Frequently Asked Questions

Many diesel truck owners wait too long between services, especially when hauling or working job sites daily. This leads to reduced power, efficiency, and costly repairs. At Still's Mechanical LLC, we encourage proactive maintenance to minimize downtime for owner-operators and fleets across East Texas.

Uneven surfaces, gravel roads, and potholes common in rural East Texas can knock wheels out of alignment quickly. This causes uneven tire wear, pulling while driving, and reduced handling stability. At Still's Mechanical LLC, we recommend alignment checks after suspension work or when you notice steering issues.

Schedule brake service at the first sign of trouble—squealing, vibrations, or reduced stopping power. Work trucks hauling heavy loads or making frequent stops wear brakes faster. Prompt service ensures safe stopping performance and prevents more expensive repairs down the road.

Common causes include clogged fuel filters, faulty injectors, turbo issues, or sensor malfunctions. These problems are especially noticeable under heavy loads or during long hauls. At Still's Mechanical LLC, we diagnose performance issues to restore power and reliability for diesel trucks across Huntington and East Texas.

Routine inspections and scheduled maintenance catch wear early, preventing breakdowns and costly repairs. This approach is especially important for vehicles exposed to heat, high mileage, and demanding rural conditions. Proactive care improves long-term reliability and reduces unexpected downtime.

Durable, all-terrain tires handle highway driving, rural roads, and jobsite conditions effectively. Choose tires designed for heavy loads and variable surfaces to improve traction, safety, and tire life. At Still's Mechanical LLC, we help customers select tires suited for both personal and commercial use.

Steering and suspension repairs can shift wheel angles, affecting alignment. Pairing front end repair with alignment ensures proper handling, ride quality, and even tire wear. This combination is especially important for vehicles driven on uneven roads or used in work environments.

Warning signs include misfires, rough idling, loss of power, unusual noises, or check engine lights. Addressing these early prevents more extensive engine damage. At Still's Mechanical LLC, we diagnose both gasoline and diesel engines to restore proper function and efficiency.

Mechanical failures can halt production, delay projects, and increase costs, especially during busy work seasons. Early diagnostics and timely repairs keep essential equipment running. At Still's Mechanical LLC, we provide practical repair solutions for agriculture, construction, and logging equipment across rural East Texas.

Comprehensive diagnostics identify fuel system issues, sensor failures, turbo problems, and performance losses before they cause breakdowns. Fast, accurate diagnostics keep working trucks on the road. At Still's Mechanical LLC, we focus on dependable service for owner-operators and local businesses in Huntington and surrounding areas.
