Diesel Cold Start Diagnostics & Repairs

Diesel Cold Start Repairs You Can Count On

Having Diesel Engine Cold Starting Problems?

Over time, the build up of engine deposits increasingly makes cold starting your vehicle more difficult. The amount of engine deposit formation in your diesel vehicle is closely related to its daily operations. Urban driving, excessive idling and light work loads are all operations that could have a negative impact on your diesel engine.

Get Your Diesel Engine Running Smoothly

Identifying the cause of your cold starting problems can be as simple as replacing a weak battery. But if the root of the problem is left untreated, it can lead to bigger and more costly problems. Worn injectors, excess carbon around glow plugs or spark plugs and old petrol or diesel not combusting correctly could be some of the minor problems contributing to your rough cold starts. But you should also consider some of the more serious problems that could be causing the cold starting issues, like engine oil sludge, excessive carbon build-up or increased cranking resistance. No matter the problem, AG Automotive will correctly identify the root of the issue and get you back on the road with confidence.

What Do We Check?

We want to ensure your car starts reliably and everything is functioning properly. We can determine the root cause of your cold starting problems, minimize the downtime of your vehicle and maximize the cost savings for every customer. Although most cold start issues originate from engine deposit build-up, we make sure that everything that could contribute to the issue is also checked and assessed to assure you drive home knowing the problem is fixed the first time.

These guys were so amazing! I severely needed an oil change and they got me in right away. They were efficient, kind, and didn’t try to push sales, which I really appreciate. My rating for them is 5/5, for sure!

Brittany W. Facebook Review

AG picked up and delivered my girlfriends car once they changed the oil. They were right on time to pick the car up, they even cover the seat and wear gloves while in your car. I was surprised how much they did during an oil change. During the oil change they even informed me about a light that was burnt out and didn’t even try to upsell me on it like other shops do. I will bring or have my cars picked up and brought to this shop from now on. It was such a easy process!

J.W., Google Review

I took my 2008 Chevy Duramax into AG Automotive when it was having some hard start and engine misfire issues. Turns out I needed new glow plugs and also had some bad wiring issues. AG took care of my truck quickly and even ended up saving me some money off the original estimate. AG stayed in constant communication with me while my truck was there and took care of it quickly and professionally. AG had been recommended to me based on their Diesel expertise and they lived up to their billing. The cost and professionalism were just an added bonus. Highly recommend these guys for Diesel repair and now that I know they also do gas vehicles, I’ll be bringing in my girlfriend’s Jetta from now on. Thanks AG!

Weilei H., Google Review

I’ve been using AG Diesel since 2012 (4+ years) and they really do superior quality work. From general maintenance, to great advice, and even half an engine rebuild due to a bad head gasket, the parts they choose and the work they do is top notch.
