What is the Glow Plugs all about?

Diesel fuel is self-igniting under pressure. However, very cold temperatures can prevent ignition. This is where glow plugs come into play. Unlike spark plugs, which create an arc of electricity, glow plugs preheat the cylinder so the fuel can ignite more easily. The electrode heats up, glowing like the filament in an incandescent light bulb, and provides the necessary assistance to ignite the diesel fuel.

Keep in mind:

Removing glow plugs from many vehicles can be difficult and labor intensive.

How it's done:

The vehicle battery is disconnected
The defective glow plugs are removed
The new glow plugs are installed and wiring is connected
The battery is reconnected
The glow plug system is checked for proper operation and the vehicle is road tested for proper operation

Our recommendation:

The glow plugs will eventually fail and require replacement, though not at any specific interval. It may be necessary to replace the wiring harness, the glow plugs, and the relay that controls the glow plugs. In some vehicles, the relay actually fails more often than the glow plugs. If you suspect a problem with the glow plugs on your diesel engine, have one of our expert mechanics inspect and replace them as necessary.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Glow Plugs?

Hard/slow starting in cold weather
Not starting in cold weather (barring battery or other equipment failure)
More smoke than usual when starting (exhaust)
Misfire on a cylinder until the fuel warms up enough

How important is this service?

Glow plug replacement isn’t like replacing spark plugs, and some diesel owners can go for 100,000 miles or more without changing them. The relays fail more often than the plug, which is another reason it is very important to have the problem diagnosed by one of our expert diesel mechanics. This will ensure that you’re fixing the underlying problem, rather than just addressing symptoms, saving you time, money and headaches.

Chevrolet Blazer V6-4.3L - Check Engine Light is on - Graham, Washington

Couldn't have been better, unless of course he had of showed up with a six pak or something. OH! Robert was punctual, professional, personable, efficient, respectful, tidy and communicative. I knew everything he was doing and why because he communicated with me thw whole way. Why in the hell would anyone drive their car, or have it towed, to the nearest "rip off" shops, then get a ride home and pay $136.00 only to get sub par service when one can have Robert show up at your door? Hat's off to not only Robert for exceeding my expectations but also to the genius who started this business. Best part, other than the affordable rates and awesome Mechanic is......my baby is running great with that damn error code gone. Been driving all morning. Thank you so very much. P.s Appreciated the emails and the text's which kept me informed the entire way. 10 stars if you had it.

Chevrolet Blazer V6-4.3L - Alternator - San Diego, California

5 star all the way. It's easy to hire someone to change out a part or fix a specific issue, but what makes a real mechanic is being able to see whats really going on, trouble shoot it, fix what need to be fixed. Chris showed up early, installed a the part I needed, and then was able to find and fix a major issue with my electrical system within an hour.
