ABOUT US

Originally established in 1965 as Ariah Park Motors and Engineering in South West NSW, our workshop has evolved through decades of growth and innovation. After moving to Wollongong in 1970, we became Russell Vale Auto Repair and Diesel Tune, expanding into diesel diagnostics and performance tuning.

 

By the 1980s, our focus shifted toward turbocharging, developing custom kits for petrol vehicles and soon after for diesel passenger and commercial applications. As demand grew, we relocated to larger premises and rebranded as Turbo Glide Diesel Tune, quickly becoming known for our expertise in diesel turbo systems and early adoption of chassis dyno tuning for emissions control and power gains.

 

In 2024, Turboglide entered an exciting new chapter. After decades of dedicated service, John retired, passing the torch to long-time team member Michael. With over 30 years of hands-on experience at Turboglide, Michael brings a wealth of mechanical expertise, deep industry knowledge, and a strong commitment to customer satisfaction.

 

To reflect this transition and a renewed focus on comprehensive automotive care, the business was renamed Turboglide Automotive Services. Under Michael’s leadership, the workshop continues to deliver the high-quality workmanship customers have come to trust, while also introducing fresh approaches and updated technologies to meet the evolving needs of modern vehicles.

 

As specialists in turbocharged and diesel vehicles, Turboglide Automotive Services has built a strong reputation for expert diagnostics, repairs, and performance tuning. From passenger cars to light commercial vehicles, Michael and the team have the knowledge and tools to handle even the most complex turbo and diesel systems with precision.

 

Whether it’s routine maintenance, engine diagnostics, complex repairs or turbocharger overhauls, Turboglide Automotive Services is committed to keeping your vehicle running smoothly — with the same honest service and attention to detail that has defined the workshop for decades.
