“I’ve had a great experience with Parkway Diesel. It’s rare to find a shop that is this transparent and trustworthy. They are reliable, reasonably priced, and they really take the time to explain what’s going on with your vehicle.”

“The best diesel repair shop on Vancouver Island! One and done shop, simply the best.

We have a 2012 Hino that had been plagued with ongoing issues including black smoke, repeated DPF issues, and an underboost problem. After spending over a month at the Hino dealership in Victoria, along with visits to several shops around Nanaimo and thousands of dollars in repairs, we still had no answers.

We were referred to Parkway, and from the moment they took our truck in, we knew it was in the right hands. They knew immediately what was wrong and within just a few days, they diagnosed everything and fixed every issue. Our truck is now running better than it has in a very long time.

The communication throughout the entire process was outstanding, and their knowledge, professionalism, and expertise were second to none. It’s rare to find a shop that genuinely cares about solving the problem instead of just replacing parts.

We can’t recommend Parkway highly enough. If you’re looking for an honest, knowledgeable, and reliable diesel repair shop, this is the place to go!”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the hourly shop rate for heavy-duty truck mechanics in Nanaimo? +
Commercial truck repair shop rates in Nanaimo typically range from $135 to $190+ per hour depending on shop equipment, mobile call-out requirements, and engine specialization.
How often is a commercial truck safety inspection required? +
Most commercial trucks, tractors, and trailers require an annual provincial safety inspection (CVIP), while buses and certain passenger-carrying commercial vehicles require semi-annual inspections.
Can you keep driving a commercial truck in derate mode? +
No. Engine derate mode reduces power and speed to prevent severe engine or emission system failure. Pull into the nearest qualified truck repair facility to clear the underlying fault code safely.
Do heavy-duty shops offer mobile roadside truck repair? +
Many truck repair facilities offer mobile service trucks for roadside air brake, electrical, coolant hose, and forced-regeneration repairs, typically charging a call-out fee plus hourly labour.
