 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is now the second time I’ve used Sunshine Coast Diesel Tuning, and once again Ben has saved me a heap of money and done an awesome job.

My cooling system was being pressurised by exhaust gases. I’d taken it to another mechanic and was quoted around $1,500 for a new EGR cooler, or potentially around $5,000 if it turned out to be the head.

I called Ben and explained what was happening. He told me to bring it in and said he was confident he could fix it for around $500.

Picked the car up yesterday — problem completely fixed and the bill was $500, exactly as he said.

Ben really knows his stuff. What I appreciate most is that he actually diagnoses the problem properly instead of just throwing expensive parts at the car.

After using him twice now, I wouldn’t take my car anywhere else for diesel tuning, upgrades or this type of work.

Highly recommend Ben and Sunshine Coast Diesel Tuning. 👍

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend SCDT! Met Ben today, absolute great bloke who really knows his stuff. Very knowledgeable, professional and easy to deal with. Did a fantastic job on the Next Gen Ranger and couldn’t be happier with the service and results. Definitely worth the trip. Thanks again, Ben!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just had a tune done on my Next Gen V6 Ranger.  The results far exceeded my expectations with both torque & fuel economy.  I did not expect the change to be so great especially when not towing.  This was the main reason I had the upgrade.  I would recommend anyone who wishes to have a upgrade to come  and have it done here.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Took my VW Transporter in to Ben for a tune and couldn’t be happier with the result. Ben was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything properly, rather than just chasing big numbers.

The van has noticeably more power and torque and feels much better to drive, while still keeping the tune sensible and reliable. I particularly liked that Ben was focused on a smooth torque curve and the long-term reliability of the vehicle.

Communication was excellent, the service was professional, and you can tell Ben takes pride in his work.

Highly recommend  to anyone looking for a quality tune. Thanks Ben!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ben at Sunshine Coast diesel tuning just carried out an ECU ReMap, upgraded intercooler and exhaust on my 2025 Next Gen Ranger. He was great to communicate with and worked in with my busy schedule. I’m very happy with the work he done on my Ute. After reaching out to multiple companies to get the work done on my Ute I’m very happy that I chose Sunshine Coast diesel tuning. Keep up the good work mate
