Walnut Creek Auto Repair

My elder mom needed an oil change. She took the van to a different shop got the oil change done and was told she needed a rack and pinion and would be an around 1200. I told her, don’t do it. Let’s get a 2nd opinion because I didn’t think it’s bad. We Had Diablo Auto inspect the van. Very professional, After the inspection you get an estimate on everything they find wrong from something as little as license plate light to something major in the suspension. With a picture showing you and confirming the issues. With us, they found nothing wrong with the rack and pinion, they found cv axle boot worn/cut and seal leaking recommend replacing both for half the cost of the other shop rack and pinion job. They found other minor issues that we’ll take care of them later. Honesty from this shop, we are definitely using this shop moving forward. Didn’t use the finance option but looks like a great option just because everything in automotive is so expensive now.

Would recommend to all

Took care of my truck a lot faster than I expected.May have even rectified a few related issues.Truck is tracking as good as ever. I couldn’t be happier. Jon pointed out some maintenance projects so I’ll be back. Thanks for everything, Rick

I’ve been a customer for several years and have always been impressed by their friendly and professional service. Easy to schedule and work done well and promptly.

Jon and the crew at Diablo Auto Specialists to the rescue again! I was genuinely surprised when I picked up my Honda Odyssey today after having my alternator replaced and Jon informed me that there would be no charge (even for installation) because the old one was still under warranty. How wonderful it is to have a mechanic you can trust!

I just recently met Jon because my usual place couldn't get to me. We got off to a good start, we both have a lot of experience working on cars so he knows that I know a lot about car repairs...... but so far, all is great. They haven't preformed any work yet, but have been very accommodating so far. It'll work out for at lest one reason, Jon laughs at my crazy jokes. Stay tuned!!

Again, Jon and now Jose have come through for me. Even though I always have to GPS to their location (it’s hidden behind Kelly Moore) I never fail to have the best experience. They are both so knowledgeable and caring that you understand what is going on with your car. It is so amazing to have an auto mechanic actually communicates!

Staff is very friendly, and they will keep you informed every step of the way.

As stated in a previous review, I brought my elderly Jeep in with multiple issues. A thorough inspection was done and with Jon’s guidance, the most critical issues were corrected. I now feel confident that my Jeep still has miles left in her.

Yesterday, I needed new wiper blades. I went over to Napa auto parts or they shockingly told me it would be $64 plus tax. I know I have never paid that before so I gave John a call, who by the way service is my car which is a Honda CRV. He quoted me $40 and said it happened in a few hours and I said I’d be back in the morning and sure enough he called me yesterday late afternoon had them went by today had them put on by him and it was less than $40 with tax. It was $36 and change. Could not have asked for better service.
