    Banks Monster Ram intake horn and grid heater delete installed.  Saved from grid heater bolt catastrophe on my 2019 RAM 2500 Cummins diesel.
    Joey L.

    I really appreciate great mechanics and knowledgeable service. I also appreciate having someone that can break the work down into simpler terms. While I know my way around a vehicle, I just can't perform the service anymore, so was looking for a reputable diesel shop to install my Banks Monster Ram intake horn. They got referred from another shop that wouldn't do that particular job, which told me something positive when another shop can refer to another. Got the quote, had a pleasant conversation with Ciera and agreed to terms. Expressed as being the daily driver, Ciera was quick to arrange a next day turn around, drop off Friday afternoon, pick up Saturday evening. I had asked about a time and was told should be late afternoon, nothing extreme and will advise if delayed. Called around 12:30 to ask about progress and if any estimate on when to come by. Left message as no one answered, followed by a text to same number and again, no reply. Did the same at 2:30 and 3:30 with same result. At I4:05 was contacted, apologies for not getting back, should be done by 5:30-6:00. Also explained the delay, but should be good to go. So I got my ride and dropped off at 5:30. Great mechanic and very knowledgeable about my truck and got reasonable "next service" things to address. I say that as I felt confident in what was told and also put to rest on what's real and what's paranoia. The service was performed as requested, inhaled the Banks piece, oil change, drive line inspection, fixed any error codes, test drove and was on my way. About only complaints I have is the delay in communication to be able to plan transport. I had even thrown it out there that I could pick up on Sunday if that was better as I didn't want him rushing the job or miss something critical, to which she assured me it would be fine and not necessary. I got n out of that shop by 11:00 pm. Could give more detail, but I know they're short staffed administratively and once addressed, it will be a top notch establishment. Of the two mechanics, I was impressed with their knowledge and work ethic, The history of the shop and owner was also great information shared. Ciera is very pleasant to talk to and accommodating on the phone. I like what was done, could use help in communication and delivery. I've been looking for that service home and would be comfortable using them, just a little hesitant if pressed for time or something critical.

    6.0 with a bunch of upgrades and bulletproofing.

    The crew at Black Widow Diesel are top notch!! I'm very happy with the service, communication and overall service I received. The knowledge of the staff and attention to detail is exceptional. I had them do the head swap on my 6.0, along with a bunch of other things... blue spring kit, Banks Intercooler, coolant filtration, etc.... It runs like a champ and I appreciate everything these guys did and all the suggestions and the pulling me back in, letting me know what not to do and spend money on.

    Dropped my 2019 3500 Ram off for routine service. The service staff communicated very well through the day to keep me updated on my vehicles progress. This truck is usually serviced by myself or the dealer. I never have time for my own cars and I don't feel I can trust the dealership at this point after having such bad luck there. Thank you Black Widow Diesel for taking care of this for me so I didn't have to. Oh ya I supplied a part for them and they called promptly to let me know I ordered the wrong one and that they sourced and ordered the correct part for me while it was there. They met all of the completion times as promised as well.

WOW was clear up front on the cost and kept great communication throughout the work. They inspected the brakes and told me they were good to go. They didn't try to upsell me new brakes that I didn't actually need. I highly recommend them, especially for those in Ramona. Let's keep our business local as much as we can! Now it's camping time!

It went to WOW Automotive 2560 Main St, Ramona, CA 92065 The car needed to be looked over as it had been sitting for over a year. When I arrived from Northern CA my brother showed me the list and inspection report including a smog. It was very detailed including new tires, oil, sensor, battery, full inspection, and other items. I looked over everything they did on the car and it had been done! I had one minor issue so I stopped by the shop where I was greeted by 2 employees and the owner. The shop was very clean and laid out nicely. They obviously took great pride in this shop. They were very friendly and immediately took my car in and put it on the rack. The owner showed me my concern (was listed in the inspection) and I felt the interaction was very positive and nothing that needed to be addressed immediately. The car runs excellent and I felt that WOW is a very honest, trustworthy, and transparent shop. To find a shop like this is very hard, based on my past experiences with dealerships (I can tell you stories where I get charged $65 to replace a cabin filter-which was never done). The price that was paid for the services was reasonable and fair. I was very impressed with the owner and staff. I would not hesitate to HIGHLY RECOMMEND WOW!

I needed a rear main seal, and much more, along with a host of other issues. I finally brought it in, and they handled everything with incredible skill. Their mechanics are truly superior. While they might cost just a little more than some other shops, you absolutely get what you pay for here: peace of mind and quality work. The communication is great Loren called me almost every day to check in and give me status updates. She would walk me through other items that needed attention and provide a quote immediately, leaving the choice entirely up to me with zero pressure. My Tahoe came back to me absolutely perfect--everything fixed, including the minor issues I hadn't even listed. On top of that, they just finished work on my 2003 Camaro. They cleared the check engine light and finally fixed a complex front-end steering issue caused by a previous accident that other shops couldn't resolve. RAE Automotive are professionals who are polite and clearly know what they are doing. I have both my cars back, and they are both running perfectly. They are my mechanics for life and I will never switch!

I was in Julian for my best friend's wedding. I was the maid of honor, totally stressed, and had my reactive dog with me, staying at a nearby pet-friendly hotel. My Jeep broke down about 10 minutes outside of town. Turns out the water pump basically exploded (don't quote me on the mechanics, I just know it was bad and my car was overheating). We let it cool, filled it with water, and somehow coasted it into Ramona. The first shop we stopped at was lovely, just slammed with cars. They kindly referred us to Thoroughbred Motors, hoping they might have space. This was busy season, and I've worked at several Harley dealerships as the Customer Experience Manager for many years, so I understand how hectic it can get--especially when someone needs something done fast or is in a stressful situation. Getting parts can be a nightmare, and turnaround times aren't always in anyone's control. I was basically falling apart. I was panicked, my dog was overheating, everything was going wrong. Then we got to Thoroughbred. And from the moment we arrived, they were kind, calming, and genuinely helpful. I had to head back to Southern California with my family, but my fiancé stayed behind with our dog. Leaving her was hard for me. She's a rescue who isn't always comfortable in new environments. (And I know it's cliche, but she's my baby). Not only did they diagnose the issue that same day, they ordered the part and had it delivered by the next morning. They even picked up my fiancé and our reactive dog from the hotel early so he wouldn't have to pay an extra fee. Before they did, they moved their own office dogs into the break room to make sure our girl wouldn't get triggered. When they got there, they had a bowl of water ready for her, a toy, treats, poop bags, and a little gift bag. The ladies in the office even played with her. My fiancé sent me photos and I cried from relief. They also gave my nieces toys and let them use the restroom while we were figuring everything out. Every single person at this place was kind, generous, and thoughtful in a way I will never forget. If you take anything away from this review, let it be this: trust. The resounding feeling I had with this shop was complete trust and genuine care. In a moment when I felt helpless, they made us feel safe. That kind of integrity is rare. The work on the car was excellent. The way they treated us felt like family. They turned what could have been one of the worst days into one of the best experiences I've ever had with any business. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Love, Jamie, JB, and Clover
