Blantons Diesel & Auto Service

Crazy how fast 2 months has went already! Sorry to the ones that follow me on here, as I have slacked with some updates and pictures. I've been pretty busy with big jobs and trying to squeeze in the little ones as I can. Im not a huge social media person, but I will try to update and post more as I go. Rather its the diesel side of things, the hotrods I have come through or even my personal builds that I have going on as well.

I appreciate everyone that calls or stops by the shop! As always, when you call the shop, please make sure to LEAVE a voicemail so I can get you called back in a timely manner! 812-329-1096

Happy Monday Morning!

Just wanted to let everyone know that we are BACK and rolling into things here at the NEW LOCATION. 282 Shawswick School Rd.
I appreciate all the phone calls and the patience that goes along with us being closed. Its been tough with our phone lines being messed up but we have overcame that problem and we are rolling! I will be going through voiemails and getting people called back in the next few days. Thank you all again for the patience!!

Good Wednesday Morning!!

Its been brought to my attention that we are experiencing some issues with our vociemail/phone. We have switched providers. I am currently away from the shop this week and we will be back in full swing in just a few short days. MONDAY APRIL 1ST! Thank you all for the patience and if you are able to leave a voicemail, then do so. Thanks and have a great day.

Shop moving update:

The last 2 days we absolutely kicked ass. We got all 3 lifts down, transported and back up! No damage, no smashed body parts and several good laughs.

Huge shout out to: Brian East, with East Industries for helping out as always with my lift needs and questions. Brian has and will ALWAYS be my go to guy on these lifts. Special thank you to Ross Johns for the extra pair of hands and Mikels Signs with assistance on moving the big 4 post lift! It all worked out great!

Happy Monday Morning!

Just another reminder post that I will be closed the rest of the month to get things moved to the new shop location and everything all set. I will be re-open Monday, April 1st. PLEASE leave a VM when you call in because I will be in and out of the shop. I am currently taking appointments for the week of Monday April 8th. Again, I greatly appreciate all my loyal customers as I make this change over!!

Just a REMINDER:
This is our last week open at our current 14th St. location. We will be closing for the month of March to get things moved over and organized at our new location. Our phone line will still be up and running if you want to get on the schedule for April, please call (812-329-1096) and leave a VOICEMAIL. We will be in and out but will return phone calls when we can!

Thanks so much for your patience!

From last Sunday's floor post to this Sunday's framing post! Little room is all framed and I'm ready to start back on the metal! More progress pics to follow!

ATTENTION CUSTOMERS!!

Let me start off by ending a rumor Ive heard.
NO, I AM NOT CLOSING THE SHOP INDEFINITELY!!!!
I had a goal to build a new shop at the house before I bought the 901 14th St location. In the last 3 years, things have turned in my favor and now I am getting the chance to achieve this goal!

So, with that being said, Thursday February 29th will be my LAST DAY OPEN at the shop in TOWN. I will be taking the month of March off to get everything taken down and moved to the new shop. Our phone WILL still be in use so, PLEASE leave me a voicemail if I do not answer as I will be in and out of the shop. To the ones that can wait, i will be taking appointments at this time for April. My goal is to be set up and ready for a GRAND REOPENING, Monday April 1st.

New location, 282 SHAWSWICK SCHOOL RD

Thank you to all my loyal and valued customers!

Shop Talk: The cold weather is upon us as we all dread not having the Sunny and 75* days. Cold months are followed by hard starts from many of reasons. Let us change that fuel filter that you've been putting off with a fresh one. Factory, FASS or AirDog, we have those ready for you as well. Don't let gelled fuel or the lack of maintenance be a cause. We keep a full line of Hotshot's Secret supplies in stock! Need more then one, no problem, we can get cases for what you want/need pretty quickly! Stop by the shop for all your winter fuel needs! 901 14th Street.

Just a reminder: We will be CLOSED Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th. Everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Well.... What more can I say. This new building turned out great! Ben @ Yoder's Concrete & Construction did a fantastic job on putting the pieces together on this one. Ben and his group were also the ones that did the current shop in town, also!!

Now, we have a couple great local companies coming in the next few weeks to get the building insulated and some heat!

Stay tuned!!!

Good Morning! I will be opening up shop late this morning. I'll be out at the new shop location doing concrete. Leave a VM and I'll get ya called back asap! Thanks!

Photo dump of the new shop: sorry ive been slackin' and busy at night. This is up to lastnight.

Long Post Ahead:

Some know and some have heard about it, so lets have "Shop Talk" tonight.

I started Blanton's Diesel & Auto Service LLC at the house PART time out of the first shop Dad and I built when i was working FULL time. Things got busier then expect and I was ready to expand and go FULL time with my dream in life. At this time, the land I wanted to purchase for this expansion wasnt avaliable, so we decided to find a building in town till the chance was there. Fast forward till just about this time last year and we got that chance to buy the property I was wanting to build my new shop on. Time goes by and some decisions were discussed and I am going to fulfill my ORIGINAL GOAL of building on this said property we purchased. So, within a few short days, my building at 901 14th Street in town Bedford will becoming FOR SALE!

The guys from Yoder Concrete & Construction are working their tails off to wrap up the structure of the new shop LOCATED 6 miles from the current shop at 282 Shawswick School Rd. Bedford, IN.

Although, this has been a tough decision to leave the in town side of things but i simply need more shop space for the Diesels that i work on. The shop in town is great but as the size and amount of diesels I work on grows, i need to grow as well.

There will be more posts made and updates when this will all take place. Im not done, im just growing and this is what needs to be done. Thank you all for understanding!!

I will be out of the shop today 7/26. Please call and leave me a VM. I will return your call Thursday Morning. Thanks and have a great day!

Busy weekend and finally a little time to post.

1st Saturday morning project, we finally got Aubrey's '53 International R160 in its final resting spot. We've had this truck close to 3yrs now and it's been all over the yard. This is on the new piece of property and serves as a property marker!

2nd Saturday afternoon project we finally got the 2 post lift stood up in place and fastened. Some final electrical work and tweaking on the lift and we will have all sorts of outside projects!!!

Shout out to Ross Johns Johns Excavating LLC for the dump truck loads of stone for all my weekend projects!!

Good Morning!! Looking for a place to advertise on the East Side of town off of I Street with the traffic that doesn't go through town? Let us display your company or any advertising that you want on this sign! Call us today for pricing and to get on the board! 812-329-1096

Good Morning, if you call the shop PLEASE make sure and leave a voicemail with a brief description of what you're needing. Aubreys been out of the office and taking care of the kids. Yes, im behind on phone calls. Please be patient! Thanks and have a great day!

Public Service Announcement:

Trying to clear some things up and let our customers know.

We DO NOT offer any services to delete your diesel vehicles and/or tuning. We only offer OEM and OEM style parts to fix the customers issue or problems that they are having with the vehicle at the time. I.E. EGR Coolers, EGR Valves, DEF Issues, DPF Issues and any other emmisons related issues.

We try our hardest around here to give the best service in the area on all diesels that we can. We all know we want a deleted truck but this time in society just doesnt allow us to right now. So, please understand that when i say "No" when you call in, that there is a reason behind it.

Thanks, Tyler.
