Marine Diesel Engine Services We Offer
Engine Diagnostics
Unusual sounds, power loss, rough running, or a warning light you'd rather not think about? Don't wait until a small issue becomes a big one. Our marine diesel diagnostic service uses current electronic diagnostic tools to find the root cause quickly and accurately. We'll give you a straight answer about what's going on — and a clear plan to fix it.
Engine Overhaul & Rebuilds
When your diesel needs more than a tune-up, our engine overhaul and rebuild service is the answer. From top-end work — cylinder heads, valves, and injectors — to full bottom-end rebuilds, we do it all in-house using quality parts sourced from authorized suppliers. A proper overhaul is often the most cost-effective long-term solution, and it gives you the confidence of knowing exactly what's been done to your engine.
Fuel System Service
Your diesel engine is only as good as the fuel system feeding it. We service and repair injectors, injection pumps, lift pumps, fuel filters, separators, and fuel lines for all major diesel brands. If you've noticed hard starting, rough idling, black smoke, or poor fuel economy out on the water around Vancouver, a fuel system service is often the first step toward a solution.
Cooling System Service
Overheating is one of the leading causes of serious diesel engine damage — and one of the most preventable. Our cooling system service covers raw water pumps, impellers, heat exchangers, thermostats, hoses, and freshwater circuits. We inspect, test, and replace components before they fail, so you're not caught offshore with a temperature gauge climbing into the red.
Winterization & Spring Commissioning
The waters around Vancouver are boatable much of the year, but proper engine care at the start and end of each season makes a real difference to your engine's longevity. Our diesel winterization service protects your engine, cooling system, and fuel system through the colder months. Our spring commissioning service puts everything back in order — fluids, belts, filters, zincs, and more — so your first launch of the season goes smoothly.
Serving Recreational Boaters, Fishing Vessels & Commercial Craft
From the Fraser River to the Strait of Georgia, we understand the demands of BC coastal boating and what your diesel engine needs to meet them. We proudly serve:
-
Recreational and pleasure boaters — reliable engines mean more enjoyable weekends
-
Fishing vessel operators — minimize downtime when every tide matters
-
Commercial boats and workboats — keep your operation on schedule
Why Vancouver Boaters Choose Us for Diesel Service
We combine factory certifications with real-world experience on BC's waters. Our technicians have seen it all — from simple service items to complex multi-system failures — and we bring the same level of care to every job regardless of size. You'll always know what we're doing, why we're doing it, and what it's going to cost before we start.
