I am writing to formally express my extreme dissatisfaction with the service I received from Instant Car Repair regarding a fuel pump replacement on my 2012 Toyota Camry. On 12/16/25 I hired your service to replace what I suspected was a failing fuel pump. After the job: My car would not start at all, even with the old pump reinstalled. The issue has clearly worsened, indicating gross mishandling of the vehicle during your work. Your technician spent hours at my location and ultimately left without resolving the issue, claiming the problem “might be the connector,” which was vague and unhelpful. Additionally, your billing practices are unacceptable. Charging $1,067 for a fuel pump replacement that not only failed to fix the vehicle but also made it worse — and then refusing to perform proper diagnostics without further payment — is completely unprofessional and exploitative. Your lack of professionalism and disregard for the state of my car has already cost me time, money, and trust, and I will ensure prospective customers are aware of this experience.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Made an appointment, they never showed, cs called and wanted to reschedule for the next day- I said no. Next day mechanic shows- company knew order was cancelled and told us we’d get a refund. Charge went through- now no one can help us! STAY AWAY FROM THIS NIGHTMARE!

This is trash. I paid for a job and the mechanic never showed and knew that he wasn't going to show but no one ever called me to relay to me. Now they taking their sweet ass time refunding my money. DO NOT USE, THEY ARE VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!

These clowns are a joke. Offer service until 11pm although couldn’t get anyone out when I called at 5pm. They convinced me to have it scheduled for the next day at 11am. Ok, if that’s all we can do. So I schedule it for between 11am-3pm the next day. They changed my time to between 2pm and 6pm and argued that I made a mistake. No sir I did not. They only changed it AFTER I sent payment. How convenient. Customers BEWARE. Figure something else out. Not worth the headache!!

Scammer Alert!!! I purchased a mobile mechanic service to come assist me after breaking down on the side of the road... after 700$ and no one arriving on time I called them to see what's going on. these doofus's were going to head over to my shipping address when I told them the exact location where my vehicle was. Upon spending two days fighting with the chinese customer service lady, she claimed "I spoke with my managers, and we will get you a full refund without any fees". AS soon as she hangs up they send an email stating that entire 700$ will be charged in cancelation fees. LOL. So they want to charge me for a service that was never completed. 100% will be disputing this with my bank. Stay far, far away from these people. Look at their BBB reviews if you don't believe me. Google reviews are inaccurate, anyone can add them.

Rip off dishonest company! Awful experience. The Mechanic showed up over an hour late. All I needed was to have my brakes bled...I had to help him by pumping the brakes while he went under to bleed the front lines. I don't think he even did anything... He didn't have anything to drain the lines into like a pan... which i thought was very suspicious. He said the air is in the back brake lines. He then told me that he couldn't do the back ones because he would have to take off the tires and he couldn't do it... why he couldn't take off the tires and do it is beyond me. What kind of mechanic can't take off tires and bleed the brake line? A lazy one! I want my $234 back. I deserve a refund. Nothing got fixed. He was there for only about 20 minutes. I feel as if they stole my money. I feel like I have been tricked. They should be ashamed to do do shady business like this.

The guy came out here to fix alternator belt. Took pictures and lied. He came out here and didn't even touch belt. It was making a clicking noise. He said that was normal. Manager from advance said that was a lie!! I paid 356 for nothing and have to call anothet mechanic out here.

Mechanic showed up to change spark plugs and proceeded to break off at least 2 while trying to remove them. Agreed to return to complete job after getting a tool that I had to order. Did not come back and he told his home office he completed job. Upon contacting office, they made no attempt to rectify problem. Have text messages and pictures showing the mechanic was not truthful. I don't believe they really screen their mechanics and in my case it was a problem. I now have a truck that won't run sitting in my driveway and had to open up a complaint with the Missouri State Attorney General. Unfortunately no way to know what mechanic will be like.
