Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Sergio did a great job of diagnosing the check engine light issue. He arrived on time and very polite and professional. Thank you.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The mechanic came out quickly and did the job in half an hour. He had a great personality and the experience was a lot more convenient than going to the shop.

Sergio was on time. He checked my vehicle and found out that the issue is electrical, he reached out to his boss to get an electrician on site today. Greatly appreciated

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Took the time to assist on things he didn't need to. Fantastic technician and quick communication.

Company details

  1. Auto Repair Shop

Written by the company

Instant Car Fix is a privately held company based in the DMV area. The company provides mobile car repair and maintenance services to car owners at their location (home or office or any other location of choice). The company currently operates in DC, MD and VA and is rapidly expanding to other cities too. We realized that most auto repair shops and dealerships try to upsell their services and recommend services which are not needed. Most of the times, a simple car service trip turns into an estimate worth thousands of dollars. The cheap upsell tactics consistently instills fear into customer’s mind and most people do not like walking into an auto repair shop. A recent survey by AAA shows some staggering statistics. Two out of three auto drivers do not trust auto repair shops. An incredible 76 percent of those surveyed by AAA said they were recommended to buy unnecessary services. 73 percent said they were overcharged, and 63 percent said they had negative past experiences. Nearly half (49 percent) said that they were concerned that work won’t be done correctly. Instant Car Fix was created to solve this problem. Our goal is to provide honest quotes with quality service at the convenience of your doorsteps. We made a company you can trust, that never upsells, and believes customers should decide what services they need for their car. Our certified mechanics have years of experience working at dealerships and repair shops. Best part – we come to you! We repair cars at location of your choice so that you don’t have to walk into an auto repair shop ever again. At Instant Car Fix, we MAKE LIFE SIMPLE!

Great Work on the truck

Great Work on the truck. Was an amazing mechanic and made sure to check all the systems and work with my busy schedule and made sure the problem wasn't going to be a problem later. Definitely would use them again!

Reliable Experience with Instant Car Fix

I recently used Instant Car Fix and had a genuinely good experience overall. The booking process was simple, and their team responded quickly after I placed the request. The mechanic arrived on time, checked the issue carefully, and completed the repair professionally. I also appreciated that the pricing was reasonable and there were no unnecessary charges added later. Overall, the service felt reliable, convenient, and well managed.

Amazing mechanic went out of his way to get to a very distant location and worked very quickly The issue is the timeframe the company took to get me a mechanic as well as the company ordering the mechanic an incorrect part leading to a 6 hour increase in time lost.
