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 Irvine
Irvine is the county seat of Estill County, set along the Kentucky River in hilly country east of Madison County. KY 52 is the main route between Irvine and Richmond, and the roads around the county wind through river bottoms and ridges. Much of the work in the area depends on trucks and equipment, from farm and timber work to contractors. Steep grades and long distances between towns mean diesel trucks here put in real miles under load, and a breakdown far from town is a bigger problem. Cold mornings in the hollows can make hard starts and gelled fuel more common in winter.

Why Irvine customers need this work
In hill country like Estill County, a diesel spends a lot of time climbing grades and pulling weight. That is hard on the turbo, the cooling system, injectors and the transmission. Trucks used for farm or timber work also see dust, mud and long idle times that can clog filters and emissions parts. Catching a small problem early, like a new noise, smoke or a warning light, can keep it from turning into a bigger engine repair. Regular fuel filter and coolant service matters even more when the nearest diesel shop is a drive away.
