General Truck Maintenance & Preventative Service

The single most important factor in your truck’s longevity is consistent, high-quality preventative maintenance. At Performance Authority in Bend, we provide expert truck maintenance services designed to protect your investment, improve reliability, and help you avoid expensive, unexpected repairs down the road. Think of it as the cheapest insurance policy you can buy for your truck. 

Expert Diesel Oil Changes: The Performance Authority Difference

An oil change isn’t “just an oil change,” especially for a diesel engine. Quick-lube shops use a one-size-fits-all approach that is simply wrong for your complex diesel engine. They use bulk, generic-grade oil and cheap filters that can lead to premature wear and costly damage. At Performance Authority, our expert diesel oil changes are different.

  • We Use The Highest Quality Oil: We use top-tier, heavy-duty diesel oils, like Schaeffer’s, that meet or exceed the specific requirements for your Powerstroke, Cummins, or Duramax engine.
  • We Use High-Quality Filters: We use OEM or equivalent high-quality oil and fuel filters designed to handle the high pressures and filtration demands of a diesel engine.
  • We Perform a Professional Inspection: Our trained technicians perform a thorough inspection during every service to identify potential issues before they become major problems.

Don’t trust your multi-thousand-dollar engine to a $50 quick-lube special. Get it done right at our truck shop in Bend, OR.

FAQs

For most diesel trucks, we recommend full maintenance every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on usage and driving conditions. Regular upkeep—including oil changes, filter replacements, fluid checks, and inspections—keeps your diesel running stronger, longer.

Our transmission service includes fluid inspection and replacement, filter changes, diagnostics, and full rebuilds or replacements if needed. Whether you’re dealing with slipping gears or delayed shifting, we’ll restore smooth performance. 

Common signs include uneven tire wear, bouncing after bumps, steering instability, or a rough ride. We inspect shocks, struts, springs, and bushings—then repair or upgrade your suspension for better handling and durability. 

We inspect pads, rotors, calipers, brake fluid, and lines for wear or leaks. Whether you need a basic pad replacement or a full brake system overhaul, we ensure your truck stops safely and reliably every time. 

Warning lights, poor fuel economy, rough idling, or lack of power are all signs your engine needs a checkup. We use advanced scan tools and hands-on testing to pinpoint issues—no guesswork involved.

Diesel engines run hotter and under more pressure than gas engines, making clean oil essential. Routine oil and filter changes reduce wear, boost efficiency, and extend engine life—especially if you haul or tow frequently.

We perform a full visual and mechanical inspection—covering the engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, tires, HVAC, and more. You’ll get a detailed report so you can buy with confidence or walk away informed.
