Left Coast Diesel

"These guys are the closest to me and that's why I used them. Found out I was over charged quite a bit just because I was desperate. Not cool."

"I had a small fuel leak , they charged me $520 to change a fuel filter , what a rip off"

"I recently bought a 2001 ram 2500 4x4 that needed a bunch of things sorted out to get it running correctly. I did some research and spoke with friends and all roads pointed to LCD as the place that knows these trucks best. First order of business was having them install a FASS lift pump, which they did a really good job on. They mounted it well above the bottom of the frame rail so it will be protected in-off road situations. They also managed to source a really nice Fleece sending unit to work with the FASS, and at a great price. Next, the steering was extremely sloppy and they recommended we replace the track bar and several other connections in the steering linkage with Moog components, since they have a lifetime warranty and are greasable. I really like that they didn’t try to upsell me on some of the fancier front end components available for these 2nd gens - you can go overboard pretty quickly and the overbuilt parts can put too much stress on the surrounding parts and things will break. The truck has very little play now and I couldn’t be happier with how it steers and handles. After that they tackled a gear-hunting issue I was seeing from 3rd / 4th on the auto transmission. They found oil-saturated electrical components on the transmission during the service and were 100% confident it was causing the issue. Sure enough, after replacing those parts the shifting issue is completely resolved. After that, they fixed a small diesel leak near the injection pump and changed fluids in the diffs and transfer case. Now the truck runs like new and is ready for anything. Even though LCD is nowhere near where I live, I will not hesitate to take my truck back there for whatever it needs in the future. Many shops in the Bay Area claim they know how to service a cummins (or any other diesel), but after making several calls and speaking with many mechanics, I didn’t get the feeling that everyone is as familiar with these trucks as they claim to be. But after 1 minute on the phone with Ross at I knew it was the right place. Thanks guys!"

"Glad I took my truck somewhere else after looking at their estimate. They told me it would be between 4000 and 6000 to fix a sound coming from the front end of my truck. The price for the parts they quoted were at least double the cost of what I could find online for the exact same part. To make things much worse, their estimate included new front axle u joints, which after pulling apart and inspecting elsewhere, turned out to be just fine! The problem was actually just a bad wheel bearing, WHICH THEY DIDNT EVEN INCLUDE ON THE ESTIMATE! I will avoid this place at all costs and you might want to consider the same."

"I used this shop about a month and a half ago to replace my exhaust manifold. They were priced fair, did an amazing job, and got me in an out very quickly. I highly recommend them."
