feedback that fuels us

We’ve been using Reid Diesel Services for 1.5 years now and we’ve been very impressed. They carry out all our servicing and repair tasks on our 4 trucks, 3 x chippers, 4 loaders, an excavator, crane etc – there’s very little they can’t do. The owner Matt is an excellent communicator, fast to respond and keeps detailed records of all work performed. He’s an earthmoving specialist, who can do auto-electrical work and also an excellent welder / fabricator. Most importatly he takes pride in his work and the workmanship is of a very high standard with no short cuts taken. Highly recommended!
