About the shop
B.K. Automotive & Diesel Repair works in Hampton on both gas and diesel vehicles. That combination is less common than it sounds — diesel work needs different tooling, different diagnostics and a different kind of experience, and plenty of general shops will not touch it.
It matters here because the Peninsula runs on work trucks. Contractors, delivery vehicles, marine and construction fleets, and the diesel pickups people use for both work and family. When one of those is off the road it is not an inconvenience, it is lost income, and turnaround time is the whole service.
What we do
- Diesel diagnostics and repair
- Fuel systems, injectors, turbos, emissions systems and the sensor faults that put a truck into limp mode.
- Gas engine repair
- Everyday cars and light trucks. Diagnostics, cooling, ignition and the failures that come with mileage.
- Work truck maintenance
- Scheduled servicing on vehicles that earn their keep, planned around when you can afford to have them off the road.
- Brakes and suspension
- Including the heavier components on loaded trucks, which wear differently to a passenger car.
- Electrical and charging
- Batteries, alternators, glow plug systems and the intermittent faults that only appear cold or wet.
- Cooling systems
- Radiators, water pumps and thermostats. On a diesel under load, a cooling fault becomes an engine fault quickly.
How it works
Call with the vehicle and the fault
Engine, mileage, and what it is doing. Diesel diagnosis in particular starts with knowing exactly what you have.
Diagnose, then quote
The failure gets confirmed before parts are ordered. Diesel components are expensive enough that guessing is not an option.
Repair with the downtime in mind
You are told realistically how long the vehicle will be off the road, so you can plan around it.

Questions people ask
Do you work on diesel pickups?
Yes. Call with the year, engine and the symptom.
My truck went into limp mode. What now?
Usually an emissions or sensor fault rather than a mechanical failure, but it needs reading properly. Do not keep driving it hard.
How long will my truck be off the road?
It depends on the fault and on parts. You will get a realistic answer up front, because for a work truck the downtime matters as much as the bill.
Do you do fleet work?
Call and ask. Scheduled maintenance on several vehicles can usually be planned around your working week.
Gas vehicles too?
Yes — ordinary cars and light trucks are a large part of the work.
