Driftwood Diesel

I Have taken my truck there 7 times now. So i like the work they do there. I dont feel like im always going into a diesel hot rod shop where you embarrassed if your not gonna drop 20k into a motor. Had a part go bad with 50k miles, they warrantied the part and there work, These guys are stand up guys that stand behind there work, and understand not every truck is a hot rod some work for a living. Chris and George have always done me and allot of customers right.

Had my 6.0 EGR Gone Through..Excellent Work ..Excellent price! Ty Chris and Staff

Well if you want your truck to leak more tranny fluid after you bring it in this is the place to go. Or not observing faulty pulleys. Just didn't feel like they were a serious facility. More of a hobby shop. For basic run thru of a vehicle and tranny service it took 3 weeks. I will not be returning.

Chris set up his shop in Buda over a year ago but I just found him a few months ago (work on that marketing Chris!). First he went the extra mile to swap out my AirDog for a FASS and did some things other shops would never do. I don't want to say exactly what he did because I don't want everyone asking him to go the similar things since it's not the type of thing he wants to offer as a service. On my second trip I had him adjust the valves my my 09' Ram 3500 and swap in a Red Head Steering box. He also fixed some wires in my door for the power window. A few other minor things were done as well. 2/21/14 was my third trip. My front engine cover had started to leak at the bottom. It looked like the repair was going to be $500 and a few days before he could get to it. I offered Chris some extra money if he was willing to interrupt his weekend plans for my 911 repair so I wouldn't miss out on any work. He went ahead and did the repair and the bill was only $300! Most shops would never backtrack on a repair that gets done way under budget but he did. Chris even did a few things to help me not end up stranded at his place while he fixed my truck. I don't want to say exactly what he did to help out because once again it's not a service he seeks to offer but he did it because I was in a bind. Chris was a Ford mechanic for years so not only does he know the Cummins, and Dmax motors but he's a Ford 6.0 & 6.4 Guru as well. It's hard to find an honest Diesel mechanic you can trust to work on your $10,000 engine. Chris had a 6.7 Cummins motor torn down to just a bare block in his shop that was his current project. Most shops in Austin will not do complete engine tear downs because it's more work then they care to do or can handle. Years ago I could not find a shop to rebuild my Ford 7.3 in all of Austin but now I know where to go if I need anything from a minor fix to a major tear down. Stay away from that expensive dealer and gas shops that have no business trying to work on Diesels. Go to Chris at Driftwood Diesel in Buda and he will get you taken care of. This is the first full service Diesel shop we have had in the south Austin/Buda/Kyle area since I moved here in 99'. This area was way past due for a guy like Chris to hang his shingle here.
