About Truck Source Diesel

From a single-bay shop to a leader in diesel performance, built on experience, hard work, and results

20+ Years of Diesel Excellence

Where It All Started

Truck Source Diesel was founded in 2005 by Chris Buhidar and Chris Alaniz, who started the business in a single-bay shop in San Antonio while in their early 20s. The two met in College Station while attending Texas A&M, bonding through a shared passion for trucks, performance, and the diesel community.

From the beginning, the focus has been simple: do the job right, stand behind the work, and deliver results customers can rely on long term.

Over the years, that small operation has expanded not only in size but in capability, growing into a 40,000+ square foot facility while becoming a leader in diesel performance, repair, and custom builds serving customers across Texas and throughout the country.
