Performance Diesel & Rhino

Excellent service by an honest, trustworthy group. They take pride in their work and that shows. If you want quality work by true professionals, look no further.

I stopped by to get a diagnosis on how bad the blow by on my 06 f250 6.0l was and the mechanic was very helpful. He went out and looked at my truck with and actually told me that it wasn't anything too concerning and gave me some great recommendations on what to do without trying to get me into the shop and spend a bunch of money. I felt like he was very honest. The facility seemed much cleaner and organized than other shops I have been to, as well.

This is a "still-developing" review - Currently awaiting and at the owner's mercy for the total cost of their "Services" - Here's our Experience, thus far, with this business: Performance Diesel (PD) took our F250 into their care for a "No-brainer" FCIM replacement. 15 days later, PD called to inform us the truck had "run-off" during "routine procedures" in which a rather expensive part i.e. the entire engine had unfortunately destroyed itself or spontaneously self-destructed. This Engine had 130k Miles, which is a baby in diesel mileage... PD has assured us it was not their fault, but it was the truck's fault, and there was nothing they could have done to prevent and or remediate the devastation "Nothing can be done!" and "There's no way you can make that engine stop!" argued the Owner of PD regarding a "Run-away" engine...?! My Friends, Here's How Mechanics and You CAN Quickly Stop a "Runaway" Diesel and reduce risks/ damage to property: In order to stop a working/running diesel you have to either cut its fuel or air supply. However, if you while driving, mechanical force will come at hand first. Whichever is the case, make sure any following actions are safe to perform. This is a general guide and may not be able to work with different real life circumstances. If your diesel runaways while you’re driving, you will certainly feel the unintended acceleration. Lift off of the accelerator pedal and apply the brakes - watch out how close another vehicle is following you so it will notice and avoid a rear end collision. Under no circumstance should you put the engine higher than your own life (or others). Let the engine scream like hell, put the transmission into neutral so it won’t accelerate anymore and pull over. Don’t panic if you drive an automatic because most of them will allow you to select neutral and stop while on the go. Then the quickest method to shut the engine off is to use the CO2 fire extinguisher you normally carry in your car. Grab it, pop the hood and spray right near the intake. It helps if you know which one that is before. If not, spray everywhere. The CO2 will replace the air needed to burn the fuel which should stop the engine. This method also works if flammable gasses surrounding the car have started the runaway. However, if oil in the intake is causing the runaway, there’s going to be a lot of smoke coming out from the exhaust. If wind blows from behind and covers the whole car, you should better stay away and call the authorities. Don’t have a CO2 extinguisher? Another way to cut the engine’s air supply is by manually blocking the intake with something - a rag or a piece of plywood. If you covered the intake snuggly but the engine still runs, it means there are leaks along the rest of the intake piping and the engine is able to suck from there. With a manual transmission, you can put it in the highest gear, apply the brakes and release the clutch. This should offer more resistance than the engine can sustain and choke it. If you don’t loose your calm, the maneuver can work while driving, just pop it in 5th or 6th gear, release the clutch and apply the brakes at the same time. If you tried the first method, by putting it in neutral and pulling over, the maneuver can still be performed in the same way - after safely coming to a stop, hold the brakes firmly, engage the highest gear and dump the clutch. The car might jerk forward so watch out. What to do after you stopped a runaway diesel? Even if you went through a mild runaway, under no circumstances should you start the engine again. If the car is stopped in a safe position, not interfering with the traffic, just leave it there with the hazard lights on and call road assistance to give it a tow to the nearest service shop. If your car is bothering the traffic, put on the hazard lights and push it off the road if you can. oh, First step is always Fear God/ be brave

Excellent customer service, very knowledgeable about Diesel engines and very honest guys. Charlestons original Diesel performance and repair shop.

I have been trying to get these guys to do an EFI live for me for about 2 weeks. They are absolutely terrible about calling you back or giving you any good information at all when calling them. I went in 2 weeks ago to inquire about having it done, and still have no solid answer to the status. If I ever actually get the work done I may change this rating, depending on if they do actual good work.
