They could have easily sold me on replacing my timing chain, gears and all the parts that it takes to rebuild that area but instead I was advised that it would be best to have the transmission checked out first before spending $2500 to $3000 with them. The car is only worth about $5000 so it wouldn't be worth spending all that money on it to then have the transmission break down on me and I would have to spend another 4-5K. Thank you for honesty!

So from my times here, I can say that the staff members have all been very attentive & easy to talk to, (ask questions) & knowledgeable. They all seem to work seamlessly together & be on the same page, which definitely seems to speed up any possible wait times. I am always pleased with how smooth and quick the process is and I'm back on my way again. Also, knowing that I won't be pressured into all the dreaded unknown upselling (I have always seemed to run into with a few other companies) puts my anxiety in check! I feel more comfortable & confident knowing they will be transparent & straight up in their findings & I won't be price gouged or told some bs, that will leave me feeling uneasy & unsure on my drive home. I would definitely recommend trying them out... whenever the "looking for a good mechanic" topic comes up, I drop my D&E chime in... okay, this is why I don't leave reviews (because being an over thinker is exhausting) it's a lot to read, but I usually won't take the time to do reviews... so if I do, it's been a standout good experience or the complete opposite. I am impressed with D&E & I hope it helps someone else out, if you find yourself one day, frantically flying through all the different auto repair companies on here, you just found one... call or drive over to check. Oh & I also really like & appreciate the technology they use... they send you text message updates and pictures with explanations of what all needs to be fixed as well as the rundown of the entire time spent looking over your vehicle and findings or not- it's PRETTY GREAT!

Another thing is bill and the other lady are very rude at the front desk and obviously the mechanic doesn't know what he's doing Would not recommend this place to anyone if I could give zero starts I would.

Day 1, Saturday, of a four week road trip, we drove from SoCal to Pleasanton, CA and heard a clicking sound coming from the rear end once we were off the freeway and could hear again. Since we were picking up our caravan partner and heading north, we needed to find a mechanic in NorCal, along our route and nearby. We used the VanAlert app (must have!) and found Westy World in Chico. I called the number (Saturday, remember?) to leave a hopeful message that they may be able to squeeze us in on Monday for a look-see. I couldn't leave a message because Brian answered! As we discussed the issue, Brian offered to stop-by Pleasanton on SUNDAY, after a nearby Van drop-off. We met at a roadside parking lot and Brian crawled under the van to find and definitively diagnose a broken axel. If this was the end of the story, I am sure you would agree that this is a once in a lifetime automotive and humanitarian experience. It has had such a profound impact on us that we use it as the measure of the Golden Rule - we try to treat others the way Brian treated us. But the story goes on. From the parking lot Brian rallied his team back in Chico to set up an appointment on Monday to repair our axel. We are pretty sure that Westy World was not keeping a time slot open for that Monday to address our emergency. So all the other projects must have been put on hold to make our emergency their emergency. As we agreed in the parking lot on Sunday, we covered the time and expense for Kyle to DRIVE FROM CHICO TO REDDING AND BACK on Monday morning to pick up the replacement axel. When we rolled into Chico Kyle jacked up our '87 GL and completed the repair before we could finish out lunch. Everyone was mellow, untroubled, kind and very knowledgeable. What a great mindset to calm us in our moment of flexing. After our trip we checked in with our local mechanic, who verified two things: the parts used (from Burley Motosports) were the best available, and Westy World charged us as though this was a regularly scheduled appointment - no emergency premium! It is an honor to have had this experience and to have Kyle and Brian in our world. Thank you both and everyone else at Westy World that was affected by our incursion.
