Three generations of the Leimroth family — the original ‘Diesel Gurus’.
Reinhard Leimroth
Founder · Diesel Guru
Reinhard Leimroth was trained as a diesel technician by Robert Bosch in Germany in 1956. He has been working on diesels since that time and loves nothing more than to talk about diesel and share his passion with others. He was sent to Australia as a troubleshooter by Bosch in 1960 and was based in Sydney. His troubleshooting and specialist diesel skills meant that he travelled throughout the country to many unique places solving diesel problems that others could not — from getting large road-train trucks moving again in the central desert, to repairing large ship engines on Sydney Harbour and tuning Naval Patrol boats for increased performance. He was also manager of a large diesel workshop and pump room in western Sydney for many years before moving to the historic township of Berrima where he set up ‘Berrima Diesel Service’.
Andrew Leimroth
CEO · Turbo Specialist
Andrew Leimroth was born in 1968 and loved pulling things apart and putting them back together from an early age. He followed in his father’s footsteps and studied to become an automotive technician upon leaving school. He achieved national recognition awards during his mechanical studies and is Australia’s premier turbo installer, having personally fitted three turbos a week for the past 20 years. Andrew is now the CEO of AWDTech, the parent company of Berrima Diesel Service.
Trent & Baden Leimroth
Third Generation · Diesel Mechanics
Trent and Baden are Andrew’s sons and professional diesel mechanics — the third generation of the Leimroth family carrying on the Berrima Diesel tradition.
Reinhard and Andrew are the original ‘Diesel Gurus’, specialising in the ‘Black Art’ of diesel fuel injection and recognised worldwide amongst the 4WD community. With over 65 years combined experience, satisfied customers come from all corners of Australia and internationally. Once you’ve experienced the Berrima Diesel Service, you’ll find that owning and driving a diesel is no longer a chore — it’s a pleasure.
Next time you think Diesel — THINK BERRIMA DIESEL!
