Diesel Repair & Service

Diesel trucks and SUVs earn their keep around Sparks by towing trailers, hauling equipment, and climbing long grades toward Tahoe. That kind of work demands a healthy fuel system, turbocharger, and emissions setup, and small problems can grow quickly under load.

Signs your diesel needs attention include:

• Hard starting, especially on cold mornings
• Excessive black, white, or blue smoke
• Loss of power or a turbo that feels sluggish
• Rough idle, knocking, or misfire
• Warning lights for the DPF, DEF, or emissions system
• Rising fuel consumption

Our technicians service diesel pickups, SUVs, and vans, including popular Ford, Ram, Chevrolet, and GMC models. Work includes fuel injector and fuel filter service, glow plug and intake heater repair, turbocharger diagnosis, EGR valve and cooler service, and DPF and DEF system repairs.

Every diesel visit starts with an inspection and diagnostic evaluation, and you will know what we found and what it costs before we touch a thing. Photos and notes from the inspection arrive on your phone.

Real Experiences. Real Trust.

Diesel systems reward careful diagnosis. Fuel injectors, glow plugs, EGR components, turbochargers, and diesel particulate filters can produce overlapping symptoms, and replacing the wrong part is expensive. Our ASE-certified technicians, including ASE Master Techs, have more than 65 years of combined experience and run a full diagnostic evaluation before recommending any repair. Then they walk you through the results in plain language.

Qualifying diesel repairs are backed by a 36-month/36,000-mile warranty honored at participating NAPA AutoCare Centers nationwide, which is welcome protection for trucks that rack up highway miles. Santi Auto Care is NAPA Gold Certified and family owned.

We know a down truck can mean lost work. Our towing program covers the tow with a qualifying repair, after-hours drop-off lets you leave your truck at the end of the day, and text updates keep you informed. Financing through Snap Finance, Synchrony, and Koalafi can help with major repairs like injectors or a turbo. Running several diesel work trucks? Ask about our fleet service.
