About Contact 1800 BIG RIG
// Our story

Grease under the nails, freight on the road

The Heavy Diesel & Big Rig was built by people who understand one thing above all: a parked truck doesn't pay the bills. Everything we do is aimed at keeping yours moving.

// Who we are

A truck workshop, not a car shop with a big door

We started out turning spanners on prime movers and never stopped. Where a lot of workshops dabble in heavy vehicles between cars, this is all we do — commercial trucks, trailers and fleets, day in and day out. That focus matters, because a forty-tonne combination is a different animal to a family car, and the operators who run them need a workshop that lives and breathes heavy diesel.

Over two decades we've grown from a single bay into a full heavy-vehicle operation: workshop, recovery and 24/7 mobile breakdown, all under one roof. Our technicians are heavy-diesel specialists across every major brand on the road, and we've invested in the diagnostic gear, the lifting equipment and the recovery fleet to back them up.

But the thing operators come back for isn't the equipment — it's the straight talk. We tell you what needs doing, what can wait, and what it'll cost before we touch it. We keep your records spotless. And when one of your rigs goes down at the worst possible time, we answer the phone and we roll.

// What we stand for

The way we run the workshop

Four things have never changed since the first truck rolled into the first bay. They're the reason operators trust us with their livelihood.

Uptime first

Every decision we make is judged against one thing: getting your truck back on the road, earning.

Fix it right

Quality parts, done to spec, tested under load. No bandaids, no comebacks, no shortcuts.

Straight talk

Honest advice and fixed quotes up front. We recommend what your truck genuinely needs — nothing more.

Records that stack up

Full digital service history on every job, ready for warranty, resale and accreditation audits.
