One of the best experiences I have ever encountered with a diesel repair shop. Bubba and his crew are top notch people. Knowing i was an out-of-state visitor and needed repairs quickly, they went above and beyond to schedule my truck in as early as possible to diagnose my problem. They only had possession of my truck for about 4 hours and I was back on the road. I highly recommend that anyone in the Panama City area that needs diesel repair contact A&D diesel. Their prices are reasonable and their service was outstanding. Thanks again, Bubba and your shop crew, for getting us back on the road. Good Luck Bubba on your upcoming race on Feb. 19.

The absolute WORST service I’ve ever had in my life. I had a slow coolant leak over the past 6 months so took it into Bubba to have a look. I paid to overnight a radiator and he said it would be ready the following day. The next day he hadn’t even checked if the part was in by 5pm putting me back another day. He called saying it was ready yet the fluid light was on when I left. This is after he attempted to charge me over $300 what we had discussed. He charged me $90 for one wiper blade when I only asked him to replace the wiper bar (I had the blade in the van). He blamed the radiator on being defective and said he couldn’t get a new one until Monday. It was Thursday afternoon. When I picked it up assuming it was good to go, I drove 9 hours, went into the store and then found a puddle of coolant under the radiator. I also asked him to replace my door handle (I had the part) which he did but it caused my door to no longer be able to lock from the inside and the handle broke off after 2 days so it put me in a worse situation than when I brought it in. I tried reaching out thinking he would attempt to make it right but heard no response. By going to A & D I might as well have put $1600 on fire. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!!

They "repaired" the exhaust on my 2016 Ram 2500 after waiting weeks because they said my exhaust was on national back order. My truck has been deleted so it does have an after market exhaust. But instead of saying they couldn't repair back to what was on it prior to the accident they ordered something else, installed it and called it done. They did not fix the front part of the exhaust where it had been shoved up into the bottom side of the truck bed. Then they beat the new pipe to make it fit and welded it to make it work. The truck now sounds like it's struggling to push air due to the small pipe they installed. I am a woman and I will admit I am not mechanically inclined, so had my husband not been around to double check this work I might be looking at covering additional repairs out of pocket later on. We now have to find another exhaust shop that will repair it back to what it's supposed to be and continue the insurance claim. I will not be taking anything to this shop in the future. lesson learned.

My 2015 F250 threw a “limp mode”code the day before I was to leave to get back home for Christmas which was a 1000 mile journey. Scott, Bubba and their amazing team worked late in the evening trying to diagnose a fairly complex issue. The next morning the the parts arrived and the repair was finished by noon. I’m writing this after putting about 4000 miles on the truck and it performs as good if not better than when it was new. This is a shout out to a great team of very knowledgeable mechanics! How do I know they’re great mechanics? I been involved in high performance motor racing for over 45 years and have been around some of the best mechanics nationwide. I’ll put this team up with some of the best I know. Thanks Guys!!!

I CANNOT say enough good things about this place! We were supposed to leave Panama City and head home north (1400 miles) when we realized our back brakes weren't working. We called them Monday morning, explained what was going on and they told us to come in as soon as we could. We got there, they diagnosed the issue and got it fixed all within a couple hours! We were on the road headed north that afternoon! We will definitely use them again when we are in town. We can't thank them enough for their work! Hands down, great team!

I was on vacation and my truck had a water in fuel light come on and also some knocking noises in the engine paired with white smoke. I immediately started searching for diesel mechanics and found A&D. I had my truck towed to them after hours on a Thursday. Friday morning when I called they were very honest upfront about being short staffed and would let me know when their troubleshooting was done. Also they informed me that I did not need to come up there at that time which was helpful because I had my children with me and it would’ve been very difficult to get to their shop for me anyways. Late Friday afternoon they called back to let me know that they had done their troubleshooting and discovered there was actually no water in my fuel but I had a faulty water sensor, a bad fuel filter housing and also that I needed 3 new injectors. I told them to proceed with the repair. They were upfront about the costs and gave me a rough estimate. I was leaving town on Monday and they said that they would work on it as quickly as possible but I had family bring me a vehicle to drive so I told them I wasn’t gonna rush them that I was fine until the following weekend was out. They got it repaired in just a few days and I sent my parents to pick it up that weekend since I was out of town. The truck ended up misfiring again so it had to stay even longer. That Monday I came back in town and met with them and they informed me the troubleshooting showed I was going to need to replace the remaining injectors in my truck. So They showed me the test results from their troubleshooting and was very upfront again about the costs and repair time. Again I told them no rush just please get it fixed. They had it done in just a couple days but we discussed keeping it a couple more days to ensure everything was sound and no more issues. I picked it up at the end of that week and am pleased with their services. My truck no longer has the issues I brought it in with and yes it may have been at their shop two full weeks but I find that absolutely acceptable in my book considering what the job was and they performed it quickly and the extra days were used for extra test drives to ensure that my truck had no further issues. A&D repairs is an incredibly professional and courteous business. Every single time I was spoken to was with respect and I appreciate that. Their communication is great during business hours and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone with a diesel and I would even bring my truck back in the future if I had any issues. 10/10! Thank you Scott and Bubba for all your hard work.

I brought my diesel truck in originally because it was running rough. Within a week they had new injectors put in and re welded the charge pipe and made a few other repairs. Shortly after getting this fixed, my truck started dropping fuel pressure. After the truck being in the shop for at least a month, they finally figured the issue out. They never gave up on my truck despite it being a pain in the butt issue, and I’m super grateful for that. I will definitely recommend them to everyone I know. Family owned, kind people. I will bring them all of my vehicles in the future.

The front office was welcoming and efficient. The shop owner was consulted about a potential schedule and I was ready for the oil change and normal service and that went off without a hitch. Then while putting the oil pump back on it wouldn’t pump more than 15psi. Supposed to be 70psi. Then replaced it with a new one and lo and behold my truck has the same get up and go it used to have. I have been experiencing faltering from the light and not as much power as before. Now it all better. They are my go to team!

Well it wont let me leave 0 stars so here is my 1 star review. I was in town visiting my family and wanted to have some work done to my 2014 Ram 3500. Full delete, new exhaust, cold air intake, and programmer. Here I am 2 months later and I am having to replace my turbo. Whoever at this shop did my work did not tighten the clamp on the intake to the turbo. I take it in to the shop to be looked at and find out the my truck has been sucking in water and whatever else happened to be pulled into the turbo. That is the worst of it, but even the $1000 programmer that I was sold was not installed correctly. My truck was hard tuned and the 5 position switch had 0 function to it whatsoever. I paid $3000 for all of this work to be done to now have to spend another $6000 fixing everything that was screwed up. Dont bother calling to see if they will fix their mistakes, they wont take blame for anything.

I was traveling from Michigan to St. George island when an emission warning came on. After checking around in east point I found that there was no place in town that did this work on a diesel truck. A gentleman named Tyler referred me to bubba at a and d. He took great care of me. I dropped my truck off and they took me to the a dealership to get a rental car. It turned out to be a big job but they got right on it and had me on the road in 3 business days. I made it back to Michigan and everything is good. I’d like to thank bubba and his staff for taking care of us!

Great place. This place services all of my companies work trucks. Great mechanics. Will even come out to you if you break down or have an emergency with something that needs fixed. Secretaries are amazing and very friendly. They even sell some of the best tasting honey that I have ever had! From their own bees.

I really truly have zero complaints. Only admiration, respect, and a newfound loyalty to these people. Thank you Bubba and the rest of your crew (Pete) for doing what you do! You gotta have patience , When you obtain that , you achieve perfection! And thank you for the honey that literally sweetened the pot. I’m all smiles and honestly feel like I was treated correctly And The price was fair! In life, you can’t make everyone happy , but they sure made me happy! And for that, I thank you!

We experience the unexpected while visiting PCB and had a bad radiator. Was directed to the shop from another just up the road from them. They single handed saved my trip by fixing the truck in a timely manner. People in the front office were friendly helpful and all around seemed like good people. 10/10 Would recommend to anyone in the area.

My 3500 Duramax ate it's CP 4 pump. A and D patiently worked with me and my extended warranty company to get me back on the road. I rely on my truck for my charter business and they understand. They are a no excuses company. There is a reason all of the professional diesel people reccommend A and D for major repair. They are capable of any repair. Even those that require complete rework. 5 stars.

I was going for a good decent mechanic to fix a 2001 Dodge Ram Dually and was recommended by a few people absolute Top Notch service first off I didn't know what the problem was so there was diagnosing to be done which they got done fairly quickly and offered me a couple of options to fix it from standard to an upgrade I went with the upgrade because the truck is important to me and it has been running amazingly ever since installing a new fuel system even before when it was running I thought well it would have starting issues or just be sluggish with the new fuel system installed it's always started up instantly I never have a doubt about it and the people working there were very nice they were super busy and I probably annoyed them more than five times lol but they were always very respectful and got the job done also gave me a military discount which was a very nice thing to do and massively appreciated the only people I trust with my truck and I will be back for sure

Absolutely terrible. I had a very disappointing experience with this diesel repair shop. We paid over $4,000 for repairs and were assured the work was completed properly. Unfortunately, we didn’t even make it 1/8 of a mile down the road before a hose burst. We immediately turned around and brought the truck right back. Instead of taking responsibility for the issue, the staff acted completely surprised and then charged us an additional $200 to replace the hose. After leaving the shop again, within 30 minutes we started hearing a knocking noise coming from the engine. After spending thousands of dollars, the vehicle should have left the shop in reliable working condition, and that clearly was not the case. The experience felt overpriced, unprofessional, and extremely poor quality workmanship. Communication and timing was also misleading throughout the process leading to extensive rental costs. I would strongly caution others before trusting this shop with major diesel repairs. Also beware of their marketing scams- they will have likely “friends” come in behind any bad review and post 5 stars to cover up the terrible feedback from the public and paying customers.
