Do you have Detroit Diesel diagnostic equipment?

Yes. We use Detroit Diesel Diagnostic Link (DDDL) — the factory diagnostic software — for full-depth diagnostics, parameter programming, DPF forced regenerations, and injector calibrations on all Detroit engines.

What Freightliner models do you service?

All current and recent models: Cascadia (all configurations), M2 106, M2 112, 122SD, 108SD, Coronado, and legacy Columbia and Century models.

Can you repair the Detroit DT12 automated transmission?

Absolutely. Clutch replacements, actuator service, software updates, shift quality diagnostics, and complete overhauls.

What are common problems with the Detroit DD15 engine?

EGR cooler leaks, aftertreatment system faults (DPF, SCR, DEF quality), turbo actuator failures, injector issues, and coolant leaks from water pumps and thermostat housings.

How much does a Freightliner DPF regeneration cost?

A forced regen service costs significantly less than DPF replacement. We diagnose the root cause first — faulty 7th injector, DEF dosing issue, or sensor problem. Call 704-786-0132 for a specific estimate.

Do you offer fleet maintenance programs for Freightliner trucks?

Yes. Tiered PM programs (PM-A, PM-B, PM-C) with digital inspection reports, photos, and priority scheduling for fleet accounts.

Can you perform DOT inspections on Freightliner trucks?

Yes. Federal DOT annual inspections on all Freightliner models per FMCSA guidelines.

Do you work on Freightliner trucks with Cummins engines?

Yes. While our specialty includes Detroit engines, we also service Freightliner trucks equipped with Cummins ISX15, X15, ISL, and ISB engines.
