Northside Diesel has expanded its offering. The specialist truck servicing, repairs and maintenance workshop – located in the Queensland suburb of Caboolture – is now providing tyre supply and fitment for trucks and trailers.
As Northside Diesel Director Michael Sage explained, the decision to expand into tyres was a natural progression that made perfect sense for the business.
It’s all about increasing convenience for Northside Diesel customers and helping to reduce downtime.
“Customers can now bring their trucks and trailers into our workshop and we do all of their tyres in one go,” Michael said.
“We were seeing a lot of vehicles come in with worn-out tyres, so after customers had work carried out here, they’d have to then take the truck and/or trailer somewhere else to get new tyres. Now they can have it all done in the one place. It’s more convenient for our customers and saves them a lot of time.”
Since Northside Diesel began offering tyre supply and fitment, along with tyre balancing, the business has quickly seen a surge in demand for these services.
Adding tyre services provides added convenience to Northside Diesel’s customers. Image: Northside DieselMichael has invested heavily in the latest equipment, including purchasing a new automatic tyre changing machine, and thoroughly training all workshop staff.
“All of our staff have been trained up on the tyre side, we have the right equipment and we have a great relationship with a local tyre supplier called Neta Tyres and Wheels,” he said.
“They’re located at Eagle Farm, about 30 minutes away, so we can have stock from them brought in twice a day. Malcolm is our accounts manager and rep. He’s fantastic in looking after us with back-up support and his tyre expertise – Malcolm has been in the tyre industry all his working life.
“Neta Tyres and Wheels is an Australian owned company, so we’re happy to be supporting them. We’ve visited their warehouse and it’s a really impressive space, with heaps of stock on hand. They also do four trips a day up this way, so that’s great for our supply too.”
Along with its more recent tyre service offering, Northside Diesel continues to provide expert maintenance and repairs to trucks of all makes and models. It is also the only service agent for Volvo, Mack and UD Trucks between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, ideally situated to cover the needs of the entire Moreton Bay region.
Michael and his wife Chris Sage took over Northside Diesel just over two years ago, and have been committed to improving and growing the business.
In that time, they’ve updated all their workshop equipment, updated and improved their internal practices, invested in workshop upgrades to improve workplace health and safety, and increased employee resources, including the introduction of their employment assistance program.
Northside Diesel’s workshop is situated on a one-acre site on Commercial Drive, Caboolture. It features 1000 square metres of undercover workspace.
The business caters to the needs of transport businesses of all sizes, from large scale national fleets to small and medium businesses, along with single truck owner operators – all with the same level of care and attention to detail.
Northside Diesel abides by its slogan, “Keeping You Moving” – getting trucks back on the road as quickly as possible, in order to minimise downtime.
