About Southland Fuel Injection & Turbocharging
Brian Dunick has owned SF&T since 1998 and has a team with over 100 years of mechanical experience between them. They are willing to share their knowledge and give advice. Brian says, "we treat people fairly and get them on the right track even if we don't get the business."
Brian and his team have the knowledge and expertise to solve just about any diesel, turbocharger or fuel injection problem. You can count on them to listen carefully, find out what's going on and then get it sorted.
Brian Dunick
Brian has been involved with heavy equipment since 1968. He has worked as a service manager and at the aluminium smelter looking after the mobile plant. Born and raised in Invercargill, Brian bought SF&T in 1998 and has never looked back. He really enjoys meeting and helping his customers.
For fun, Brian works on his vintage vehicles - a 1911 Renault, a 1929 Graham Paige and a 1928 Indian motorbike.
Donald Nelson
Donald Nelson has worked at Southland Fuel Injection and Turbocharger since the beginning. In fact, you could say he came as part of the sale when Brian bought the business in 1998.
He has been working with diesel engines for almost 50 years. Don likes that his job is interesting and challenging, because things are always changing.
Don is a motor racing nut. He likes to watch it and has raced grass carts and single seat motor cars. Don also has a soft spot for Gardner engines, which he considers to be highly efficient diesel engines used in vehicles, boats and trains.
Allan Faulks
Allan has been working at SF&T just over five years and has been a technician for 38 years. He does diesel fuel injection repairs and also works on turbochargers. He likes meeting all the interesting people that come in.
When he's not fixing things, he likes to go trout or sea fishing and duck hunting. He has been married to his wife Jo since 2001 and they have a cat and a dog they chase after.
Taylar Brown, Apprentice Mechanic
Taylar has always been interested in the way things work and finds a lot of satisfaction fixing things. He studied at Southern Institute of Technology before starting his apprenticeship at SF&T.
When he's not working, Taylar likes to ride motorbikes, do a little hunting and fishing or just about anything else as long as it's outside.
