I am updating my review from five stars to one star. I've had an ongoing issue where my truck was leaking, had to be primed, and was experiencing a long crank. I took it back to the shop multiple times and it's documented in receipts stating my concern was that there was a leak starting when I had to prime the engine. After about 3 weeks, they gave the truck back and said bring it back in about 100 miles. After I brought it back, it was decided that the head gasket was leaking. Not sure I agree with that as the truck continued the leak issue after I got it back. I took it back again and was told they were unable to replicate my concerns. I finally pulled out my wheel well cover and was able to find the water in fuel sensor leaking. After a $37 part replacement and about 30 minutes of my time, the leak is gone, there is no more long crank issue (which I was suggested to buy a $2300 fuel sender) and my truck is running great. I really don't feel like my concerns were properly addressed. And I feel like this was a big push for upselling. Disappointing. read more

Purchased my first truck couple months ago came here for service, had a great experience working with Josh, just called trying to come back for service for my surprise some dude Bud answer the phone the most rude person I have encountered here, unfortunately thanks to him they lost a good customer! Rude and unprofessional! read more

I've been going to Bud's Diesel for many years with my truck(s). They always did good work, but at a slightly higher tier of pricing, which I didn't mind since it was quality work. Long story short, my truck needed an oil change so I called them when to bring it in and they were wide open. Took the truck in at 10:00 next morning (which they said was good). When I dropped it off they asked if I wanted to wait, but there was another truck ahead of me and I had things to do so I told them I'll come back later when it's done to pick it up. Keeping the story short, they never called me when it was ready like they said they'd do so I called them. Then the tech got on the phone and started going down a mile long list of things wrong like leaks etc. I know it leaks a little ( just look where you park!). I could see where he was going - $$$$$$. So I told him I'll just stick with oil change for now, assuming they changed the oil since it's been in the shop all day. Well, they didn't change oil. When I called the next day to see when truck is done, they said they haven't done the oil change. (!!!???). This was at NOON NEXT DAY! So I told them forget oil change I'm coming to get my truck! Bottom line - my truck was in their shop for a simple oil change and after 2 DAYS!!! IT DIDN'T GET DONE!!! It's obvious they wanted to turn a bigger profit-oh, the things wrong they'll find!! The tech said they might have to tear the engine down depending on what they find!!. Anyway, I'M DONE WITH BUDS DIESEL!!!! Stay away if you aren't up to being oversold!!! BEWARE!!! read more

JT diagnosed the problem and a repair was scheduled right away. The repair was performed quickly and I was back on the road. Mark was Knowledgeable and very personable. I've been taking my diesel repairs to Buds for more than ten years and the whole crew there have been very positive and the service has been excellent. read more

Bud's Diesel Shop - Auto Repair Near Me - Midway City, California

We had been coming to Buds for about 10 years , spent thousands of dollars , Nick and Buds were the only place we trusted to work on our 2006 Chevy 2500 HD Duramax Longbed. That changed for the past year or so since Nick has been gone. Awhile back we took the truck in for servicing , the customer service we received was just "ok" something seemed off , kinda like you know you don't trust something but you don't know what it is. I shook it off thinking it was just me and maybe I was overreacting because Nick was gone. Fast forward to about a month ago. We took the truck in for the typical oil change, fuel filter , tire rotation ($500) plus asked them to check out why the truck is stalling when the fuel tank is half full or lower. They said it would take about a week to diagnose it as they were busy. Plus it would cost about $400 to diagnose. After asking about it then they said they would put 1/2 of the diagnosis toward the repair and wipe it if we spent more than $2500. * note - we called about a week before we brought it in and they told us to wait a week to bring it in so they can get to it. When we brought it in they said that it would take that long because we didn't have a reservation. Ugh! The car sat for a week and there wasn't a diagnosis yet. We had to pull the truck out because we needed transportation and needed it fixed. We had already spent $350 on a rental car for the week, plus Ubers for the couple of days before we rented the car. Plus spent another $200 to add rental days while we took the truck to another shop Bottom line, Buds just isn't the same and it's sad. They lost a loyal customer over customer service and communication. read more

BEWARE BEWARE!!! I brought my truck for a new Banks intake on a 2018 Ram. They didn't put the correct bolts in some spots so that the intake wasn't seated securely. I'm just not comfortable with a mechanic that can't install bolts correctly. I complained to them and basically Paul who identified himself as one of the managers but on the other posts I see that it says he's the owner explained to me that he had a new tech working on my truck that was supposed to be overseen by a senior tech, but they're shorthanded so that didn't happen. They did offer to fix it, but how can I expect them to fix something that they can't install properly. I requested a refund on the labor so I could take it somewhere that has the experience and the knowledge to install the intake correctly. Paul laughed at that idea. I guess because they already have my money. They did offer me a free oil change, but I don't even trust them to do that correctly. I'm not looking for anything for free. I just wanted the part installed correctly from an experienced technician which I paid for. read more

See all

No dealing with Mark Had my 06 F350 towed there with an impression they would help me out with my break down. Truck had work done there b4 and warranted for 12 months or 12000miles.. Instead I get a nasty call from Mark saying no warranty due to title transfer on truck. Even though paperwork or invoices do not state non transferable warranty. I had truck towed out that day. read more

I was referred to this shop by a reliable source however I called to get a quote (or at least an estimated starting cost) and make an appointment for a heater grid replacement....kit plus labor pretty straightforward. The service estimator was long winded and didn't fully understand the issue and request. I called 3 days in a row to follow up (speaking with the estimator each time) with no luck. It's been almost 2 weeks and still nothing. I finally had to move on and find a different shop. Wishing I had a better experience. This shop probably does good work but the service side needs some help...couldn't even get in the door to try them out. Still looking for a good diesel shop for my regular maintenance if anyone has any suggestions. read more

Updated review. There was a mix up in billing and management reached out to make things right. Highly recommend this shop for their work and professionalism. read more

Buds Diesel is awesome and honest! I had another shop tell me I needed to replace my turbo so I took it to Buds and they found a bad sensor, replaced it and updated the sensor in the truck system fixing the problem for a third of the cost of a new turbo. Bud's will be my shop for as long as I have my truck. read more

Tough to find good diesel mechanics, let alone professional and honest ones. Dropped a new Cummins in my truck. Bill came to the penny of the estimate they provided. I will not go anywhere else in the future. read more

I Had my EGR cooler replaced on my 17 ram 2500. Highly recommend this shop for any diesel related repairs. Their prices are extremely fair and they are transparent and communicate with you through out the whole process. read more

Absolutely the best place to have my diesel (2014 RAM 2500) serviced. Timely, patient, experienced... Nick will explain the process. I feel that he and everyone else on the staff have integrity. I have been taking my vehicle there for about three years. Highly recommended read more

A quality shop with integrity. Took my truck in to get quite a few things looked at. The services requested were provided very thoroughly and communication was excellent. The true value of this business is the quality of service, both customer and work done, as well as the "bang for your buck" I will be taking my vehicle here from now on, it's a no brainer. read more

I came to Bud's Diesel based on the number of stellar reviews, and this shop doesn't disappoint! I was quoted a repair at 2 other repair facilities, one a non specialist for diesel and the other the Ford Truck Service Center. Bud's knew the ins and outs of my 2006 SuperDuty 6.0 better than both, and did the repair for less than half. Same Ford parts and shop rate, just fewer hours. Huge savings. Being a first time customer they went through my truck and identified a few needed services and rated them in order of importance. Even pointing out 2 items I can easily address myself, which I am doing when the parts arrive. That reduced my 6 service items to 4, and saved me 3.5 shop hours. Do the math, it's a considerable savings. The service items recommended were items I fully expected given the mileage and lack of previous service. In other words, it wasn't BS up sale tactics that you often experience. When I picked up my truck it was nice not to see grease smudges everywhere, or dirty greasy foot prints inside! It was as clean as it was when I dropped it off. Bud's Diesel has definitely earned my business going forward, and I wish I had discovered them 258,000 miles ago. read more

Good times had by all, took my 04 excursion into buds because it was completely falling on its own face, they had me up & running in no time & I can say my truck has never felt better thanks to the crew at Buds read more

I can't think of a more reputable business, of any description, that I've had the privilege to support. They do what they say they're going to do. They do it well and they do it with great attitude. Thank you Nick...for everything. ***** read more

I wrote a one star review on 2/3/2025, since then the owner Paul reached out to me and made good on fixing my truck. He listened to the my whole story and why it took me a few months to get it back to them and it all made sense to him. This is what I consider good customer service and I will return in the future. Thank you Paul, I appreciate what you did. Tom. read more

My go to for my 06' Duramax. Had a bad glow plug. Replaced it and also added a lift pump that I've been wanting to add. Easy peazy. I've used them for a coolant leak in the past as well. Replaced the thermostats and a hose and have been good to go since. I'll be back when needed! read more

Bud's Diesel Shop - Ram2500 - Auto Repair Near Me - Midway City, California

Have taken my 1999 F250 there a couple of times. Great service and everything was fixed...along with other problems I didn't know I had. I would recommend them to anyone.

Had turbo replaced on 2014 RAM 2500. I had my truck towed here without ever having been here. They did great work and had my truck done in a reasonable amount of time. They also did a solid once over to let me know how my truck was running overall. Highly recommend and this is the only place I'll bring my truck. Thank you! read more

This shop is my go to for all the work needed on my Ford 6.0 powerstroke. Everyone is very helpful and willing to give tips and help to keep things running good. They also won't cheat you with things you don't need, and have been very honest in my dealings with them. They have been very knowledgeable on the little quirks and troubles of my engine and I'm glad to have them when I need help. read more

I have a F-250 that needed some larger work than my normal shop could do. I was referred to Bud's Diesel for this work. Nick was my rep and from the start was straight forward and honest. My Truck is the center of my construction company and I can not afford it to not be running. Nick got my truck in , looked at and the work was completed in a timely manor. I will go out of my way now to make sure Bud's Diesel dose all my service work. thank you to Nick and the guys. Todd Ziemer TZRemodeling read more

Nick always takes care of my 06 dodge 3500 mega cab. Good prices, great service, and reliable!! Thanks again Nick! read more

Awesome mechanics and most importantly....very honest. I would definitely recommend this shop.

They charge me a bunch of money and never fixed the problem . Said they were going to get the part, but never did. never followed through

The appointment was easy to make the service was completed on time and for a fair price

The guys at Bud's were great. The dealership said I needed a new turbo for $8,400 for my Dodge Ram 2500. Bud's checked it and said it was fine. It only cost us $175! I love the integrity of this shop! read more

Took my 2004 Super Duty 6.0 for a low boost code. They cleaned the turbo, install some nice heavy duty turbo/inter cooler boots and fix an exhaust manifold leak. So far have been very happy with the service, truck runs great. Nick also pointed out some maintenance issues that should be addressed. I declined those to be done by Bud's shop due to the fact that they are things I can manage myself and already had plans to do so. For the record, Bud is the only person that's worked on my truck other than myself and will continue to be so if something comes up I can't handle myself. read more

These guys are awesome! Staff is super knowledgeable, and work quick. They have never let me down and have been using them for 3-4 years

Nick and his staff always get my truck in & out quickly and they do a great job as well!

High quality shop, trusted them to take care of my van for anything it needed. They rebuilt my 6.0 and it's been solid ever since!

From a customer not knowing much about diesel repair, I felt like I could easily be taken advantage of. I found Bud's Diesel to be reliable, honest and they operate with integrity. Highly recommend to anyone looking for some great mechanics. read more

I have several diesel trucks and Buds is the go to place for all my diesel needs, and services. From routine service to power adders they do it all here. The staff is super friendly and very educated. I always appreciate the kind service. read more
