Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I schedule maintenance for my diesel engine? 

Most diesel vehicles benefit from oil and filter changes every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. However, if you frequently tow heavy loads or drive in Gilbert's high heat, more frequent checks are a smart investment.

What are common signs that my diesel engine needs repair? 

Watch for hard starts, unusual exhaust smoke (black, white, or blue), a loss of power, rough idling, or odd engine noises. These symptoms suggest it’s time for a diagnostic evaluation.

Does Arizona require emissions checks for diesel vehicles? 

Yes. In Maricopa County (including Gilbert), most diesel vehicles are required to pass an annual emissions test to stay road legal. Our team can perform repairs to ensure your vehicle stays compliant.

What types of diesel vehicles do you service? 

We handle a wide range of diesel-powered vehicles, including heavy-duty pickups (like Ford Power Stroke, Ram Cummins, and Chevy Duramax), passenger cars, and light-duty fleet trucks.
