Rocket Automotive Repairs

May 2020

My daughter is home for a visit and her car broke down in the driveway. Thought it just needed a new starter. After trying DIY, discovered it was a job for a younger man. Called Michael and he came to the house 2 hours later. His quotation was fair. After replacing the starter, we discovered the REAL problem was a bad rod bearing and likely the engine had seized, only to restart after cooling down and having a new starter. Major disappointment as the car is a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 170K miles. Michael arrived on time, worked hard, did exactly what he said he would do...only to discover there wasn't anything he could do to solve our problem. He offered to add the house-call "repair" price to a future repair rather than collect his fee for this repair (since there was nothing he could do to get the car running today). He's a very nice guy and certainly seems to know his way around cars. I give him my highest rating and STRONGLY recommend him. Nice young man with integrity--a rare find!

Michael is one in a million. I'm very leary of most mechanics. It took me 4 others before Michael to honestly and professionally get my vehicle back to smooth running. A colleague of a friend of mine recommended him as a mobile mechanic. On his initial visit, he showed up on time and was waiting on me! He did a more thorough investigation than I had ever seen a mechanic do. Most just plug in a code reader and diagnose without digging in. He gave me a fair estimate for the work needed. Unfortunately I didn't heed his advice and ended up needing to replace the entire engine. However, Michael professionally guided me through the process and gave me a fair and honest assessment of the best available options and no pressure to do additional work, some of which I did and some that I will do in the near future. Only once before while living in another state have I come across a more honest AND competent auto mechanic. Thanks Michael! I look forward to doing all future work on my vehicles with you! Fair rates and professional work. It's awesome when I find a service provider that meets and even exceeds my high expectations!
