Limped into Coalinga on a Sunday with a screw in a tire that we had to pump up with a kiddie bicycle hand pump. We were camping off the grid - no cell service - couldnt get the tire off to put on a spare - These guys could not have been nicer! Fixed the tire and got us back on the road in an hour with a lunch recommendation . Outstanding! And reasonable.

Albert and his staff are professional and caring. My transmission went out late on a Saturday (holiday weekend) needing a full replacement. Albert located a transmission quite a distance away and he went to get it and replaced the transmission quickly. My transfer case was cracked prior to my transmission going out and he also included the transfer case with the new transmission I AM SO GRATEFUL!In my bad situation he was so easy to work with and put up with me inquiring about it repeatedly during my short stay in Coalinga. Honestly there aren’t enough good things to be said about this business I am more than happy with the experience and quality work done.

We got a huge nail in our tire passing through town on our way home. They got us fixed and back on our way. Could have easily taken advantage of us, but the price was extremely reasonable! Super friendly!

TL;DR - This is a great shop with an honest owner. Dont hesitate to call.I bought a used Sprinter van in San Diego and the alternator gave out on I-5 on my way to Sacramento. I called this shop 5 minutes before they closed and explained what had happened, but told Albert Id call back tomorrow if I indeed needed a repair. The next day I called him back and learned he had taken the initiative to go ahead and order a new alternator the night before, so just in case I did need one, he would have it for me. If he hadnt have done this, I would have been stranded for another 24 hours minimum.The next morning I ended up getting towed from the highway into Coalinga for the repair, and as soon as the part arrived Albert had one of his guys switch over to my van so I could get back on the road as soon as possible.Albert gave me a great deal and was professional, courteous, and honest. A 5-star review is the very least I can do. Thanks Albert!

Albert and his team literally saved my dog’s life. We are driving from SF to SD and my AC broke. No way could I keep going in the heat of the day, I thought my poor dog would have a heart attack even with the windows open. They drove 2 hours round trip to get the part for my car, had to do some creative adjustments to make the part fit, fixed my AC, and got me back on the road same day. Super friendly and helpful. I can’t thank you enough!

Complete scum! Albert the owner sold me a car stating it had a new rebuilt engine. The engine went bad after two months. He laughed at me and told me it was my fault. He refused to refund me and told me I was on my own. Im a single mother with three kids on with a disability. Thanks to him Im without a car and my 2,600 dollars.

I called the repair shop for an emergency, Albert was on the way almost immediately. They fixed our issues and had us back on the road. I couldn’t ask for anymore than they delivered. Thank you for coming quickly.

Great place in town, to get full service on most vehicles, at decent prices, good troubleshooting, family oriented place, if time is a factor leave car there until work is done, small area to wait in. Or bring your favorite drink, or snack while you wait. I myself have had no issues with the service, or this place for the matter, sometimes however waiting is longer when lowstaffed, call first to check availability.

Horrible experience, horrible service, My father in law took his truck in for a new water pump, a thermostat, a coolant flush and change. He picked up the truck and couldn’t even make it out of town, it started to over heat! He took it back Albert said it needed a head gasket or possibly an engine swap. The truck only has 106,000 miles. I told him let me work on it. I am a good hands on man. First it had the wrong coolant, it’s supposed to be orange not green, it had gunk in the coolant, it was never flushed, the thermostat was put in backwards and was clogged in a lot gunk. I put in the new thermostat PROPER WAY, radiator, hoses and flushed the coolant, NOW the truck is running perfect. No issues at all. I don’t trust this shop at all. MONEY HUNGRY. When I went to O’Rileys for the parts I heard so many bad stores from 4 different workers there.

Installed a rebuilt transmission for me. Reasonable price. Discovered and fixed the cause of the check engine light (I didnt mention it to him ahead of time). Transmission is working great and the check engine light remains off. Car is working great!

I would recommend Albert at Coalinga Auto Repair Center. He was just amazing. I was there over Memorial Day weekend. I took my daughter to see my son in Law at the prison out there and when I came out to my car my check engine light was on. I was worried because I came from Nevada and wanted to make sure that my car was going to make it home ok Albert took very good care of my car and I had no problem getting home.

Took my car in after I botched a timing job. They flushed the radiator, installed a new one, and fixed my timing. However, the timing belt was over tensioned and now makes a whirring noise. On my drive to LA in the dead of the summer heat the AC also no longer functioned. The entire drive I also smelled burning radiator fluid. I got to an OReillys and opened my hood to see that radiator fluid had sprayed all over my engine. I bought a hose clamp and fixed that. They obviously had not test driven my car after fixing it. They fixed my AC after trying to worm out of it saying,it probably didnt work when you brought it in. Timing belt is still over tensioned. I would rather take it to another shop then allow them to work on my car again for a warranty. Dont waste your time and money, its not worth it.

Dont trust this guy with your vehicle. Took it in for a 60,000 mile service, told me he replaced fluids and that the brakes were fine. Now a couple months later (and minimal miles put on car) i find out from a second source that not only are my brakes worn down almost to the metal but that fluids that should have been replaced with the service look like they have been changed in years. Now i cant even trust that the service was ever performed. Hes a liar and a scammer. It is also extremely suspicious that he only takes cash.

I am thrilled with the service that I received from Albert at Coalinga Auto & Truck Diesel!My daughter was coming home from the Culinary Institute of America in Napa right before Christmas and I happened to be following her. We stopped at Harris Ranch for dinner which is our halfway point and when we came out her car would only drive 5 MPH. It was very late and dark and we were able to drive the car into a nearby Chevron station. I started making phone calls to local repair shops and was referred to Albert at Coalinga Auto & Truck Diesel.I spoke with Albert and he told me that AAA would be able to tow the vehicle to his shop where he would be able to diagnose the problem. I informed him that this is my college students vehicle and that funds were low. I sent him the keys to the vehicle in the mail and he made arrangements to have the vehicle picked up. Unfortunately he was unable to get AAA to tow the vehicle because the card was not physically there, Albert was nice enough to take it upon himself to have his tow truck retrieve the vehicle.Once he had the car I was informed that the car overheated and that he had to replace the thermostat and a sensor. I asked him how much it would be and he had given me an amazing deal! I authorized the repairs to be completed and arranged to come and pick up the vehicle. It took 4 hours to drive one way to pick up the vehicle. We got to the shop and Albert was hilarious and super friendly! He showed us the parts that he replaced which were in a horrible condition, and he had my daughter drive the car around the block so that she could feel how it handled. She said that the car felt very smooth in comparison to before the repairs. We drove the four hours back home after another delicious dinner at Harris Ranch Restaurant without any car problems!I would recommend Albert at Coalinga Auto & Truck Diesel to anyone! If I lived closer I would have him service and repair all of my vehicles.Thank you Albert, you ROCK!!

My buddy and I were on our way to L.A. yesterday (Friday night), strolling down the 5 and just our luck, the alternator went out. It’s super dark, we’re sitting off to the side, looking up a tow service. No luck, then of the few calls we made, someone recommends Coalinga Auto Repair. We call up and behold, Albert is on the other end! He was the only place that was still open at around 8:30/9pm. He was even willing to come meet us to try and help cuz we were in between exits (talk about customer service). Thankfully, CHP pulled up behind us and was helpful in giving us a jump to make sure it wasn’t the battery (thank you to the officer that helped us!!). We called up Albert and told him not to worry about coming to us cuz we were going to go to him. Met him shortly after, and he confirmed the alternator was the issue. Unfortunately, we were going to have to wait til the morning to get it fixed, so he recommended a place to eat (24hr taqueria) and a nearby good motel. First thing this morning, we were at his shop and before we knew it, we are on the road while I am writing this review. Albert, not only took care of the car, but he made sure we were taken care of as well! THANK YOU!!! You better believe we’ll come visit regard less of whether we have car trouble or not! :)

I was driving from LA back to San Francisco where I live and my check engine light came on. I immediately got off the highway and went to this mechanic because he is open on Sunday. I asked him to scan my computer to tell me whats wrong and why the light came on. He tried to charge me $85 and told me that seven codes came up. He tried to scare me by asking, Dont you want to know that youll get home safely? I was in disbelief-- I am a student stranded in an unknown town just trying to get home. $85 dollars to give me an explanation? No way, bud. I went down the street to AutoZone and they checked it for me for FREE. Turns out only one code came up and it was nothing vital that needed to be fixed for me to go home. I am taken aback by this mechanics lack of courtesy. I understand how (local) business works, but I didnt need anything fixed. He didnt even need to get his hands dirty for such a small thing. No compassion, just greed. Customer service is horrible.
