About Us
An independent Wingfield workshop for heavy-truck mechanical work, concrete mixer repairs and emergency hydraulic recovery. Call the workshop to discuss the truck, the fault and the next practical step.
Talk to the Mechanic, Not a Middleman.
When you call the workshop, Garry answers. When your truck or mixer is up on the hoist, Garry's the one with his head in it. When you come to collect, Garry's the one who walks you through what he found and what it cost. There's no service advisor playing telephone between you and the bloke turning the spanners, which is the entire point.
That's a deliberate choice. Garry started the business because getting a truck or a mixer fixed had become a runaround: mechanical at one shop, mixer work at another, recovery somewhere else, brand lock-in pushing parts you didn't need, and days off the road waiting on a hydraulic hose that should have taken an hour. An independent, one-stop workshop fixes all of that, and a hands-on operator fixes the rest.
If you've been bounced between dealers and single-trade shops and walked away frustrated, this is the version that fixes those problems.
Why Adelaide Operators Choose Us
An independent, one-stop workshop for trucks and mixers stacks up differently to a dealer or a single-trade shop. Here's the side-by-side.
One-Stop Shop
Truck mechanical and mixer repairs handled in one place, so you’re not towing between workshops.
Truly Independent
Every make and model, honest advice, no dealer lock-in or brand bias.
Emergency Hydraulic Recovery
A mobile unit designed to turn and discharge a mixer drum when the main hydraulics fail, subject to access and availability.
Hoses Made In-House
Hydraulic hoses made at the Wingfield workshop to the specification required for the application.
Parts Matched to the Job
Oils, filters and components selected for the equipment, with brand and applicable warranty terms confirmed when quoting.
Planned Fleet Servicing
Discuss servicing intervals and staged workshop bookings around the way your fleet operates.
Multiple Workshops
Mechanical at one place, mixer work at another, recovery somewhere else, and you coordinate it all.
Brand Lock-In
Tied to one manufacturer’s line, so you get sold what’s on their shelf, not what your truck actually needs.
No Load Recovery
Hydraulics fail with a full drum and you’re on your own, watching the concrete set solid.
Waiting on Hose Suppliers
Ordering a hose externally can add another supplier step when the workshop could make the required hose in-house.
Generic Parts
Whatever’s cheapest from the catalogue, fitted by whoever happens to be free that day.
Truck Sits in the Queue
No fleet priority and no turnaround promise, just a spot in line and a truck off the road.
Where
We Work
We work with truck and concrete mixer operators across metropolitan Adelaide and regional South Australia. Call before travelling so the Wingfield workshop can discuss the fault, timing and parts; for a full drum with failed hydraulics, call the 24/7 breakdown line immediately.

Common Questions, Straight Answers
The Emergency Hydraulic Recovery Unit is designed to connect to a mixer with a failed pump or motor, turn the drum and allow the load to be discharged before it sets. Call the 24/7 breakdown line on (08) 7081 3155 immediately so the team can assess the location, access and availability; an outcome cannot be guaranteed in every situation.
Yes. We're a fully independent workshop, so we service every major truck brand, including Kenworth, Freightliner, Isuzu, Iveco, UD, Mack and Sinotruk, plus all makes and models of concrete trucks and agitators. No dealer lock-in means honest advice and the right fix for your equipment, not what a manufacturer tells us to sell.
Yes. Our emergency line is open 24/7. Call (08) 7081 3155 with the vehicle, fault and location so the team can confirm availability, response options and the safest next step.
Both. We have a fully equipped workshop at Wingfield for scheduled servicing and bigger jobs, and we provide mobile breakdown support, including emergency hydraulic recovery, when you can't get the truck to us.
Yes. Hydraulic hoses are made at the Wingfield workshop. Bring the failed hose or call with its specifications so the team can confirm the required fittings, pressure rating and availability.
Yes. That's the whole point of a one-stop shop. We handle truck mechanical repairs (engine, brakes, transmission, electrical, suspension) and the concrete mixer/agitator (hydraulics, drum, rollers, chutes, PTO) under one roof, so you deal with one team instead of three.
De-dagging removes hardened concrete build-up (“dags”) from drums, chutes and hoppers. The right interval depends on use and build-up, so ask the workshop to inspect the mixer and recommend a practical schedule.
We source hydraulic components, pumps, motors, rollers, bearings, chutes, oils and filters for trucks and concrete mixers. Brand, availability and any applicable supplier or manufacturer warranty are confirmed when quoting.
