My husband dropped his truck off on November 1st, they said the truck would be done in 2-3 weeks. 3 weeks roll by, guy from a shop tells my husband that he can pick it up the Friday before thanksgiving. We go to the shop and they told us that they haven't even touched the truck. They told my husband another week. Keep in mind, this shop has not once called him to keep him updated on his truck. It has always been my husband calling to check for an update. Sometimes they won't answer or they'll say that they will call him back and never do. Poor communication for a shop that's charges so much for labor. read more

The professionals at Desert Diesel Repair Surprise have helped me in many ways. As a Veteran I am always looking for Veteran friendly companies. Daniel at Desert Diesel showed appreciation for me as a Veteran making the repair cost for my F350 affordable. As I was struggling to make sure I had the ability to pay, Daniel asked me about my Veteran status and then gave me a blessing. I will continue to recommend this organization for the quality of the work. I will always give Desert Diesel the opportunity to fix my vehicle. Thank you, guys, again! read more

Went in for some warranty work and I ended up adding some other services to my truck. I left my truck over the weekend because I wasn't in a rush, but Danny made sure to keep me informed on the progress and gave me an accurate time of completion. A few days after getting the truck back received a call from Danny where he was just making sure the truck was running great and if I had any concerns. A good performance shop that communicates, provides quality parts, clean work, and verifies that your ride is 100% read more

I wouldn't recommend Desert Diesel for over heating issue or if you need the head of your diesel engine worked on. They said they fixed our over heating issue and had the head plained. After having to take it to other shop to have the work completed we found out desert diesel never plained the head like they said and charged us for, plus, they never fixed the overheating issue. Yet they charged us thousands of dollars and wouldn't refund the money after we received information that they never did the work they said they did. I will never use this shop again and I will not refer anyone either. Shady business. read more

I came in due to my 21' GMC Sierra Duramax leaking from the cam shaft. This was a major repair and an expensive one. Instead of Danny taking the job and charging me, he advised me that the truck had a powertrain warranty and to take it to GMC. Come to find out, he was right and my truck is at GMC getting repaired right now at no cost. If you don't consider this being an honest man, then I don't know what is. This guy won my trust and I'll definitely be back for future maintenance and repairs. Thank you Danny for being a honest and caring businessman owner. read more

I had a part on backorder come in and the team did a great job and had it ready the next day. Thanks for the excellent service.

Truck had a "miss" at idle causing a little concern Took to Desert Diesel and there fix was $3000.00 Took the truck across the street. They found a bad sensor-cost to repair 400.00. Trucks running great! Beware read more

I was recommended by a friend who had two trucks serviced before. I dropped my truck off and the next day Danny called and said it was done and good to go. I can not be more pleased by the work and straightforward business they run. I read some reviews about cost. I did not have any issues with quotes or with high prices. I would rather pay for honest work and help a small business than pay the same at the dealership to get mediocre service. Again. Could not be happier. read more

I was able to get in very quickly, and the technician was willing to speak with my son, who is my regular mechanic. This will be a shop I will look up when I can't get back to my sons shop. I do have a lot of caution when anyone strange goes under my hood read more

These guys have worked on my 6.7 Cummins ever since I stopped allowing the dealership to break everything. I've never had anything but exceptional service here. They take care of my truck like it is their own. Highly recommend to anyone with a diesel. read more

Good place great people danny a wonderful dude and knows his work and can fix any car given to him.

Beware. Danny is very confrontational and the entire process was frustrating and odd. Took the truck in for new headlights and a fuel issue. He found another leak. Okay, we authorized fixing this. He chose to fix this for a week and a half and then wanted us to pay for that portion having not have even ordered lights. Said he had guys to pay. His payroll should not be a customer issue. Nor should I have to pay for a job halfway through and bring the vehicle back when you have delayed the process. Also, every text had some form of "come pay me and bring cash". Just shady. I think he thought he was talking to someone else the whole time as I never met him the first time I went in and never agreed to cash, even though when told this, he freaks out claiming it untrue. Regardless, asked him to finish the job and I would pay. He told me I had to find lights and text him a link (odd, but okay). Frustrated this hadn't been done for over a week, I found a link and sent it. He then texted me multiple times about how he doesn't like Chinese crap. Well, then you could have chosen the lights and ordered them weeks ago, but chose not to and asked me for a link. I don't have time for that, that's why I'm paying you. When the truck was finally done, 3+ weeks total, he texted me that my "crap Chinese lights were in, bring cash" I'm not really sure about the quality of work as I've only driven the truck home from the shop, but the entire experience was just shady and I'm hoping they actually did the work. Customer service is terrible and when I mentioned this, he raised his voice with "Let me finish!" You would not make it on my customer service team, sir. I will not be returning. When we picked up the truck he was very confrontational and I tried to calm the situation with, "I'm not here to fight, I just need my truck." Just a strange experience with a shop. You do the work, I will pay, but you have to do the work and texting me to bring you cash right now is not a way to gain confidence or a return customer. read more

Ask this company for a price on a lift kit. Called And talk to Danny atleast 4-5 times. Then with no answer from him I called back for multiple days after to just getting ignored. They won't answer my calls. sad I liked you guys but I guess you don't want my business. read more

I broke down 38 miles out of Wickenburg. Got towed in to town $300 Dollars later I'm sitting at desert diesel. They said they were busy,i found a ride home. Two weeks later I call them. My fuel pump went out. They say 1600$ to fix, i say to much I'll pick it up So they tell me 250.00 $ for them to look at it. Talk about take advantage of travelers. Never again I'll walk first. read more

Installed my bumpers and a winch on 2018 Jeep and did a great job on installation, the only reason I gave it a four was the length of install which Danny did tell me to get a ride but unfortunately I was not able to. read more

Traveling in our RV, we were stuck out in the desert on I-10, the RV would not start. After about 2 hours in 107 degree weather and after calling about 10 different locations, we finally connected with Daniel at Desert Diesel Repair. He walked us through how to start the RV in about 5 minutes. The next day, he had the part and was able to get the RV repaired and us back on the road for our family vacation. We will be forever grateful to Daniel and his team, thank you for the amazing service! read more

Let me start by saying that I am not writing this review to bash Danny and his business. I'm writing to inform others of my experience. Around October 2016 I brought my 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 in to Dannys shop to get a head gasket replaced and new ARP studs installed. Danny called a few days later to say that my turbo was failing and needed a new one. So I agreed to upgrade to a larger charger. took almost 2 weeks to get this job completed as Dannys shop is disorganized and packed to the gills with crap. When I pick up my truck, the work was completed and getting into my truck, the drivers leather seat was covered in grease and oil. Not cool! After bringing that to Dannys attention he has his guy clean it. Ever hear of those plastic seat covers Danny? The truck ran fine or so it seemed. Got the truck home and popped the hood and first thing I noticed was the fan shroud was busted up and hanging by one bolt. I called Danny and he said bring it back by and he'd fix it. He did, but still another trip from Tonopah to his shop and more of my time wasted. Lets fast forward to roughly October 2017 (1 year later) We go to the dunes a lot during the winter months and pull a good sized fifth wheel with all of the toys inside. Our first trip out the truck would over heat and was having the same symptoms as having a blown head gasket. I believe it was December or January I took the truck back to Danny to have him install a new radiator for me and troubleshoot the overheating as by now the radiator was getting overpressurized and coolant was pushing back into the overflow tank. Again, took him several days to simply replace the radiator and then called and said that my transmission needed servicing. I told him to go ahead and service the tranny. When I picked up the truck, he said that my head gasket isnt blown but that I had metal shavings in my fuel filter resevoir. I asked where that comes from and he said that my CP3 high pressure fuel pump is failing and I will need a new one. Anyone who knows anything about the flow path of fuel through a CP3 pump knows that after leaving the pump the next stop is the fuel injectors. So I asked him if the CP3 is failing, wouldnt the injectors be failing also? Still i did not get a satisfactory answer from Danny except to tell me again that there are metal bits in my fuel filter. Rediculous!!!!!! Last Monday I scheduled my truck to be looked at by another automotive shop in Phoenix. On that same day they had the head removed and diagnosed the problem I have been experiencing. Danny and which ever minion worked on my truck never properly "set" the head down onto the block PRIOR to torquing the nuts. That caused the head to sit cocked on the alignment pins. They torqued the nuts down which caused the alignment pin to get crushed which in turn did not provide the head gasket to seal. The mechanic doing the work also found my valve cove bolts were stripped out, missing hardware and a couple drain tubes were broke. All of this was caused by Danny at Desert Diesel. Totally unexceptable. This should never have happened. I called Danny that day and shared with him what my new mechanic found, even sent the pics of the head and told Danny that I need him to pay for the job. At that time the bill was at $1500, but when it was all said and done I ended up paying $3500. Danny did issue me a check for $1500 but that only covered half the work. The photos of the head and alignment pins are posted. In short, I will never recommend Desert Diesel for any kind of work to be done on anything. I'm sure the "mechanics" there are not certified. Do your research and get good recommendations before selecting a mechanic. read more

Danny and his team are amazing. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and tried to work on getting me up and running ASAP. After taking my '14 LML to multiple shops over the last 6 months with the problem just repeating, Danny had the correct fix within 5 min and a week later truck was running better than ever. read more

I had Danny install exhaust, EFI Live tunes, Edge CTS2, EGT Probe, lift pump, fuel rail mod, remove failing EGR and DPF on my 2010 Sierra. What a difference! Took a couple of days in the shop and some trust as they are a bit disorganized. I am very happy with the results. I've had no issues and this truck is a complete animal now. I have a towing vane brake now and it works exactly as expected. I tow 18000 lbs all over the country and I need nothing more. Danny is honest and sticks to his quote. I was happy to find that I could call him when I had a question on the road about my EGT temps and he was happy to give me good information. I wouldn't hesitate to give him a call and you should check his google reviews as week to see his customer service there as well. read more

Had a terrible experience at Desert Diesel in Wickenburg Arizona had a truck being worked on there and had computer problems and other issues with a delete the manager was Aaron and he said he could fix it ended up he knows nothing about programming or deleting a lp5 Chevrolet completely lied to me tried to tell me I needed a transmission then tell me my truck was Vin locked and I'd have to leave it there for two weeks ended up fixing the truck myself help from people on Facebook lp5 forums read more

These guys are awesome! Professional, got me in duper fast and gave me a nice overview of what my Sprinter Van May need, topped of the fluids and didn't charge me a dime for it!! They are my new go-to's for diesel work. I love people (companies especially) that do good in the world. Really good energy here! read more

Took my truck there for repairs was told that repairs were not done by another Mech so I paid to have it done again . Got a code when I went to leave he cleared it. When I got home I had two more codes and other issues. He wanted $400.00 more to fix the code which I considered to have happened during R&R of other components. read more

Desert Diesel is a very incompetent diesel mechanic shop full of uneducated people that don't know how to repair vehicles without damaging them took my truck and ruined it and still charge me $20,000 Daniel is the worst mechanic in the world doesn't know how to do anything right and lies to you about it don't trust this shop read more

Me and both of my brothers have all had bad experiences here. Convenient location for the west valley but not impressed.

These guys left my broken truck at a gas station down the street and told me to go fetch it. When I got in the truck was full of their trash and my A pillar cover was broken off. These guys don't communicate at all and were super careless with my truck. Shame. read more

I've used Danny a few times to work on my 2005 Dodge Cummins. The truck has 236k miles and it was overdue for a set of new injectors and a new high pressure pump. Danny asked what my use and goals for the truck were, made suggestions on what I should replace and part suggestions. He worked on the truck for a few days to make sure it was perfect. When I went to pick it up he looked me in the eye and told me, "if anything goes wrong or your not 100% happy please let me know." I had his cell and he always answered. Going back next week for a Hp Tuners tune to finish out the build. Fantastic Diesel mechanic with fair prices. I will be back for all my trucks needs.... read more

This is a great mechanic shop . I bought my truck Ford F250 brand new in 2005 . Had work done by Desert Diesel , man on man my truck is running better then it EVER has. read more

I had my 2012 Ram 2500 with a 6.7 Cummins serviced there. After the Dodge dealer could not find a problem( low fuel rail presser). I brought it to Desert Diesel. They did a diagnostic on it, and repaired it. The whole fuel system was re-done. It was costly, but did the trick. The final test was pulling my 5th wheel up north out of the valley. No codes, a lot of power. Thank you Danny Orozco for the fix. read more

awesome customer service, got my truck in and out the same day, also called the next day to see how the truck was running very recommended

Terrible terrible l!! I brought my truck to them cause it was leaking stearing fluid. Aaron helped me and said it had a blown hose and to replace it it would cost around $250. When i came to pick it up the bill was $1300. i had to return the truck to him 3 times to fix issues that werent there before i took it To them. the last time i picked it up before i got in the truck i saw that the cord going to the chip was out and broken. I went back in and said this cord has been ripped out. He came out and looked at it and said oh im sorry i can fix that. When i came back yo get it fixed he did not recall the incident and said he couldnt help me. read more

I wanted to like this shop more but... My first interactions with this shop when I had an oil change on Nov 20th. Things went smoothly and I was happy to find a Diesel performance shop. I emailed Danny on Dec 26th about getting performance parts installed on my truck. He asked me to call and I called to confirm details on Dec 27th. The appointment was made for Jan Friday the 11th; two weeks prior. I was in town that weekend for work. I dropped off my truck early Friday the 11th and was greeted by a nice young guy and told him I had made an appointment with Danny. He called Danny to confirm. It was arranged that they would have the truck all day Friday till Monday allowing enough time to work on it. I Uber back and have friends drive me to work. From previous talks they said it may take two days but I figured to give them all those days, just for good measure. I told them I needed the truck back no later than Monday night on the 14th because I had to drive back to California for my other job. I call them on Saturday the 11th to get an update and Danny states, "to be honest we haven't touched your truck." I'm thinking okay... what's the deal? "can you finish it by Monday, like promised?" Basically I'm told they need more time because they don't have time for my truck. What upsets me is that I made an appointment two weeks prior and they knew I was coming in. I told them I travel between two states and needed the truck by Monday. I really wanted to like these guys but I wish they were straight up honest with me. It's ridiculous that I made an appointment two weeks prior just to have my truck sit there. Thinking back when I dropped my truck off that Friday; they seemed packed, but I figured since I had an appointment it would be sorted. I wasted my time and I wasted money to Uber from and to the shop. I really wanted to like this shop but I will not return based on this last experience. read more

I have taken my truck to Danny on two different occasions. Both times Danny and his team have proven themselves to be the best at what they do. 1st time in 2017 my Ram 2500 had an issue that I was issue of how to fix, it was running rough and was getting worse, Danny gave me an option that he was confident would fix the problem and my truck came out running strong and like a diesel should. 2nd time and most recently I had a transmission/torque converter issue or so I thought. I took it to Danny expecting big dollars and instead to selling me something I didn't need or repairing something that didn't need repaired he went ahead and told me the transmission was way low on fluid... by the last guy (not Danny) that changed the fluid. Danny filled the transmission to its proper level, did some diagnostics to make sure all was well with the truck, drove it and let me know the truck is good-to-go. Turned around in less than 2 days. Danny isn't much for BS'ing you, he'll give it to you strait and provide the facts. He and his team are solid and reliable, you may pay a little more but you know you're getting top notch service and reliability when they hand you back the keys read more

Danny was very respectful and told me exactly what was needed to be done and nothing more. When i first called to question the problems i was experiencing with my truck he was able to diagnosis the problem over the phone. My truck was returned to me exactly when promised. I would have never known the potential my truck has without Danny servicing it. I plan on returning for all future repairs. read more

RV repair, make sure you get a WRITTEN estimate. I got a verbal estimate of $400. It however took a bit longer and there were complications. I didn't have a problem with paying more. But $2000.00 more, no way! Make sure that estimate is in writing AND everything they did was on the receipt. They need to step up their game. read more
