Diesel Auto Repair
Not every shop works on diesels. Our technicians repair diesel cars and trucks, from glow plugs and injectors to turbochargers.
Trusted by Happy Customers
Diesel engines work differently
Diesels use their own compression to ignite fuel, with much more compression in the chamber than gas engines, so they need no spark plugs. They use glow plugs to help start.
Symptoms that point to diesel repair
A diesel that is noisy or smoking needs attention. Other symptoms include:
- Lower running RPMs
- Excessive smoke
- Rough or uneven idle
- Stalling
- Acceleration issues
- Hard starting
- Electrical problems
What we repair
We repair or replace glow plugs, fuel injectors, turbochargers, and other engine components on small diesel cars and big pickup trucks alike.
Diesel induction service
Diesel fuel oxidizes and leaves residue in injectors and combustion chambers. These deposits clog injectors and create irregular spray patterns that hurt performance. Our induction service is a concentrated cleaning of the injection pump and injectors, recommended periodically. Ask your service advisor what fits your vehicle.
Frequently asked questions
Do diesels need spark plugs?
No. Diesels ignite fuel through compression and use glow plugs to help start.
How often should injectors be cleaned?
Diesel induction service is recommended periodically, or when fuel-related problems appear. Ask your service advisor.
