Your diesel engine is built for power, reliability, and performance — but even the toughest engines need expert care. If you’re noticing strange sounds, smoke, or power loss, it’s time to schedule a professional diesel engine inspection before minor issues become major breakdowns.

Ignoring these signs can lead to serious engine damage. Get it checked immediately by a diesel specialist.

Everytime I get any work done at metric motors it gets done in a timely manner with a smile on there face. I would not go anywhere else with my car.Posted on Cicindela SauleanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our entire family are customers of Metric Motors ever since we moved to the area 8 years ago and have only good things to say about them. Always professional and knowledgeable. I have an older Audi Allroad which requires special attention being that many of the parts have been discontinued by Audi. The team at Metric always goes above and beyond to address the issues I run into. My car recently needed a radiator and they went all out in order to make that happen. We will never take our cars anywhere else. Thank you guys for all the great work!Posted on John BushnellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Primary reason that I use Metric is that I never and I mean never have to go back a second time for a repair. It’s always done right the first time. Nicest people in the world, but also informative taking time to explain all your options. This time, they made my vehicle safer, something we often take for granted. Love these guys.Posted on David BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I came late and they were still able to complete my service and made the process so efficient. Would definitely recommend to a friend!!Posted on Joseph AielloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great shop for mechanical and body work. I have a 1959 Austin Healey Sprite that runs like a top and a professional BASF paint job due to the skill of Metric Motors mechanics. Metric Motors honors their warranties. They aren’t cheap, but nothing good is cheap. They also aren’t over the top with prices. My thanks to Dominic, Greg, Arlene and the staff of Metric Motors. I highly recommend their services for domestic and foreign cars. Unfortunately I was told they no longer service 1959 Austin Healey Sprites.
