Friendly good service. Best diesel shop in the Nor Cal area. Can do it all. Maintain or replace. Repair and diagnose. Been going there since they were WinSpeed many many years ago.

We have been to 2 different Ford dealers as well as 2 independent shops to inquire about a loud hissing noise during acceleration or strain on the turbo / motor. Each told us the upgraded turbo is just loud, and not to worry about it. Left Coast Diesel, had our rig for less than 4 hours and was able to ascertain our the current intercooler had a crack in it. New improved aluminium intercooler installed, hissing noise gone! We could not be happier, thank you WCD!

My 2009 GMC Sierra 2500 with 363k miles had an odd high pitch sound when accelerating. I was conerned it could be transmission related $$$$. After seeking out advise from Preformance Auto where I take my gas vehicles, my tech recommend Left Coast Diesel. Fearful it was going to be an expensive fix I took it over there and met Robert. This guy was awesome he listened my concerns we took the truck for a test drive. He immediately thought it was exhaust related, after retuning back the shop one of us guys check under and sure enough it was an exhaust gasket, a $247 repair. Schedule an appointment for repairs and was fixed quickly, they even checked out all the hangers an repaired these too. Glad I have a trustworthy diesel mechanic! D Gardner, Martinez

New diesel owner with lots of questions. LCD is super helpful, took care of what needed immediate attention and didn’t try to oversell aftermarket upgrades. Truck has been amazing post visit on a 3k mike road trip pulling a camper. Very happy with the work and service.

Left Coast Diesel staff and knowledge are top notch. They were very friendly and on time with what they said needed to be done and completed the job when they said they would. Always keeping me informed of what was going on with my truck. I would recommend Left Coast Diesel to anyone I com in contact with and needs repairs.

What a let down! They came highly recommended and I had heard nothing but good things. I chose them over a shop that has done great work for me that is located in Martinez. The turbo on my truck went out and it has been twelve days. They have had the turbo in hand for six days. I have been told that the truck would be ready three times and they have yet to deliver it. I have not received a single phone call from them. I have called them every time. I am writing this review while I wait for Left Coast Diesel to call me. I have a feeling it's not gonna happen today... AGAIN!!! Take your truck here if you want to be put off, lied to and you can wait a month for a ten hour fix.

These guys are great! They did a transmission service on my transmission that has 333,000 miles on it and it shifts smoother than it did new 11 years ago. I take my truck there because they use quality parts for oil changes to anything else you need done!!! Great team!!!

Glad I took my truck somewhere else after looking at their estimate. They told me it would be between 4000 and 6000 to fix a sound coming from the front end of my truck. The price for the parts they quoted were at least double the cost of what I could find online for the exact same part. To make things much worse, their estimate included new front axle u joints, which after pulling apart and inspecting elsewhere, turned out to be just fine! The problem was actually just a bad wheel bearing, WHICH THEY DIDNT EVEN INCLUDE ON THE ESTIMATE! I will avoid this place at all costs and you might want to consider the same.

Awesome repair shop. Robert is fair with pricing and all techs are very knowledgeable. Only place to take my diesel as far as I'm concerned. Top notch business. Update, Ross is running the show now. He has a to notch crew working for him. High quality repairs and very knowledgeable. I'm a permanent customer.

Honest service. They came recommended from my local repair shop.Ross and Dale both explained what the problem was with the vehicle. Helpful and responsive to questions I had. I got my truck back the next day. Clean shop and friendly staff. Will be using them for any future repairs needed on my 2017 Ram 2500 diesel.

Ross and the crew at Left Coast Diesel have been taking care of my 1999 F250 for the past 5 years now. I wouldn’t take my 7.3 to any other shop around. The communication has always been great, and honest, fair work.

Very honest shop. The engine light turned on and engine ran poorly. Next day, engine seemed to resolve itself. I took my Excursion there. They tested my injectors, FICM and connections and all passed. They didn’t try to sell me anything regarding the engine. They did show me my front suspension that needed replacement. They changed my fuel filters too. I highly recommend this shop.

Dishonest and Deceptive – Stay Away! This mechanic shop outright lied about their quote. They gave me one price at the beginning, and by the time the work was done, it was way higher. They didn’t bother to explain or get my approval before inflating the cost. This kind of shady business practice is unacceptable. If you value honesty and transparency, take your car somewhere else. They clearly can’t be trusted.

Always great service. Been coming here for years and trust them to keep my 2006 truck on the road and running smooth. Today has really quick service, did my oil change and inspection while I waited. This was very helpful.

I used this shop about a month and a half ago to replace my exhaust manifold. They were priced fair, did an amazing job, and got me in an out very quickly. I highly recommend them.

I recently bought a 2001 ram 2500 4x4 that needed a bunch of things sorted out to get it running correctly. I did some research and spoke with friends and all roads pointed to LCD as the place that knows these trucks best. First order of business was having them install a FASS lift pump, which they did a really good job on. They mounted it well above the bottom of the frame rail so it will be protected in-off road situations. They also managed to source a really nice Fleece sending unit to work with the FASS, and at a great price. Next, the steering was extremely sloppy and they recommended we replace the track bar and several other connections in the steering linkage with Moog components, since they have a lifetime warranty and are greasable. I really like that they didn’t try to upsell me on some of the fancier front end components available for these 2nd gens - you can go overboard pretty quickly and the overbuilt parts can put too much stress on the surrounding parts and things will break. The truck has very little play now and I couldn’t be happier with how it steers and handles. After that they tackled a gear-hunting issue I was seeing from 3rd / 4th on the auto transmission. They found oil-saturated electrical components on the transmission during the service and were 100% confident it was causing the issue. Sure enough, after replacing those parts the shifting issue is completely resolved. After that, they fixed a small diesel leak near the injection pump and changed fluids in the diffs and transfer case. Now the truck runs like new and is ready for anything. Even though LCD is nowhere near where I live, I will not hesitate to take my truck back there for whatever it needs in the future. Many shops in the Bay Area claim they know how to service a cummins (or any other diesel), but after making several calls and speaking with many mechanics, I didn’t get the feeling that everyone is as familiar with these trucks as they claim to be. But after 1 minute on the phone with Ross at I knew it was the right place. Thanks guys!
