This review is easy. The owner, Jesus, is one of the most knowledgeable mechanics I know. This guy will sit and explain to you what it is that is wrong or right with your truck, car, or SUV.
He explains things in plain old commoner English, not that mechanic babble you get at every other dealership and fly-by-night shop.
Seems this guy and his crew are always busy when I walked in, but he never once brushed me off. He took the time to clearly navigate my numb mind through the best and most cost effective solution. Trust me, I understand tire changing and oil changes, but beyond that, you might as well be talking to me in an unknown dialect of Mandarin. I walked out of here with a full understanding of all my repairs and with a clear head about how I need to take care of my car.
Like I said, I'm from out of town and this guy probably knew I was never coming back, but he treated me just the same as the 3 others that came into his shop while I was there. No wonder he's moving into a bigger place.
Only other place I would trust a mechanic is at home with the guy I have been seeing for over 3 years.
I almost didn't want to leave this place. That's how much at-home he made me feel. We don't run across too many business owners like this guy with the knowledge and customer service needed to survive in today's and tomorrows world, but this guy nailed it right on the head.
Kudos to Murrieta Diesel and Auto.

Beware!!! made an appointment with Murrieta diesel to drop off my truck at 830am, so they could diagnose a problem I was having. I called them at 3pm, and they hadn't even diagnosed my truck yet. I needed the truck repaired for my work the next day.
Murrieta Diesel needed my truck the next day to continue diagnosis... Are you kidding me!! I made a appointment and you'd think they would have looked at my truck in the morning and fix it. I can't leave my truck for two days ( fuel pump leak) and I paid them over 100 bucks for them to diagnose it.
Don't go !! Receptionist was rude...

This place is as good as it gets! The service upon walking in is wonderful, the lady is knowledgeable and always polite. The technicians know exactly what they are doing and always get the answer right! I was recommended here by a few friends and I can definitely say now that my vehicle will always go here from now on. I will recommend anyone I know to come here to get their vehicles worked on. Thanks so much for assisting me and getting me back out on the road!

I've been using Jesus for a few years now and as anyone who has a 6.0 power stroke knows they can get costly on maintaince and with that being said it's easy to get mad at your mechanic when your forking out $$$, with that being said I've had a few bumps in the road along the way but I know how it goes as I run a family business as well so when I had theses issuse my concern was how would they (Murrieta diesel and auto) deal with them and how would they treat my pocket book and as I hoped they would, they TOOK CARE of me. Replaced faulty parts they had put on for me months or weeks earlier as the parts had not held up, no fault of their own. When I had a small smoke problem in the beginning I took it in to him sure of it that I was gonna be getting a hefty bill for service but saw none as they could initially not diagnose any problem and if I recall right they didn't even charge me for the diagnostic fee I believe since they were not able to find anything coding wrong but thought it was weird them selfs. Any way after the smoke got to be a bit more noticeable and we were able to finally get it to duplicate the smoke as it was a small but regular amount that's when they knew something was wrong and with 5 days diligence and good diesel mechanic knowledge he and his staff were able to find a small and abnormal leak in the turbo and I say this because it didn't smoke like a chimney which from what I understand is more the norm. They nailed it, got parts ASAP and next day close of biz I and my big beast were back out on the road smoke and stink free and can report still running strong. No business runs with out hick ups but it's how they handle them that makes them shine or not. That's my view

Jesus is great as well as his whole team. I've been using these guys for several years now and they are always professional and do great work at a reasonable price. Jesus is very good about telling you whether you should bring your vehicle to the dealer or to him depending on the problem. He looks for ways to get the job done right and save you money, which is very hard to find in a mechanic as we all know. Recently I brought my work van in for a battery problem which was under warranty and Jesus took care of it all at no charge He's trusted and recommended by me. Thanks Jesus

I would first like to acknowledge that Jesus is an excellent diesel mechanic. I have 3 fords all with the 7.3l motor. Jesus has been working on my trucks for more than 8 years. We have recommended countless people to him over the years. Just last year I spent $4000 with him 8 new injectors.
The reason for my 3 star rating as follows.
Jesus used to come out to my truck and talk to me about what he believed was wrong with my vehicle. Now he has his secretary book a $105 diagnostic without even stepping out of his office to say hi. I know he is busy and I don't even mind the premium prices he charges but the reason I always came back and referred friends was his willingness to shake my hand and give me a quick idea of what the problem could be. I miss the old days in his old shop when he answered the phone. As a result he has lost me and several others as a customer.

I love Jesus and his Family. He was our mechanic for the last few years and we recently moved out of state and are so sad to have to find a new mechanic. I refer him to everyone I know!!

***WARNING***I was recommended to Jesus being new to the area. Mind you he was very professional, after speaking with him on the phone he told me to take it in. When I took it in I received a phone call 24 hours later. Where he informed me that the problem could be several different things. I took it in for an engine reduce problem. He told me there were 3 different codes coming up on his diagnostic monitor. At the end of the day he changed them all, paid over 3,000 dollars rental car fees and all. After being without my vehicle for a month n having return twice for the exact same problem. He finally told me that he could not fix my truck, and could no longer figure out what was wrong and that his professional opinion was "that my truck did not like the way i drove it." So I asked him, I know you put labor and parts into it but the problem still persist so how about you reimburse half and we both take a loss. He said he was sorry and could not do that. I took the truck to a place in Norco that found and fixed the problem the next day for the same cost and gave me up to 500 horse power. I would just hate for anyone less fortunate to be out of pocket.

Arrived on the job site with a 2007 Dodge Sprinter 2500 Diesel with 200,000 miles that was making a funny noise. Tried to turn the engine over to let some coworkers hear it and it wouldn't crank. I googled diesel repair and found these guys. Had the vehicle towed here just before noon. He wasn't too busy and had a diagnosis by mid-afternoon. Had it repaired in a very reasonable amount of time and cost. My boss commented to me later that week that he was very impressed with their knowledge and service, and thanked me for finding it. My boss NEVER thanks me for doing anything!

This is a really bad place. If you can go elsewhere, please do. I had no choice because my car broke down and this was the nearest one, I thought this would be a great place but it was the opposite. The receptionist is real rude to every person who walks through the door, then any other place would have given me a free quote, they charged me $50 just to see what was wrong with my car, and then they immediatly said I needed a new engine for $3500 or they would purchase it from me for $250, it felt like a slap in the face. This place just tries to gauge as much money from you as possible, and when they see you won't pay their prices, they toss you away like trash. Go elsewhere!!!

I bought my Pontiac brand new in 1988. 277,000 miles later it's starting to have a few problems, especially with the fuel injection and passing smog. IS&R fixed its current issues in one day and charged far less than I had expected to pay. Good work done quickly for a fair price. Now I'm trying to decide which of its other problems to have them look at next.

Paid $300 to find out that they can't find the problem

I took my car into their "repair shop" (what an ironic name) because my car was hesitant, they said they did three hours worth of "testing" on my car to find that they said that there wasn't a problem. Went to Page Automotive on Sixth…

Avoid this shop!

They are extremely slow and they over-charge for everything compared to other shops. I think the mechanic charges by the second (even though he doesn't know what he's doing). Don't take your car to this place - if you do you will regret it.
