Southern Diesel and Automotive 227 County Road 491, Lake Panasoffkee, FL 33538

"Southern Diesel has always been up-front and honest about scheduling my appointments, the repair estimates and any immediate repairs or safety concerns to be considered while my Ford F350 was up on their lift. Being a 'shade tree' mechanic, I understood, and agreed with additional work brought to my attention. The mechanics treat customers vehicles as if they were their own. In other words, no short cuts taken. It's comforting to know there's a repair shop out there that won't 'up-sell' work needlessly, or gouge you to their advantage."

"These guys are the real deal. And worth the 1 hour drive. Was at 2 other shops, Spent $2800 between the 2 and they were just guessing . never fixed the problem. Thank you Southern diesel for outstanding service!"

"Great follow through and follow up after getting my 7.3 f350 back The replaced my oil cooler . And seemed to keep costs down for me ."

"You guys I must say hands down to southern diesel! As I was traveling my car gave out unfortunately, once I found a tow service in the area as I must say hands down to the tow guy John as well who recommended this shop I had no clue what to expect. Got there and the guys were great very welcoming, professional pretty chill place they jumped right on the job without hesitation was very knowledgeable of what the problem was just by me explaining pretty impressive. Service was great communication wonderful and fast service my car is running great and I was able to commute back home without any issues I would use again."

"I paid them $13k to rebuild the motor in my Dodge after an injector stuck open and melted a piston. I took it back to them because it was consuming oil. I also asked them several times to go over the whole truck because I needed it to pass the DOT inspection. It did not pass the DOT inspection and I had to take it back to them. Also they said it needed a turbo. I had a turbo put on it. Then a valve dropped and I had to have it towed home from Maryland. After admitting they sent the block to the machine shop but not the head, they said it would be $4k to fix my truck. I've spoken with Mike and Dustin. They do not care that they have ruined my business. My truck was my lively hood. Dustin also said he would call me back and I never heard from him again. They knew I used my truck for work and still choose not to do the repair correctly."
