Although their large sign says Inline Diesel Repair, they have a smaller sign that also says auto repair. I never noticed this for years until my car decided to stop shifting while I was parked at work, which thankfully is located right next door to them! I had always seen them working on big trucks. Anyway, after calling my boyfriend to help me, he went into the shop to get advise. The owner was very friendly & helpful. He already knew what my problem was and told us what to do temporarily until I could drop off my car the following day in the morning so they could order the parts. While I was at work, the owner kept me updated on what they found, gave the estimate, and the approximate time it would be ready. Everything went like clockwork! I was able to pay and pick up my car during my break, and get back to work without interruption. Everyone was very nice, personable and professional. I felt very comfortable utilizing their services and thought they were reasonably priced. Now if my car acts up again, hopefully it will be at work! What luck to have found this place and it was right under my nose! read more

These guys did great work on my husband's truck. They were super laid back and very knowledgeable about the repair work. The pricing was reasonable and the work was done fairly quick. Had we not moved out of state, we would for sure be regular customers. read more

I had one of my mechanic friend try to fix my 2003 F450 because it had a crank but wouldn't turn over and start. I ended up buying new battery and put in a new starter but the truck still didn't start. Feeling frustrated, I googled a Diesel repair shop and found Inline Diesel Repair to have good reviews. I called up Inline Diesel Repair shop and spoke to Chris...and had my Truck towed to the shop. 2 days went by and Chris or was it Bob that called me told me that he was able to diagnose the problem and it was the AC Belt that was torn and struck that's why the engine wasn't able to turn over. Bob gave me a quote, if i wanted his shop to do the AC. I spoke to my wife and we decided that we are not in a financial position to fix it now. I asked Bob...What do I owe his shop for the diagnostic and such fee....He stated that I didn't owe him anything for the diagnostic...WoW!!! It's hard to believe that he said that...a honest and humble man which is rare these days in age. I highly recommend this place for anyone thinking of getting their cars or trucks diagnose and fix. It's a honest shop. read more

I called Inline Diesel after looking on the Internet for a repair shop that could replace the chassis batteries in my RV. I spoke with Bobby, the Manager who was very friendly and was able to squeeze me in on the same day. I met Chris, one of the mechanics who was able to replace the batteries and get me up and running in less than 30 minutes. I also met Jan in the front office who took care of the paperwork and payment. Everybody was friendly and customer-service oriented. I will be going back there with all my vehicles! read more

I live in Lodi and called for some advise on an issue with my 2002 Super Duty. The person that answered the phone(didn't get his name) was over the top helpful! I explained my issue to him and told him I'm not in Elk Grove. He listened to my issue and gave me some good, helpful advise. It's good to see shops that still seem to care about people and not the ole "you need to bring it by so we can have a look" on something that's pretty much black and white. Anyway, I just bought this diesel and as soon as it needs to go into a shop, I'll go the extra distance to let these guys do the work for sure! I've heard good things about them and just from a two minute phone call, I understand why. Thanks for your help Inline! read more

They just fixed my van. Amazing work guys and thank you all very much. I appreciate your honest and simplicity. This is the best shop if you want honest and reliable work. Thank you all very much read more

What a great place. Everyone there was very professional and efficient. They fixed my car right and did all the little extras and treated me as a person and friend. I don't know much about parts but they took the time to explain. What a great place read more

Owner retired and closed the business in August 2019. Sad. These were the best mechanics and nicest people to do business with. I'll miss them. read more

They are great, save bunch of money, by telling what to try before they worked on it , to save me money. instead of doing in and charging me. read more

My family has been going to these guys for over a decade. They are Family and treat us as such. Chris is the BEST car mechanic in all of Sacramento, if not California. I have driven my car to them, putting oil in ever 70 miles just because they are the only people I trust. They are fair, reasonable, and I recommend them to everyone. Chris and Bobby are family. You are a fool if you go anywhere else in Sacramento. read more

I just called to ask if they'd take a look at my car but they 'don't work on european cars.' And since i drive a 1982 volvo 240 with a diesel that means Inline Diesel is not my next regular shop. Despite the shops extensive experience the subtle intricacy of a continental machine is apparently beyond their mastery. read more

Brought my 2005 Ford Excursion to have a glow plug replaced to pass smog. The guys recommended the whole right bank and did a great job at a very reasonable price. Will not take my truck any where else. read more

Good old fashioned shop with great customer service and honest staff. I wouldn't hesitate do get my car worked on again here. Don't be fooled by the name, they do work on all cars, not just diesels. Thanks for fixing my car right the first time unlike a dealership I had trouble with before taking it to Inline. read more

This is a small local old diesel shop that does really good work. They do fleet work and work on individual's vehicles too. I think they work on cars and pickups that are not diesel too. read more

If I had been writing this after the first few repairs I would have given a 4 or 5 star review. Bobby and Chris seem like nice and reputable guys, and the reviews seemed to back it up. I liked the old school feel of the shop. However they have now tried to pass on TWO $5k+jobs that ended up being small fixes on my 6.0 F250. First one, they said I needed to replace ALL my fuel injectors. I said "All of them? Isn't it normally specified which injectors are failing?" Which I know to be the case because I had already had 2 replaced prior to coming to this shop. The response was something along the lines of "Not sure, but that's what the code says" or something like that. I got a 2nd opinion from a mobile mechanic and it ended up being an ICP sensor. Cost me less than $400. I called them and told them and they seemed surprised. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. 2nd Time, I took it to them with issues starting the truck. They said it was a high pressure oil pump and would be $5-6k. I towed it back to my house and had another mobile mechanic come take a second look at it. He charged my batteries, replaced the starter and the thing started and ran like a champ. Again about $400 to fix. They are either super shady and push huge jobs once you get to trust them OR they just don't know how to properly diagnose a 6.0 engine. Either way it's not good. The 2nd mobile mechanic I had used said shops use the bad rep of 6.0 to push huge jobs and pad their pockets. I'm pretty sure that's what was going on. 2 jobs that they tried to get me to pay 10 grand on, where fixed for $800. Enough said. read more

These Guys really know their stuff! We have a Dodge diesel and Honda cars they can do it all. Bobby or Cris take their time to explain what you need and any optional items without pressure to do it all now. read more
