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 Nicholasville
Nicholasville is the county seat of Jessamine County, just south of Lexington along US 27. The city has grown quickly as a home base for people who work in Lexington, while the land around it is still farm country, with the Kentucky River palisades along the county's southern edge. That mix means a lot of commuter miles on US 27 and a lot of farm and contractor trucks on the back roads. Roads that drop down toward the river are steep and curvy, which adds braking and engine load for anyone towing. Cold winter mornings and hot, humid summers both show up in how a diesel starts and runs.

Why Nicholasville customers need this work
Diesels around Nicholasville split their time between commuting toward Lexington and doing farm, construction and towing work in the county. Commuter miles add up fast on fuel filters, oil and emissions parts, while farm and contractor use works the turbo, injectors and cooling system. Regular service and a proper diagnosis when something changes keep a work truck from being down longer than it needs to be. Steep roads down toward the Kentucky River add extra braking and engine load when you are towing. If a work truck starts running rough or throws a code, getting it diagnosed early often keeps a small repair from growing.
