The Importance of Certifications for Heavy Diesel Mechanics
Pursuing industry-recognized certifications can significantly boost a heavy diesel mechanic's career prospects and earning potential, but what exactly do they entail?
Too many diesel owners get hit with unnecessary upsells, rushed jobs, and a bill that makes no sense.
At Willy’s Workshop, we do logbook servicing differently. No rip-offs, no shortcuts—just expert servicing that keeps your diesel running at peak performance, extending its lifespan, improving fuel efficiency, and keeping your warranty intact.

Sluggish performance
If your diesel’s feeling sluggish off the line, struggling to overtake, or just doesn’t have the kick it used to, it’s a sure sign it’s time for a service.
At Willy’s, we’ll pinpoint the cause – whether it’s a clogged fuel filter, a weak turbocharger, or dirty injectors – and fix it right. Using advanced diagnostic tools and targeted repairs, we’ll restore that lost power, ensuring your engine runs as strong as it did when you first turned the key.
Diesel guzzling more fuel than usual
Noticing more trips to the pump? A diesel drinking more fuel than usual is a sign something’s off. It could be clogged air or fuel filters, worn-out injectors, or even a faulty turbocharger.
At Willy’s, we’ll get to the heart of the problem and make sure your car’s running like it should. From replacing filters to cleaning injectors and optimising fuel delivery, we take all the necessary steps to save you money at the pump and keep your diesel in top condition for the long haul.
Hard starts or rough idling
If your diesel stumbles to start or idles like it’s having a tough time, don’t brush it off. It’s often a sign of bigger issues.
At Willy’s, we’ll identify the issue and take the right steps to fix it. Maybe your car needs a fuel system clean, parts replacing, or injectors fine-tuning. No matter the issue, we’ve got the expertise to diagnose and fix it fast, protecting the long-term health of your engine and getting you back on the road.
What is Logbook Servicing?
Logbook servicing is routine maintenance designed to keep your diesel running strong while meeting the manufacturer’s exact standards. It’s more than just a routine check. It’s about protecting your engine, keeping your warranty intact, and stopping costly issues before they start.
Stick to the logbook schedule, and you’ll catch small issues before they turn into big, expensive problems. Skip it, and you risk poor fuel efficiency, worn-out parts, and warranty hassles.
At Willy’s Workshop, we follow the book – but we don’t upsell or cut corners. We take pride in delivering expert and reliable servicing that keeps your diesel in top condition, saving you time, money and headaches down the road.

What our customers have to say
Great service very smart team got my dpf problem sorted on my ranger in no time thanks .
I wouldn’t bring my mower here after my experience. I came with my Ford Ranger after Ford dealer quoted me 3k for a new ECU arguably not covered under warranty. Andrew told me they need to do they own diagnostic which would cost $140 before proceeding which I agree too.Two days later I came to the shop to check on the progress to find out my car wasn’t there but at some auto election shop for further diagnostics. While waiting for my car I was told it’s definitely not ECU but crank shaft and timing belt not syncing and most likely I would need a new engine. Anthony sounded super confident about it. In 30 min wait my car arrived with a bill of $1485 from auto election diagnostics plus $140. After back and forth I refused to pay $1485 as no one called me to ask for permission for more advanced diagnostics. I ended up paying $140 for I don’t know what exactly, as they refused to give me any paperwork.In the end I took my car next day to different Ford Dealer who whin couple of hours found damaged crank sensor wire rubbing on diff hose. All got fixed under warranty.Imagine if I listened to Anthony and end up putting a new motor!! How many people accept their “diagnostic” and needlessly spends thousands of dollars.
We were both very impressed with the thorough diagnostic approach (not just with diagnostic equipment) but with searching physically ,to resolve the difficult problems with our vehicle, that had been looked at by other mechanics but unresolved.We very much appreciate the effort of Willy and Doug and their expertise.
