I was driving from Florida to Massachusetts in my diesel van when the check engine light came on in the engine started skipping. I pulled over and started looking for a local garage to help me. Southern Diesel looked like the shop I needed.Being far from home, I was nervous about not knowing what to expect.I was pleasantly surprised by this family, run business and their ability to diagnose and take care of my problem quickly and ver reasonably priced.Right off of Route 95 with plenty of restaurants nearby It was actually a pleasant experience.If you’re having problems and you’re a local Or if you are just passing through, I have nothing but good things to say about this place. I plan on visiting them on my next trip to Florida to have them do some Additional scheduled work.

Our 2011 GMC dually was having severe DEF issues. Called the local GM dealership they wouldn't work on it because it was over 10 years old. Google searched diesel repair shops & Southern Diesel came up. Read the reviews on line & called for an appointment that was October 12th, brought it to them on October 19th, they diagnosed the problem & ordered the parts ,due to GM being on strike they had to wait for the parts. As promised by Robert that as soon as he had the parts we'd have our truck that afternoon. True to his word it was done & running like new. We highly recommend Southern Diesel to anyone needing repairs. Robert we can't thank you enough for getting us back on the road so we could get home.

I can’t think southern diesel and the crew for doing such an amazing job on my 2003 F250 and they are very honest and take pride in their work and would highly recommend them for any and all your diesel needs

I am in SW Florida and will only deal with them when major repairs are needed. They are so dailed in on all Diesel engines you can't even question it

Houston is wonderful to work with. Very knowledgeable and always willing to help. . He has work on my truck as well as guided me through a fuel issue avoiding a tow and mechanic bill. Having trouble with your diesel give Houston and his team a call you won’t regret it. Southern hospitality at its finest.

Houston has worked on a couple of my trucks. Most recently my 2016 F250. I contacted him, explaining what was going on with it. He took the time to troubleshoot some stuff over the phone. (I live in Fl.) I brought it to Southern Diesel the following work day. (3 hour trip) He looked at it. He knew what it needed. Furthermore he discovered some other issues that I was not aware of, which would have been catastrophic if he didn't catch it. They do their homework on these diesel motors, getting the job done right the first time. I am extremely happy and grateful I took my truck to them, knowing when I get it back it will be fixed properly the first time. These guys are hands down the best shop I've dealt with. I highly recommend these guys to anyone that owns a diesel truck, that needs work.

Robert is amazing, responsive and professional. We pulled into Brunswick Georgia and had no shore power. He fixed us up quickly. Very thankful to have found Robert. Call him, you won’t be sorry.

Traveling through GA in our RV and was slowing down. Our engine would have been ruined. This business and the guys there were awesome. They were about to close for the long weekend but stayed to help us. Can't say enough good things about Houston. Very knowledgeable.

I have a 2018, Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and while in town for work had an issue that three other shops could not help me out with in a timely manner. I brought my truck over to Southern diesel and they had it diagnosed and fixed within 24 hours. They understood my situation with needing to head back home as quick as possible and help me out when I was in a bind I would recommend the shop to anyone, also they were very personable. Thanks again to Robert and the team at Southern diesel.

We ended up blowing a transmission in a rest area while towing a 40 ft 5th wheel. We called Southern Diesel per recommendation from Google - shot in the dark. Robert was VERY responsive and facilitated 2 tow trucks coming to our aid. J&M Towing (driver Mike) was there within an hour and towed truck. A&J Towing (driver Al) did a remarkable job towing rv and set it perfectly on the site at nearby campground (which Robert was also able to recommend). Robert and Houston have conveyed complete competence, empathy for our situation, as well as complete knowledge of what needed to be done. We called Southern Diesel knowing nothing about this business, but I would HIGHLY recommend Robert and his team to anyone needing mechanic services - they are #1!!UPDATE: Our transmission was replaced quicker than expected (YEAH) but the pickup/payment experience was HORRIBLE. Although owner had previously accepted and processed a check for $9,000 (which cleared with no problem) he refused to accept check for balance - even had bank rep on phone who verified balance and offered to provide a letter to the effect. Owner refused to take credit card even though it was offered to cover any fees Southern Diesel would incurr. Owner put our truck key in his pocket, sat down at his desk and said 'I don't know what to tell ya' - cash only. Being a rver, with no transportation, from out of state, there were no choices. Owner drove me to his bank where I was forced to get a cash advance on my credit card, which I had no clue, and it cost me an additional $100. Mechanical aspect seems good, but whole experience was EXTREMELY stressful. Beware travelers, especially seniors who can be intimated and may be vulnerable to health issues.

Had a breakdown on the way to Key West on the Sept long weekend. Chances of getting help were slim and none. Called Southern Diesel and caught them in the shop on a Sat. Arranged to bring the truck in first thing Tues morning. The guys were awesome. Didn’t give me any stories. Diagnosed the problems Estimate was fair and honest. Repairs were done on time and truck runs better than ever. Great job. Would recommend them in a heartbeat. Thanks so much. Colin
