That depends on the age of your truck, how often it's used, and the kind of loads it’s hauling. As a diesel specialist, we recommend regular diesel maintenance every 10,000–15,000km for most trucks. If you're not sure, we’re happy to advise based on your schedule and fleet.

Our A, B and C options are designed to provide varied levels of service depending on your needs.

Service A is a basic check-over and fluid top-up.
Service B includes a full oil and filter change, inspections, and adjustments.
Service C is a more detailed service, including drivetrain and brake inspections.

We can help recommend the best option based on your vehicle and usage.

There are a few signs your brakes need to be looked at by a professional. Squealing, vibration when braking or a soft brake pedal are some of the most common.
