Quick answers — top questions
Q: How soon can you diagnose my truck?
A: Most diagnostics are completed same day or within 24 hours. Complex intermittent faults may require extended testing and live-data logging.
Q: Do you offer mobile/roadside diagnostics?
A: Yes — we provide on-site diagnostics and minor repairs in Estill Springs and nearby towns. Major bench or machine work is done at our shop. See Mobile Diesel Repair for details. →
Q: Do you service fleets?
A: Yes — we design maintenance plans for small fleets (2–20 vehicles), with priority response, consolidated invoicing, and KPI reporting. See Fleet Maintenance. →
Diagnostics & electronics
Q: What does a diesel diagnostic include?
A: We use manufacturer-level scan tools, live-data logging, oscilloscope checks, fuel pressure and injector signal testing, and road tests when needed. You’ll get a written diagnostic report with prioritized repair options.
Q: Will you credit the diagnostic fee toward repairs?
A: Often yes — when you approve the recommended repair work, diagnostic fees are commonly credited. We’ll confirm before starting any repairs.
Q: Can you find intermittent electrical faults?
A: Yes — intermittent issues can take longer. We use data logging and stress tests to reproduce and isolate the fault.
Injector repair & calibration
Q: How long does injector bench testing take?
A: Single-vehicle bench tests are often same-day; fleet volumes may take longer. We provide flow-rate reports for each injector we rebuild.
Q: Rebuild or replace — which is better?
A: We advise based on bench results. Rebuilds are cost-effective when internal parts are serviceable; replacement is recommended when damage is severe.
Q: Will calibrated injectors improve fuel economy?
A: Yes — proper flow and spray pattern restore combustion efficiency and typically improve MPG and throttle response.
Turbocharger repair & rebuilds
Q: What are common turbo failure signs?
A: Loss of power, unusual whining, excessive smoke, oil leaks, or boost pressure loss. Early inspection avoids downstream engine damage.
Q: Can you rebuild a turbo or do you replace it?
A: We rebuild most turbos (balancing, new seals/bearings) but recommend replacement when cartridge damage or housing cracks make rebuilding uneconomical.
Engine rebuilds & overhauls
Q: When is a rebuild necessary?
A: Rebuilds are considered for crank/cylinder wear, catastrophic failure, or repeated major component failures. We provide repair-vs-replace analysis with timelines and costs.
Q: How long does an engine rebuild take?
A: Typical rebuilds run from 1–3 weeks depending on parts availability and machine-shop workload.
Fleet plans, billing & booking
Q: How are fleet plans billed?
A: We offer flexible billing: monthly, quarterly, or per-service consolidated invoicing. Plans are customized by mileage and vehicle type.
Q: How do I request a fleet quote?
A: Use the Request Fleet Quote form or call (931) XXX-XXXX. Please include vehicle count, average annual miles, and typical routes.
Q: Do you provide repair documentation for fleet records?
A: Yes — every job includes a written report, diagnostic logs where applicable, and recommended follow-up actions.
Pricing & warranties
Q: Do you provide price ranges?
A: Yes — we publish typical price ranges for common jobs on service pages. For exact quotes, send photos, VIN, and symptoms through our form.
Q: What warranties do you offer?
A: Eligible parts and labor come with a written warranty. Warranty length varies by service — details provided with each estimate and invoice.
