Outstanding service! Knowledgeable and professional staff. The mechanic was ASE certified. Will be back for sure
I went to ICF for help with installing a starter. The service provided had been stellar, the mechanic had been great as well. If I'm in need again, I'll be considering their service guaranteed.
The technician arrive and begun the work. He knew what had to be done and did it. He was very knowledge of the work. I would have no problem hiring the company and him again. Keep up the good work.
I’m extremely satisfied with the service. The mechanic arrived on time. The whole process was smooth and the repair was completed quicker than I expected. Instant Car Fix definitely earned my trust. The work performed was replacing the HVAC blower motor on my 2008 Lexus RX 400h. Pictures show the broken strut that was replaced,
I had my doubts about this service, however I was very pleasantly surprised with how simple and easy it was to setup an appointment. Also the representatives are very communicative with you. They will update you regularly and keep you informed of any delays. Very very good and helpful service. The mechanic I had was very informative and transparent about the fix details, he arrived early and finished the job quickly. I would highly recommend this service to anyone. They are cheaper than your average shop and have flexible payment options. Fantastic service.
Got my van fixed and I can get around again so that’s all that matters. Had a good knowledge mechanic named Greg and he was very helpful and actually got the total job done in good time. Not sure about the price but you have to pay an arm and leg sometimes to get the job done, I’m driving again and that’s all that matters
I was alittle skeptical at first because I've never used a service like this before. After speaking with a very nice, respectful, and truly professional, I was so relieved!!! Kivan, you are an amazing young man and I hope the company recognizes that. A huge Thank you for your kindness, helpful tactics, and going the extra mile to help me. May God Bless you with greatness. 😊 Update 7/27: I had the best experience of my life. Jim G. is such an amazing mechanic and did a great job on my vehicle. He was very professional, he also explained things I needed to know about my vehicle. Great mechanic that I highly recommend. Thank you.
My experience was great. Other than a slight delay due to the weather the service was great. My Mechanic Edi got right to it. Fixed my ball joint and got me back on the road. Thanks Edi and Instant Car Fix.
The mechanic showed up on time. Removing my O2 sensor was a tough task. He did not give up! I would recommend this service if you do not want to leave the comfort of your home.
