Dave Wilson, better known as Crazy Dave

Dave was born in Edmonton Alberta in 1953 and moved to Ontario in 1964. Starting as a mechanic at the age of 15 he also went on to drive transports across North America for 10 years. After years of hard work he obtained Class A Mechanic's Certification, which includes a Truck & Coach Certificate, and Service Certificate. He also earned an Advanced Auto Technician's Certificate and Advanced Welding Certificate.

Over the years Dave has designed many useful tools, the best by far being a custom built engine heater. This is used to get a frozen engine up to running temperature, and the vehicle on the road again. By cutting into the vehicles heater hose the engine heater is connected to the two lines and hooked to a 12 volt water pump. Dave then connects a tiger torch to the heat exchanger. By circulating the vehicles own anti-freeze through the exchanger, he can raise the temperature of the engine from -40 Celsius to running temperature in 30 minutes. With Dave's ingenuity and know-how he can fix anything to make it run.

When he decided he'd like to be his own boss he converted a 56 passenger bus to a mobile shop. This bus contains everything Dave may need to get you on the road again quickly. With that, a Class A-Z-M license, liability insurance, and bonding, he went on the road.
