Twisted Metal Diesel & Automotive in
Salado (TX)

I took my motorhome in for an inspection which was done quickly. After sitting at the license office in Belton .for 30+ minutes I was told that it wasn’t in the system because it was listed as a Fiat. When I went back they wouldn’t do anything because they were closed for lunch. I guess they could see that I wasn’t going to make a third trip over there after we went round and round.They said I’d switched the plates, which is ridiculous. I don’t know when I’ve been treated so rudely. Yes, I interrupted lunch but I made a useless and time consuming trip to Belton, and was accused of switching plates.

Super kind “girls” (I’m older) who helped us. Didn’t look at the cost bc MAYBE saving a few dollars is not worth it. They took care of us and we will see them again. (Be sure to give some love their two, small, lovable dogs). Thank you Andrea, and the whole team!

Supposedly windshield wiper motor went out on 35 during a downpour, twisted's diagnosis. The wife had called this company and they said for us to stop over. Said they would put in a new wiper motor. Also replaced a (one) broken nylon bushing. They come in a kit of 3 to replace both sides and a connector. They only replaced the one 30 year old bushing. The other arm bushing broke in Livingston, Mt. Curiously, the new wiper motor they charged us for had the same scratch as the original. They seemed so nice. Makes me sick they would charge us all that money only to have to have it done again. The next place in Livingston did the same thing to us. We finally got all the bushings replaced in Fredericksburg. You get three in a kit for a couple bucks... why not do all three while everything is apart. Avoid this place. Took two years for the owners to view my original review. I forgot the name of the place or I would have changed the review long ago. Sorry I gave them 5 stars.

Twisted Metal has always been my go to place for oil changes and just about anything else for my car. They’re always professional, quick and reasonably priced.

This place really helped me out in a jam when I had a radiator/coolant system issue on my reefer box truck. The mechanic Andreas got right on my truck when I pulled in and was able to get the part I needed off another Freightliner box truck they had there on their lot. They charged a fair price and didn't try to take advantage of the situation like some places do. I was back on the road in about 2 hours.

Dealer parts, 5x faster. We have needed repairs on our diesel vehicles twice during the past few weeks - a window motor, windshield fluid reservoir and diesel fuel filter replacement. The repairs were much more affordable than the dealer, using the same parts and they were able to receive the parts and begin repairs much quicker than expected.

If I could give negative stars I would. Went there for an inspection on my 5th wheel and they refused to do it because it was raining. Never seen anything like that in my life. Guess people don't wanna work these days. I recommend you don't go here.

Don’t take your car here! I took my Cadillac there to have a suspension problem diagnosed. I told them it was making a noise when I turned. They told me I needed new wheel bearings.I paid over $500 and when I got it back it was still making the same noise. I had to call and make an appointment to bring it back so I did and left it there and they called and told me they didn’t hear any noises but that I was welcome to come back AGAIN and ride with the Mechanic. So I did that and he did say he heard it and then told me I needed my ball joints and strut coil replaced which was going to be another $3000. So it turns out I didn’t need the wheel bearings but they said I would eventually and that they weren’t going to refund me for replacing parts I didn’t even need. So I asked the lady who called me to put my keys back in the car and I was going to come pick it up because I wasn’t going to get the work done there and she said OK. When I got up there 10 minutes later they had closed and left it behind a locked gate. The least she could’ve done is told me over the phone to wait until the next day. So after making 5 trips over there to drop off and pick up my car and spending $500 I still had the same problem.

Great service. For some reason or another my a bolt on my left front brake caliper bracket went missing. I was up near baker for a long weekend and needed this part to drive home safely. They drove to me and got me what I needed.

What amazing people. We were stranded on I35 and they were able to help us out. A true God send. Thank you all so much the team at Twisted Metal Automotive .

TERRIBLE mechanic, their inspection service is SUPER subjective. It appears to be a power trip and not consistent with their checklists. Gives me the impression they are using this to drum up work. Charged over $1k for a Tx service that never worked, engine work that could have contributed to a blow motor. Recommend stay away or report to Texas Office of Attorney General if issues arise.

I asked for my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee to be looked over for problems and I was planning to pay for repairs, they came back with a 100$ charge for the inspection and said there is nothing wrong... transmission overheating, breaks make a pop sound, wheel is pulling to left, seals and gaskets across the car needed replaced to the point of leaks... many things missed or looked over for the 100$ charge

Office crew, were very nice. Will work up quotes 4 parts 4 my 08 truck in 48hrs.Iam Happy with their service.

I've been going there for State Inspection since I moved to the area;4yrs now Everyone is super friendly. I've even stopped by when I've had trouble with my car. They don't work on cars but they have looked at it and have told me which automotive shop could help.

Had a really great experience with Twisted Metal. I had a minor issue with my engine cover & they were able to help me immediately, resolve the issue within 30 minutes & did it at a super reasonable price! Will definitely be visiting again.

We have used them several times for our vehicles. They have always been honest and did the job right. Prices are great too so don’t worried about being overcharged. Update- we will not be going back ever again. Right after I posted this review my husband had to take his truck back in because they did fix the issue the first time, we were charged. The price kept changing and they kept giving us the run around about a part they needed. It was a 2015 GMC Sierra....not hard to get parts. They had our truck for a week and we had to keep calling to find out what was going on with truck. Horrible customer service and machinists. It still wasn’t fix completely but we just let it be. After that we will never go back again.

My husband and I came in because our car was making a weird noise. As soon as one of the mechanics heard it he said the noise was caused by an exhaust leak. They fixed it in a manner of no time. We were very pleased with their service. We Will never take any of our vehicles to another shop anymore.

I took my truck to twisted metal to get some parts color matched to my truck. Twisted metal went above and beyond my expectations, not just on the quality of their work, but also on how friendly and kind the staff is. Everything was completed in a timely manner, prices were also reasonable. I highly recommend this shop. Will be my one stop shop from now on.

These guys are a really good crowd they do really good work they do have multiple buissnesses running from one location so patience and understanding is good they are really good to active duty military personal such as myself the really helped me out i have had them do multiple things for me such as exhaust instalation, exhaust sensor, thermostate, oil cooler flush, oil cooler replacement, breather hose to rear axel, wheel speed sensor, oil change, fuel filter, intall new ford spec heads, turbo rebuild, and more they really helped me where they could as far as labor an guidence as well as knowledge because im no mechanic i will continue to use these guys an girls as my go to

I absolutely love this place! Everybody is very knowledgeable and welcoming. There's a great group of guys that work here that do awesome work. 10/10 would and always do recommend this shop to my friends and family in the area.

My Durango transmission went out on I-35. Ryan the Tow-man suggested I try their shop, since it was close by. Left my vehicle for the week while I finished my trip. The work was finished right when they said and it worked perfectly. The office girls are the best ones to contact for updates. They were a great help. The only drawback was their location in Salado. The car rental companies are in Temple and Killeen making a logistical problem to overcome. But, we were able to make it work using Hertz.

I went to twisted metal diesel some friends recommend me to go and get a oil change for my car. The coworkers were really nice and the manager came to make sure everything came out fine and yes great service thank you! Twisted metal diesel

I went in for an inspection today and apparently their internet was down. A girl I know went in for one on the same day and got hers done without an issue. I called right after she left and I was told "the internet is still down" The nerve.

the guys at Twisted metal aren't the kind that are in it to just make money, they do quality work for a fair price, I have had enough work done on my truck to know... there wealds are top notch solid work, and they don't over charge, charging me $500 for work that would cost 2-3k at other shops, they are bunch of good honest people.

You can't find a better place with better people. I recently bought a truck from them and they made it the best experience. The manager is a polite mannered man who gives you your undivided attention and the owner is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. I would recommend this place to anyone.

I recently purchased a truck from Twisted Metal. They were very helpful during this purchase and were not pushy at all. I plan to use them in the future for servicing and working on my other vehicles.

I drove from Michigan to look at a truck these guys had listed on clist and it was a flood truck. 20 hrs of driving they could have saved me by being honest. Shady business all 3 trucks they have for sale are garbage flood vehicles.
