Meet the person behind the wrench - my story, my passion, and my commitment to providing honest, reliable auto repair service.

Tico's Auto Repair

Your Local Mobile Mechanic

Hey there! I'm Jose Rivero, a passionate 29-year-old mechanic who's turned my love for cars into a business I can be proud of. After years of working in shops, I decided to go out on my own to provide the kind of personal, reliable service that busy people actually want.

I know life gets busy - that's why I bring the shop to you. Whether it's an emergency fix or routine maintenance, I show up on time, explain everything clearly, and only charge for the work you actually need. Your trust means everything to me, and I'm here to build lasting relationships with my customers.

My Story

Started Young

Been fascinated with cars since I was a kid. Started learning from my dad in his garage when I was 12, and knew this was my calling.

Shop Experience

Worked at several local shops for 8+ years, learning everything from basic maintenance to complex engine rebuilds. Gained invaluable experience and certifications.

Going Independent

Decided to start my own business to provide more personal service and flexible options. Mobile service was a natural fit for today's busy lifestyle.

What I Stand For

Honesty First

I'll never sell you something you don't need. If I can't fix it or it's not worth fixing, I'll tell you straight up. No games, no pressure - just honest advice.

I show you what's wrong, explain your options, and let you make the decision. Photos, explanations, and transparent pricing every time.

Respect Your Time

Your time is valuable. I show up when I say I will, work efficiently, and keep you updated throughout the process. No waiting around wondering what's happening.

Mobile service means you can go about your day while I work on your car. At home, at work, wherever it's convenient for you.

Quality Work

I take pride in my work and stand behind every job. Quality parts, proper procedures, and attention to detail - because your safety depends on it.

Every repair comes with my personal guarantee. If something isn't right, I'll make it right - no questions asked.

Building Relationships

I'm not just looking for one-time jobs - I want to be your go-to mechanic for years to come. That means earning your trust through consistent, reliable service.

I get to know my customers and their cars. I remember what we've worked on and what to watch for next time. Personal service in an impersonal world.
