Walnut Creek Auto Repair

Tim and Paul were very helpful when our only vehicle wasn't running well. The price was fair and the work well done. More importantly, my wife, who dropped off and picked up the vehicle, was treated well this is extremely important to her and I, then to top it off, we received a Thank You card from Tim. We'd definitely go to Diablo Auto Specialists again.

Amazing customer service...I wouldn't take my Explorer anywhere else! The entire staff is friendly, thorough and honest. Thank you Diablo Auto Specialists!

Paul, Tim and the team are awesome! I had to get a pre-purchase inspection done on a used car and they went gave me way more than just an inspection report. They took a little longer than expected but I am glad they took the time to thoroughly inspect the car.

Staff was very helpful.Three thumbs up :

THANK YOU YELP! : My car's check engine light had been on for three weeks now, and while I found myself growing increasingly anxious about that little orange light... I did nothing about it. Then one day on the drive home from work, my back wheel started to make this grinding noise on the freeway. A very annoying high pitched grinding noise that started to grate on my nerves. But, what did I do about it? Hope it would go away on it's own. These are the classic symptoms of a girl driver. This went on for a few weeks, until one night, when I awoke at four in the morning drenched in sweat. I had just had the most horrific, vivid, and scary death dream I've ever experienced in my life. No lies. I decided to take it as a sign that it was about time to get my car checked out. I obviously wasn't going back to sleep after a dream like that, so I hopped on yelp to research an auto repair shop in the area. Diablo Auto Specialist was the highest rated, and for very good reason. I called right when they opened at 7:30am and even without an appointment they took my car in for diagnostics. Tim called me later that afternoon to tell me what was wrong with my car. I went to go pick it up, and he thoroughly explained everything to me. Everything from process, to cost, to possible scenarios if I didn't fix everything all at one time. He was very patient with me, answered all my questions and knew what he talking about. I booked an appointment and brought my car back in. As promised, they fixed it in about half a day, and I'm good to go now. No more death dreams for this girl!! I am now a loyal DAS customer, I guess you could call them my heros! Thanks guys!! :

This is my first time here at Diablo Auto Specialists, and I was treated very professionally. The service was just for an oil change, and just the basic questions asked; no gimmicks or packages for specific vehicles unlike the dealership across the street you know who you are. Even the estimated price of the work was far lower than what I expected. They called me when my car was done; I went in, paid for the service, and went on my way. I'm definitely taking my car back here again.

How many mechanics will you ever find with a perfect rating?Here's something you won't see too much in your life: an honest mechanic. This guy is absolutely wonderful. He was recommended to me by someone at work. I've been there twice. I've recommended lots of people and they say he's great.This last time I had a loose alternator belt. I know nothing about cars. I have to take my car in to have the floor mats rotated. I was expecting to pay a few hundred bucks. I call to find out the damage and he says Oh no, we're not charging you anything. We tightened it back up - no big deal. Wow. I would have gladly paid labor or something. I've taken my car in a few times now. I know I won't get cheated or lied to here, so I have compete faith in these folks.If you're looking for an honest mechanic, this is the guy. If your automobile-illiterate like me, you need a mechanic like this. In this day and age of rip-off artists, high charging dealers and scammers, how nice is it there is still an honest mechanic out there? It's nice there is a venue like Yelp to get the word out. This guy deserves your business.

I found out about this place on Yelp. I can now say that this website is a godsend. Restaurants, bars. . .sure, but when you need to find a good mechanic, that may be the most important decision you make with your wallet.Tim, the owner, comes across honest and forthright. His write-up shows you every detail and every cost. Decent price, excellent customer service and most important. . . straightforward in every aspect. You may have a lifer out of me.

I had a wonderful experience at Diablo Auto Specialists. I was in need of a new auto mechanic, and I found out about this auto repair shop on yelp. I shopped around for various quotes for replacing my car's brake pads, and their prices seemed fair. I received excellent service, and I really got the impression that they were honest folks. They performed the job well, and I will definitely go back to Diablo Auto Specialists for future needs.

I used this shop two times in the last 3-5 years. Both times I was really impressed by first-class service, great explanations, straightforward actions and even cost deductions as applicable. For example, they ran a diagnostic test, but charged me only for a portion of it because it discovered a problem early on. How many shops will do that? Moderate pricing for first-class service.
