I am a owner operator and I have 5 trucks. Two of my trucks were in Columbia SC when one of them broke down at 3:00 in the morning. I had my driver ask for a good repair shop and they told him of two companies, I won t name the other business but the other one was Southern Diesel Repair. My driver called them and told them the problem he was having, they responded within an hour and had the problem fixed in no time. I was very pleased with the time frame and the pricing from this company. I have since set up an on going account with this company. I would highly recommend this company to all of my trucking friends. Thank You Very Much Southern Diesel!

This place charged me 8k to replace my valve train. After it leaked a month later I took it to a qualified shop that explained none of the parts were actually replaced. David McGee is the head scam artist. This place will rip you off!!!! Get ready to be taken advantage of!!
Well first of all thank you for your review. We are aware of your concerns and have made every attempt to satisfy this customer but to no prevail. We offered his old parts, offered to have the dealership look at his vehicle but he would not allow that, he insisted on taking his vehicle to his own backyard mechanic. When this customer came to pickup his vehicle he test drove and said that it ran better than it ever had. Due to the customer putting four cans of ether into his motor trying to start it after he ran it out of fuel we could not promise that he had not done internal damage to his motor. Since this problem was first brought to our attention and we explaned to him about the internal damage that may have been done we have not heard anything more from the customer.

this company serviced the alternator in my boyfriend's 98 ford in west columbia. they charged us $344 for an alternator. the car was finished in an hour and 15 minutes, but they charged us for 2.7 hours of labor according to their "flat rate" policy. labor was $60 an hour. that came to $162 just for the labor. all in all, we spent over $600 on one car part and a little over an hour of labor. after calling around to other mechanics in the area and statewide, we know we got ripped off big time. we are in the process of reporting this company to the BBB. however, the shop seems to have changed names several times and i wonder if this sort of activity--overcharging customers--might be why. needless to say, i do not recommend this company for any reason. they will take full advantage of you and charge you way more than anywhere else.
We do not recall having any complaints from this customer other wise we would have explaned to them that we go by book time not the time that it takes us and if we charged that much for an alternator then it had to come from the dealer. And if you add up what they are saying they were charged it would be 506.00 not 600.00. As far as changing our name we have never changed our name.
