Comment: This place Rocks!The service manager, Adam Stratton does everything he can to keep my truck on the road. He knows how important the bottom line is to me and always treats me fairly when it comes time to settle the bill.The shop foreman, Adam Frost is like a walking encyclopedia. I cant count the hours of time or cost he has saved me with his experience.The technicians know what theyre doing and they get it done. They are all top notch.Ive been a customer for years now. I can say without any reservations that this is the best dealership shop in San Diego County and decided it was time to give them their due with a review.Stop in and check them out. Theyll take care of your truck and treat you fairly.

Comment: So Inland Kenworth in Fontana left me with the opinion that Id never do business with any Inland again because of a sales incident in 2020. And until I was left with no choice in April of 2024, I had not given any Inland Kenworth one red cent. But when you are under a load, have a Paccar engine, and the only other shop around is telling you it will take a week to even be seen, and the Inland location in El Cajon is saying the can at least plug into your truck and see why you have both check engine lights, you tend to reevaluate your situation. Turns out, I made a wise choice going there. Not only did they do exactly what they said they would, they repaired my issue THE NEXT DAY! Less than 24 hours after initially showing up, I was back on the road. Thats what I like to call doing me a solid. I will not hesitate to go back to them again. I might even be willing to try other Inland locations now...all because the service department at the El Cajon location is on top of their game, at least a far as Im concerned.

Comment: Very Professional! Excellent service. Matt and Lewis at the service desk were super nice. Was able to get back my truck in three days while I was expecting to wait for a while, and to a surprise I paid less than what I was told at first day. I wish other dealers learn something from El Cajon inland KW. I definitely recommend 100%.

Comment: Service depart is one of the worst. They doubled the labor rate once I questioned any of the work they wanted to perform. They will charge FULL estimated even if they dont performed it. THAT MEANS for any driver, if they estimate 10 hours and it takes 2 they will charge you full 10 hours. $217 per hour of work NOT PERFORMED! When you ask before the work is started how you think it wont take 10 hours they say its only a estimate yet they will still over charge you. STAY AWAY! Ask about it after they say you agreed to estimate. See how they scam drivers!

Comment: I brought my tractor in for service, I was expecting to be waiting for awhile but to my surprised my tractor was done in just two days. Unlike other dealerships including other shops. I usually had to wait one to two weeks for the technician to work on my tractor. I will definitely refer other drivers to come to El Cajon Kenworth. The staff at counter were very helpful every time I’m there. Thank you so much for that.

Comment: Just wanted to leave a review on my experience with this shop, first off, BIG UPS to Nate and the beautiful young lady at the servicedesk, They were super nice!! Ive been to many shops and I must say these guys actually cared about my situation, the shop techs were very knowledgeable, guys I thought I was having after treatment issues and anyone in Trucking knows that any shop could have agreed with me and charged me, but they were very honest and knowledgeable, after troubleshooting,the issue was nothing serious at all, they had me back on the road in no time!!! Great shop for repairs, FYI, cant bring your trailer no room for that. Bobtail only. Thnx for every thing GUYS!!!

Comment: Talk about outstanding! Before our truck even got there in the tow truck we felt better. The service dept. is open and honest. They got our truck in the next morning had it diagnosed, had Dana contacted and had the warranty warranty work authorized the next day. Communication for me is key and they kept us up to date all through the repair process. I give them 10 starts.

Comment: Great customer service! However, if you plan to visit this location it would be advisable to find a place to drop your trailer first then bobtail over there. The parking lot is really small and at the time I visited there were several trucks filling up the lot. I had no choice but to back my truck and trailer out of the lot and into the street to leave. The traffic light at this intersection is very short for traffic coming out of Kenworth.

Comment: I was there To get a leaky Axle fixed. I was helped by Mike legacy In parts and another gentleman whos name I didnt catch, They were both super helpful. I got there on a Saturday so the service department was closed and they wouldnt be able to do warranty work till Monday anyway. They both went through all the different options I had to get me on the road quicker. Mike legacy actually got on the phone and found a shop That could do the work that same day. He made sure I didnt pay for anything I didnt need as well. The guys there are true professionals and treated me with honesty and respect.. Highly recommend this shop and would actually go out of my way to get work done there.

Comment: Single truck owner operator. Had an under dash air leak, I replaced the parking valve. While I was changing it, I gave a cursory look at the hoses. No holes or chafing. Reassembled the dash panels, aired up the system. Released the tractor brakes, and the leak was still there. Called IK the next morning, asked the service dept what they thought the issue was. They didnt hesitate, told me I had a brake chamber that was bad. I checked, I did. Thanks for the help IK. If I ever run into a problem I cant fix myself, and Im in the area, I will be in to see you. Thanks!!

Comment: I want to thank Inland Kenworth of San Diego for all of the continued support they give us dealership wide. I especially want to show my appreciation to the service department; Adam and his team know how to treat a customer right. My relationship with Kenworth has been going strong for 7 years now. Just because Kenworth is the Worlds Best, doesnt mean they dont break down. IKW of San Diego gets my equipment back on the road in a timely matter, fixed right and I am treated the same whether it is a warranty issue, or customer pay. Thanks again Inland Kenworth of San Diego!

Comment: Adam Stratton, the service manager here, is top-notch and knows his stuff!! Adam is THE guy I call to consult whenever I have technical issues on my KW (Paccar Engine) no matter where I am in the USA. He has ALWAYS given me straightforward advice which I have found to be right-on whenever my truck has required service. You dont get that kind of service just anywhere. Even though I am based in WV I get the most technical preventative work done here. They look out for the owner-op!!

Im looking forward to take my truck on Monday to get the EGR service done. So far so good and looking forward on Monday to get my truck fixed. Even though my truck is a Pet, but I still want to take it Inland, because their reviews are much better then Rush Truck.Eugen was awesome. He took my truck right in and had it fixed right away.

Comment: In Febuary 2013, we took our 2010 T370 in for ECM code check to find out why the engine check light kept coming on. They did the code check and told us it was not clear what the root cause was and could get expensive to troubleshoot. They suggested trying an ECM update first. So we did that.I found the service manager friendly and helpful. Also I liked their rates, they seemed very reasonable compared to other service places.The ECM update ultimately did not work. We had gotten to Los Angeles before warning lights came again. We took it to the shop in LA and they found out the truck needed new Injectors. After getting those changed, the troubles with the DPF and engine light finally went away.
