Nobody knows more than Diesel Dan about diesel trucks. On the one occasion where I compared prices for the dealership and this business, this business one hands-down. read more

I love HB Diesel and highly recommend it if you have a Ford diesel truck. This is my first 350 diesel and it is comforting to know that my truck is in good hands here at HB Diesel. All these guys have been working on Ford diesel's for a long time and are factory trained. The best thing is that when I go in there I don't feel like they are taking advantage of me because I'm a female. The prices are fair and better than a dealership and everyone is very nice and professional. read more

Can't say enough good things about these guys. Helped me resurrect my late father's 2005 6.0 that had been sitting for 13 years. They explained the entire process step by step. Dan and Gary are extremely knowledgeable and even walked me through a broken down 6.0 engine on a stand to explain everything they were doing to bulletproof the engine and get it to be a daily driver again. If you have a Ford diesel there is no other place you should go. read more

HB diesel performed the bullet proofing on my 6.0 L Ford F250. Dan was knowledgable and helpful in the process. He gave me options to improve my vehicle with it already apart to save labor costs. I appreciated this and never felt pushed into the decision. I waited to leave the review to see how the truck ran. It's been a beast. No issues. Dan and his team were great. Thank you. read more

Worked with Gary & Dan over there. -Solid knowledgeable guys. In my past experience when working mechanics, the vibe is dicey and shifty. With these guys, they're progressively communicative, consultive, honest, timely and most importantly...for you bean-counters out there, got the job done right for a reasonable price. Bing-Bang-Boom, donezo. read more

Dan is the best! Very knowledgeable and willing to help. The shop was so busy but he was happy to assist me and get me back on the road.

Gary and Dan are the best! My wife decided to put gas in my diesel truck and then drive it...this resulted in a complete destruction of my fuel system. Dan consulted me regarding what happens to the fuel system when this happens and gave me a fair price to fix. The workmanship, professionalism and integrity was beyond my expectations. Gary was responsive, empathetic, and honest throughout this difficult situation. I totally recommend HB Diesel to anyone looking for a great team to maintain your diesel truck. read more

Look no further for a mechanic... they're right here! I've had so many nightmares with other mechanics and I'm so thankful I found Gary and Dan. These guys are as honest as they come, know everything to know about Ford trucks and do an incredible job! read more

I have been searching for years for a quality master diesel mechanic and I have found that and more with Dan at HB Diesel. I have 2 diesel trucks that I have been taking to him over the past year or more. His character is unmatched as he was of great help to me when 1 of my trucks was recovered after being stolen. Dan is honest, fair, and knowledgeable. I don't want this review to sound like a cliche but it's truly a blessing to have found him. read more

I went to go see Diesel Dan the other day for an air conditioning cooling issue, not sure if he could help or not. This guy was fantastic he knew what the problem was the second I explained him my symptoms. He diagnosed and actually fixed itIn 15 minutes. Cost was minimal and results were fantastic. Highly recommend Diesel Dan, he knows what he's doing and knows diesel trucks. read more

Dan went out of his way to help me today. I grew up here and drive down from WA to visit my family during the holiday break. My truck tripped a battery light and Dan helped me troubleshoot the problem and made me feel better about the 1200 mile drive home. He took time out of his busy schedule to help me out for about 90 minutes. Great customer service and great technical advice. Thank you! read more

If you are having trouble with your diesel truck, Dan is the only one to take it to. I had trouble with my F250 -7.3 in Idaho. He went out of his way to help me get up and running. His work is always the best . Don't even think about taking your vehicle to anyone else. I recommend him highly, and will never go anywhere else to get my truck worked on. read more

I had a vacuum pump leak, and needed an oil change since I was bleeding oil for a week. Was quick and the initial estimate was right on point. I am new to the diesel world but will definitely go back for a tuner and some other intake gear soon. If you need truck work in HB I highly recommend them. read more

We are a Local Towing Company and I met Dan when I was having issues finding a trusted Diesel Ford mechanic. Our Ford F450 is important we keep maintained and he immediately found an issue and climbed underneath and repaired ky while the engine was running. The very first thing I noticed was Dan was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain engine components and. The necessary repairs. I teccomend Dan for all power stroke owners and diesel from ford is definitely his cup of tea. Thanks again Dan. I now refer to him as Dan The Man !! Sincerely , Tommy's Towing &Transport Surfcity HB. read more

Called Dan on a short notice about a serpentine belt he told me to bring it in and in a few hours I was back on the road. Thank you for your speedy service and knowledge for future work on my 6.0 f250 read more

HB Diesel has been doing the work on my F250 diesel for a few years now. The mechanic is Ford certified and very knowledgeable and the quality of work has always been top notch and the cost has always been fair. I would recommend Dan at HB Diesel to anyone. read more

definately knows his diesel stuff.I am a snap-on dealer in huntingtonn beach and i usually send him problems other shops are stumped on.

Met Dan, Beginning of 2017, just after i bought my 1st F250 4x4 4 door 8 Ft long bed Diesel Truck. Referred by a fellow contractor doing work for me at the time, Thought I knew Diesel after driving a big rig my whole life. To my dismay, altogether two different creatures, Not even close. Hesitant & reluctant to use, due to Diesel mechanics being Large Cash cows. Not only has Dan, proved to me his extreme knowledge, & the quickness he has showed me in the turn over off my truck being complete the first time i used him, The second & third time, it just got better. What I want to say is the last time, I went to some one else, not only was the price higher, yet fair. Until I had this mechanic, make me a estimate, Next day I went back to Dan. Not only did the guy lie to me with his smooth sweet talk, candy fed counter. about what he was going to charge, he doubled the price, by adding the extra to the parts & charging me less on labor, still reaching 3,500. That grabbed my attention. Dan has earned the name, Dan the Diesel man, Diesel Dan, not only charged me, with what he paid for parts, His labor was half the price,1,500 less. My truck was only down 1 day, not three days like the other guy. Here's my recommendation. If you want Dealer Quality, Done fast at have the price, quality parts with what they cost. NO BULLSHIT !!!! honesty & the professionalism of a Quality Diesel Mechanic, Even communicates with you on weekends, via cell, talking about taking pride in your vehicle, That's Dan, & You found the best in Southern California, any questions email me at jb@uglyhousebros.com read more

Just recently purchased a F-250 6.0 that everyone was telling me NOT to buy so I called Dan and asked for his advice. He told me what to look for & reassured me that they were not ALL bad trucks. After buying it I brought it to his shop & had him go through everything. He fixed a few minor things & I'm a happy Ford owner now. Dan could have easily told me I needed lots of work done but he's as honest as they get. Very hard to find a honest mechanic you can trust but Dan is excatly that! Prices we extremely fair, his work was fast & he truly cares about you & your vehicle! I have already recommended a few friends go to see him & they are happy too. I will continue to go to HB Diesel with confidence as long as I own my truck! read more

Dan is the man. A truthful, intelligent and fair master Ford mechanic who really takes the time to explain the issues to you. I brought my 6.0 in on a Friday afternoon and he immediately diagnosed the problem within 15 minutes. Monday morning I dropped it off and by that afternoon he had it repaired. His price was competitive to the competition and his thoroughness was unmatched. I'd highly recommend HB Diesel for any service issues you have. read more
