Diesel Preventative Maintenance

Dieel vehicles that last long have one thing in common: preventive maintenance.

Your vehicle manufacturer expects you to visit an diesel service center for factory scheduled maintenance. This includes common services like oil changes, as well as component inspections at certain mileage intervals. You may also need to replace certain system parts, like brake pads and rotors, as identified in your owner's manual.

Following your diesel maintenance schedule not only helps you get the longest life from your vehicle, it also keeps your diesel truck covered under the factory warranty and extended warranties.

It makes sense. Your vehicle's manufacturer doesn't want to pay for a vehicle that hasn't been taken care of properly. Routine diesel maintenance saves you money in the long run by reducing the liklihood of unexpected problems occuring while driving and ensuring you're covered if something goes wrong.

Where Do I Go for Diesel Preventive Maintenance in Gilbert, AZ?

You might think your best bet is to go to the nearest dealer in Gilbert, AZ for diesel vehicle maintenance. However, you don't need a dealer to keep your factory warranty valid. That's been true since 1975, thanks to something called the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act protects you when choosing where to go for service. Under it, you're allowed to go to an independent automotive service center and use aftermarket parts for repairs and maintenance. Your factory warranty will remain intact as long as you follow the maintenance schedule.

East Valley Diesel Specialty provides diesel preventive maintenance for Gilbert, AZ, Mesa, AZ, Chandler, AZ, and surrounding areas.

Learn About Diesel PM Services

Common diesel maintenance services we offer include but are not limited to:

• Lube & Oil Change: An oil change is one of the most common maintenance services requested, with good reason. Your diesel vehicle requires lubrication so its mechanical parts work seamlessly together. Without good motor oil, friction will cause wear and tear on the metal parts as they work together. This could eventually lead to your diesel engine overheating. An oil change is necessary because oil becomes dirty over time. Oil change intervals vary depending on whether you use synthetic or regular oil and how frequently you drive.
• DPF Cleaning: The Diesel Particulate Filter requires routine cleaning to prevent soot and ash accumulation. A clogged DPF can damage or break the filter and cause issues with fuel effciency and engine performance. The team at East Valley Diesel Specialty can assist with your DPF cleaning service and all your diesel maintenance needs.
• 30,000 Mile Service: At 30,000 miles you've reached an important milestone. Many manufacturers recommend maintenance at or near this mileage. Service includes replacing the engine oil and filter, checking and/or changing the coolant, inspecting the brakes, replacing the air filters, inspecting the exhaust, and checking other diesel fluids and parts.
• 60,000 Mile Service: Your vehicle is seasoned with many miles behind it and many more to go. At the 60,000 mile mark, your diesel parts and fluids will be checked and replaced again. Services include inspecting the steering linkage and boots, fuel line connections, transmission fluid, spark plugs, and other parts and fluids.
• 90,000 Mile Service: As your diesel vehicle reaches the 90,000 mile point, it's time for another maintenance check. Like the prior maintenance service intervals, you'll need your diesel system components and fluids checked to retain vehicle dependability and performance.
• Spring Checkup: Before you hit the road for spring and summer, make sure your diesel truck or car is running in top condition. No one wants to experience problems while driving on a normal day and especially during a vacation. A spring checkup ensures everything looks good for the hot months ahead.
• Winter Checkup: Seasonal diesel checkups are a great preventive practice. Cold and below zero temperatures have a negative effect on batteries. Having your vehicle winterized helps prevent problems that could leave you on the side of the road in winter weather.
