06 / About
Find it. Explain it. Fix it.
01
Diagnose first
Find the actual problem before anything gets replaced. No guessing with your money.
02
Explain the problem
You hear what’s wrong in plain terms and what it’ll take to fix.
03
Fix it right
Do the job so you’re back on the road and working, not back in a week.
I’ve spent nine years working on diesel engines, and I started Vertex Diesel because truck owners deserve a mechanic who tells them the truth. Too many people pay for parts they didn’t need because someone guessed instead of diagnosing. I find the actual problem first, explain it in plain terms, and give you a straight answer on what it’ll take to fix. I use OEM parts and I stand behind my work. Your truck is how you make a living. I treat it that way.

Warranty
Manufacturer’s warranty on all OEM parts, plus 90 days on labor for installations.
