About Us

Heavy Fleet Maintenance (HFM) was established by Liam Quinn after four years working as an in-house mechanic for local trucking and contracting company GCA Logistics.

Liam began at Williams & Wilshier, spending five years learning the trade before gaining further experience overseas in Canada. With a strong background in truck and trailer maintenance and repairs, Liam decided to branch out on his own and establish HFM in Gisborne.

Since then, the workshop has grown to a team of four, including Diesel Mechanic Marshall Jones, who began his career working on Pacific Haulage's 90-truck fleet before gaining further experience in Australia, and two apprentice diesel mechanics.

Together, the team brings years of hands-on experience in heavy diesel servicing and repairs, providing reliable workmanship and practical solutions for truck and trailer operators across Gisborne and the wider East Coast region.

Liam began his trade at Williams & Wilshier, where he spent five years building a solid foundation in heavy vehicle mechanics. After a stint in Canada, he joined GCA Logistics, contributing four years of hands-on work supporting a busy fleet. Combining that practical experience with his drive for quality service, Liam established HFM to deliver reliable, high-standard repairs and servicing for truck and trailer units across the Gisborne region.
