Diesel vehicles are known for their power, durability and fuel efficiency. Whether you drive a truck, car or a semi, it requires regular maintenance and repair. Finding the right repair shop – one you can trust to get your vehicle fixed correctly the first time – is crucial to ensuring your vehicle remains well-maintained and safe. Modern Auto Service in Fruitland, ID is a diesel repair shop that has been providing quality diesel repair services since 2016. When looking for a trustworthy shop, you will need to check several factors.
Expertise in Diesel Engines
The first thing you should look at is whether the shop’s technicians have expertise in working on diesel engines. These engines are different than gas engines, and you’ll need a technician who understands diesel technology, including high-pressure fuel systems, turbochargers and particulate filters.
Reputation and Reviews
Online reviews and word of mouth are great resources when researching diesel shops. Finding the best diesel repair services is easier when you can find people who have used a specific diesel shop and have first-hand knowledge of its work.
Licensing and Certification
Look for shops that are licensed and certified. Modern Auto Service has ASE-certified technicians and more than the ASE certification. It is an AAA Approved Repair Shop, BG products partner and hybrid certified. These certifications are a sign of the shop’s commitment to high-quality work and professionalism.
Diagnostic Equipment and Technology
Selecting a reliable diesel repair shop means the diesel repair specialists have all the equipment and tools required to diagnose and repair diesel engines. The diagnostic equipment should be up to date so the shop can properly diagnose diesel vehicles with today’s technology.
Warranty Policies
A reputable shop provides a warranty on its work, including services and parts. When a shop stands behind its work, you know that it cares about doing work correctly the first time. Most shops have a two-year or three-year warranty, but Modern Auto Service is so sure about their work that they provide a four-year, 48,000-mile warranty – the best in the Treasure Valley.
Transparent Pricing
A shop should always provide clear and detailed estimates for the cost of maintenance and repairs before they start working on your vehicle. Granted, in many cases, they may have to spend some time diagnosing the problem, but the shop should provide a cost for that diagnosis. You should receive an itemized invoice so you know what you are paying for.
Personalized Customer Service
Each staff member, whether a service advisor, front counter person, a technician or the owner, should be approachable and willing to answer any of your questions. They should be able to explain the repairs so that a layperson can understand what is going on. You should not be just another number to the shop.
Clean and Organized
The shop should be clean and organized, which promotes a safe working environment and reflects the shop’s commitment to quality repair work.
Timely Turnaround
Sometimes, it takes longer to repair diesel engines because of the complexity of the engine. However, a great diesel repair shop will have a reasonable turnaround time and will let you know what the estimated time of completion is for your vehicle. Additionally, if the shop runs into a delay, such as a warehouse sending a wrong part or finding additional work that could not be seen until the tech took the vehicle apart, the shop should communicate the reason for the delay and the new estimated time of completion.
