Oil Changes
In Simple Terms:
An oil change is a fundamental maintenance service that involves replacing the old, used oil in your engine with fresh, clean oil and installing a new oil filter. Think of it as giving your engine fresh blood to keep it running smoothly.
How do you know you need it?
Is your trusty diesel thirsty for fresh oil? You’re heading out for a job, the familiar rumble of your diesel engine usually a comforting sound. But lately, you’ve noticed a few things that have you raising an eyebrow. Maybe the engine isn’t sounding quite as smooth as it used to, or perhaps that little “oil life” indicator on your dashboard has been stubbornly blinking at you for a while now.
You might even be seeing a slight dip in your fuel efficiency, making those longer hauls a bit more costly. These subtle signs can often be your diesel truck’s way of telling you it’s time for a vital service: an oil change. Just like us, your engine needs regular care to perform at its best, and fresh, clean oil is the lifeblood that keeps everything running smoothly.
Don’t wait for a major issue to arise – pay attention to these early indicators and give your diesel the care it deserves!
What you can expect from us:
At Four Wheel Truck Repair, our oil change service for diesel trucks goes beyond simply draining and refilling. Our experienced technicians use high-quality oil that meets the specific requirements of your diesel engine (whether it’s a Powerstroke, Cummins, Duramax, or another make).
We also replace the oil filter with a quality filter designed to trap contaminants and ensure proper oil flow. During the oil change, we also perform a basic visual inspection of other critical components, such as fluid levels, belts, and hoses, to catch any potential issues early. With our knowledge of diesel engines, we understand the importance of using the correct oil and filter for optimal performance and longevity.
It’s a quick and essential service that helps protect your investment and keep your diesel truck running efficiently.

Tune Up
In Simple Terms:
A tune-up is a periodic maintenance service aimed at ensuring your engine is running at its peak performance and efficiency. While modern diesel engines don’t have spark plugs like gasoline engines, a “tune-up” for a diesel truck involves checking and maintaining key components that affect its operation.
How do you know you need it?
Is your diesel feeling a little…off? You’re on the road, and your usually powerful diesel truck isn’t quite responding the way it used to. Maybe you’ve noticed a slight hesitation when you hit the accelerator, or perhaps the engine isn’t idling as smoothly as it once did, feeling a bit rough or shaky.
You might even be experiencing a dip in your usual fuel economy, meaning more trips to the pump. Sometimes, you might hear unusual noises or notice a bit more smoke than normal coming from the exhaust. These subtle changes in your truck’s performance can be tell-tale signs that it’s time for a tune-up.
Think of it as giving your engine a little TLC to get it back to its peak performance, ensuring smooth operation, optimal fuel efficiency, and preventing potential bigger issues down the road. Don’t ignore those little signals – a tune-up can make a big difference in your diesel’s overall health and your driving experience!
What you can expect from us:
For diesel trucks, a tune-up typically involves inspecting and potentially replacing fuel filters (which are crucial for diesel engines), checking and cleaning air filters, inspecting belts and hoses, checking and adjusting valve lash (if applicable), and performing a thorough computer diagnostic scan to identify any underlying issues.
Our Red Seal certified technicians, with their extensive experience on Powerstroke, Cummins, Duramax, and all other diesel makes and models, understand the specific maintenance needs of these engines. We ensure that the fuel system is delivering fuel efficiently, the engine is getting clean air, and all essential components are functioning correctly.
A diesel tune-up helps maintain optimal power, fuel economy, and overall engine health, ensuring your truck continues to perform reliably.

Brake Repair
In Simple Terms:
Your brakes are what allow you to safely slow down and stop your truck. They are a critical safety system, and keeping them in good working order is essential for everyone on the road.
How do you know you need it?
Feeling less confident when you hit the brakes? Imagine you’re navigating through Nanaimo, maybe heading down a slight incline or approaching a stop sign. You press the brake pedal, and instead of that firm, reliable stopping power you’re used to, you notice something feels…off. Perhaps the pedal feels spongy or too low.
Maybe you hear a squealing, grinding, or clicking sound when you brake. You might even notice your truck taking longer to come to a complete stop than it used to, or it might be pulling slightly to one side when you apply the brakes. These are critical warning signs that your brake system needs immediate attention.
Your brakes are arguably the most important safety feature on your diesel truck. Ignoring these signals could put yourself, your cargo, and others on the road at serious risk. Don’t wait for an emergency – if you experience any of these brake issues, it’s time to bring your truck to the experts at Four Wheel Truck Repair for a thorough inspection and necessary repairs. Your safety is our priority.
What you can expect from us:
Our Red Seal certified technicians provide comprehensive brake services for all makes and models of diesel trucks. We start with a thorough inspection of all brake components, including pads or shoes, rotors or drums, calipers, hoses, and brake fluid.
Depending on our findings, services may include replacing worn brake pads or shoes, resurfacing or replacing rotors or drums, repairing or replacing calipers, flushing and replacing brake fluid, and inspecting and repairing any leaks or damage to the brake lines and hoses. With over 20 years of experience, including expertise on the heavy-duty braking systems often found in Powerstroke, Cummins, and Duramax trucks, we ensure your brakes are functioning optimally for maximum safety and stopping power.
We use quality brake components to provide reliable and long-lasting performance.

Exhaust System
In Simple Terms:
Your truck’s exhaust system is responsible for safely carrying away the gases produced by the engine. It also plays a role in reducing noise and controlling emissions.
How do you know you need it?
Is your diesel sounding louder or smelling unusual? You’re starting up your diesel truck, and the familiar rumble seems to have taken on a different tone – maybe it’s louder than usual, or perhaps it has a strange rattling or hissing sound. While driving, you might notice an unusual smell inside the cab, something acrid or perhaps even the faint scent of exhaust fumes.
You could also be seeing more black smoke than normal coming from your tailpipe. These are indicators that something might be amiss with your exhaust system. A healthy exhaust system is crucial not only for keeping noise levels down and ensuring your comfort but also for proper engine function and emissions control.
Ignoring these signs could lead to reduced fuel efficiency, decreased engine performance, and potential issues with environmental regulations. If you’re experiencing any of these exhaust-related symptoms, it’s a clear signal to bring your diesel truck to Four Wheel Truck Repair for a comprehensive inspection and expert service. Let us ensure your exhaust system is functioning cleanly and efficiently.
What you can expect from us:
Our experienced Red Seal technicians offer a full range of exhaust system services for diesel trucks. This includes inspecting for leaks, cracks, and corrosion in the pipes, mufflers, and catalytic converters (or diesel particulate filters – DPFs – and selective catalytic reduction – SCR – systems in modern diesels).
We can repair or replace damaged exhaust components to ensure proper function, reduce noise, and maintain emissions compliance. As specialists in Powerstroke, Cummins, and Duramax trucks, we are also knowledgeable in the intricacies of their advanced exhaust systems, including DPF cleaning and regeneration, DEF system repairs, and addressing any issues related to emissions control.
We ensure your exhaust system is functioning safely and efficiently, keeping your truck quiet and environmentally responsible.

Steering & Suspension
In Simple Terms:
Your truck’s steering system allows you to control its direction, while the suspension system provides a comfortable ride and helps keep the tires in contact with the road for good handling.
How do you know you need it?
Is your ride feeling rough or your steering less precise? Imagine you’re navigating the roads around Nanaimo, and you notice your diesel truck isn’t handling quite like it used to. Perhaps the ride feels bumpier than normal, and you’re feeling every little imperfection in the road. Maybe your truck seems to be wandering or pulling to one side, requiring you to constantly correct your steering.
You might also hear clunking or popping noises when you go over bumps or turn the wheel. These are key indicators that your steering and suspension system might need attention. These systems are vital for a smooth, comfortable ride and, more importantly, for maintaining control of your heavy-duty vehicle. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to uneven tire wear, a less stable driving experience, and potentially dangerous handling issues.
If you’re experiencing any of these steering or suspension problems, it’s time to bring your diesel truck to the experts at Four Wheel Truck Repair for a thorough inspection and professional service. Let us help you regain a smooth, safe, and confident driving experience.
What you can expect from us:
Our skilled Red Seal technicians provide comprehensive steering and suspension services for all diesel truck makes and models. This includes inspecting components such as shocks, struts, springs, ball joints, tie rod ends, control arms, and power steering components.
We can perform services like wheel alignments to ensure proper tire wear and handling, replace worn or damaged suspension parts for a smoother ride and better control, and diagnose and repair power steering issues. With our experience working on the often heavier and more robust steering and suspension systems of trucks like Powerstroke, Cummins, and Duramax models, we ensure your truck handles predictably and provides a comfortable and safe driving experience.

Air Conditioning
In Simple Terms:
Your truck’s air conditioning system keeps the cabin cool and comfortable, especially during hot weather.
How do you know you need it?
Is your cab feeling more like a sauna than a comfortable haven? It’s a warm day in Nanaimo, and you turn on the air conditioning in your diesel truck, expecting that blast of cool, refreshing air. But instead, you’re met with lukewarm air, or maybe just the sound of the fan blowing with no noticeable temperature change. Perhaps the AC works intermittently, cooling sometimes and not others. You might even notice a strange musty odor coming from the vents when you turn on the system.
These are clear signs that your truck’s air conditioning system isn’t performing as it should. A properly functioning AC isn’t just about comfort during those hot BC summers; it also contributes to driver alertness and overall well-being on long hauls. Don’t suffer through a sweltering cab – if your AC isn’t keeping you cool, it’s time to bring your diesel truck to Four Wheel Truck Repair for expert air conditioning service and repair. Let us help you stay comfortable and focused on the road ahead.
What you can expect from us:
Our Red Seal certified technicians offer comprehensive air conditioning services for diesel trucks. This includes diagnosing the cause of AC problems, such as leaks in the refrigerant lines, a faulty compressor, condenser issues, or problems with the blower motor.
We can perform refrigerant recharges, leak detection and repair, component replacement, and system cleaning to ensure your AC system is blowing cold and strong. Regardless of whether you drive a Powerstroke, Cummins, Duramax, or another make of diesel truck, our experience allows us to efficiently diagnose and repair your AC system, keeping you comfortable on the road, no matter the temperature outside.
