If you are an owner or operator of a diesel-powered truck, you know how important it is to keep your vehicle in top condition. Whether you use your truck for work or play, it is essential that it runs smoothly and reliably to get the job done.
At Wolverine Automotive, we understand the unique needs of diesel engines and have the expertise and experience to keep your truck running at peak performance. From routine maintenance to complex repairs, we offer a wide range of services to keep your diesel truck on the road and running smoothly.
A diesel engine repair service will assist you in getting your vehicle back on the road quickly by diagnosing and repairing any engine problems. It is critical to understand what to look for in a qualified company before hiring them for this type of work. Here is everything you need to know about locating an excellent diesel engine repair service.
Since your vehicle is one of your most valuable investments, regular car service and maintenance will ensure that it lives a long and healthy life.
Even though diesel engines require high combustion pressure, they require more maintenance. Because there are no spark plugs, it can overheat, threatening the engine’s life. Another aspect would be the worn-out engine components that age over time producing damage to your diesel engine.
There are numerous reasons why your diesel engine may break down. The most common cause of this problem is poor maintenance or lack of regular oil changes. Other reasons include the following:
Excessive smoke, increased fuel consumption, and reduced performance indicate a faulty or worn-out engine. What’s more, the time and cost associated with replacing these supposedly worn-out parts are relatively high when compared to repair or regular vehicle service.
However, each of these issues could result from contamination in your diesel engine’s system. That is why you should have your engine serviced regularly.
When it comes to engine tuning and performance parts, many vehicle owners believe that only gasoline engines are eligible and that only naturally aspirated engines benefit from tuning. Many diesel engine owners are unaware they may be sitting on a stable of unused horses, ready to be released!
A diesel engine tune-up is adjusting and replacing standard engine parts with performance choices to enhance the engine’s performance. This is necessary because standard engine parts deteriorate and lose functionality over time. You can reinstate the engine’s original power and efficiency by tuning it up.
The following steps are included in a Diesel engine repair and engine overhauling:
In this phase, our team of experts disassembles the engine on-site using portable tools and equipment.
After the disassembly of the engine, our mechanics start the inspection process. We use the latest inspection instruments to check every part of the diesel engine, i.e. connecting rods, bearings, crankshaft, cylinder head, etc.
Following an inspection, our team creates a detailed report for each part of the engine that they have examined. This inspection report is forwarded to the client for further consideration.
After submitting reports and discussions with the client, our engineers can begin calibrating and overhauling engine parts. They use cutting-edge technology to calibrate and repair diesel engines and parts.
After inspection and repair, it’s time to put the engine back together.

Had a wonderful experience. In my business we deal with hundreds of shops and Wolverine is highly recommended by me. They are professionals from the front staff to the techs. Quality work and exceptional communication. They really value their clients and I bet that’s why they have an amazing reputation in their local community. Shannon was whom I dealt with and Shannon is a pro!

Recently purchased a used vehicle and had Wolverine perform an inspection on it prior to purchase. The experience with Wolverine was great and gave us peace of mind with our decision.

Highly recommend Wolverine Automotive in FSJ - I was in town purchasing a used truck last week and they were able to squeeze me in for a last minute PPI. Not only were they very thorough/knowledgeable but they were also very kind and communicated clearly. Would definitely use them again if ever in FSJ!

Had a failing U joint on my way down South. While every other shop was booked out weeks in advance, they were kind enough to squeeze me in the next day which allowed me to get back on the road! They were fast, professional and very friendly.

Dwayne Wipf Sep 25, 2020
Awesome service! I was that type of person that walked in mid day and begged for them to fix my vehicle BUT also needed it back as I needed to head out to work that evening! They squeezed my vehicle in even though I noticed the parking lot was full of other vehicles too. Which they did warn me my vehicle may not be done that day. Of course I knew was fair . Matt was so informative and the girls were so friendly and awesome too. The techs here know what they're doing for sure. They drove me home and the girls quoted me how much I might be looking at for this service before they even went forward with anything! How awesome! When I paid it was right around there (even a little less) no hidden fees! Highly recommend this place! Thank you to ALL the Wolverine Staff who got my vehicle in and out in a timely manner!

During our trip from Alaska to Kansas my truck blew 3 spark plugs. They got us in fast, had great customer service, very knowledgeable mechanics and had us back on the road before any other shop would've even been able to get us in. If you're ever broke down near fort St John I'd definitely recommend them (They even gave us a follow up call a day later to make sure we made it safe. They're awesome)
