About

Built by people who run trucks, for people who run trucks

Ronin Mechanical is part of the Ronin family on Vancouver Island — the same crew behind Ronin's trucking and earthworks operations and the RoninDrivers software that runs dump-truck businesses across Canada.

We started fixing our own iron because that's what operators do — and because we know, to the dollar, what a truck standing still costs. Ronin Mechanical is that operator's mindset turned into a service: mechanics who come to the vehicle, diagnose honestly, fix what's actually broken, and hand you an invoice you don't have to squint at.

The policies fall out of that mindset naturally. $130/hour, always, because emergencies shouldn't carry penalty pricing. Zero markup on parts, because advice you pay for shouldn't double as a sales channel. Book by text, because drivers on a shoulder don't need hold music — and because a written thread protects everyone. South of Duncan only, because a service area you can actually cover beats a map you can't.

What we stand on

  • Straight answers. If it can't be fixed roadside, you hear that first, not last.
  • Checkable honesty. Supplier receipts attached to every invoice.
  • Operator empathy. Pour windows, ferry cutoffs, harvest weather — we schedule like people who've lived them.
  • Local for real. The Malahat, Hwy 14 and the Keating district aren't abstractions to us — they're the commute.

The Ronin family

Trucking, earthworks, software — and now the mechanical service that keeps it all rolling. When you text Ronin Mechanical, you're dealing with island operators, not a call centre.
