Truck Repair
Truck repair mechanics service a range of heavy vehicles, especially light trucks, heavy trucks, semi trailers and road trains. Trucks are used on a commercial basis and therefore correct servicing, reliability and truck repairs are essential.
Truck repairs and service centres often supply fleet servicing, emergency parts and a range of other services. Truck parts for different makes are a consideration, and this can include simple parts for servicing to major truck repair such as diffs, engines and brake systems.
Trucks usually require extra heavy-duty parts and a team of reputable, skilled mechanics because of the strenuous and commercial nature of operations. A stranded truck can be costly to tow and replace, so it's essential to find the best truck mechanics out there for truck repairs.
Diesel Mechanic
Diesel mechanics are specialised tradespeople trained to work on diesel engines and a range of industry-specific equipment. Usually, a diesel mechanic will work on commercial vehicles, heavy vehicles such as trucks and semi-trailers or earth-moving/industrial machinery, such as excavators and tractors.
For a light commercial vehicle, such as a car or 4WD, most general motor mechanics can accommodate diesel servicing. Check with the mechanic before making a booking, and expect to pay a premium for diesel servicing. This is because oil for diesel engines is more expensive, and often diesel engines require extra servicing and more frequent services.
Diesels respond particularly well to turbo charging and combined gas injection because it increases the combustibility of the fuel. While diesel is as expensive (or more expensive) than petrol, diesel engines are typically know to be more fuel efficient and resistant to heavy use. In modern times, diesel engines depend heavily on fuel injection and microchips to improve performance and smooth operation.
If you have a light commercial diesel vehicle, check with your motor mechanic to see if they can accommodate your diesel servicing needs. For heavy commercial or industrial vehicles, seek a specialised diesel mechanic.
