A car owner was quoted $1,400 by a dealership to repair a 2011 Nissan Sentra, but mobile mechanic Pop completed the job in under an hour—simply replacing a set of spark plugs and an ignition coil pack—at a fraction of the cost. He documented the entire process in a TikTok video, calling it “way too easy.” Pop serves Austin, Texas, and surrounding areas, emphasizing that he’s “honest, reliable, and affordable.” Data shows dealership repairs cost, on average, 34% more than independent shops, costing consumers an extra $11.7 billion annually. Viewers flooded the comments with reactions like, “$1,400? That’s outrageous!”
