Montalvo's Differentials & Drivelines — Local services in Oxnard

I replaced the front and rear brakes on my 2019 toyota tacoma trd pro. It was then that I noticed that the left rear side brakes drum was soaked in oil. I determined that the wheel seal was the issue. I replaced the wheel seal drove it around for a week and checked it. To my surprise there was still oil leaking from the wheel seal. I looked around for a place to take it that wouldn't charge me an arm and a leg. I saw the reviews for montalvo's differential shop and decided to give them a shot. I called and set up an appointment. Showed up the next day spoke with Juan and he quickly diagnosed that I should have replaced the bearings if I was going to replace the wheel seal. He replaced the bearings and the wheel seal in one day and charged a reasonable amount. I waited 3 weeks before writing this review because I wanted to make sure the wheel seal wasn't leaking again. I want to thank Juan for doing such a good job and for being honest and professional. If you are have any issues with the axle or axle components I highly recommend you take your vehicle to...

Fast , friendly service . I dropped off my truck one day had it back the next. This guy is the best look no further ! He won't sale you stuff you don't need he will advise you if the things you actually need and you can decide if you want to do it or not. I brought my differential in thinking I needed a full on rebuild (due to another company finding shaving in my diff ) Juan inspected everything said all was ok but I still had him do my bearings even though he said it was all ok and the shavings were more than likely just from the normal wear and tare. Bearings looked ok, gears were fine and pinion was fine. Good job Juan keep on kicking ass man

Talked to Juan In the am regarding something that busted through my differential cover had vehicle towed in to him . He had it torn apart right after lunch only took 45 minutes for him to give me an answer on what happened. Should have truck back today or...

I went here at the advice of two other shops. Juan is a honest hard working individual. I dropped truck off for some drive line service. He went above and beyond and had to cut driveshaft apart to index it properly since it was previously botched. This was the second time I had drive line work done in less than a year. I highly recommend him for any driveline and differential work. I will be back to have a locker installed. His pricing...
