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 Richmond
Richmond is the county seat of Madison County and the largest city in the county, with Eastern Kentucky University near downtown and Interstate 75 running along its western edge. The city has grown outward with new subdivisions, retail and industrial sites, so there is steady work for contractor trucks, delivery vehicles and equipment. North of town, the Kentucky River and Fort Boonesborough draw boaters and campers, which means a lot of pickups pulling boats and trailers on the river roads. The mix of interstate miles, stop-and-go city traffic and rural county roads puts different kinds of wear on a diesel.

Why Richmond customers need this work
A diesel in Richmond may spend the morning in town traffic and the afternoon towing on the interstate or down to the river. Short trips can be hard on emissions parts like the DPF and EGR system, because the engine does not always get hot enough to clean itself out. Towing brings heat and strain on the turbo, injectors and cooling system. Getting a diesel looked at by a shop that works on diesel every day helps find the real cause of a warning light or power loss instead of replacing parts by guesswork.
