Company Overview

Country Diesel Maintenance is a heavy diesel and specialist vehicle workshop in Alice Springs, in the heart of Central Australia. We keep the trucks, machinery and fleets this region runs on — from heavy diesel and agricultural equipment through to modern electric fleet vehicles. As an authorised dealer and service agent for [Hino, Massey Ferguson, Spitwater and Tough Dog], we back our work with genuine parts, manufacturer training and dealer-standard servicing. The team runs on modern systems — Fullbay job management and Podium customer communication — and one standard we hold in every bay: Clean Bench, Clear Mind. Do it once, do it right, and leave the job better than you found it. We’re a tight, capable team a long way from the nearest capital, which means we back our own judgment and take real pride in getting people moving again. This suits someone who wants variety, genuine responsibility, dealer-backed training and the Central Australian lifestyle — not someone looking to be one anonymous face in a big-city shop. If that sounds like you, we’d like to hear from you.
