Truck & Fleet Servicing in Wauchope
Welcome to BDM Heavy Vehicle Repairs! We are your trusted workshop for heavy and light vehicle repairs, servicing and inspections. Our broad range of services focuses on keeping your truck in great working order.
Truck Servicing
Light and heavy trucks need regular maintenance. Every manufacturer provides a recommended maintenance schedule for their vehicles. We follow the maintenance guidelines laid out by the government authorities as well as each manufacturer’s recommendations for maintenance.
Our mission is to make sure the truck you’re driving is as well maintained and efficient as possible. There’s no reason you should have to operate your heavy vehicle in anything other than peak condition. Visit our workshop in
Wauchope or book in a mobile service! We travel throughout Kempsey, Taree,
Port Macquarie and beyond.

Truck Repairs
We can perform any repair work your truck needs. All makes and models are welcome in our workshop for everything from a new battery to accident repair and warranty work.
As a service centre for Mack, Volvo and UD trucks and a WABCO service partner, we offer fast and efficient service. We’re not limited to working on these brands and tech, but we can offer exclusive warranty repairs and overnight sourcing of
genuine parts for each of these brands.
Fleet Servicing
If you lease or own a fleet of vehicles, we can manage your fleet maintenance and repairs. Our workshop has a mobile team that can come to your location and work on your fleet for regular servicing, preventative maintenance, annual inspections, repairs, upgrades and more.
Fleet servicing helps you get the most out of your investment. It reduces the operating cost of vehicles over time and improves reliability. By lowering the chance of breakdowns and problems on the road, our fleet maintenance service keeps your business going strong and produces better outcomes for you.
Working with us helps you ensure you’re meeting all required regulatory standards. We’ll assist you with annual roadworthiness and required safety certifications for your vehicles. If inspections bring up mechanical issues or compliance problems, we’ll work with your fleet to get it up to standard and improve efficiency.
Your fleet keeps your goods, people, services and assets moving where they need to be. Let us help you keep your fleet in top condition so you’ll never have to call for
emergency breakdown service.
Truck Inspections
We are authorised to perform annual roadworthy and safety inspections on trucks and cars of all types. You can bring the truck to our workshop during our open hours or make an appointment to get in when you want to.
Inspections are conducted annually. To ensure you’re always operating a vehicle with current registration, you can make an appointment months in advance at our workshop. If you have multiple vehicles that need to be inspected, or you need inspections for vehicles that aren’t road safe, you can set up an appointment for us to come inspect your equipment on-site.
We perform inspections for a number of different types of vehicles. Not only trucks and cars, but also cranes and caravans. Our inspections are performed in accordance with national standards for safety and roadworthiness, when applicable.
For vehicles that fail an inspection, we can perform repairs and clear defect notices. Even if your truck or vehicle as inspected elsewhere, we’ll perform another inspection after the work is finished and clear the defect notice once it meets the right standard.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is typically included in a truck service?
A standard truck service typically includes a thorough inspection and maintenance of key components to ensure the vehicle is safe and performing well. This may involve changing engine oil and filters, checking and topping up fluids, inspecting brakes, steering and suspension systems, testing battery and electrical systems, and assessing tyres and lights. For heavy vehicles, additional safety and compliance checks are usually carried out to meet legal requirements. Some services may also include roadworthy inspections and logbook servicing, depending on the age and use of the truck.
How often should trucks be serviced?
Service intervals for trucks depend on the make, model and how the vehicle is used. As a general rule, heavy trucks should be serviced every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometres, or at least every six months. Trucks used for long-distance transport, heavy loads or in challenging conditions may require more frequent servicing. Regular maintenance helps prevent mechanical failures, ensures safety compliance and extends the lifespan of the vehicle.
What are common truck repair issues?
Trucks are subject to significant wear and tear, leading to common repair issues such as brake failures, engine overheating, transmission problems, electrical faults and suspension wear. Other issues include leaking fluids, steering difficulties, and tyre damage. Regular servicing and preventative maintenance help identify these problems early, reducing the risk of breakdowns and costly repairs. If left unchecked, minor issues can quickly become major mechanical failures.
