What We Do

2011 Ram 6.7L diesel suffering from coolant loss and an overheating engine. We diagnosed the problem and provided the customer with repair options that would prevent the problem from happening again with head gasket replacement cost estimates.

Problem: loss of coolant and engine overheating.

Diagnosis: Performed a cooling system pressure test and a combustion chamber leak test to determine that the cylinder head gasket was leaking.

This article is about repairing oil leaks on a fleet customer's Ford Powerstroke powered E450 Van. This is a big job, on a diesel engine that is notorious for oil leaks, and on a vehicle that is difficult to work on. So you can understand why vehicle owners hesitate to get oil leaks repaired on their Powerstroke. Both the risk of the repair not solving the problem and the high cost, make many owners reluctant to get the job done. This is why you need to choose a diesel truck shop with experienced diesel technicians, who will guarantee their work!

You depend on your vehicle daily, and when your car is in the shop, it seems your day has completely stopped. At State Street Auto Service, we aim to prevent these situations from happening, as we recognize just how valuable your vehicle is to your day. That’s why we recommend setting aside time for your timing belt replacement.

Winter isn’t quite here yet, but we can already feel the chill of Autumn growing stronger. Not only do these chilly months have an effect on us, as we can’t help but pile on the layers and heavy jackets, but this season also affects our cars. We must ensure your vehicle is ready to withstand the elements of Mother Nature, and autumn is the best time to winterize your vehicle.

Spring is here. We can expect to see the world around us anew again, with the sight of budding trees and blooming flowers. However, we can also expect to see lots of yellow dust floating in our air. Not only do you breathe in pollen, but your car does too. Similar to heading to the doctor’s office for some allergy medicine, certain aspects of your vehicle require a check-up during this season. Your air filter is first on the list.

When your air filter requires replacement, your vehicle's performance will diminish. You can expect to see the following side effects:
