Diesel Repair Shop

Anyone ever use Diesel Repair Services in Burlington?

My truck died on me today in my daughters drive way, popped a P0148 code, basically fuel system. I don’t have time to mess with it.

Are you talking about Diesel Services by the state patrol by I-5? If you are get all your quotes in writing and signed. I have heard some bad stories come from there. Also check out the mechanics they have and make sure they are sober. I know of multiple mechanics that have left there because they were not into that stuff.

Check the sensor plugs first and look for a short and tape it up to get somewhere else that's reliable!

If it was mine and didn't have time to work on it I would take it to Steve's Automotive in Burlington. He is off Spruce St.

ICP sensor??

ICP sensor??

Isn't that the code that sets when the pump fails?
(I'm assuming it's a Cummins)

It basically covers all fuel problems with the engine.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I try do work myself if I reasonably can.  Dealership quoted me $900 for oil fuel change 2020 cummins.  Sorry guys but never will I pay that much.

  Maintenance schedule at 25k miles.  Oil, fuel air inspection and lube.  In manual it is due for oil change and fuel filters.  I bought OEM parts $165? Oil $70.  Doing it today for second time.  So yeah it is at least $500+ for hours wortk of work at most.   I also have fuse bad for trlr light.  I asked about that and quote was 1 hour at $150.  FU Dealership.

What do you bill hourly in your business?
You work for free?


Even though this has literally nothing to do with the OP’s question or the thread in general.

Well I got my truck back from the shop today, broken wire for the low pressure pump in the fuel tank under the battery box. I would have never found that. But that’s what the proper diagnostic tools find.👍

Steve’s automotive In Burlington is highly recommended as Justhunt recommended to me.

Great shop, said he was a month out when I dropped it off Friday, called yesterday its done.

@Justhunt    Thank you.👍

Glad to help. Steve is a good guy and has always been honest with us.

Yes, I never go to a dealership for repairs. There are plenty of good repair shops and mechanics at a third the price of dealership repairs, you just have to find them. Hourly charge trumps billable hour most every time👍

1/3 the price?

Maybe there are some not for profit shops out there. Who knew.
