The assurance that quality genuine OEM parts will be readily available and in stock come service time isn’t something to be underestimated for any truck fleet manager, regardless of the size of the operation.

It’s certainly a key drawcard for Peter Grealy, seasoned mechanic and owner of Grealy Motors & Towing in Wodonga, who is a firm proponent of Isuzu Trucks and its Genuine Parts range — available for purchase from Isuzu’s country-wide dealer network and used by a gamut of independently-owned repair shops, Grealy included.

Peter has an old-school ‘hands-on’ view to his directorship, spending more time behind the wheel as a driver and on the tools in the mechanic’s workshop than at his office desk.

“The bit I appreciate the most about Isuzu Trucks is how parts are kept the same from ‘go to whoa,’” Peter says.

“As a mechanic I love that they’ve found their sweet spot with genuine parts, which they back up with their dealer network.

“I can service my 2000 model Isuzu F Series and put the same oil filter on it as I do the 2022 model.

“When Isuzu build something, I think they build it right, then they leave it alone,” he mused.

Parts consistency and reliability is vital for services such as the towing provided by Grealy Motors—given they’re driving to pick up vehicles that have broken down on the road.

The family-owned company has been providing their local community of Wodonga in Victoria with this professional towing and repair service for over 50 years.

They are an NRMA and RACV contractor, and on any given day, will be conducting emergency roadside servicing, towing breakdowns, assisting in accident recovery, and more.

Their mechanical servicing workshop and towing facility, also located in Wodonga, is supported by a mixed fleet, featuring 10 Isuzu trucks with a number of crew cab F Series and heavy-duty FY Series models specified with tilt-trays.

Grealy Motors’ drivers travel as far afield as Melbourne, Sydney, Wagga Wagga and Canberra, transporting all manner of vehicles from cars and tractors, cranes, and other heavy capital equipment for their clients.

“We offer transportation and delivery which keeps our wheels turning seven days a week,” Peter says, “We’re a one-stop, tow-shop.”
