From the workshop floor

Word gets around.

“Took me Hilux in (GUN126) for a tune and mate, she absolutely rips now. Went from 177hp to 215hp and torque's up from 450 to 530nm. Top bloke, straight shooter, couldn't be happier.”

“Jesse at DSM helped us out and got us back on the road again when we needed it the most after we ended up in a floodway and waterlocked the engine on our way through town on a weekend. Legendary service and a very nice guy. Highly recommended.”

“Big thank you to Jesse! Being stuck at the service station for 5 hours in 45 degree heat & exhausting all avenues we were recommended to call Jesse. He knew straightaway what the issue was & we were back on the road within an hour. Can't thank him enough!”

“Big thank you to Jesse for helping me back in January when my Mazda BT-50 broke down. He went above and beyond to look for the part, great service and good price considering the effort! Definitely recommend.”

“I cannot praise DSM highly enough. I put AdBlue in my campervan thinking it was diesel. It was midday on a Saturday. I contacted DSM (had been given their card) and Jesse offered to open his workshop. He worked painstakingly on the van for 4 hours and got it back on the road. Great expertise and kindness – a remarkable combination. Thanks Jesse.”
