Generator brands we service
An independent generator workshop in Industrial Area 15, Sharjah, behind the Yerevan Steel Factory. Established 2011, over 25 years of experience, ISO 9001:2015 certified. We service, repair, overhaul and rewind diesel generating sets of most makes found in the UAE — on site across the emirates and in our own workshop.
We hold no brand dealership
Every manufacturer name on this page identifies equipment we work on. It implies no appointment, no authorisation and no affiliation — and we would rather say that in the first hundred words than leave it to be assumed. No manufacturer logos appear here for the same reason.

The badge on the canopy is the least useful fact about your set
Most generating sets are assemblies. The name on the enclosure often belongs to the company that packaged the set, not to the company that built the engine or the alternator inside it — an FG Wilson set runs a Perkins engine, an Onan set is a Cummins product, and a great many sets from a great many badges turn on a Stamford alternator.
The engine
Its own manufacturer, its own manual, its own parts route — and the plate that governs the service schedule.
The alternator
A different manufacturer again, with its own excitation system and AVR.
The control gear
The controller and panel, frequently a third manufacturer entirely.
And whether it can be machined
Whether the heavy components can be brought back to specification rather than only replaced. That is the question a badge never answers.
It is whether a workshop can work on that engine, that alternator and that panel. Tell us what is on the engine and alternator data plates rather than what is on the canopy, and you will get a far more useful answer.
Six brands with their own pages
Where the queries and the faults are brand-shaped
Other genset makes
No page each, because a page per badge would be fifteen thin pages
The work is the same and the enquiry route is the same.
| Make | Notes |
|---|---|
| Volvo Penta | Common in mid-size industrial and marine sets. Engine repair, overhaul and injection work, with the alternator and panel handled alongside. |
| Deutz | Air-cooled and liquid-cooled industrial engines. Older air-cooled families are exactly where machining beats sourcing a replacement. |
| Yanmar | Small industrial and marine sets, frequently found as the engine under other set badges. |
| Kubota | Small-frame industrial and marine gensets, including inside compact marine sets from other brands. |
| Mitsubishi | Industrial gensets across a wide range of frame sizes, and a common engine choice under other badges. |
| John Deere | Industrial genset engines in standby and prime applications, and a common marine genset engine. |
| Doosan | Industrial genset engines in mid and large frames, widely installed across the region. |
| SDMO | A packager rather than an engine manufacturer; the engine data plate governs the work. |
| Kirloskar | Common on sites and projects with South Asian supply chains. Engine repair, overhaul and injection work. |
| Himoinsa, Aksa, Denyo, JCB and other packagers | Set builders using bought-in engines and alternators. Identify the engine and alternator and the work follows. |
| MAN, MTU, Detroit, Wärtsilä | Larger industrial and marine installations, including auxiliary sets. Heavy component machining is the reason these arrive here. |
| Stamford, Leroy Somer, Mecc Alte, Marathon and OEM-badged alternators | The alternator end of most of the sets above — rewinding, diode and excitation work, AVR faults. See alternator repair and rewinding. |
It is still worth asking. What governs the job is the engine, the alternator and whether parts exist for them — not whether the badge appears on this page. Send a photograph of the data plates to jacob@abradiesel.com and you will get a straight answer.
Whatever the badge
What we actually do
Every generator service is listed on generator repair and service, and symptom-level diagnosis on generator troubleshooting.
Choosing between the two
Independent workshop, or the manufacturer's own network?
This deserves a factual answer rather than a sales one, and the answer is not the same for every set.
Use the manufacturer's network when
Warranty and policy govern
- The set is inside its manufacturer warranty period — work outside the network can affect that cover, and this is the one case where the answer is not close
- Your procurement policy requires manufacturer-supplied parts only, as some fleet, marine and FM policies do
- You need current factory tooling and technical bulletins as a matter of course
Use an independent workshop when
Cost, lead time and machining govern
- The set is out of warranty and the engine family is older
- Parts can be sourced more widely — genuine, quality aftermarket or a mix, with the quotation saying which is which
- A major component could be measured and machined back into specification rather than replaced
- Lead time is under real pressure and a component can be machined instead of ordered
Ask both, on the same terms
What will be measured before a price is given? Will the crankshaft and block be machined or replaced? What is the parts lead time? What evidence do you get at the end? Ask any workshop — this one included — what diagnostic tooling it holds for your specific engine and controller, and treat a straight answer as the qualification it is. We are the independent kind, and we are content to say when you need the other.
Two sets of pages
Generator brand, or engine brand?
The generator brand pages — linked above — cover the generating set: alternator, controller and AVR, changeover, load testing, standby operation, and the fuel and cooling systems as installed on a genset.
The engine brand pages cover the engine itself in any application, including trucks, plant and marine propulsion.
If your problem is that the set will not carry load, start with the generator page. If your problem is inside the engine, the engine page is the one you want.
Common questions
Brands and coverage, answered
Are you an authorised service centre for any generator brand?
No. We hold no dealership or service appointment with any manufacturer, and we state that on every brand page rather than allowing it to be inferred. We are an independent workshop.
Do you use genuine parts?
We quote genuine parts where you want them or your policy requires them, and quality aftermarket where that is the sensible choice — and the quotation says which is which. Not being tied to one supply channel is the point.
My set's brand is not on this page. Can you still help?
Almost certainly. What governs the job is the engine, the alternator and the availability of parts for them, not the badge on the canopy. Send photographs of the engine and alternator data plates.
Can you work on a set that is still under warranty?
Routine servicing to the manufacturer's schedule, with the correct specifications and the work documented, is generally what a warranty requires — but the specifics vary by manufacturer and by your supply contract. For repair work inside a warranty period, use the authorised network.
Do you keep parts for these brands in stock?
We source parts against the job rather than carrying stock across every family on this page, and we tell you the realistic lead time with the quotation instead of after you have accepted it.

Where to go next
Tell us what is on the data plate
Photographs of the engine and alternator data plates and the controller display. That is usually enough to say what the job is before anyone drives anywhere. No brand dealership held; manufacturer names identify equipment serviced.
