Our Story
Serving local customers since 2017
Since 2017, we have proudly operated our heavy-duty repair and parts shop in Courtenay, BC, on Vancouver Island. Becoming the Traction Heavy Duty Parts regional dealer allowed us to better serve customers. We recently expanded our services into Alberta through Bradvin Trailer in Grande Prairie and TruckTexHD in Peace River.
We offer fast and reliable repairs, scheduled maintenance, 24/7 mobile service, and parts for vehicles and equipment across Western Canada. Our dedication to quality has made us a trusted partner for businesses of all sizes.


We’re Experts Who Can Handle Any Job
If you’re looking for a one-stop shop for fleet or individual vehicle maintenance and repair, you’ve found it. Our expert mechanics can fix any make or model of heavy-duty vehicle or equipment. Our clean and spacious shop can accommodate equipment of any size. We have a fleet of mobile repair trucks that provide roadside assistance 24/7, so you’re never stranded. With Traction heavy-duty parts, we have access to one of the largest inventories in Canada. And we are a Designated Inspection Facility. We’re equipped to keep you moving.

Our Commitment To Quality Customer Service
We know that every customer is different, so we don’t use a cookie-cutter approach. We offer fast, reliable service with the highest standards of workmanship to ensure you leave the shop with vehicles and equipment that is safe and ready to operate. To top it all off, we operate with extended hours to serve you at a time that works best for you. We let our service record stand for itself – customers come back to us because we do high-quality work at a fair price.
