About the workshop

Specialists, not generalists

Refined Diesel Mechanical is a Vasse workshop serving Busselton and the surrounding area, specialising in diesel and 4WD repairs and upgrades.

The owners

Locally owned, family operated

Meet Ben and Tammy, the team behind Refined Diesel Mechanical, bringing over 20 years of automotive and diesel industry experience, hands-on expertise and a commitment to customer care.

Having built, raced and driven our own 4WDs, we understand what drivers expect from their vehicles. This real-world experience shapes our approach, allowing us to provide practical, tailored recommendations for every customer.

Every tune is developed and tested on our in-house Mainline dyno, combining proven knowledge with precise diagnostics and a methodical approach to achieving reliable results.

How we work

Diagnose first, then fix

We don't throw parts at a problem. Our process starts with proper diagnostics so we understand the cause before we quote the fix.

  1. 1

    Listen & inspect

    Understand the symptom and inspect the vehicle before anything else.

  2. 2

    Diagnose

    Use proper diagnostic tools and process to find the real cause.

  3. 3

    Quote clearly

    Explain the work and the parts before you commit.

  4. 4

    Do the work

    Carry out the repair, service or tune to spec.

  5. 5

    Verify

    Confirm the fix — on the dyno where it matters.

All welcome

We work on all makes & models

Toyota LandCruisers are a familiar sight here, but we service and upgrade 4WDs and diesels of every brand. Bring yours in.
