​

This warranty is in alignment with current Australian Consumer Law (ACL), Australian Consumer Complaints Commission (ACCC) Guidelines and Fair Work Australia Guidelines and does not replace those consumer rights contained within these laws.

​

RMDTS team is committed to providing quality workmanship and value for money, mechanical services that you can trust.

With over 40 years’ experience as a Heavy Vehicle Diesel Mechanic Rodney has an expanse of knowledge. Rod would like customers to understand the reality that when working on older vehicles other issues unrelated to the job at hand are often encountered.

​

In Rods 40 years of working on all things diesel, he has come to know that once you start work on a vehicle with 200,00km or over , or 20 years or older, you can uncover a number of hidden issues. Often these vehicles will leave the workshop with the initial mechanical issue repaired only to present another issue, unrelated to the original repair – and so it starts – what can be the never ending headache of owning an older vehicle.  

 

While older vehicles can be great reliable vehicles, better the devil you know, they can also become costly as the KMs add up. Vehicles break down over time and KMs travelled, from a range of issues related to ongoing wear and tear – such as vibration, heat, humidity, yielding, stress corrosion, fracture, fatigue, buckling and stress cracking.

​

Even the best serviced vehicles will have issue with age and use.

​

Due to these potential issues RMDTS Warranty is limited on vehicles 20 years or older OR with 200,000 Kms or over.

​
