About Us
Welcome to Southside Diesel Repair, your trusted partner for heavy-duty diesel repair in Augusta, GA. Founded in 2023 by Tony Slantis, a former truck driver with 33 years of experience on the road, our shop has quickly become the go-to heavy-duty diesel repair shop in the region.
Our Story
Tony’s journey from a long-haul trucker to a dispatcher, and ultimately an entrepreneur, is at the heart of our company's ethos. After witnessing firsthand the inflated prices and often awful customer service at truck stops and repair shops, Tony was driven by the desire to create something different in the industry. This led to the birth of Southside Diesel Repair, with a clear mission: to offer quality diesel repair services that are honest, fair, transparent, and carried out with a smile on our faces.
Joining Tony in this venture is Stephen, a co-owner who continues to work as a night-time driver. With 30 years in transportation, Stephen's practical insights and calm, intelligent approach significantly contribute to our success. The bond between Tony and Stephen, forged at a former employer, forms the backbone of our business philosophy.
At Southside Diesel Repair, we pride ourselves on our unique approach to business. Our facility features three fully equipped bays and three mobile units, manned by three highly skilled technicians. But it's not just our state-of-the-art equipment that sets us apart. It's our people and how we treat them.
