About Wicked Diesel

 Welcome to Wicked Diesel — your friendly,
no-nonsense diesel repair and performance shop in Bedford, Virginia.

We were founded in 2014 by a Ford Master
Certified technician who saw a need for a true dealership alternative: the same
(or better) service, done in a timely manner, at a competitive price. Our
mission is simple — provide Bedford and the surrounding communities with
top-tier diesel repair and maintenance expertise.

 We’re proud to be small enough to know you
by name but equipped and experienced enough to handle the diesel automotive
needs of our region. Over the years, our customers have helped to improve our
reputation as Bedford’s go-to diesel service and repair facility.
