Engine repair service near Chatsworth, CA

I was a customer of A and D for many years. Having a mechanic you can trust is equally as important as having a good mechanic. I had my car serviced at GMC for the time I was still under warranty and yet they still would find ways to milk money out of me. I decided to go back to my trustworthy A and D because I trusted them to be honest with me and not try to charge me for services I didn't need or they didn't do. I throughly enjoyed Dave and his pups. He is one of the nicest, most genuine and knowledgeable people I have ever met. I say "was", because I have since moved away from the area. Trying to find a good mechanic in my new town has proven a tiresome process. I have yet to find anyone who even compares to the service I received at A and D. I still come to town to visit family and I still take my car to be serviced there while I am in town. I just hope nothing major goes on with my car because a tow ride to his shop 300 miles away would be an expensive one, but probably worth it.

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.

The best in the Valley, excellent customer service, the owner is so kind, he will take care of the customer and your car, when I need to do oil change (synthetic) I go to him, and for my tires I think I bought 3 sets of tires with him for a good price. He is the Man. -Mike D.

Robert and Ricardo went above and beyond my expectations. I wanted to compare the Yokohama and Nitto tires side by side in person so I asked if I can order both tires and decide from there. No problem with a big smile was the answer I got and they had both tires at the store within a couple of hours and installed them that same day. They drove me home and picked me up when it was all done. They had the lowest price in Valencia who had good performance tire brand and sizes I wanted in stock plus "REBATES". I went back the next day and purchased another set of Hankook tires and once again, I wasn't sure if I should get the V12 or S1s. So they ordered both for me again and I decided to go for the V12s. To be able to compare 4 sets of tires side by side and only buy 2 sets without a deposit is unheard of these days unless the shop is confident that they can sell anything and everything the customer wants to see. I will surely be back just for this reason alone. If you're picky and love premium hi-end performance tires, then this is the shop for you. They surely have all the good stuff and the shop is definitely capable. A lot of negative reviews here and yet people keep on coming. They're busy for a reason. So go figure. Don de los Reyes

First and foremost Sean is really good at fixing cars!! He knows his stuff. His way of explaining the mechanics makes me feel at ease because I can actually follow. Though his auto mechanical IQ is as strong as anybody else's, it's Sean's integrity and laid-back professionalism that sets him apart in his industry. Sean will NEVER make you feel like your being taken advantage of and He will always tell you the truth...always. Also, his prices are extremely reasonable. I have been using Sean for several years and will continue to do so. I recommend him to anyone.

I had backed into a curb and twisted my muffler. It was leaking exhaust and making quite a racket. The Tru-Line guys assessed the problem and got me same day over to a great muffler shop to get it fixed up. So technically they didn't repair it, but they diagnosed it and got me taken care of with a great muffler shop. Great service. Quick. I'd go back again.
