Diesel engines are standard among semi-trucks, pick-up trucks, and fleet vehicles. As traditional gasoline prices continue to rise, using a diesel engine is becoming a more popular choice for family vehicles. At Custom Diesel Service, our diesel engine repair shop provides services for diesel engines of all sizes. The experts at Custom Diesel Service use the latest diagnostic tools to make sure your diesel engine is running as it should.

 

Diesel engines are reliable, but they do require regular maintenance to stay in top condition. Keeping your diesel engine’s oil and filters changed at scheduled, regular intervals is crucial. Since diesel engines do not have electrical ignition parts such as wires and plugs, there are fewer components within the vehicle that must be maintained. At the same time, it is wise to ensure that you regularly maintain the engine and work with a repair shop that understands the unique challenges of working with diesel engines.

Experienced Diesel Technicians

 

Our shop specializes in diesel and truck repairs. When you rely on your diesel truck to have the torque and gearing to pull up mountains, you do not want just anyone maintaining your truck. You need an experienced diesel technician to work on your truck. At Custom Diesel Service, we have technicians you can trust with confidence. Our technicians have extensive experience in diesel engines. Additionally, our technicians provide our customers with timely maintenance and the accurate repairs they need on their diesel trucks.

 

We can provide customers with regularly scheduled maintenance or help with major diesel engine repairs. We understand the maintenance required to keep your Powerstroke, Cummins, and Duramax diesel trucks running safely and smoothly. Our technicians also know that the maintenance and inspection scheduled for diesel trucks are not the same as those of gas engines. Diesel engines need to be treated differently, particularly with diesel exhaust fluid and ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel.

 

Diesel truck owners need to regularly replace their fuel and air filters to ensure their trucks run smoothly and comply with all diesel regulations. Maintaining brakes on diesel engines and heavy trucks is especially important. The brakes on diesel trucks are heavy-duty and larger. Your brakes must work efficiently because your stopping power has to be more significant. We can help you conduct essential maintenance on your brakes, such as changing your brake pads regularly. We can also help you with diagnosing braking problems and fixing the issue promptly.
