Mark at Nextruk is the most straight shooting mechanic I've had the pleasure of doing business with. Honest, respectful, transparent, great communication, excellent customer service. Would recommend his shop to anyone in the Orange County area. Will be a return customer as long as Mark is there. Even took my wife's car to the car wash after being in his shop for 3 days. Can't say enough great stuff about this shop read more

In town from NorCal and needed help with a dead Ram 2500 diesel pickup. The fine gentlemen at NexTruk went way over and above to get me back on the road. Totally professional, great service and communication, fair prices and great advice. Thanks again Mark and Dwayne!!! A+ experience. read more

Extremely Poor communication between shop and customer, work was done without prior consent and then invoiced, painfully long wait times, and higher prices than other shops. Shop around. read more

Paid this shop $10 000 or more trying to fix the truck. Took about 5 month, because no-one was actually working on the truck. Truckers can understand what is the result of such a long wait - we lost way more money. This is not acceptable. There are so many good shops for such a price (including the dealer). We have a fleet of 10 trucks and growing. Bad you lost your client. read more

Just thought I would update quality of work. Having to go through and redo the labor myself because #1 they pinched wire harness between frame and bed. That resulted in an electrical system failure burning out the alternator and good stuff like that. #2. Fuel line was also pinched between the frame and the bed and this is what it was there for was fuel issues. In the process of lifting the bed to get these out from under it two of the six bolts were tight good job broke one of the gas tank straps left it there hanging good job. The electrical first. he told me to bring it in and let them take a look at it. Absolutely not would they ever be working on my truck again would I take it back to them just screw it up again. He had the nerve to that asked me if I knew what a hose clamp was when he had the fuel pumps out the only reason he had my truck because I had nowhere to do it I was a licensed mechanic for a long time. People like him I won't give mechanics a bad name. So after small claims I'm going to have to go cuz he charged me way too much to screw up my truck didn't even offer a dime back read more

After taking my truck to Theo Robins and their estimating replacing all injectors, etc etc.....(costing more than the truck is worth) I said stop and brought it to NEXTRUK for their opinion. Thanks guys for finding the solution to the missing coolant and stuck injector in my F250 6.0 Diesel. NEXTRUK found the EGR was OK but the original Manifold casting was not - Porous, wouldn't hold pressure. They had to source the Intake Manifold as no new ones are available. It took a few weeks but they kept me updated and aware of the progress. They replaced one glow plug on the previously stuck injector. My truck now runs as it was intended and is LIKE NEW again! (for about half $ Robins wanted for what proved to be unnecessary work). Thanks again! read more

100% recommend Nextruk. We struggled finding a diesel mechanic in the greater Orange County area and found a FAMILY with Mark and Duane at Nextruk. From the start they gave us a chance to talk things through, decide the best course of action and ensure safety in our vehicle. The installed a brand new engine, fixed our rear end, brakes, air conditioning and the list goes on. It's a one stop shop for almost everything and most importantly, they build a relationship with you. You pay for quality work and you pay for something that will last, and Nextruk stands strongly by their work. read more

Mark and his crew know their stuff. They do a professional job at a great price. I will recommend them to everyone I know.

Mark at Nextruk is by far the most honest and professional truck mechanic I've ever met hands down. He is always super thorough and does a great job with repairs. My husband and I have been taking our trucks to him for years now and he is by far the best mechanic one could ever work with. Trust me when I say if your looking for a mechanic that you won't have to worry about repairs, cost, etc. Nextruk is the way to go!! Thanks for always being such a great person and mechanic Mark it truly shows and we are very appreciative. read more

If I could give this place less than one star I would. Took my truck in as it was the place the previous owner had used for years and swore by. Maybe it's because I'm a girl and he (Mark) thought he could swindle me but he gave me an estimate for over $4,000 worth of work and said is was urgent these repairs needed to be made. He couldn't provide me with any specifics as to what the repairs were and said he would get back to me. Weeks went by and I never heard anything. So I called them- after a lengthy back and forth and them trying to find the Invoice (the office is a mess) with the list of repairs he told them to me over the phone. And again quoted me over $4,000. They wanted me to bring the truck in immediately as again these repairs were urgent and then I'd have to leave it for a week at least. Immediately my suspicion was up so I took the truck in for a second opinion. NOT ONE of the issues I was quoted was a legitimate repair that was needed for my truck. Instead of spending over $4,000 I spent $67 on new filters (which were the only things that needed to be changed) and my truck is stilling running with no issues over a year later. I will never go back to Nextruk nor will I recommend it to anyone else. read more

I have been coming to these guys for years!!! I don't really know much about auto repair, but it seems like no matter what happens with my truck either simple maintenance or large part replacement, they always get it done quick and for a better price. Its definitely a small place and not as flashy as some of the other places but I feel a lot better about leaving my truck with this place rather than one of the larger, less personal, mechanics. read more

This place is awesome! My truck took a while but this was due to a lack of parts. Brian literally spent 4 hours calling nationwide for parts. No BS because I myself spent two hours calling for parts with no luck. He found my kit in Illinois and had it shipped. I know the price of parts and they were 100% fair on that as well. The owner Mark is a good dude. A real straight shooter. I've tackled 80% of the issues on my 2012 6.7 Powerstroke and for this job I just didn't have the time. Nor did I want to learn how to program injectors. Being that I know a lot about my truck, my mechanic Steve explained his work and I knew he knew his shit. I was so impressed that he took the time to walk me through his work, on a few occasions when I stopped in. Mark, Steve needs a raise. He's a great mechanic and passionate about his work. The job was pricy but comparable to 3 other quotes. I picked these guys because they were close but I'd drive or have my truck towed to these folks from almost anywhere. I'd recommend Nextruk to a friend. I'll be back for them jobs I don't have time to do myself. Thanks again guys awesome work. read more

I made the mistake taking my Dodge Ram to another Diesel "specialist" that wanted to separate me from my hard earned $$. Luckily I never had them do what they wanted to do. I asked some people who they would recommend, and that is how I found Nextruk. Mark does great work and is extremely honest...so glad I found them!! read more

It took Nextruk TWO WEEKS to just give me a QUOTE on repairs after dropping off my Jeep. Throughout this time, my boyfriend and I kept calling for updates and they would never return our calls. In the end, the excuse they gave was that they "didn't realize this was my only vehicle" and thought it was just a recreational vehicle. Except that my boyfriend had told them when he dropped it off that it was my daily driver and only vehicle, and during the first week of waiting I even confirmed this with them myself. I had to spend over $200 taking Uber to work every day for these 2 weeks. Then, the quote they gave was exorbitant (almost double what would be reasonable for the service needed).  Oh and most shops will take the labor cost for the quote out of the price if you do get the work done but nope, he added that labor ($252) onto the price too. When I voiced my frustration to Mark, the owner, he was completely rude and made it clear that he didn't care about our business. He kept interrupting me on the phone and would only budge $150 off of $1,700, stating, "That should help with your quote-unquote 'Uber fares'."  As if he didn't believe me that I was taking Uber to work every day?!  When I politely mentioned to him that we were expecting the price to be around $1k, he interrupted me saying, "I don't see where you're going with this conversation."  I told him that we felt like we were their least important customers and honestly didn't feel like they valued our business. He was not apologetic at all. Finally, I said that unfortunately I don't think we will be able to get the repairs done at that price and will have to have it towed somewhere else, and rather than trying to keep our business, he interrupted again saying, "Ok just let us know how much of it to put back together because right now it's in pieces." I told him to put it back together just enough to roll onto a tow truck, and let us know when it's ready and we will arrange pickup. Then he had the nerve to call my boyfriend (same day) and push him to know "when it'll be gone" after they took their sweet time for TWO WEEKS. Unbelievable. Once we got the jeep back in our possession, my boyfriend bought parts for $200 and fixed it himself in 4-5 hours.  Problem solved:  $1,500 cheaper and several weeks faster. So, If you want your vehicle to sit around for multiple weeks, and then to pay the highest price while being treated like you're worthless, then by all means, come to Nextruk. read more

I took my Truck into Nextruk a few years ago(2015), I had issues with my 2008 Freightliner, that i had just purchased new, and the DP(Diesel Particulate) filter for smog requirements. My experience was not good and extremely expensive. I also had an air leak which needed to be looked at as well. First problem is they have no space, so it's the rubic's cube parking job, and double or triple the time they say it will take. After cleaning my DP filter, and "baking" it, i still had the problem, then after bringing it in again, and having it take another couple of weeks, I was informed by Mark that i needed all new injectors, and after that repair and them finally figuring out my air leaks, AGAIN, I was out 25K!!!! The worst part was, after I left, within 2 years I had the same problem, and my engine eventually wouldn't run, because the DP filter stopped working and the engine went into "Protect mode". I vowed never to take it back, and had it towed to the freightliner dealer, where they told me, I needed "NEW" injectors, AGAIN, and i had driven less then 10k in miles! I paid them 12k more to put in new injectors and I have not had a problem since. I looked into hiring an attorney because of this, but decided I didn't want to spend a bunch more on attorney fees, and i just wrote it off on a horrible recommendation to go there from a friend. I sent an email detailing that i needed new injectors after 2 years, and the price i paid them for repairs, and i never received a response. The final straw, and the reason I'm writing this review is I worked with a guy just recently, who just informed me that he had the same problem just recently with them, took three times longer then he thought, and cost him much more then he thought to have a clamp put on his turbo and new alternator belts, and it was over 2K. I would never, ever, recommend them, go to your local dealer, might cost more, but it will be done correctly, and much faster, and the problem will be fixed, the first time. read more

I have brought my diesel truck in for service several times. Mark (and his crew) have so much experience, they can usually jump directly to a problem, minimizing diagnosis time. They will earn your trust by fixing or servicing your vehicle quickly and correctly, at a fair price. Their experience extends into knowing if OEM parts are the best replacement, or an aftermarket is actually proven better, will last longer, and is often a cheaper option. GREAT service, friendly and trustworthy. I highly recommend Nextruk. They work on gas vehicles, as well - Anything but body work (not just engine work). read more

I have been looking for 2006/2007 Ford F-250 with the 6.0L motor for about 8 months. I have been doing a ridiculous amount of research on them and as anyone that knows about these motors can attest to; they are very finicky and can have many inherent issues (EGR, Oil Cooler etc.) I finally find one I would like to purchase after looking at 4 or 5 and it is a used car dealer. I generally will not even consider a used car dealer but Carfax showed one owner and it looked super clean so I rolled the dice. The first order of business was to have it checked by a mechanic. I called a couple places that specialize in diesels (*if you have a diesel motor do not let a "we work on anything with a motor" mechanic look at your vehicle, diesels are a whole separate beast and most shops don't have a clue) and the one that I hold in the highest regard was to busy to do a pre-purchase inspection but referred me to Nextruk. From the moment I called I knew I was in good hands. They told me everything they would be checking even without my "prompting." Based on my extensive research and knowing quite a bit about the 6.0 I knew I was in good hands. Duane even quoted me the correct operating voltage parameters of the FICM over the phone. They wanted the truck for 4 hours to do a complete inspection but that was not possible because the dealer could not spare an employee for that length of time. Everyone else I called (about 6 other mechanics) all said they could do it in an hour so I asked Nextruk if they could and they said yes but they couldn't give a complete inspection that includes a "cold start." Mind you, they are charging the same price as everyone else had quoted me for an hour and they were going to take 4 hours. I was sold. I knew part of that time was to let the motor cool and restart, but the kicker for me was that they were going to be so thorough. I had the dealer take the truck over and unfortunately I could not have been there as I was out of town. They spent over an hour checking EVERYTHING. When they finished I called and they emailed me a detailed report including the scan diagnostics and spent about 30 minutes on the phone explaining everything to me, even prioritizing issues that should be addressed in my negotiation of a price. They even told me that it would be cheaper to let someone else do a certain repair on my truck because it wasn't diesel/motor related!!!! I mean come on, they very easily could have told me I should let them fix it. Overall I cannot say enough good things about Nextruk and how impressed I am with their whole operation. They are honest, knowledgeable and courteous. I would recommend them to anyone. read more
