FAQ

How often should I service my heavy equipment?

Service intervals vary by usage and manufacturer guidelines, but we recommend routine checks every 250–500 hours of operation or every 10,000–15,000 miles for trucks.

What types of vehicles do you work on?

We service heavy-duty trucks, medium-duty trucks, construction equipment (e.g., bulldozers, excavators, skid steers), trailers, and specialty vehicles.

Can you handle engine rebuilds or replacements?

Yes, we offer complete engine diagnostics, rebuilds, and replacements depending on the condition and needs of your vehicle.

Why does diesel engine oil turn black quickly?

Diesel engines produce more soot and combustion byproducts, which darken the oil quickly. This is normal and not necessarily a sign of a problem.

What are common signs of brake failure in heavy trucks?

Signs include squeaking or grinding noises, soft brake pedals, pulling to one side, and warning lights on the dashboard.
