Diesel Tech Australia (DTA) is a specialist in the sales and repairs of diesel fuel injection components. We are highly experienced in vehicle diagnostics and Common Rail injector testing, and we have our own line of turbochargers – the DTA Vortex Turbo – for a wide variety of vehicles.
Retief Nel, the CEO and manager of DTA, has been a qualified professional in his field for over 40 years. He founded both Diesel Tech and Turbo Power in Zimbabwe, where he recruited and trained over 65 employees, and rapidly became the go-to expert across the majority of Southern Africa.
Upon immigrating to Australia, Retief carried on with his Diesel Tech brand name and formed Diesel Tech Australia, bringing that skill set to Australia's diesel industry.
