Common Questions
Yes, we warranty both parts and labor on our repairs. The specific terms depend on the type of repair and parts used, but we'll explain exactly what's covered before we start the job.
If a repair fails within a reasonable timeframe, bring your truck back and we'll take a look. We'll examine it to determine if it's a warranty issue and make it right if it is. We use quality parts and experienced technicians, so our repairs are built to last - but if something goes wrong with work we've done, we stand behind it.
Call us or click the 'Get an Estimate' button on our site and fill out the form. We'll need some basic information about your truck - make, model, year, what's going on with it, and your contact details.
Our parts specialist will put together an estimate and contact you with the details. We keep it straightforward - no games, no surprises. You'll know what you're looking at before we touch your truck.
We work with both. Many of our clients run fleets - from small contractor teams with 3-4 trucks to larger operations with dozens of vehicles. We offer fleet maintenance programs to keep your trucks on the road and reduce downtime.
But we also welcome owner-operators and individual truck owners who need reliable service. Whether you've got one truck or twenty, you'll get the same attention to detail and quality work.
It depends on the job and parts availability. Simple maintenance like oil changes and inspections are typically same-day. Bigger jobs - turbo replacements, injector work, transmission repairs - might take 2-5 days depending on parts lead time.
Our 6-bay facility means we can handle multiple jobs at once without bottlenecking. If you're down and need priority service, let us know when you call. We'll always give you a realistic timeline upfront - no surprises.
We start with a thorough diagnostic using professional-grade scan tools and our 20+ years of experience. We'll identify the problem, explain what's wrong in plain English, and give you a clear repair estimate before we do any work.
Our diagnostic fee typically ranges from $150-200 depending on complexity, and if you decide to move forward with the repairs, that fee gets applied to your final bill. No guessing, no surprises - just honest answers about what your truck needs.
No. Emissions equipment removal is illegal in Canada and voids your manufacturer's warranty. We focus on keeping your truck running legally and reliably.
If you're having issues with your DPF, DEF system, or EGR, we can diagnose the root cause and repair it properly. Modern emissions systems are complex, but when maintained correctly, they work. We have the diagnostic tools and experience to fix them right. Even if your emissions are already deleted, we can still repair your truck.
