Diesel mechanics in ensenada

I have found a great mechanic for diesels in Ensenada.

On a recent trip I was fortunate to breakdown as it turns out 5 blocks from the best diesel mechanics in baja... we know what would have happened if that break down was 100-900 miles down the baja.

They rebuilt my Ford 6.9 diesel engines fuel injector; including tow, labor, and parts for USD$200.00 (note in the USA a fuel injector pump itself is over USD$600.00) it was the shut off solenoid that was not activating. They did this work in no time so I could continue with my travels.

So on the way back south dropped by with a new thermostat and fuel pump I brought with me for preventative maintenance. Without an appointment they dropped everything and took care of it in 2 hours for a USD$60.00 bill, they prefer USD.

Laboratorio Diesel El Chino


Just south of walmart complex is a military base on HWY1, across from the military base to the south end of the base.. . There is a ice plant, great place to buy ice too. The ice plant is on HWY 1, go to the street to the north of the ice plant and go in one block back on the right. cel 646.140.3405 You will also see a 7-11 with gas station across the street from the military base it is not far from there to the south still.

from what I saw there they did work on new and old diesel trucks of all kinds even the big rigs. There are low cost hotels a few blocks away if you wanted to get more work done, and local busses to take you anywhere.

the owner is Chino, and his ace mechanic is Ramon.

I have marked the approximate location.




Make sure you tell them I said hi. I will try to visit them every time I drive by. Great guys...
