Diesel Performance and Repair Shop in Talmo, GA

Known as the Jewel of Jackson County, Talmo is small-town Georgia where pickups and farm trucks earn their keep on rural roads and long runs down U.S. 129. Out here, a diesel that quits is a real problem. Southern Built Auto Works gives Talmo owners straight-talking, specialist diesel repair built for the trucks they actually depend on.

Trusted Diesel Technicians in Talmo, Georgia

Talmo sits about ten miles up U.S. 129 from Jefferson, tucked into the northwestern edge of the county near Gainesville. That stretch of highway makes our shop the closest true diesel specialist for most Talmo drivers. When a farm hauler drops power or needs PowerStroke diesel repair, we track down the fault, fix it right, and get the truck back to work instead of guessing at parts.

About Us

Southern Built Auto Works started with one belief: diesel owners in Talmo and across Jackson County deserve better than a shop that treats their truck like any other job. Oil changes are easy, but real diesel work rewards a technician who has already solved the same problem many times over. Because we work on diesel and nothing else, that depth comes standard.

The drive from Talmo is a simple one. Follow U.S. 129 southeast through Pendergrass and you reach our Jefferson shop in about fifteen minutes. From a check-engine light on a work truck to full Cummins performance service or careful Duramax diagnostics and repair, we handle the whole job. Talmo drivers make the short trip because dependable diesel work is worth it.

I took my truck in with a bad upper oil pan leak and an injector needing to get fixed, Luke did an excellent job on resealing everything that could possibly give me problems in the future . Resealed all 8 of my injectors while he was at it and upper oil pan resealed etc, Great customer service Luke would give me a call to give me a heads up on parts being delayed due to holidays or any possible problems, my truck has been running great ever since . If I ever run into any problems with my truck again I know I can confidently give Luke a call and he’ll fix up the truck in no time, very happy with the outcome of how everything came out with my truck being resealed and ready to put to work! Great prices and great quality work .

Great shop to deal with. Hooked me up on getting my L5p Duramax back up and going again after injector issues. Great customer service, great turnaround time, and professional communication. Will definitely be using them from now on in the future.

Mr.Luke did a great job installing a Fass Fuel system in my dads truck the night before Father’s Day to surprise him. I recommend Southern Built Auto Works to anybody looking for a great shop that does good work for a reasonable price.

This was a great experience. Nothing really but compliments for this shop. I knew it was going to take a little longer because the amount of customers who had come in before me but I was glad Luke was upfront and honest about it. The typical high pressure pump went out and I elected to use upgraded parts which took a like longer than normal but in our society it wasn’t bad. Truck is back up and running good. I feel confident that if I have an issue with my truck I can call Luke anytime and he’s going to help me all he can. Lots of other shops are out there but as long as I own this diesel These guys will be my go too! Thanks Luke and Hunter for all your hard work to get me going again.
