Murphy's saved our vacation! Our MB Sprinter RV broke down on the way to Yosemite, we had a kid and a newly adopted pound puppy, and it was hotter than heck! I called Murphy's (several times I might add) and Nicole picked up the phone each time and was as sweet as can be. This happened in the afternoon, by the time we were towed it was after hours, they stayed late to ensure they got our RV inspected and, in the queue, for service. Not only that, Nicole drove, out of control car sick puppy and all to the hotel. In the late morning the next day they had our RV up running and ready to go. Nicole came back and picked us all up too! They didn't have to do any of that, but they went above and beyond. They gave us a more than fair price for the work performed and we will not hesitate to take the RV to Murphys again. Its always a worry when things happen so far from home, thank goodness we found Murphy's, excellent workmanship, excellent customer service and fair pricing. read more

We were traveling through the area in our Sprinter van when we noticed the temperature rising going uphills. We went straight to Murphy's. Jeff & Andrew immediately helped, determining we had a faulty fan clutch. They couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. In this day and age, is hard to find a trusted mechanic especially while traveling in an unfamiliar town. Jeff has reaffirmed that there are still honest businesses & friendly service to be found. We are so grateful for their kindness. read more

We were traveling and a fuel line disconnected on our F250 truck. AAA towed us to this shop. The owner was very professional and took us in even though the shop was busy. Andrew diagnosed our issue and repaired the problem within 20 minutes. What a blessing to encounter this family business. And it was affordable. read more

I was out in the Desert riding my moto when the trans linkage in my Jeep went out. Called Murphy's and they said bring it over. Jeff immediately had his techs on the job. Dealer said two weeks for the part but Jeff found it and had me back on the road in no time. Great work, great service, reasonable price and super cool family running the place. Above and beyond for anyone needing help. THANK YOU MURPHY'S! Bruce B read more

If I could give 10 stars I would. Jeff went above and beyond for us. Our truck broke down on Hwy 58 in Tehatchapi at 4 in the afternoon. I called Murphys Diesel as they were closing and Jeff said to have the truck towed there and he would get on it first thing in the morning. He also let us park our Rv there as well. We were at the shop by about 8:30am. Fortunately he had the parts so we were back on the road by 10:30. We were so stressed and tired and he just made everything ok. read more

We had a last minute issue with our car come up late in the day. When I came in, it was 1/2 hour before they closed and they were able to fit us in and gave us a SUPER fair price. Totally saved our week! read more

I was over two thousand miles from home, no family or friends close enough for help. Two other local shops had either flat out would not help or wanted to sch well into the following week. It was Thursday morning shortly b4 lunch. I spoke to Jeff at Murphys and didn't promise anything,however he did say to come right over and he would at the very lease,take a look. Shortly thereafter,a diagnostic fee was charged,an estimate of additional work .by close of business a new splug,helicoil,ignition coil was installed. Jeff kept his word ,honored his estimate.His entire crew is top notch and you should call him if you need work done on your car. read more

I was In Tehachapi from out of town for some training, stopped by to see if they could help me with a grinding problem I've been chasing on my F250 for about 1.5 years now. They fit me in, worked with my schedule, checked over the truck and found an issue that a few other mechanics had looked right over. Sadly I wasn't here long enough for them to find and remedy the grinding issue, but I have no doubt if I had more time here they would be the ones to find it Great guys over there, would go back any day read more

No one likes to have something go wrong with their vehicle...its an unexpected expense no one wants. I had that unfortunate experience the other day. I live local, have been in the area for about 2 years and have never took my truck some place in Tehachapi for repair work. I took my chance with Murphy's and was not disappointed. I came in assuming I had one problem and they immediately put my truck in the air and pointed out I had numerous problems. Issues that were pretty serious. They walked me through and showed me the issues I was faced with. I watched Jeff (the owner) get on the phone and call for parts. I have never met the guy prior to this day. I listened to him and felt confident he truly knew what he was talking about. During our business in the office Jeff received a call of a motorist stranded on HWY 58...he immediately dispatched one of his employees to the motorist...prior to the employee leaving a previous customer called and had an issue with an RV. The customers RV was stranded somewhere... Jeff informed his employee to stop buy stranded guy on his way out and help him. That impressed me too. It showed me he valued his work and his customers. After agreeing on the work and price, I needed to bring my truck back the next day. It was an all day project. Well, I had no way of getting home. Jeff said he would take me home and pick me up. Wow! I have never heard of that! Now, not stating this is the norm and happens all the time but I felt very fortunate that the offer was made. Upon completion of the work, I was able to have a short conversation with Jeff and got to know him a little better. I think I found a local mechanic I can trust...and he has earned my future business for all my vehicles. My recommendation...If you are in need of vehicle repair, maybe stranded somewhere, traveling through the area and stuck on HWY 58, you are looking for an honest mechanic, you want someone working on your vehicle who values their customers and stands by their work... Give these guys a call and see what they can do for you. read more

These guys are fantastic and really went out of their way to help me when I was stranded. Highly recommended.

Murphys came to our rescue! We were traveling over the Tehachapi pass in our Gmc truck and travel trailer when we lost power and pulled over to the side of the hwy. Then the truck wouldn't start. Murphys was helpful on the phone and we had our vehicle towed to their shop. They squeezed us in the next day, identified the problem, and fixed the problem. We had literally just had the truck worked on in MorganHill the week before, supposedly fixing this same issue. Murphys knew exactly what was wrong with our diesel truck and put in a new bypass system (this model doesn't have a fuel pump). We were done in a day, able to stay at a nice park and get on the road the following day. By the way, the other diesel truck repair shop said they couldn't even see us for another 14 days! Thank you Murphys for your professionalism, in-depth knowledge, and consideration. It's never enjoyable to break down, but you all made it a great experience and we are confident about continuing our travels. read more

My husband hauls RVs out of Goshen IN and broke down near Rosamond CA. He thought for sure the engine blew since we have almost 600K miles on a 2012 Dodge 3500 dually. I actually drove from OH to pick him up. We thought the truck was a goner. We then got a recommendation to call Murphys in Tehachapi. I made the call and Jeff said he could fix it!! Off it went. Once there, Jeff made a quick diagnosis and the Turbo blew. We ordered a new Turbo and did some other maintenance since it was in the shop. Jeff and crew worked past closing time to get us back on the road ASAP. We had a 2200 mile drive back to OH. Ugh. They all did a great job. A very reliable shop that actually knows what the hell they are doing. I highly recommended Murphys Diesel for any diesel repairs. Thank you Jeff Murphy. We are rolling home finally. read more

Had my 6.7 f350 tuned and deleted in another state. The people that did the work did not do a great job. Bolts broken off in the manifold. So we ended up breaking down in Tehatchapee. Thank god we broke down near this town because we found this gem of a shop! These guys referred us to a tow truck driver, got him out there for us, and our truck over to their shop. It was a Sunday and they were not even working that day but they still answered their phone and came to the shop to get our truck and 5th wheel into their secure property with barbed wire fence all the way around it! Once they got to work on it Monday morning, they were fast, efficient, and cool dudes! Did not charge an unreasonable amount either! Excellent service! If I ever break down in Tehatchapee I know where I will go! read more

Had a strange vibration and shake on the front end of motor home. Jeff, and his team found the problem and had us back on the road in the same day. Front brake drums out of round... He has a staff of technical experts that made us feel confident about operating our rv. Then to top it off Jeff called me later in the evening just to make sure I liked how it was handling on the road. World class service! read more

Andrew did a great job inspecting an RV for me. I live in the Bay Area and am a first time RV owner so I wanted an expert to check out the rig to ensure it was safe to drive and identify any issues. Andrew did a thorough inspection and walked me through his process so that I felt comfortable in making the purchase. Thank you! read more

These guys know what the hell they're talking about. They will fix anything from your car to your semi truck. They will get your truck in the same day and get working on it almost unheard of in a trucking industry. read more

These guys saved us when we were headed on a family trip with our boat in tow! The mechanic was patient, personable, and really good at his job. The manager had excellent customer service. Their price was affordable. We highly recommend this business! read more

Well my story started back in July 2020 while going to the July Complex, I work on a Incident Management Team (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incident_management_team) while in route the truck wanted a new thermostat and clutch fan. MURPHY'S Diesel shop was closed on Sunday and aloud me to camp my RV at the shop so I could get repaired the next day! Thank you. After Numerous wildfires and 5000 miles of travel the truck made another request. Oct 30th with a blown head after returning from the RedSalmon Complex, Two other trucks effected before mine at the shop, so had to wait my turn. Both heads where rebuilt and bullet proofed. Nov 17th truck repaired and while doing a test drive the truck wanted a water pump. Clean bill of health... I drove the truck home and hour and a half and the truck got starved of fuel and got a New alternator and two fuel injectors. Nov 19 Newer bill of health. Thank you to the entire shop for my rebuilt F250 XLT 6.0 motor.. Still cheaper to repair than buying a new truck. read more

Murphys Diesel & Auto Repair - Auto Repair Near Me - Tehachapi, California

My son in law took my daughter's vehicle here to diagnose a problem, as they were recommended to do so by Carmax, believing the vehicle was still under warranty. He was told by the employee who processed his paperwork there would be a $300 diagnosis fee which Carmax would cover. As it turned out, the vehicle was no longer under warranty and my daughter and son in law were responsible for the $300 diagnosis (for a bad alternator). After some negotiations, they were so "generous" to drop the diagnosis fee to $200. Still WAY over industry standards for diagnosing a simple problem. It's companies like this who overcharge warranty and insurance providers that raise rates for everyone. read more

My husband and I drive a truck and unfortunately we broke down in Tehachapi, CA. We had to wait for a while on a tow truck but once we got to Murphys they got right on it. Although they gave it their best effort for a day and a half, the problem was out of their scope of ability. At the end they only charged us 4 hours labor and were completely honest about everything. They were very apologetic about their inability to fix the truck. They allowed us to leave our trailer at their shop while we were towed to KW in Bakersfield for further repairs. Also they carried us to motel and to run an errand which they didn't have to do. Nice folks. read more

We were traveling from Fresno ca to Kingman Az for my sons baseball tournament and two and a half hours in to our trip our radiator blew! Murphy's went beyond to make sure we got back on the road!!! We appreciate this family owned repair shop and are so happy they were the closest to us! Very blessed! Thank you guys again!!! read more

My Cadillac SRX broke down in the middle of an out of state move from San Francisco to Las Vegas on the Tehachapi canyon and I was referred to Jeff's shop. I called and he told me to have AAA tow me to his shop and he would get someone on it asap. My engine light was blinking and the engine died. Jeff and his team got to work right away for me and had the problem figured out very quickly. He even had 2 of his guys stay late to fix my SRX so I did not have to get a hotel and got back on the road tonight to get to Las Vegas. You guys ROCK! Highly recommend, extremely honest shop!! read more

My son purchased a 1996 Cummins Dodge RAM. On a trip coming up from Bakersfield to Tehachapi, the truck started spewing oil, taking roughly five quarts of oil to make it back up the mountain. Thanks to all the great Yelp reviews, we found Murphys Diesel Repair. It turns out that the tappit gasket had gone bad. During the process of repairing the gasket, they encountered a major problem with the fuel pump, which they professionally took care of. They went above and beyond to help us out. Jeff and his team fixed the problem and got my son back on the road. I'm so grateful that we have such an honest and knowledgeable diesel mechanic in our small town of Tehachapi. read more

I took my car to Jeff, no start condition. Him and his shop figured out the issue immediately. Answered every question I had about the process and the work being performed. He is very transparent about the problem and the fix. Had my car back to me when he said it would be. I have 10,000 miles on the repair without a single issue. I felt like I was priority when I was speaking with Jeff. This will be my go to diesel shop as long as I own my car. read more

We can't thank Jeff and Andrew enough for helping us fix our truck at the start of our vacation. They worked on a Sunday morning so that we could get back on the road, and helped us by phone the next day when we had a question. Amazing service and at a very reasonable price. read more

Having recently moved to the area I asked my neighbor who he would recommend for garage work. He recommended Murphys. He said they do good work but they are expensive. That was a fair assessment in my opinion. I did suffer from sticker shock when I saw the bill but in fairness my vehicle was in the shop from 8 am to 5 pm. The mechanic was late and instead of making me wait the owner started the work himself. Also I haven't used any other garages in tehachapi so my price comparison is what I could've got the work done in VA. Not a fair comparison because everything is higher in commiefornia. read more

My husband and I just started driving our RV back home on Sunday from visiting relatives in Tehachapi when our left brakes seized up. We called our brother in law and he told us to call Murphy's Diesel Auto repair. They have a 24 hour service and that they would take care of us. We called and spoke with Andrew who told us to get our RV towed to their repair shop and that they would take care of us first thing in the morning when the shop opened. And they did just that the next morning. Jeff Murphy was great about doing the right thing and figuring out exactly what the problem was. They were so great about getting our brakes repaired that day so we could get back on the road and get home. We truly appreciate Jeff taking care of us and the great work they did. We highly recommend Murphy's and so do our family members that live in Tehachapi as well. read more

Stopped in on Saturday, 9/22/18 about noon to get an estimate on work needed on my truck. I went into the shop, nobody there, rang service bell (which apparently didn't work). I yelled and a guy outside answered from across the back lot while he was talking with some friends. He saw me go in the shop but didn't say a word. When I told him I needed an estimate on repairs, from across the lot he said he'd be with me in a minute. Still chatting with his friends, I felt he was being rude so I decided to leave. As I started back to my truck he started for the shop. I told him "never mind". If he can't be bothered to help a customer, I can't be bothered to give him any work or my money. I don't know if this was the owner or not, never been there before. Thought I'd give him a shot. Won't get any future business from me. read more

Was really sad when Ken, the previous owner, left... But I have to say, his replacement couldn't hsve been better! His availability alone is priceless, people don't just have car trouble between 9-5 M-F! Especailly this girl! Not only that, but he genuinely cares about the yard dog (ferocious as she is, don't even cross her after hours or you will regret it!) & if he cares about the inherited dog, I realize hes just a caring guy! Hard to find now days, especailly! Thanks you guys! & that goes for you too, Rick!! :D read more

We went to murphys with an older car and they fixed our shifter, no problem !! Thanks for all the great speedy service and the phone calls to update us on the progress. Thanks the Allens read more

I've been a motorhead for years and have a fair knowledge about mechanics and diesels. Our motorhome lost power climbing the hill from Bakersfield ... at 9 at night. Jeff's top flight mechanic, Andrew, showed up at the Big 5 parking lot where we'd found a spot, and spent two hours in the cold and dark replacing two very cranky fuel filters. Turns out, while the nasty fuel filters were a problem, they'd caused much bigger problems. We ended up parking at Murphy's overnight. Jeff and Andrew got us in right away. Bad injectors, a major job, and not cheap. But I know costs and the kind of work necessary. When I pay lots of money, I know when I get full value. Five stars isn't enough for Jeff and Andrew. They give honesty, understanding, hard work and tremendous knowledge. After thinking about it, I'd have to say that, in more than 50 years of dealing with mechanics and shops, this one is the best. Not one of the best. The best. Our motorhome ran the rest of the way to Las Vegas like it never ran new. Hills that it would have climbed at 38, it climbed at 55 or more. Thanks, boys. We'll be back just to say hello. read more

I was taking a roadtrip when I started having horrible car problems. To compound the situation it was on a Sunday. When I called Murphys the owner came right over to the shop to help me out. I would highly recommend this business. The people running it are solid people that really care. They have excellent service and prices. Thank you! read more
