Truck Servicing Whanganui

Servicing & repairs that keep trucks earning

Emmetts Truck Services is a heavy diesel workshop on Heads Road, Castlecliff — right next door to the VTNZ testing station. From routine servicing to major repairs, diagnostics, Certificate of Fitness (CoF) prep, after-hours breakdowns and NZI-approved insurance work, we look after Volvo, Kenworth, DAF, UD, Isuzu, IVECO, JAC and all other makes of commercial vehicle.

Heavy vehicle workshop

A workshop set up for big rigs

Our workshop provides heavy diesel servicing, truck repairs, diagnostics and maintenance for commercial vehicle operators across Whanganui and the wider region. We work on prime movers, rigids, trailers and everything in between.

Because we're a Southpac dealer, we back our workshop with genuine parts and factory technical support — so the job is done right the first time, and your truck spends more time on the road and less in the bay.
