If you drive a diesel, you already know it’s not like every other vehicle on the road. Diesel engines are built to work harder and last longer, but they also need a shop that understands what makes them different. Not every mechanic does.
At I-70 Auto Service in Kansas City, our technicians are trained specifically to work on diesel engines, including the Duramax, Power Stroke, and Cummins found in so many of the trucks and vans we see every day.
Diesel Engines Are a Different Animal
The reason diesel repair requires specialized knowledge comes down to how these engines are built. Diesel engines run at much higher compression ratios than gasoline engines, and their fuel delivery systems work in a completely different way. That means the diagnostics are different, the tolerances are tighter, and the consequences of getting it wrong are more costly.
Our technicians understand those differences. When your diesel arrives, we’re not taking a one-size-fits-all approach. We’re looking at your specific engine and symptoms, and using the right tools to get to the right answer.
What We Service
We work on passenger cars, vans, and light- to medium-duty diesel trucks, offering:
- Preventive maintenance tailored to diesel engines
- Brakes, suspension, and steering

- Oil changes and fluid services
Keeping Your Duramax, Power Stroke, or Cummins Running Strong
Whether you’re hauling a trailer on the weekends, running a work truck all week, or putting serious miles on a diesel van, staying on top of maintenance keeps these engines performing as they’re supposed to.
Diesel engines are built for longevity, but that lifespan depends heavily on the quality of care they receive. Skipping maintenance or taking your truck to a shop unfamiliar with diesel systems can lead to bigger, more expensive problems down the road.
We’re here to make sure that doesn’t happen. I-70 Auto Service has been a trusted name in Kansas City auto repair since 1999, and diesel service is a big part of what we do.
