I am not a representative for or affiliated with Neil Boone of Performance Mobile Mechanic LLC. I was a customer of his for a couple of years, and want to warn other people, so they do not end up spending lots of time and money like I have trying to correct the damages he caused to my vehicle. Our relationship ended when he broke a crankshaft bolt off in my block and tried to cover it up (with a wood screw 🙄). Recently, when replacing the water pump he also installed I realized he broke a waterpump bolt off and never told me about that, either. It was hidden by the pulley. He had put a big glob of grey RTV where he broke the bolt off in the block. You may very well think you had a good experience with him, but he is dishonest and instead of letting you know something went wrong he lies and covers it up. (I thought he only messed up on the timing chain replacement. Didnt realize he had also broken a water pump bolt off and put a glob of RTV there until the following year when it started to leak and I removed the pump he installed). Not an honest person, not a good mechanic. As I've said before, instead of standing behind his work, he hides behind it.
Anyhoo, in addition to having to pay someone to get the bolt he broke off in my crankshaft, I now have to pay someone to try and drill out the waterpump bolt he broke off in my engine. Since his two failed attempts at replacing my timing chain and breaking the waterpump bolt, my engine has leaked oil (timing cover gasket) and coolant (waterpump). The oil leak is getting worse and I know soon I'm looking at having that redone. No telling what we'll find but I'll be sure to post it here.
