I was taken advantage of by this shop. They charged me $1,100 to tell me my engine was bad. I had already taken my truck there because I knew my engine was faulty and needed to go through my warranty company to get it fixed. They informed my warranty company that the engine repair would cost $28,000 for my 2006 Dodge diesel. They also told my warranty company that one of my injectors had gone bad and damaged my engine, causing it to knock. My injectors were only a little over a year old, and I have the receipts to prove it. They claimed that diagnosing the engine knock cost over $1,100. Please be cautious and avoid this shop. read more

Had several emission error codes and truck wasn't recharging. They were able to get everything diagnosed, fixed, and updated same day. Front desk was communicative and friendly and easy to work with. Definitely recommend and will be back. read more

Totally invested in providing the best service. Nicole has the greatest customer service skills I have experienced at a repair shop. The mechanics are highly skilled and dedicated to the trade! Rates were great and repairs were super fast! read more

Great experience and very knowledgeable. I'm going back. They have my business going forward.

This is the worst shop in town. took my truck with a bad diesel pump and he replace the ICP. I put a new pump outside his shop and drove away. He also charge me for new injectors and for upgrading to new standpipe and dummy plugs. When the standpipe went bad I fixed it and he did not want to warranty it telling me he could not verify the parts belong to them. read more

Amazing shop !!! They are super thorough and found many issues my other go to diesel shop missed over the years. They took great care of me and my 2015 Ram 3500 Diesel. Excellent rates and Alex in the front office made sure I knew and understood every step of the process of diagnostics and replacement of my turbo amongst other fixes made to my truck. Feel very fortunate to have found McDiesel the staff are committed and actually care lots ! One of the best customer service experiences I have had, ever. I will not take my truck anywhere else even for an oil change. read more

Great independent shop. I rely on my truck for work and they took excellent care of it. Saved me thousands over what the stealer would've charged me. Robert is a great guy with an excellent team. read more

Robert is easily the most honest and reliable diesel mechanic in Reno/Sparks. When I asked for my truck to be bullet proofed he quoted me 7-10k when my truck was ready he called and let me know it was gonna cast me 2300.00 because it was already partially bullet proofed already. I wouldn't have know the wiser as I bought I used. he has also been there for me in a jam and I believe he actually cares for his customers and their needs. read more

Great shop, highly skilled in the world of Diesels. They fixed my truck when the dealership couldn't. I highly recommend this shop!

After having my Ford F250 worked on by Robert, I came away thrilled with the results and also the fair price. I am delighted to recommend Robert, of McDiesel, to anyone who may ask and will refer anyone who may be in need of his services. Thank you, Robert, for making a pleasant experience out of what could have been a nightmare! Gratefully, Ted W. read more

I am very picky about my 1999 F350 7.3L. We full-time in a 37' RV and I keep the truck just like brand new. Every year I visit Reno to see family. I have gone to many diesel mechanics and it is very difficult to find good ones. Well I have found the one that I will use to keep my truck running top notch. I had my check engine light come on while in town this year. they replaced the glow plugs and had me up and running in less then two days. Bonus, my gas mileage went up. I then made an appt. to get a better radiator installed along with several little odds and ends like new headlights and door switches. Once again, They were great. I am happy I found a good honest diesel mechanic. I am need for an A. C. recharge. Calling them now. read more

Once again this business does not disappoint. Great work and great prices. Love coming here

Had my 1997 F250 repaired by mcdiesel after a garage mechanic got in over his head. These guys are pros and know there diesels. I usually avoid repair shops after being taken advantage of in the past, but mcdiesel did not try to up sell me on any unnecessary repairs. I'm glad I have a shop I can count on for any major repairs. Thanks!! read more

Finally found a diesel mechanic that you can rely on. This guy is honest. I originally took my truck to Jones west ford, (bad mistake) I had an "appointment" for 8am to have a diagnosis of a coolant leak, I was told it would take 1.5 hours, after 7 hours they told me it was the water pump leaking and they could fix it in a week for a small fortune. I took my truck to Robert at McDiesel and he found that some hose clamps were leaking. He had the truck on the road in a few hours for a fraction of the cost. The losers at Jones West Ford will be put out of business by honest reliable mechanics like McDiesel. McDiesel could have replaced my water pump and charged me out the wazoo if they were con artists like the Ford dealer. Thanks Again McDiesel. read more

See all

Long story short, dealers screwed me with warranties. All warranties were canceled because I lifted the truck 4", less than the 6" max. MOPAR SUCKS!! But McDiesel came to the rescue and repaired my over $5000 bill and gave me an amazing price of $1700. Turbo actuator went bad. When I picked up the vehicle a coup days later, I was told the $1700 was wrong and that they over quoted me with the part. I left with an amazing repair and only paying $1000. Needless to say, customer for life. Great job, keep it up. read more

After a crash I took my truck to Coachcraft (do NOT go there. When I received the truck back I had multiple issues with it. The main one is my wheel and tire coming off on the freeway. Coachcraft is a whole different story. However I felt like the truck was no longer reliable or safe. So I called McDiesel to do a bumper to bumper thorough check. They were very professional, fixed a few things on my truck, and they were very responsive as well. I would highly recommend them to friends and family. And I'm trying to spread the word that Coachcraft is a terrible company, the owner actually was cursing at me because I had to bring back my truck for a 3rd time. Also on different truck they worked on for me, they used a zip tie and heat shrink to fix a $37 part. Which of course failed in about 1 month, cost us $900 for a mechanic to diagnose and install. Long story short: McDiesel great- Coachcraft terrible. Thank you McDiesel for making sure I had a reliable truck!! read more

This shop is purely A+ You know the feeling when you realize you need a mechanic, but then that crapy feeling rises in your stomach in finding the right shop/mechanic. Well, not with this shop. The owner works onsite and is one of the most genuine people I've met. They will go the extra mile. read more

After my last service by McDiesel on my 2000 F350, the oil filter was not tightened after being replaced. As a result, oil leaked and covered the under carriage of my truck. I thought something awful was going on as I couldn't see the source of the oil leak. Fortunately it wasn't something awful, just a lack of attention to detail. My truck is irreplaceable, they don't make them like that anymore and I certainly can't afford a new one. I won't be back. read more

Robert has always been a super straight shooter with me. This shop has always done great work for me at a competitive price. When something goes wrong with my truck I don't think twice about driving an hour away from home to get it in here when there are ten shops that are much closer to where I live in Truckee. read more

Awesome shop, great turn around. The final cost for the work performed was lower than the original quote even after adding on another item. Definitely earned my future business. read more

I took my 6.0 powerstroke to get a water pump put in with a 7.3 adapter and also had a coolant and oil leak that I could not figure out where it was coming from. Not only did they figure out both leaks but replaced my bulletproof oil lines that were routed badly(not my fault) and leaking with some lines that look lot more heavy duty. It did take a little bit off time to get truck back but really its cause they are such a great shop and are very busy, I drove from San Jose to get my truck worked on by them just because of their rep and I would do it again. 3 weeks since I picked up the truck and not a drop of oil . I am very pleased read more

Great place to bring your diesel for service friendly fast and honest. Easy people to deal with they till you exactly what's wrong and charge a fair price read more

These guys are legit. I'll definitely be going back for more work and my oil changes. They went in addressed the issue and it was fixed promptly. Their pricing is more than fair! Thanks guys! read more

I frickin love Robert and his guys. I feel that they are totally professional and would never be the type of shop that would throw parts at a truck in uncertainty. Every time I've paid Robert I've thought that it was more than fair and that I'll definitely be back again. Thanks McDiesel. read more

Robert and his staff are fantastic. While friendly and trustworthy, his team is also an authoritative source on diesel mechanics. I brought my '97 12 Valve Cummins to him for a valve spring job and his shop did great work at a reasonable price. Robert let me hang out in his office during the job, and we talked shop on and off for several hours. I always appreciate picking a mechanics brain and expanding my own knowledge base, which Robert was more than happy to participate in. I generally like to do most work on my truck on my own, but the next time I need diesel work done by a professional, I'll be giving my business to McDiesel again. read more

I was on a road trip and had stopped in Reno for 2 days when the engine light on my Ford F450 came on. Stopped by the local Ford dealer twice and got a taste of why they have such a bad name around town! So I came here to Yelp, found McDiesel, read the great reviews (thank you to those reviewers!) and called to see if I could bring my vehicle over immediately. No problem! Robert immediately diagnosed the reason the engine light was on, quickly ordered the parts, did the repair and I was on my way within hours! I completed the remaining 1,400 miles of my trip without incident. Thank you Robert and Melanie for such outstanding customer service! read more

Robert and his crew at McDiesel are hands down the best mechanics shop I've ever been to and dealt with!! They are so incredibly honest, trustworthy, reliable, and affordable its ridiculous!! I will never take my truck to another mechanic for as long as I live in the Tahoe/Reno Area. If I moved I would probably commute back here just to take it to them. I would give them 100 stars if I could. Thank you McDiesel for being such a stand-up awesome shop!! A+ read more

Thank you for fixing my truck so quickly and at a great price.

Best customer service, very friendly, and they definitely did a very good job on my 05 duramax. If you are having truck issues this is the place to go. And I am very pleased to say I will be taking my truck back there in the future. read more

do not bother calling or leaving a message, did this 4 times, they will not return your call very poor customer service

I would like to start off by saying that Robert has been amazing I happen to be a mechanic and own my own shop and normally do my own work. Since finding McDiesel though, I have pretty much stopped working on my own truck. I usually give a place several visits before reviewing and it's about time I write this one. I have been using McDiesel since shortly after they opened and have sent many of my customers here as well, and I must say in over a year I have yet to have a problem or heard back from a referral that they had a problem with any work preformed here. Honest quality work every time that is my experience with Robert and the team at McDiesel. I own a very hard driven 6.0L F350 anybody who has one I'm sure knows the struggles LOL but I love my truck and have found that my time is better spent taking care of my customers and letting Robert take care of my truck. Having had my truck worked on by several shops in town I have been through some good some bad, thus far I have had nothing but praise for the team here and I'm a rather critical person when it comes to service one and more so anybody else other then myself working on my cars. Rest assured that if you bring your truck through this shop you will get the same trusted service!!! read more

Excellent service, reasonable prices, they communicate and follow through with estimates of both time and price! Best in town!
