What the parts cannon actually costs

Same truck. Same fault.
$955 apart.

A DEF and DPF fault on a Class 8 truck. This is the pattern we see when a truck reaches us after another shop has already replaced parts until the light went out. We scan the ECM, find the cause, and fix it once. Every figure below is LTEK's own invoiced labor average for that job.

Parts first

Labor figures are LTEK's own invoiced averages for each of these jobs. They are shown together to illustrate a fault path we see regularly on trucks that arrive after being parts-swapped elsewhere, not a single customer invoice. Parts are additional on both sides. Repair sequences vary by truck and by shop.

Fleet Programs

Every Truck.

On File.

Running three or more trucks? Every unit you send us gets a permanent file. Invoices, inspections, PM intervals, compliance dates. We keep all of it, and you can pull any of it. Most shops hand you a receipt and forget the truck existed.

When my 2019 Peterbilt went into derate, Sebastian made it painless and guided me through the whole process. The owner, Louie, and Victor went right to work.

Michael PiddingGoogle review

They diagnosed and fixed my injector issue quickly and professionally. Honest about the problem, explained everything clearly, and didn't try to upsell anything unnecessary. The pricing was fair for the quality.

Yes. We specialize in fleet maintenance and compliance: scheduled inspections, PM programs, and fast diagnostics to keep your trucks legal and running.

Do you perform DOT, BIT, and CARB inspections?

Yes. DOT, BIT, 90-day inspections, and CARB Clean Truck Check testing, including any required repairs to help trucks pass compliance.

Do you offer warranties?
