If you have a choice between using Aardvark Mobile Mechanics and taking a rectal thermometer that's made from a sea urchin and dipped in tabasco, look into that second less painful experience. Here's my tale of woe. Thursday night I jump into my car, turn the key and - er-er-er-er-er-er-er-er-er is all I get. Friday morning I figure I'll save some money on towing and call a mobile mechanic. The mechanic came out, wearing his wife-beaters, and diddled with the car for two hours and announced what was wrong. A small electrical part that wasn't allowing gas to get to the engine. He took the part and headed out to Toyota to get it. I didn't see him the rest of the day. Saturday, he never called, he never showed up. I called his boss three times to find out what was going on and was told the last time time that the mechanic was having car problems of his own. Physician, heal thyself. Sunday, well that was a given that he wouldn't show up even though I was told this mechanic worked on Sundays, but Toyota was obviously closed. Monday, I got a call from the mechanic! Heart be still. He would be here today, but I was second on his ""to do list,"" his first being in Boulder City. I'm a patient man, but these guys are really pushing it. The savings in gas aren't anywhere near to making up for lost time. I decided to give them one more chance on day five. I called the mechanic this morning - and I couldn't get through. I called his boss this morning - and I couldn't get through. I called a different mechanic - I got through. I'm sure there are reputable mobile mechanics somewhere in Vegas, but it isn't Aardvark.
Cons: In five days they didn't fix my car! Con enough?
