Go Time Auto Repair

Diesel mechanic in Miami Gardens

Diesel problems get expensive when someone guesses, so our diesel work starts with finding the actual fault and putting the fix in writing before the truck is touched.

Signs you need this

Signs you need this

  • Black, white or blue smoke that was not there last month
  • Loss of power on the ramp or under load with a trailer

  • Fuel mileage dropping without a change in route
  • Repeated regens or a DEF warning that keeps coming back
How the price works

Every diesel job starts with a written price you approve before we start, whether it is a fuel filter or a set of injectors. Tax applies to parts only. Fleet accounts get one monthly invoice with every unit listed, so your bookkeeper gets one document instead of ten.

Questions people ask

Do you work on light-duty diesel pickups and vans too?
Yes. Diesel pickups, cargo vans and cutaway box trucks are a big part of what rolls through here, along with medium and heavy trucks.
My truck is in derate. Can you clear it?
We can clear it once the cause is fixed. Clearing a derate without fixing the fault just buys you a few miles. We find why the aftertreatment or emissions system tripped, fix that, and then verify the truck completes a regen.
Do you rebuild injectors or replace them?
We replace with new or remanufactured units depending on the engine and what you want to spend, and we tell you the difference in writing before you choose.
Is diesel work more expensive than gas?
Parts on a diesel generally cost more and some jobs take more labor. What we can promise is that the number is in writing before we start and does not change without your approval.
Can you do my routine service so I keep the warranty?
Yes. We follow the manufacturer's service intervals and keep a written record with dates, mileage and part numbers that you can hand to anyone who asks.

A code is not a diagnosis, and replacing parts by guess is the fastest way to spend money without fixing the truck.

Fleet maintenance

Every unit that breaks down on the road instead of getting serviced in the shop costs you a tow, a driver's day and a customer's patience, so a fleet account here is built to keep the maintenance ahead of the failures.
