Auto repair service near Blue Cross, CA

Dear Steve Italiano a.k.a. “Diesel Vehicle Service” I have been serving the city of Simi Valley and surrounding cities, in German auto repair, for the past 25 years. In that time I have built great relationships with all of my customers and earned their loyalty and trust. Not sure why you have chosen to go on the public forum “Google Business” and others and fabricate a story about your experience at my business? You did recently visit my shop twice. Once on 8/28/15 and again on 09/23/15 to drop off your 2003 Mercedes Benz 300D for services. I did not work on a Diesel CDI Mercedes wagon as you claim and did not perform the services you stated in your review. On your first visit you claimed your car would not shut off. We performed a diagnostic on the vacuum system, installed new vacuum elements, replaced 5 injector hoses, and performed a rear brake service and oil change. On your second visit you ordered all of your own parts and had them delivered directly to my shop, via UPS. I performed only labor on your vehicle which did not include replacing any injectors as you state. You picked up your car on Saturday 9/26/15 at 1:30 in the afternoon. I have the parts list and both service invoices from my shop to prove which services where done. You seemed very happy with the service my shop provided, you were smiling and you even shook my hand which I have all on my surveillance video. You then state in your review that you took your car to the Mercedes dealer and claimed I did not perform the work stated. That would be impossible since you posted your car for sale on Craigslist and Ebay on Sunday 9/27/15 (the very next day); the same day you wrote this fabricated review. Again I have proof and copies of both ads. You then went a step further and proceeded to write slanderous reviews about my business on Google Business using various aliases, i.e.: Beverly Hills Guy, John Gonham and Guy Fieri and posted a fabricated review on the MB World Forum under user name “BobC63”. You also proceeded to write slanderous reviews on my wife’s YELP work page, my dad’s YELP and Google work pages and my IT guys Yelp work page that are all completely false. I have filed a police report with the Simi Valley Police Department for the threats made in your review about impersonating me on the phone, canceling my insurance policy on my business and leveling my building. If anyone reads your 112 reviews on Yelp alone they will realize the type of person you are. You prey on other innocent businesses across the country, CA, PA and NJ, by writing bad reviews on YELP and GOOGLE. I know this because I have talked too many of them personally on the phone as well. You write racist remarks, use lewd language, make numerous threats and make many false accusations. Mr. Italiano, defamation and libel are illegal and punishable by law. The right way to resolve an issue with any business is to speak with the business owner and voice your concerns. Give them the chance to make things right before bashing them on the internet.

Excellent mechanic shop I finally found to take my Sprinter Vans for service in Los Angeles Much better than dealerships. Nice people, expertise work, convenient location, fair price. No Wonder that they have so many cutomers

Still dealing with this nightmare. Eddie lied about everything with the car. Disaster. New head gaskets, new brakes, new water pump, new catalytic converter, new sensors Check engine light came on, horrible metel squeaking noise from wheels from the botched brake job he did. ALL WITHIN WEEKS OF PURCHASE. RUN AWAY FROM THIS DEALER. We stupidly ignored the warning signs and red flags, he even brought his kid along and said "I'm just trying to feed my kid" when we tried to negotiate on price. We made several trips to him, he acted like each meeting was a huge problem for him. He was reluctant to have us have a mechanic look at the car first. He wouldn't make time for us to have a complete review of the car. He promised things were in order and we begged him to be upfront with us as this was a huge purchase for us. WARNING He said his "people" just did the brakes. When we brought the car into our mechanic they all had to be replaced and there were missing parts! There were parts that were missing from the reassembly. Also he said his "people" painted part of the car and they didn't put the doors back on correctly so they vibrated and rattled non stop. We have been to the mechanic over 6 times - adding THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS REPAIRING the car we bought. It's been a horrible year because of his lies and cheating people. Overcharged us for the registration, misspelled info so all paperwork had to be redone ( our cost and time) nothing went well, he rips people off.

Staff was helpful and did not try to haggle me with ridiculous prices or false claims. Once I was going to be late for work with two flat tires. Luckily I was close to this place and they were willing to take me in. Once the repair and rotation of the tires were done, I was charged nothing! That's right nothing, I couldn't believe it. If you are in need of maintenance I recommend you check these guys out. Henry Sanchez

had work done said they could do it went back said they can't now and had price bumped way to high over charged for work waste of time had someone else do it you will get ripped off

This is the LEAST trusted dealership you will ever encounter. Promises never kept, quotes never honored, NEVER return phone calls. WARNING - don't say I never warn you.
