diesel truck muffler with smoke coming out

At Elite Automotive LLC in Covington, KY, our priority is keeping your Dodge, Chevy, or Ford truck reliably on the road. A major aspect of that is catching small issues before they become bigger ones.

Your diesel is a reliable vehicle. Still, sometimes all it takes is a small problem to leave you stranded. If you ever hit the key and the engine fails to turn over, it’s something you should get addressed sooner rather than later. Whether it only happens once a month, once a week, or every day, eventually something will give, and you’ll be calling for a tow truck.

There’s no direct line from the key to the engine that starts your pickup. Relays, connections, modules, security components, the starter, the ignition switch, and safety switches all work together; if one of them fails, the whole system fails. If any of these components become problematic, it may start as a minor inconvenience - but eventually your engine will fail to start at all.

Fortunately, most of these issues aren’t a big deal, so long as they’re caught and repaired early. All it takes is the right equipment and know how. No matter your repair or maintenance needs, we’ve got you covered. For the best diesel service shop in Covington, KY, call or stop by Elite Automotive LLC today.
