Love the waiting area decor!

A hidden gem! I'm officially a raving fan of Red Label Auto & Diesel. Car repair usually makes me a bit anxious, but the moment I walked into Red Label, I felt completely at ease. The waiting area is unlike anything I've ever seen at an auto shop--funky, fun, and full of charm. Think vintage gas pumps, colorful old license plates, retro stools, and even old theater seating. It's clear that someone put real thought into making the space feel welcoming and unique. More importantly, the people were just as awesome as the decor. Everyone I interacted with was genuinely friendly and helpful. There was such a good energy in the shop--not only were they kind to me as a customer, but you could tell they also enjoy working with each other, which says a lot. I came in for an oil change and alignment and left with a great quote for rear brakes (which I know I need). And for the first time in my life, I'm actually looking forward to going back to a car repair shop! Huge thanks to America's Tire for recommending them when I needed an alignment--Red Label Auto & Diesel has absolutely earned my trust (and future business).

The 6 year old boss approves. She put the sticker given to me on her closet door. Check them out!

707 Diesel & Automotive Repair

(13 reviews)

Been using 707 for a couple of years. Believe it or not, I was originally referred by a dealer…read more They can work on practically anything on 4 wheels. They are the best. You cannot find a better mechanic anywhere. I have a Ram and have done many upgrades thanks to them. If you are having an emergency, they are there for you.

As a former Ford Dealership mechanic and race shop owner/builder, I rarely have work done by others…read moreand am particular when I do choose a shop, because the only reason I am bringing my auto into a shop is I don't have time to do it myself, due to my own volume of work and don't want to have to bring it back or do it myself. Tony and I spoke on the phone and he gave me a reasonable estimate and choice to use factory parts for my hub bearing on my 2003 Ford 7.3 Powerstroke diesel 4x4 and gave me a quick availability appointment. I had a number of referrals that spoke highly of his service and several were from other shops and ASE mechanics. Ironically, the one other time I had taken this truck was for it to get a pre-purchase assessment as diesels are not my specialty, so I took the truck to Red Label based on good referrals, but they missed that the brakes were almost metal to metal and the hub bearings on the way out at 154k miles, which later the medium bearing howl became a loud howl in just a few miles down the road. Those referrals to Red Label were accurate based on past experience when the owner and his core crew did the work but that has obviously changed the quality of service done in my experience and confirmed that with others who used to go there. Tony did the job on time, did better than the estimate and showed me the old hub so that I could see how the seal on the back side had dried out and let dirt and water foul the bearing and grease despite me lining it right after buying the truck, so it was a long time ago this issue started and is known to occur around 140-200k miles on this big, heavy work beasts. Unfortunately, due to the limited availability of Ford parts, Tony was only able to replace the driver side as none was available for the passenger side, in the Bay Area at that time. As I told Tony my chassis ears electronic sensors had just recently sided and I was awaiting new ones, so requested he do a diagnostic to pinpoint exactly where the bearing howl I could hear in the truck can was coming from, as chassis sounds bounce around and can sound like it coming from the left but is actually from the right. He confirms both front Bearing hubs were howling and the rear differential was howling also, (which I had hoped was just a pinion bearing and not the ring and pinion gears as that is $350 vs $3500). For the differential inspection (cover removal and back play measurement) Tony referred me to Jaws Gears in Sacramento, knowing so did not have the time or shop space to do it myself. That referral was spot on and also saved me from driving the truck any longer and taking a chance on a catastrophic on road failure that would have been much more expensive and a hassle! I spoke to the other mechanic about my Banks Monster package and Sinister aftermarket upgrades and found him very knowledgeable. I will be coming back as the mechanical knowledge of these trucks at this shop is well established, the price and accommodation of schedule are all excellent and I also am proud to support a independent and Veteran owned business!

Sit down kids, it's story time. I reached out to Eddie in early October with a laundry list of…read moremechanical issues I wanted to address with my truck I'd just purchased. I'd been dealing with shops who were trying to run up the bills and didn't care for their attitudes. My very first impression in dealing with Eddie, at this point I know was nothing short of heaven sent. I absolutely needed my truck to be fixed and up and running so that I could get to my very ill father. I set a budget and explained to him the situation. While I will keep our very near and dear conversation private, I will merely say this. The conversation we had made such a lasting and genuine impression on me that even to now, I cannot put into words. I dropped my truck off the very next day, gave him all the parts I had, and let him and his crew get to work. Eddie not only kept me updated on things he also was able to diagnose that the new gearbox I ordered was faulty, sent pictures and said he'd stand behind me if the company gave me any grief over it. In the meantime, he would order me a different one and just throw it in there so I could get going with no downtime. We finalized the bill; he sent it over and after putting the front end back together my power steering pump and hydro booster began leaking. You know what he did? He ate the cost and labor on those parts because he honored what his cost was when he sent the original bill. Think about that for a minute. The man ate the entire cost of two parts because he didn't want to change his quote due to no fault of his own. Ever heard of a mechanic doing that? I haven't, but it gets better. Grab the truck. Oops The alignment shop forgot to lock the steering wheel out when they aligned it and we were getting ready to head over and have them fix it. I noticed my AC was still blowing warm when it intermittently decides to go cold then hot. They'd already done an evac and recharge on it and it apparently decided it wasn't happy with it. Julian and Eddie start trying to trace and track for leaks with dye and didn't see any. Figured okay blend door actuator. The AC compressor on the spot grenaded itself on the spot Freon everywhere like we hit the G-spot singing Alice and Chains Nutshell on it's way out. All three of us stand there laughing saying wtf. So, I stand there thinking shit, gonna take a bit to get a compressor. Not 10 minutes later, here comes Orielly's with a brand new one, and Julian slaps ol girl in there with ease, recharged, and good to go. Colder than a witches tit in a brass bra now. By now, the alignment shop is closed so he asks me to swing back by Tuesday, no sweat. On my way I go. I get about 30 minutes down the road, felt a shudder, battery light pops and no power steering, "shit there goes the new belt". Yep, pulley on the new pump slipped and went for a walk like a blindman with no cane. The pulley is my fault, I tried to cut corners, and they put the original back on. Mind you at this time, Eddies shop is closed and he made his way to a family function. I sent a text just to let him know what was going on, not expecting anything. He immediately responds saying Julian on his way, sit tight. Julian, lemme tell you. This kid is as solid as they come. Just a solid person. Don't let his age fool you, kid knows his shit but stays humble. He made a call to Eddie told him what he needed and motion is set. Keep in mind Eddie is at a family function and ready to have a relaxing weekend. Julian starts parts to make room. An hour later, Eddie not only left his family function, he drove two hours roundtrip to get the pulley I needed from the only Orielly around who had it. He shows up, and they get it put back together. Know what they charged me for their time, roadside and Pulley? Nothing. This shop and the people who work here are some of the best human beings I've met. I'd trust them with a newborn baby with a soft spot on its head. If you read otherwise, those are just assholes looking for the world to do them a favor while being assholes. They usually drive Corvettes. Customer for life. Btw, we all agree my truck is cursed, so if you're in the market for a 2004.5 GMC Sierra 2500HD with a new front end, and pulleys, holla at ya boy.

Eddie is the man with the plan. Straight forward with quality service. Best in the area.read more

I was looking to buy a newer used car and wanted to get it checked out before I made the purchase…read more I called Nestor and he said they could check it out to make sure it was a good buy. After they looked over it, they gave me the green light and I bought a used reliable car but I definitely felt peace of mind having Vaca Valley Auto Care look at it in depth. I have been driving this car for a year now and it's still running great! Recently, this car's dashboard lights were on so I brought it in to be serviced for an oil change, new spark plugs and a tire rotation. I had a couple hours before I needed to be at work and when I told them my time frame, they had it done early! I was impressed and they had my car running great again! I sat in the waiting room and watched customers come in that new the shop employees by name and they held conversations like they were old friends catching up. I watched a guy bring in his car because he was going on a road trip and they made sure his car was running good before he took it across the states. Vaca valley auto care will point out services that are needed if they find them but they always give their customers an option to do the service or not and they will tell you how long you can go if you are not ready to fix the problem yet. I have always found them to be honest, hard working men that live up to their name of caring for their customers. This is the kind of place you want your money to go to! A local shop and a local family!
