I should have read the other reviews on this guy before I hired him. I actually had a really bad feeling the very moment I talked to him on the phone but I didn't listen to my better judgment. Once I met the guy he certainly seemed nice and very trustworthy. In fact, the first time he worked on my motorhome it went perfectly fine and there were no complaints.
The second time is when things fell apart. We met and he began working on my RV. Even though I told him up-front what needed to be done, he still said he needed to make a trip to get some parts - it took him 1.5 hours to drive and pick up the parts. He billed me for this entire time.
He dishonestly marked up the parts and did not give me a receipt and lied about what happened.
We also had scheduled a time to meet several days before at 6pm. I called the day of the appointment to confirm about 5 hours before our scheduled appointment and he said he would be there in about 30 minutes. I then rushed to get there and was there within one hour. He charged me for the 30 minutes he waited even though I never confirmed I could make it in time and even though we had a later appointment.
I called him the next day to discuss the bill and he dodged my calls. Just like another reviewer mentioned he blamed it on phone problems. Who has phone problems these days??? That was a valid excuse 15 years ago but not now. Anyways, excuse after excuse and calls going straight to voicemail and I eventually gave up on this guy.
I would definitely not recommend using Mike from Cowboy Mechanics in San Diego. If you do, be very careful and watch your back. If you turn your back for a minute you will get stabbed (figuratively speaking of course).
