Diesel trucks owners need a reliable mechanic. Unfortunately, most car repair shops don’t service diesel engines. That’s where Allison Auto Center comes in. Our team understands how to fix common problems that plague diesel trucks in order to get you back on the road again.

Our team utilizes high-quality replacement parts, computer diagnostics, fuel system testing, oil changes and lubes, and welding services to provide superior support.
Just as with cars, trucks, and SUVs powered by gasoline or electric energy, diesel trucks require servicing. However, some common problems found in diesel engines are unique to them. Our team is situated to repair these issues and get you back on the road again:
Oil Oxidizing
If your truck sits for extended periods, it is at risk for oil oxidizing, which occurs when air gets into the oil in your truck. This creates bubbles that cause interference, hindering proper lubrication. These issues can cause more significant problems if left unresolved.
Starting Difficulties
Low compression and faulty fuel delivery systems are usually contributing factors to starting problems in diesel trucks. If you’ve had trouble starting your engine lately, don’t hesitate to bring it into Allison Auto Center.
Black Exhaust
While diesel trucks are meant to produce increased smoke, there is a line. For one thing, excessive exhaust can make its way into the cab and make it difficult to breathe. Additionally, you can be fined for producing too much smoke.
Humidity Damage
Water is harmful to your diesel engine. Humid weather or excessive rains both pose risks to your engine due to the oxidizing effect water has on the additives in your engine. As with oil oxidizing, this causes major damage if not fixed immediately.
Low Power
Diesel engines are supposed to generate increased power. It’s why you buy them! When you notice decreased power output from your truck, bring it into our shop.
Contaminated Fuel
As you probably know, diesel fuel is easily contaminated. Glycol, dilution, soot, and water all create disastrous consequences for diesel engine owners.
