Our story

Van people.
Business people.

Family-run, straight-talking and here for the long haul.

Exeter Diesels since 1996

Built on repeat business, not quick sales.

Exeter Diesels is a family-run business providing specialist sales and service for diesel commercial vehicles. Every van is history checked and supplied with a minimum six-month RAC warranty, subject to terms and conditions.

With over 30 years in the industry, our experienced team helps customers find the right vehicle and stays available for aftersales support. That personal approach is why so much of our business comes from recommendations and returning customers.
