EDP Automotive is now offering Victoria, BC light-duty diesel truck owners an expanded range of specialized services as part of an effort to address Canada’s growing mechanic talent gap. The service enhancement comes as multiple industry reports indicate a significant shortage of qualified diesel mechanics across the country, affecting local businesses that rely on skilled technicians for fleet maintenance.

Data shows the current shortage is driven by several factors, including an aging workforce approaching retirement, high demand from the booming transport sector, and barriers to entry such as costly tools and demanding work conditions. Projections indicate the gap will continue to widen, as fewer young people enter the field compared to the growing need for technicians capable of maintaining modern, increasingly complex diesel vehicles.

A representative from EDP Automotive explained that the company is directly addressing this concern for business and fleet owners in Victoria and surrounding communities. “When something’s wrong, you need a shop that actually knows diesel engines inside and out, not a general mechanic guessing at your fuel system,” they said. “We’re pleased to bring our expertise to local fleet and vehicle owners looking for qualified specialists in Powerstroke, Duramax, and Cummins diesel engines.”

The Victoria-based shop offers comprehensive services delivered by a team of certified diesel mechanics. Among these is thorough engine diagnostics, where technicians use advanced diagnostic tools to accurately identify issues and recommend effective solutions.

EDP Automotive’s team is experienced in diagnosing and addressing common issues across all major diesel engine platforms. For example, for Ford Powerstroke engines, the shop handles a range of generation-specific problems that frequently affect the 6.0L, 6.4L, and 6.7L models, including injector issues that can cause rough idling and poor fuel economy.

The shop also services GM Duramax and Ram Cummins platforms, addressing issues such as injector failure, CP3 fuel pump conversions, EGR and DPF failures, faulty lift pumps, and turbo actuator problems.

“Building on decades of automotive repair experience, we now bring that same commitment to excellence to our specialized diesel services, specifically for light-duty trucks and 4x4s,” the representative added.

In addition to Victoria, EDP Automotive provides diesel repair services to nearby areas, including Oak Bay, Langford, Saanich Core, Esquimalt, and View Royal.
