The Bull Dog Diesel STORY..............
a
Bull Dog Diesel’s beginning started the spring of 2013 as a one man operation out of a service truck. Located in Northern Alberta our focus and passion was diesel engine repair. Our service was strictly mobile at this time, where on a daily basis we would travel from one customers location to another repairing issues that would normally be done at a dealership. Thus increasing customer uptime and productivity. As time went on the scope of repair increased and we began doing more in depth repairs at customer locations, such as engine overhauls, replacements, and machining. As industry in Northern Alberta decreased it was decided that it might be a good time to return to BC. Relocating the operation to the Okanagan proved to be challenging and incredibly competitive, but we powered though until the opportunity arose to relocate again, this time to Mackenzie, BC. The forest industry was booming and technicians were in short supply. Our start in Mackenzie was very similar to the one in Northern Alberta where we were primarily out of a truck, but it was evident that our service needed to be more than mobile, we acquired a one bay shop in town and added an apprentice to the roster. We instantly outgrew our 1 bay operation therefore another bay was leased which filled up with projects instantly. Busting at the seams another shop was needed. Which brings us to where we are today. 1150 Airport Rd. is a 3 bay facility, with offices, warehouse space, and enough parking for equipment and trailers.
The team now boasts 8 highly skilled and talented individuals. We have 3 heavy duty mechanics, 1 commercial transport technician, an apprentice, a tow truck driver, 2 office administrators (one being the owners wife) a 9 year old shop boy, and a 16 month old handful. We truly are a family run business embedded in the community, hiring local talent, and working with our neighbors.
