We service diesel trucks for everything except the engine itself. Brakes, alignment, tires, oil, electrical, cooling and suspension — yes. Internal engine work — no, and we will tell you that before you drive over here.
A three quarter ton truck is harder on brakes, tires and front end components than anything else in the parking lot, and most of what a diesel actually needs has nothing to do with being a diesel. That is the work we do. What we do not do is open a Power Stroke, a Duramax or a Cummins — internal engine repair goes to a diesel specialist, and we would rather say that on this page than after you have made the drive.

Dakota Ridge Auto was incredibly efficient and friendly. I brought my car in for an oil change and the staff explained everything clearly while getting the job done quickly. I left feeling confident about the service and will definitely return for any future car maintenance.
I went to Dakota Ridge Auto for a tire swap. I didnt want new tires, just the snow tires swapped out. The friendly staff called me and told me one of my tires was bad and needed to… read the rest on Google
Here is the honest boundary. We service diesel trucks the same way we service everything else — brakes, alignment, tires, oil and filters, electrical, cooling, suspension and scheduled maintenance. What we do not do is internal engine repair on a diesel. No injectors, no turbochargers, no head work.
That is not us being modest. Diesel engine work is a specialty, the tooling is specific, and the shops that do it well do nothing else. Sending you to one of them costs us a job and saves you a bad outcome, which is the trade we would make every time.
Everything we do handle carries the same 48 month, 50,000 mile warranty as the rest of our work, and a diesel gets the same 32 point inspection as anything else that comes through the door.
Measured in millimetres at all four corners. Heavier truck, faster wear, same honest number.
Where a misaligned truck quietly destroys an expensive set of tires.
More oil, different filter, and a shop that will actually take the job.
Dual batteries, glow plugs and the starting problems that come with them.
Worth a look before the mountain trip rather than during it.
Internal engine repair — injectors, turbos, head work. We will tell you who to see.
Say the code when you call, or show this page on your phone at the counter. Nothing to print.
Up to $50 off, scaled to the size of the job

Excludes towing, tires and batteries. Tax and shop supplies excluded. One coupon per invoice. Not good in combination with any other offer.
Yes, for everything except the engine itself. Brakes, alignment, tires, oil changes, electrical, cooling, suspension and scheduled maintenance are all normal work for us on a Power Stroke, Duramax or Cummins.
No. Internal engine repair on a diesel goes to a specialist and we will point you at one. That includes injectors, turbochargers and anything requiring the engine to come apart.
Yes, and it is one of the more common reasons a diesel owner ends up here — a lot of quick-lube places will not take a truck that size or does not stock the filter. Bring it in.
Weight. A loaded three quarter ton carries a great deal more energy into every stop than a car does, and the pads absorb it. It is normal, it is worth measuring rather than guessing at, and it is cheaper to catch before the rotors go with them.
Talk to us about the specific fault. Some of it is squarely within what we do and some of it sits on the engine side of the line, and we would rather look at it than give you a blanket answer that turns out to be wrong.
Everything we perform carries the same warranty as the rest of our work. Note that commercial and fleet use is capped at the NAPA Peace of Mind period rather than the full 48 months, and a lot of diesel trucks are working vehicles — we will tell you which applies to yours before you approve anything.
Bring it in. If it turns out to be engine work we will tell you that too, and tell you where to take it.
Open Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 5:30pm. Courtesy shuttle within about five miles.
