Our team can review your manufacturer recommendations and help you plan service based on how and where you drive.

Oil change intervals depend on your vehicle, engine type, and driving habits. Many modern vehicles fall in the five thousand to seven thousand five hundred mile range, but some diesel vehicles have different needs. We check your vehicle specifications and help you choose the best schedule to protect your engine.

A check engine light can turn on for many reasons. It could be something simple like a loose gas cap or something more serious involving the engine or emissions system. Our team uses professional diagnostic equipment to read the codes, test the system, and explain what is going on before any repairs are made.

Unusual noises, shaking, or vibration can point to issues with brakes, suspension, tires, or drivetrain components. Do not ignore these signs. Bring your vehicle in so we can inspect it, find the cause, and fix the problem before it gets worse.

Repair pricing can vary due to labor rates, technician experience, parts quality, and the level of diagnostic testing performed. At Buda Diesel Works, we believe in fair and transparent pricing. You will always know what you are paying for and why, with no surprises.
