Had an oil change on the volkswagon touareg. But ended up breaking the rubber ring around the filter and caused oil to leak out through the engine. Had to bring it to dealership for a costly repair.

Called Max on a Monday evening at 10 minutes to six with an issue where my young son, on his way to college, traveling with his younger sister had broken down in West Hollywood. I am in Washington state and was quickly becoming a helpless feeling panicked parent. Driving out of temperatures that were hovering just below 100 degrees and heading into temperatures 110+ degrees I knew this was a trip that would challenge my sons car. From time of first contact to having my kids back on the road was less than 1 hour and very reasonably priced for a mobile mechanic. Max found that my son's car had a bad coolant temp sensor and was low on coolant. After the exceptional service I went back and read some of his reviews. I found another reviewer that did not approve of how Max runs his business but this dad can sure appreciate a response such as this. Happy to have been able to make contact with a good human!Thank you Max!

Grateful I found Max! It was so easy to meet him and have my car looked at. I was worried not knowing much about engineered parts of the car, but I am certainly sensitive to people’s energy and I could tell max is a honest and good person/ professional & knowledgeable mechanic. He also shared some tips and things I shall know to maintain the car well. It was quick, efficient and informative. Thank you so much and I will certainly return for oil change soon as well! ?

I came to Max's with a VW in need of shocks/struts and an oil separator replacement. During the first service, I was advised I would need to have both axles replaced and had those services added. Overall, it was a mixed experience and not a shop I could recommend.The good:-Shocks/struts were replaced without issue-Oil separator was replaced without issue-One axle was replaced without issueThe bad:-The posted photos imply a shop with a garage, but all my interactions took place at an apartment building, which immediately struck me as odd.-After the first service, my car began to drive very poorly (shaking and rattling when accelerating and turning) and ultimately left the shop with worse problems than I started with-Max advised me that the issue was likely the differential and told me he it would be very expensive to fix-After taking the car to another shop, the issue was revealed to be one of the axles Max replaced and/or improper installation. I replaced the axle I purchased from Max, and the car has been driving smoothly since.

I'm a Dad who owns a repair shop. So, I normally do all the work on my daughters' cars. Unfortunately, one of them is 900 miles away now so not easy for me to help out when her Audi A3 had a problem. Dealer near her was outrageously priced and I needed a guy like me to help out. Max was a perfect fit... experienced and well mannered. He fixed my daughter's car for 1/3 the cost of the dealer and was very kind to my daughter. Now I have a go to guy near her for all her car needs. Thanks Max!Service: Engine repair

I'm a Dad that owns a repair shop but my daughter was 900 miles away when she needed some work done on her A3. Dealer in LA was outrageous. I needed someone who would take care of my daughter as well as her car in the same manner I would. Max fit the bill. Did the work for 1/3 the cost of the dealer and was great for my daughter. Really enjoyed working with him (as did my daughter).

10/10 experience and service. Max tested and replaced my battery in 30 minutes. After a terrible 3 day long experience with VW DTLA dealership, Max was a godsend. He was knowledgeable, quick, and 1/2 the price VW quoted me. He just gained a loyal, repeat customer! Thank you!!!Service: Battery

Here’s a tip- get a formal quote/estimate with his name, address, and business information. You won’t.Not sure how my previous review was removed but I am fervent about warning people about Max. He is rude, unprofessional, demanding, works out of his apartment illegally, and does shoddy work. I brought my car to him because it needed a new radiator. I paid for the part up front, he installed it days after we agreed, and only attached the hose! Didn’t even mount it to the manifold. I had to take my car back to him twice in two weeks from other problems that stemmed from his ‘work’ and when the radiator problem came up again the next month, he refused to even speak with me. Work is terrible. Even speaking with max is terrible. His operation is illegal and now I know why. He can’t stand behind any of his work. I tried to work with him to figure out what went wrong and he demanded more money and stopped answering my calls. Not to mention called me childish names. Insanity. I have reported him to the bureau of automotive repair. I hope they shut him down. I will keep reposting this experience as max keeps trying to take it down.

Very knowledgeable, knew how to quickly fix a VW Beetle shifting problem that others were unsure/unwilling to tackle, kept me updated with texts and for a reasonable rate, call for arrangements.
