Heavy Machinery Maintenance and Repairs Done Right: Here's How We Keep Equipment at Peak Performance

Heavy machinery maintenance and repairs isn’t just a service—it’s a safeguard against disaster in WA’s toughest terrains and most demanding industries. When the stakes are this high, performance isn’t optional; it’s essential. That’s where Diesel Repairs Direct WA (DRDWA) comes in.

Backed by a team of qualified tradespeople and a fleet of mobile service units, we’re proud to be the partner of choice for businesses that rely on heavy-duty and fleet vehicles daily. From the red dust of the Pilbara to the highways stretching out of Perth, we ensure machines keep moving—because when they stop, so does everything else.


Built for WA, Backed by Experience

Founded with a clear mission to provide quality, dependable mechanical support for WA’s toughest sectors, Diesel Repairs Direct WA was established by industry professionals who understood what businesses really need—fast turnaround, expert service, and zero downtime.

Backed by a skilled team of HD fitters with OEM experience, DRDWA has earned an established client base in the Pilbara, Goldfields, Great Southern, Gascoyne and South West regions. Our technicians are more than just mechanics—they’re collaborative, solutions-focused experts committed to keeping your operations running at peak performance.

We’re fast, mobile, and equipped to handle breakdowns wherever they happen—minimising downtime and getting your operations back on track.

No two fleets are the same. That’s why we tailor schedules and services to your operations, helping extend lifespan and performance.

4. Labour Hire & Project Support

Need boots on the ground? We provide qualified HD fitters, RT mechanics, LV mechanics, boilermakers, and sparkies to meet your specific needs—whether for short-term shutdowns or long-term projects.

5. Road Transport Servicing

Our Road Transport Division supports logistics clients with ongoing maintenance and emergency response services across WA. See more information below.

At DRDWA, we operate 24/7 because your business doesn’t stop—and neither do we.

Road Transport Division: Supporting Heavy Haulage Across WA

With a dedicated Road Transport division now in place, DRDWA continues to scale its service offering across Western Australia. Our team of heavy haulage mechanics delivers breakdown response, general maintenance and fleet servicing support tailored specifically to the needs of the road transport sector.

Whether you’re managing a single hauler or a large interstate fleet, we understand the pressure of logistics—and we’re here to minimise your downtime.

New Milestone: Opening in Karratha

In response to growing demands in the north, DRDWA is proud to announce the opening of our newest branch in Karratha—a strategic move that enhances our ability to serve the mining, construction and transport industries across the Pilbara.

From our Karratha and Mandurah branches, we now offer even greater regional coverage and faster response times, whether it’s urgent breakdown assistance or long-term fleet support. The Karratha branch delivers the full spectrum of our services, including:

  • Labour hire solutions and shutdown coordination
  • Fleet servicing and preventive maintenance
  • Breakdown response and repairs
  • Rental solutions
  • 4x4 accessories, maintenance and rebuilds

Our tradespeople are ready to meet the compliance and safety standards of WA’s largest operators.


Hands-on, Industry-Ready

Our people are our power. We maintain a crew of RTIO, BHP, FMG, and Clough-inducted trades who meet the compliance standards of WA’s largest operators. From shutdown coordination to rebuilds, we’re equipped for any scale of job.

On the Ground: Real Projects, Real Results

Take DRD51, for example—our crew was tasked with an engine change-out for a key client in the Pilbara. With minimal downtime and precision execution, our team handled the job efficiently, ensuring the machine was back to work as quickly as possible. See the photo above for reference.

Then there’s DRD45, where Fitter Harley was on-site for a crushing project in the Pilbara. Its presence is part of a broader mechanical support strategy tailored for this specific operation—one way we embed ourselves into our clients’ workflows to provide consistent, on-the-ground expertise.

And when it comes to end-of-project servicing, our team completed repairs and an off-hire inspection on a D10 Dozer. These inspections are critical, especially for high-value plant and equipment. We make sure everything is in top condition before it's returned, resold, or re-hired—because detail matters, especially at the end of a project.

Here are some photos of other projects we’ve done:

These are just a few examples of how DRDWA shows up for our clients across Western Australia. From week-long assignments to major mechanical rebuilds, our team’s experience and commitment ensure your operations keep moving—safely, smoothly, and without costly delays.
