Find Diesel Engine Service in Brainerd MN at Houston Ford
We have a great service center at Houston Ford in Brainerd, MN, and we love getting to help members of our community keep their vehicles running well. One of the tougher areas of service is working on vehicles that run off a diesel engine. Houston Ford is very prepared to work on diesel vehicles, because it has not one, but two master diesel mechanics.
A master diesel mechanic is centric to diagnosing and confirming what an issue is with a diesel-run vehicle. They’re also the person who will design the plan for service and maintenance.
What makes someone a Master Diesel Mechanic
It’s very difficult for anyone to become a master diesel mechanic, making it even more impressive that we have two at Houston Ford. To earn the title, a mechanic must first work for two years before being allowed to take a test that allows them to apply for the Master Diesel Mechanic test. Then, to earn the certification, they must pass eight exams on the following topics:
- Engine Performance
- Heating and Air Conditioning
- Brakes
- Suspension and Steering
- Electrical/Electronic Systems
- Manual Drivetrain and Axles
- Engine Repair
- Automatic Transmission
Every topic will test the mechanic with 50 multiple choices questions. All eight exams also need to be taken again every five years for a mechanic to maintain status as a master diesel mechanic.
