Ok. Honest opinion. Will never use this mechanic again. Here's my why. I appreciate honesty on all levels. Specially your word. They told me 5 different times that they would call me. At a specific time and before any repairs were done. Sounds like what a mechanic should do. Yet. They never did. Ever time I waited till said time they would call. They never did. So I had called them. All 5 times. Also, they did two repairs without contacting me first. As they said they would. Plus charging me for said uncommunicated repairs. So... Even though they did complete what I needed. Unless you have deep pockets and endless patience. I can not and do not recommend this business.

American diesel provided my dad with professional, quality service. Even when things didn’t go as planned, to no fault of their own, American diesel was able to swoop in and keep working until it was right again. My dad would recommend them to any one of my close friends and family because that’s how he was treated there.

Took my 2003 Chevy in for a oil leak that seemed pretty bad. It was Blow By. Never words you wish to hear. Instead of trying to sell me on a new block or rebuild, they suggested a much faster and inexpensive repair. They did state it doesn’t always work but they felt it was worth a try. So I agreed on it. And bam. It worked very well. I don’t trust mechanics. I build rock crawlers and do all my own work. But I have never touched a Diesel engine before. So I took the recommendation of a friend and came here. They will be the only ones to EVER work on my diesel. They have earned my business for life.

My husband and I drove our GMC diesel pick up truck down from Montana and was experiencing some overheating issues. The guys from American Diesel got us in right away, fixed it the same day, and the price was extremely reasonable. They were professional and friendly and very knowledgeable. Thank you to the crew at American Diesel! We highly recommend you guys!

I have been taking my Ram here for awhile. Nick, Senior, and Junior are great people to work with. Very professional and always on time. I run a time sensitive business and my truck is the main part of my business. When I need to have it worked on Nick fits me in. Nick will explain in detail what the problem is and give me the solution. Outstanding place to bring your equipment for repair. If you have a problem American Diesel will fix the issue without a doubt. Great people...

I took my 45’ RV to American Diesel in Murrieta, CA to get the oil and filter changed on my Cummings diesel and my generator. They had a young technician do the work. The young kid, instead of just unscrewing the drain plug, went above the drain plug and broke off the connection to the engine. Somehow, it stayed until my next oil change when they told me that they would not change the oil because of the broken connection. It was close to a year later and I was told by a different repair service to take it to Colton Trucking in Colton, CA and they would repair it. Colton was able to put an extension on with epoxy, but service places still do not want to touch the drain plug as they are afraid that it will break off. Colton trucking charged me $750 to repair the plug. I could try getting my money back from American Diesel, but after all this time, they would say no. Just be aware that service people are often untrained in the basics. This was all very aggravating.

Took my truck in to have brake fluid and power steering fluid flushed, the quote seem reasonable. I think so far they are pretty good , the only thing negative I have to say is it was $100 more than it started out, however they did find a fuel leak and replaced some parts which I'm good with, I only wished they would have called me first. If I have anything else I will give them another shot at it. Nick seems to be a pretty good guy to deal with.

I like to wait a bit before I review a new shop, this way I get to see how the work they did turns out. American Diesel floored me. This coming from a person that has been in the auto/bus repair business for many years. Lets start with their customer service and office atmosphere. They allowed me to stay in their waiting room with my dog the whole day and made me completely comfortable doing so. All of their staff were very friendly and helpful, especially as I would occasionally ask questions throughout the day...as I waited patiently for them to complete the work. Their technician, I believe his name is Dave, was an incredibly talented diagnostician. He had a great grip on the workings of the vehicle, how to diagnose the issues and how to repair them. I could not have asked for a better master tech than that. In fact, I would have loved to have this guy work for me back in the day. These guys went above and beyond in handling my issues and if I am within hundreds miles of them, I will head to their shop again in a heartbeat! I cannot thank you all enough for doing a fantastic job and keeping my costs down. It was a great feeling to drive away from your shop with confidence. I applaud the integrity and skill by which this business operates and find them to be a very rare breed of excellence! Thank you again Marneen & Dash

Well I guess this teaches me to read and believe the reviews. Made an appointment three months in advance and showed up on time, 8:30am, for an oil change and possible air filter change on my 37 foot Cummins MH. I guess being in time is only important to me. Called them at 2pm for status and the rep said he would check and call me right back. No call, and called again at 4pm and they said he would check but I would likely have to leave it tell Monday. I asked why they didn’t call to tell me with no answer. Went and got it and cancelled service. Total waste of time and no concern for customers at all. Stay away if you want work actually done..

This will be a long one, so here's the TLDR up front: This is the single best and most honest Diesel shop I have been to with my Ford Transit 350 Diesel - and I've been to 8 in 4 different States. If you need a shop you can trust to get your vehicle working properly, take it here. The long story is that my wife and I bought our transit used, and it quickly had the engine light pop. We took her to 3 mechanics and 2 Dealerships in Michigan and Indiana, paid way too much money for repairs that didnt fix our problem. We traveled with it for a while because it didn't seem to impede operation and we were sick of getting taken for rides by people who didn't know how to fix it and didn't want to take the TIME to figure it out. We started working with American Diesel a few years after our purchase when we traveled to California and quickly appreciated their honesty and fair pricing with work. It was also immediately apparent that everyone there knows diesels better than anyone else we'd met. Eventually we bit the bullet again and asked them to work on perpetual engine light problem for us - half expecting that like everyone else they wouldn't be able to fix it. No. They worked on it, and worked in it. They didn't show us the door because it was complicated or time consuming. They didn't rake us over the coals when It came to pricing. They just took the time necessary and approached the problem like professionals with an eye for detail. My wife and I have been driving without issue for over 5000 miles and 5 months. It's been life changing for us to be able to travel without that constant amber glowing light. These guys are the absolute best and you cannot give your business to a better team.

Wonderful! Wonderful ! Wonderful. After Ford dealership wanted an arm and leg and possibly some organs. American Diesel fixed out truck in less than a week. Mind you Ford Temecula had out vehicle for over 3 weeks!! Definitely honest with us and fraction of the price ford was trying to get. Definitely recommend!

American Diesel has a superiority to all other repair facilities in Riverside county, office staffing is very positive and professional and knowledgeable in the Heavy duty verbage to communicate effectively with customers when they expeditiously compile service repair orders. Their Heavy duty technician complete repairs as outline on service repair orders well within time standards allowed. I have a 2006 F350 with the 6.0 power stroke which American Diesel has performed all preventative maintenance and Major/minor repairs needed for over a decade. When I drop off my truck I can rest assured it's in great hands. American Diesel is a repair facility that former / retired Heavy duty repair techs take there diesels vehicles to. My last service I actually waited for my truck and it was completely within the time quoted by staffing..

1st time there. Went in for a repair, they mistakenly repaired the wrong item based upon the touch of a keyboard selection. But repaired the correct item no questions asked and no additional funds out of pocket. The prices are cheaper than most places I shopped for the repair needed. The customer service is great and very knowledgeable in response to my questions on "The how to"s.". I will definitely continue bringing my Diesel truck there for service and repairs.

I brought my 07 3500 Cummins in to get it repaired they thought a oil flush on the transmission would do the job but I told them to get my truck running plus I asked them a few other repairs to do to my truck with no repairs will not be going back to there shop because of customer service and detail to work

I brought my 02 Chevy Silverado 2500HD with a Duramax LB7. I ask for the thermostats which there are (2) to be replace plus they changed for a engine air filter at $120 (4) screws 5-10 minutes. I also had a squealing sound and possible boost leak and only getting about 6 MPG not good. Also ask for a bumper to bumper check and get plug into a diagnostic test. After $1,100 dollars they couldn't find the squealing sound nor the boost leak. Plus I didn't get any information on the bumper to bumper check or anything on the diagnostic test results and didn't fix my MPG problem also had to torx down (2) bolts that were left untighten. If you get repair parts done you have to request your old parts back normally shops will do this and show you bad replacement parts.

They did a great job. I did a lot of price checking with other companies and they outpriced them all. I will be back if I need to be.

I was having a turbo actuator code failure. Normally, I would have dug into this myself, but time was an issue for me. They diagnosed and fixed my truck in 3.5 days. Communication and service were great. Had an Oil change while it was there, and the RAM is running great again! The pricing was as expected but fair.
