Terrell, Texas

When was the last time your mechanic
actually listened?

We don't replace parts until we know what's wrong. No upselling, no jargon, no pretending you need something you don't. Just honest diesel work — from routine maintenance to full performance builds.

What We Do

Diesel service that goes
deeper than a code reader

Diesel Engine Repair

From Cummins to Power Stroke to Duramax — we diagnose and rebuild. No guesswork, no part-swapping without a plan. We find the real problem.

Performance Tuning

Stage 1 through full custom tunes. We map your truck to run harder, cleaner, and smarter — without sacrificing reliability or warranty.

Preventive Maintenance

Oil changes, flushes, filter replacements, and inspections that catch trouble before it leaves you stranded. Because your truck shouldn't dictate your schedule.

Diesel Exhaust & Emissions

DPF, EGR, DEF systems — we handle the stuff most shops avoid. Clean, legal, and built to last. We'll tell you if a delete is right for you, and we'll tell you if it isn't.

Transmission & Drivetrain

Automatic and manual diesel transmissions, differentials, and transfer cases. Built to handle torque, not just survive it.

Electrical & Diagnostics

Advanced scan tools, wiring repair, and module programming. If it's got a computer, we can talk to it — and figure out what it's saying.

About Us

We don't build websites.
We build trust — one truck at a time.

142 Diesel Performance started with a simple frustration: too many diesel owners get told they need a part they don't. So we decided to do it differently.

Every job that comes through our bay in Terrell gets the same treatment — thorough diagnosis, clear communication, and work we'd be proud to put on our own rigs. That's not a slogan. It's the reason we've kept our doors open and our customers coming back.

Whether you're hauling for a living or just refuse to drive anything less than a diesel, we treat your truck like it matters. Because it does.

No Surprise Bills We explain before we touch.
Real Diagnostics We find the root cause, not the symptom.
Local & Honest Terrell-based. Reputation is everything.

Why 142

The difference isn't in our equipment.
It's in our attitude.

100% Honesty Rate

We'll tell you if your truck doesn't need that upgrade. Most shops won't.

All Makes Diesel Specialists

Cummins, Power Stroke, Duramax, 6.7L Power Stroke — we speak every diesel language.

Local Right Here in Terrell

FM 2728. Not a franchise. Not a call center. A real shop, real people.

Clear No Jargon Policy

We explain what's wrong in plain English. You decide what gets done.

What Drivers Say

We let the trucks do the talking

Finally found a shop that doesn't try to sell me stuff I don't need. They fixed what was broken, told me what I could wait on, and charged me exactly what they said. That's rare.

Truck Owner Terrell, TX

Had my 6.7 tuned and the difference is night and day. They explained everything they did and didn't try to upsell me on a second stage. Honest people run an honest shop.

F-250 Owner Dallas, TX

They got me back on the road the same day instead of trying to stretch the job. That's the kind of place you hold onto in this area.
