The people who work at the front desk are very nice and straightforward and I just had a good vibe from them. I brought my car back a few months later when I noticed a weird noise coming from the tire. Based on my description, they initially thought it was a wheel bearing and quoted me a price of $400 to replace that. Turns out, the tires just needed to be rotated and they were wearing unevenly. So they rotated and balanced and did some other stuff and the price of all that was $80. They could have EASILY told me they replaced the wheel bearing and charged me for the full amount that I was prepared for. But, they didn't bc they are honest and amazing people. I will forever bring my car to them and recommend them to anyone who asks! Oh, and btw, I just randomly stopped by to ask about this noise bc they are THAT approachable. And they fit me in the same day and gave me a loaner car! You don't get much better than that even at a super high end dealership (bc I have been to those too). This place is legit. For real. I love them and will continue to do all my car business with them! And they do after market work on cars and Jeeps in particular!

"Nice guys, reasonably priced, explained everything to me" Gearhead Motorworks is it! Its two guys - Josh and Travis, working out of their garage but don't let that deter you! They're licensed, knowledgeable and thorough. I was having some issues with my Dodge Dakota. Josh took the time to listen to what I had been experiencing and set me up with an appointment, even gave me a reminder text one day prior which is awesome. I dropped off my vehicle and maybe 20 minutes later he had given me a call back to explain what him and Travis had found and what they'd be doing next. Maybe an hour later (if that) they delivered my truck back to me. I appreciated that Josh took the time to explain to me exactly what the issue was and the repairs he made to correct it. I'm super happy to have found these guys and definitely recommend them. Look to Google for more reviews on these guys.

Matt was straight up with me giving me estimates for the best and worst case scenario - the absolute worst case coming in $5k under what the dealership was wanting! Matt contacted me throughout the repairs to let me know what was going on, and explaining to me the reasoning behind each repair suggestion. I couldn't afford the entire service and they worked with me to repair what I could afford. The rest I'm able to do on my own. They also were able to provide me with a loaner vehicle which saved me hundreds of dollars over a rental. While they weren't necessarily "cheap", I felt the work was done right, with OEM parts + a 2 year/24k mile warranty on the parts and labor.

It took them a week longer to get the work done than we were originally told. Once they finally installed the transmission, we were told that it came with a faulty sensor, and that they would have to get the part from Honda. They then charged us for the faulty sensor that came with the transmission -- almost $300. The initial quote for a new transmission was $10,000 parts and labor. They said that they could get a certified, refurbished one and drop the price to closer to $8,000. We chose to go with the certified refurbished transmission (while we were waiting for the work to be done, 4 hours after we showed up -- and it was still the next day before they finished it -- the manager was talking to us and saying that a brand new transmission for the car would have been $16,000 -- even though 2 weeks before he had quoted us $10,000). The final bill, with the other things they added on, was $9,700 (which turns out to be significantly more than what we were told and more than other shops would charge). They also told us a list of things that needed to be dealt with that were problems with the car. I was curious simply because I heard three other customers being told that they had similar issues that needed to be dealt with. Driving the car the next day, there was a weird squeaking sound. We took it to another shop to see if they could diagnose the problem -- a number of the bolts holding the transmission were loose! They tightened them up and the sound disappeared. Not only was the work very late and overpriced, it was shoddy. We also asked this shop to check the other issues that Saul's Autotek had said were issues that needed to be addressed, and we were told that those "issues" were fine.

When I asked questions about their findings, I was met with rude and dismissive responses, so I decided not to move forward with any repairs. A couple of days later, I noticed fluid leaking onto my driveway and took my truck to another mechanic for a second opinion. They confirmed my brakes and rotors were in mid/good condition, and the brake noise was simply due to the type of brake pads and dirt. They also found that the rear differential bolt had not been fully tightened, which was the cause of the leak. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Excel Diesel & SUV. I was disappointed with both the customer service and the inaccurate repair recommendations, especially after paying a fee just to have the brakes inspected.
