Our diesel ASE certified technicians handle many kinds of repairs on the Ford, Chevy, Dodge, & GM trucks that come into the shop such as electrical system, major engine repairs, or retrofit engines with emission control systems to comply with pollution regulations. Diesel engine maintenance is becoming increasingly complex as engines and other components use more electronic systems to control their operation. For example, fuel injection and engine timing systems rely heavily on microprocessors to maximize fuel efficiency.
