What drivers call us about
- A hard start, or a truck that won’t start at all
- Lost power, or an engine that surges or runs rough
- More smoke than usual
- Fuel smell or a fuel leak
- A problem that started right after fueling
Start with the last fill-up
Two trucks with the same symptom can have very different problems, and the fuel stop often helps tell them apart. So before anyone talks about injectors, we’ll want to know what changed.
- It started right after fueling. Tell us where and how much you took on. Then the fuel itself is worth checking.
- It came on slowly over days or weeks. Say so, and say what’s changed in how the truck runs.
- It happened on a cold night. Winter is part of the job up here. Amarillo sits at about 3,700 feet and averages 17.9 inches of snow a year. In hard cold, wax crystals can form in diesel and plug the fuel filter, so tell us how cold it got.
What to tell us
- When it started, and what the truck was doing at the time
- Where it last fueled
- What’s on the dash, including any fault codes
- The color of any smoke
- What’s already been tried or replaced
- Where you are on I-40 or I-27
At the truck, or at a shop?
Fuel systems and injectors are work we do at the truck. If the mechanic finds the cause is bigger than that, they’ll tell you what it needs and whether that means a shop.
Where we cover
We're open 24/7. We cover Amarillo, Canyon, Lubbock, I-27 and I-40 from Vega to Groom, and can stretch farther across Texas. Call with the location and we'll tell you whether we can get there. We don't promise an arrival time on this site, so ask on the call, and ask for an estimate before any work starts.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need new injectors?
- We can't tell you that over the phone, and nobody else can either. Describe the symptoms, and the mechanic finds the actual cause before anything gets replaced.
- The truck started acting up right after I fueled. Does that matter?
- Yes. Tell us where and when you fueled, and how much you took on. It's one of the first things worth knowing.
- It won't start on a cold morning. Could it be the fuel?
- It could be. Diesel can gel in hard cold and plug the filter. Tell us how cold it got overnight and what the truck does when you try to start it.
- Other mechanics couldn't find the problem. Should I still call?
- Yes. Tell us what's already been tried and what's already been replaced, so nobody starts over.
