Semi Truck Engine Repair in Orlando, FL

Truck Engine Repair Near Me in Orlando, FL

If you searched “truck engine repair near me” and you’re anywhere between Sanford and Kissimmee, you’re in our service area. Top Rides is at 9640 Sidney Hayes Rd, just off the Beachline (528) and ten
minutes from the I-4 / Florida Turnpike split. We work on Class 6 through Class 8 diesel trucks, and the shop has the bay clearance and lifts to handle a full sleeper cab without you unhooking the trailer in the parking lot.

We’ve been doing this in Orlando since 2018. Most of the calls we get start the same way: the truck is derated, the check engine light is on, or it just won’t start at a fuel island somewhere on I-4. Bring it in, or call us and we’ll come out. Phone is (407) 591-6747.

How We Diagnose — and Why It Matters

A check engine light on a modern diesel can mean three hundred different things. We don’t guess. Every diagnostic starts with a full ECM scan using the OEM-level software for that engine, not
just a generic Bluetooth dongle. From there we read freeze-frame data, pull the active and inactive fault history, and run the relevant cylinder cut-out, EGR position, and aftertreatment tests.

Then we tell you what we found, what it’ll cost, and how long it’ll take — before we touch a wrench. Nothing gets repaired without your sign-off. That’s it. No surprise invoices.

We also document everything. FMCSA Part 396 maintenance regulations require every motor carrier to keep written records of inspections, repairs, and maintenance for one year while the truck is in service. We give you that paperwork on every job — work order, parts list, technician notes — so it goes straight into your DQ file without you having to chase us for it.

What It Costs and How Long It Takes

Honest answer: it depends on the engine and what’s wrong. But here are real numbers from jobs we run regularly:

• Diagnostic scan and pinpoint test: $150–$250
• DPF clean and bake: $450–$650
• EGR valve replacement: $900–$1,400 parts and labor
• Injector replacement (one cylinder, includes cup): $1,200–$1,800
• Turbo replacement: $2,800–$4,500 depending on engine
• Head gasket job: $4,500–$8,500
• In-frame overhaul: starts around $18,000

Most diagnostics get done same day. Most parts-on-the-shelf repairs go out within 48 hours. In-frames take one to two weeks depending on parts availability.
