If you own a diesel anywhere near Berea, KY, save yourself the trouble and call Preston Jones at PJ Diesel. I brought him my 2021 Silverado Duramax (L5P) and the whole experience was as good as it gets. Preston is honest and upfront with you from the first conversation. He got back to me fast every time I reached out, and the turnaround on my truck was quick. He knows these trucks inside and out, and his pricing is fair. He came in less expensive than a lot of other shops, and the work is excellent. What really sets him apart is how he treats his customers after the job is done. Any time I've wanted to pick his brain about my truck since then, he's been glad to share what he knows. My truck is running better than it ever has. I'm in Richmond, and I would've driven a lot farther than that for work this good. A reliable diesel mechanic you can trust is hard to find, and I couldn't ask for anything better. I'd recommend PJ Diesel to anyone in Madison County or beyond.

Serving Berea
Berea sits where the Bluegrass meets the first ridges of the Appalachian foothills, right along Interstate 75. That puts a lot of diesel traffic through town: pickups pulling trailers, farm trucks from the surrounding Madison County land, and commercial rigs running the I-75 corridor between Lexington and the south. The roads east and south of town climb into steeper, winding country, which means more time under load and more heat in the engine and transmission. Kentucky winters bring cold starts and the occasional hard freeze, which test batteries, glow plugs and fuel that has picked up water. Summer heat and humidity work the cooling system and turbo hard on long pulls.

Why Berea customers need this work
Diesel trucks around Berea do real work. They tow campers and stock trailers, haul hay and equipment, and climb the hills into the foothills with weight behind them. That kind of use is hard on injectors, turbochargers, cooling systems and fuel filters. A diesel that sits through a cold snap can also have trouble starting or gel up if the fuel is not treated. Having a diesel shop in town matters because a truck that is down usually means work that is not getting done, and a gas-engine shop may not have the diesel experience to track the problem down.
