Whanganui's heavy diesel workshop
Emmetts Truck Services — also known as Emmetts Service Centre — keeps trucks, fleets and campers moving across Whanganui and the wider region.
Trucks are all we do
Emmetts is a heavy transport, parts and service business that has kept commercial vehicles on the road for years. Our Whanganui branch on Heads Road brings that same workshop expertise to operators in the river city and beyond.
As part of the Southpac Trucks dealer network, we're the local agents for Volvo, Kenworth, DAF, UD Trucks and TRP. That means genuine parts, factory-backed knowledge and the ability to source almost anything through the network — combined with a hands-on local team you can actually talk to.
Beyond the workshop, we're here when things go wrong on the road — with breakdown call-outs including after-hours — and we're an NZI-approved repairer for accident and insurance work.
Whether it's a single ute-and-trailer operator, a full transport fleet, or a family motorhome, our goal is simple: we'll keep you moving.

Local to the river city
Based on Heads Road, Castlecliff — part of the Whanganui transport community.
From fleet rigs to fire appliances
We look after a huge range of heavy vehicles — line-haul trucks, tippers and trailers, emergency and specialist appliances, and diesel camper vans. If it runs a heavy diesel driveline, chances are we can service it.
People who know trucks
Our Whanganui branch is led by branch manager Wayne Wright, supported by a parts and workshop team who live and breathe heavy diesel. Drop in, give us a call, and you'll talk to someone who knows your truck.
