Est. 1984

When Gary Woods left a large engine dealership to start his own, he wanted a business that offered solid workmanship, affordable options, and an alternative to the “replacement world” all too often seen in the repair business. 

He built KNW Diesel into a service company known throughout BC for providing industry-wide expertise and high-end service that costs less than new. 

Nolan Woods and Ryan Watson, lifelong friends and fellow mechanics, had just begun a new era in 2015 as KNW Diesel’s joint owners when Gary suddenly passed away. Since then, Nolan and Ryan continue to expand the shop’s reach into the marine, heavy-duty machinery and truck industries, sign new parts dealerships, and lead a tight-knit team of veterans who can fix anything.
