HONEST Prof. Mobile Auto Tech W/30 Yrs. Exp., Degree & Certifications in Mankato, Minnesota For Sale
When you read through this posting you will find references made to the Arizona area and I will modify those later but for now I am back in Minneapolis and servicing customer throughout the metro. I am driving a step van filled with over $50,000.00 in equipment and buying equipment frequently. I am one of few highly honest people here who are set up as a business and legit.
Thank You.
* LICENSED
* Professional Auto Technician with a Technical Degree
* 30 Years experience.
* GM Certifications and ASE Certifications.
* Website to private customers.
* MY SERVICES ARE THE ONLY SERVICES THAT HAS TECHNICAL SUPPORT-I HAVE TWO HIGHLY RECOGNIZED SOFT WARES FOR PRICING AND DIAGNOSES.
Searching for good trusting customers who want to save money WITH AN EXTREMELY HONEST TECHNICIAN.
Speaking of ASE TESTING....Did you know that ASE only requires a technician to have two years of experience in the field. This means he could be a lube man or parts counterman who works for a recycler...THIS DOESNT SAY MUCH ABOUT THE TESTING PROGRAM AND WHO IS PROPERLY QUALIFIED.
Do you know who is working on your vehicle at the shop you take your vehicle too? Probably not because you deal with a Service Writer. You have the right to ask about who is working on your vehicle. Do you know that there is not enough trained Auto Technicians in this country to hire? These owners have to hire untrained mechanics and hope they can do the work right. YOU ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASK FOR YOUR OLD PARTS AND INSPECT THEM AFTER THE REPAIR. This company leaves all old parts in your vehicle for you to inspect and dispose of them.
My service rates are;
$45.00 FLAT RATE HOUR FOR ALL REPAIRS.
If you know what FLAT RATE means at $45.00 per hour-THAT IS VERY INEXPENSIVE, THIS AMOUNT IS ABOUT HALF THE COST OF THE BIG SHOPS!!
Alot of prices are already set for services.
I own the same software and technical support those big shops use to do estimating. You won't find very many MOBILE TECHNICIANS with this software, so I urge you to be careful who you select to repair your vehicle. If they do not have access to the technical support services like I do, they could be doing repairs wrong on your vehicle and you could end up with more problems then you want to have down the road.
I AM A MEMBER OF THE INTERNATIONAL AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIANS NETWORK(IATN). I am also part of a large network of sites that provide time saving tips done by technicians all over the country. Another item most of the other advertisers here on Craigslist don't have.
Below is MY EVERYDAY, ALLDAY RATES. Parts not included. I can't price my services any lower because I have to include my cost of fuel, trips to the Auto Parts Stores and Machine Shops and my expenses also in my quotes.
MY SERVICES COME WITH A ONE YEAR WARRANTY ON ALL PARTS AND LABOR.
I DO NOT INSTALL used parts because used parts never last long especially if they are electrical related. The cost for new parts are worthy of purchasing compared to the shops or used parts yards. I DO NOT MARK UP PARTS AS HIGH AS THE SHOPS DO. Please allow me to explain that too run a mobile business, I need to make a small part profit to keep this business going.....you have no idea how much tools cost to buy every year and I need to keep buying them to keep you as a customer. I CAN'T BUY MY TOOLS FROM SEARS, I BUY TOP RATED SNAP ON TOOLS LIKE THE PROS IN THE SHOPS USE. SO DON'T HAVE THIS PRECONCEIVED NOTION THAT ITS A RIPOFF BECAUSE A SHOP CAN'T SURVIVE WITHOUT IT...YOU DON'T GO TO TARGET AND SAY IM NOT SHOPPING HERE BECAUSE YOU MARK UP PARTS. Every sales store in the world has a part markup. I just don't mark mine up over 25%.
I would suggest you hire me to inspect your vehicle because many of these shops are wrong or they missed something when they told you the problem with your vehicle. A second opinion is always a good idea IN THIS AREA BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF FLY BY NIGHT SHOPS HERE.
.

At the price I am charging for my rate, you won't find many guys doing the quality of repairs I do for this price here in Arizona/Minnesota.
Maybe you know some poor family woman who can't afford to fix her car at a local shop? Now she can, just send me her name, number and info about her car and I will call her.
Lastly, please be patient and give me time to reply. I post one ad a day in three categories and I get alot of emails BECAUSE I AM THE MOST HONEST AND LOWEST PRICED PROFESSIONALLY LICENSED TECHNICIAN with over 30 years experience on CRAIGSLIST. The quality of my services earns me customers, so I am not sitting at the computer all day LIKE THEY ARE POSTING ADS ALL DAY!! It is tough to find an honest technician like me and that keeps me busy. I AM WILLING TO NEGOTIATE FOR OTHER SERVICES AS WELL AS WELL AS TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT.
IF YOU HIRE A NON-LICENSED MECHANIC OFF CRAIGSLIST TO FIX YOUR VEHICLE AND THEY MAKE A MISTAKE AND RUIN YOUR MOTOR OR TRANSMISSION-YOU HAVE NO RECOURSE IN A COURT OF LAW BECAUSE THE JUDGE WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU TOOK A CHANCE ON HAVING A STRANGER FIX YOUR VEHICLE THAT DID NOT HAVE A LICENSE OR TRAINING, SO THEREFOR YOU'RE NOT PROTECTED UNDER THE LAW. PICK YOUR BATTLES CAREFULLY AND HIRE A LICENSED SERVICE. I MOST CERTAINLY MUST STATE-STAY AWAY FROM UNTRAINED SERVICES!!MY SUGGESTION TO THE UNTRAINED MECHANICS WHO READ THIS, GO BACK TO SCHOOL IF YOU WANT TO DO THIS. GRANTS ARE AVAILABLE AND THAN YOU CAN STOP TAKING WORK FROM THE SHOPS WHO DESERVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE THESE CUSTOMERS. OR GO APPLY FOR A LICENSE IF YOU THINK YOUR THAT GOOD AT REPAIRING CARS. TIME HAS COME TO PAY YOUR TAXES LIKE WE DO.
Please reply with the Year, Make, Model, Body Style and Engine size and trim package of your vehicle. Your name and area you live in and phone number will help too.
Also, I am on the road for the better part of the day and stop at open wifi facilities to check emails, so if you are in need of emergency services I most likely can't be the honest technician coming to your rescue because many have found my ad and send me emails about their vehicles. I get over 10 emails a day from here so be patient and lets fix your vehicle right the first time.
Thank You for stopping in and reading this long list of information, lets do business soon.
