Leaking seals, boost leaks, tired clutches
Diesels that work for a living wear at the seams. Crankcase and differential seals begin to weep, motor mounts sag, a clutch loses its bite, and the front end on a heavy truck loosens after years of load. A boost leak at the intercooler or a charge pipe shows up as a truck that feels flat when it used to pull hard.
One Google reviewer, C C, listed what a 2007 Cummins 5.9 got at Total Auto Care: intercooler and charge pipes, an intake horn, new motor mounts, fixed seals, a new clutch, a rebuilt front end. The verdict: “Pretty much a new 2007 5.9 at this point.”
Dustin is a real mechanic
That line comes from the same review, and it points at how the shop is set up. Diesel is not a side job at 1706 W Broadway Ave. It is painted on the awning out front as Gas/Diesel Engines, and it is worked by ASE-certified master technicians with ongoing training and over 30 years of auto repair experience behind the shop.
The shop holds a state emissions gas and diesel certificate and lists emissions repair among its services, so the diagnosis covers the whole truck, not only the part you walked in worried about. The latest diagnostic equipment reads the fault first, and the estimate is free, usually the same day, at (509) 765-7863.
Fleets use the shop too. Ben Justesen wrote that “we have taken our fleet and our personal vehicles there,” and that he never has to worry about something else happening after they fix it.
Back on the road with the warranty behind it
A truck that sits waiting costs money, and Ted Owens found out how the front desk handles that. Working in the Moses Lake area, he had a work truck mishap that needed an emergency tow. He wrote that Eric “was able to squeeze me in and had me on the road in 2 days.”
Repairs carry a full parts and labor warranty for 12 months and a 12,000-mile nationwide warranty. For a truck that covers a lot of miles, ask the front desk before the work starts how those terms apply to yours.
The shuttle service and text updates keep a working driver moving while the truck is in the bay. A big diesel bill can go through one of several financing options, and the shop works with insurance and warranty companies.
