceled his coaching engagement. He spent the next two hours going from shop to shop to find one that would press the bushings. Finally, by 7pm, they were pressed and ready to install. The grand finale installation took under an hour despite still not having the correct press, Todd just used brute strength to push the bushings into place.
This review should demonstrate one point: Todd is a certified badass who canceled all other engagements to alleviate a doomed situation. He gave it all he had and persevered. The other stellar reviews on this page highlight his efficiency when all goes right. In this situation, Todd took a nightmare situation and used innovation and creativity to turn it into a flawless repair, even if it took 8+ hours of his time. The best part is, he did not expect more payment. In his line of work, there is no one else out there that compares.

Todd was prompt and knowledgeable. He came to my home, saving me towing fees, when it was convenient to me. He got the job done right the first time and even did a little tune up free of charge! I feel he charged a fair price for a great job! The next time I am in need of a mechanic to make my car run right I will contact him for sure!

Todd (the owner) responded to my call almost immediately and was able to come out to take a look at my car the very next morning, whereas many others were not able to help me until a few days later. Though it was raining, he continued to work and was able to get my car up and running (my starter was toast) in the estimated time he gave me before starting the work. If you are looking for someone who is reliable, efficient, and friendly, Todd is your guy!

My work van broke down at a customer’s house and I was fortunate enough to find Todd Hoffmann (A Plus Mobile Mechanic Service) to bail me out. He showed up promptly and figured out what was wrong very quickly. It was late in the day and he went above and beyond to get me going. He didn’t quit until the job was done (the next day) and he did a great job! The van is running better than ever and Todd is a pleasure to work with. The cost was reasonable and I would highly recommend his service. Keep his number in your car! 425−622−4913. You’ll be glad you did!
