He wouldn't return our calls when I asked them about my car and he broke apart and I had to rent a car and he forgot to tell me that if I told him that we used his shop that we'd get a discount but he forgot to tell me that and so when I got the bill back it was very high and he would only pay a portion of it. So therefore I had to come up with the other money. I'll never use this company again and I recommend nobody to use this place.

This review is for a family member. He brought his daughter's newly renovated 1951 classic car to…read morethis shop for service. When he picked up the vehicle, it immediately started overheating-a mechanical issue that did not exist when he originally dropped it off. He returned the car so the mechanic could correct the overheating, but upon the second pickup, the vehicle was still overheating. Furthermore, the car's rare exterior classic visor was stolen while in the shop's exclusive custody. The visor is valued at $1,000.00, which does not include the additional costs for paint and labor to replace and install it. When he contacted the shop regarding the missing property, they denied the theft occurred on their premises and accused him of lying. Under California law, an automotive repair shop has a legal duty of care (bailment) to protect vehicles left in their possession and is liable for missing property. He has filed a formal grand theft police report and an official complaint with the California Bureau of Automotive Repair. AVOID THIS BUSINESS IF YOU VALUE THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF YOUR VEHICLE!!

In June, I had a cooling hose replaced and front breaks there also, but they didn't install the hose clamps properly and caused fluid to continue to spray all over my engine and under neath my car, by july ( a few weeks later) something was dragging under my car and I went in (kinda freaked out, seemed dangerous) but LouLou said they were at lunch and to come back in an hour- (a few people sitting in the office eating) .... so I came back in two hours BUT it looked like tHE mechanic and the Lady were leaving and the lady told me to come back the next MONDAY, very dismissive , but then the man got out of his car and ripped the hanging part out from my car and said it should be fine, .... I was stunned. It was 3:30 on Friday afternoon- and front desk girl wanted to go home- dismissed me again. NOW 2026, I got a new mechanic, of course..and the new mechanic said there are several issues including the battery and under my car there is a small hole in a hose which caused a slow oileak and splashed OIL under my car because there was no cover.... Leaving it exposed to road debris. My car is older but I have taken it in anytime I had the slightest issues. But now $5k later it's in worse shape than ever and would be thousand of dollars to clean and repair all these issues. My car is the shop again, Again because my battery- so Today- I called Sonoma auto to check the warranty on the battery they installed and got nothing but rude helpless answers from the front desk person. . Sh treats me like I annoyed her. Except, I'm a paying customer. Not there to make friends with LouLou. She's rude or she's just covering for the faulty services I received. Or both- sometimes, just taking reasonability for action is all a person needs to hear. But being meet with more dismissive behavior will only add fuel to the fire. Take responsibility, be accountable and treat customers like customers.

It is deeply disappointing that we feel compelled to write this review, especially given our…read morelong-standing and overwhelmingly positive experiences at West Coast Diesels' Sebastopol Road location. We've always appreciated the professionalism and expertise we've encountered there, and up until now, considered them our go-to diesel specialists. Let it be clear: this review is not a reflection of that team, but solely of the egregious experience we had at the Airway Drive location. From the very beginning, our dealings with the Airway Drive shop were marred by poor communication, extended delays, and a general air of disorganization that suggested either a lack of competence or a troubling disregard for customer service. Still, we remained patient--until the situation took a turn that was not only unprofessional, but wholly unacceptable. Upon arriving to retrieve our vehicle, I witnessed someone driving it toward the premises under the guise of a "test drive"--a process that should have been completed prior to our scheduled pick-up. More baffling was the bulky, black electric bicycle inexplicably loaded into the truck bed. Alarmed, I immediately rushed to the front office for answers. In the brief time it took me to walk in, the bike had vanished from the truck bed. When I confronted the staff, Jena informed me the truck had gone out for a final test drive and went to determine who had taken it. Moments later, Travis Coleman--co-owner of West Coast Diesels--came forward and casually admitted to using my vehicle to pick up a birthday gift for his son. His explanation? That it was "just a 7-mile" test drive, and "the truck runs great". As if the brevity of the distance somehow excused the gross violation of trust. Even more troubling was the fact that the odometer showed 33 miles had been added (from when it was dropped off)--well beyond what would be considered standard for any diagnostic test. One week = 33 miles Let's be clear: this was not a test drive. This was a co-owner of the business using a client's property for personal errands without permission, without disclosure, and without remorse. That Mr. Coleman felt entitled to use our vehicle as if it were his own--especially under the flimsy pretense of a family-related errand--is deeply unsettling and entirely unprofessional. It begs the question: if the ownership is comfortable doing this, what other ethical boundaries are being crossed behind closed doors? This incident alone is enough to erode any confidence in the shop's integrity. But unfortunately, it was not the only issue. Our vehicle sat in their care for a full week for what should have been a relatively routine repair. We received no proactive communication--every update had to be requested--and were met only with vague excuses about being "down technicians." While staffing challenges are understandable, poor planning and dismal communication are not. As a customer, it is not our job to chase down answers or accept delays without accountability. In light of this experience--especially the unauthorized use of our vehicle by a business owner--we will never be returning to the Airway Drive location of West Coast Diesels. If you value professionalism, honesty, and basic respect for your property, think twice before entrusting this shop with your vehicle. Disappointment doesn't begin to cover it. This was a complete failure in customer service, ethics, and leadership. Jake & Lucy
