It started with one service truck
Alex Stursa started DBM with one service truck and took repair calls at mines and jobsites around Reno. Today our 11 technicians run 10 service trucks and a repair shop from our yard in Fernley. We also rent out machines, from mini excavators to 50-ton mining trucks, and we sell new XCMG machines as the exclusive XCMG dealer.
Who Decides on Your Repair, and Why Customers Stay
DBM is a small company, so a customer who has spent $500 with us deals with the same Fernley managers and technicians as a customer who has spent $5 million.
The people you talk to make the decisionsOur managers in Fernley price and schedule your repair without checking with a head office in another state. When every crew is out, our founder still drives a service truck to the next machine himself.
You approve the parts cost before we orderAfter the technician finds the problem, we call you with what failed, what the parts cost, and how long they take to arrive. We tell you when overnight shipping is an option, and we order nothing until you approve it.
One customer has called us for nine yearsA gravel and rock producer has called us to repair its machines for nine years. We have never paid for advertising, and our new customers come to us because customers like that one recommend us.
Sales, Rentals, Parts & Service From One Fernley Yard
From the same Fernley yard, we sell machines, supply their parts, and send the service trucks that repair them. When a repair keeps your machine down, we can put a rental machine on your jobsite. We also buy used equipment of any make, either outright or as a trade toward another machine.
Buy a machineWe sell new XCMG machines with 0% financing available through QuickFi on approved credit, and we ship used machines anywhere in the United States.
Rent a machineWe rent out machines from mini excavators up to 50-ton mining trucks, mostly by the month. If you buy the machine within six months, the rental purchase option applies part of the rent to the price.
Request a partWe stock XCMG and SAS parts and source aftermarket parts for most other makes. Most parts reach our Fernley yard within 48 hours, and we ship parts anywhere in the country.

What Our Service Trucks Carry to a Broken-Down Machine
Each service truck carries its own crane, welder-generator, and tooling. That lets a technician lift components, weld, and machine worn pin bores where your machine broke down, without hauling it to a shop or using power from your site.
What arrives with your technician
Crane truck- CraneThe crane lifts heavy components such as engines and loader tires on and off the machine at the jobsite.
- Outrigger legsThe outrigger legs brace the truck on uneven ground before the crane takes a heavy load.
- Side compartmentsThe side compartments carry the hand tools and the parts loaded for that job.
- Welder-generatorA Miller welder-generator supplies welding power for structural repairs and runs electric tools on sites with no power.
- Folded craneThe crane folds down for highway travel and swings out at the machine to lift components.
- Side compartmentsCompartments along both sides of the body hold the welding supplies next to the tools and parts for the job.
- Pull-out drawersPull-out drawers keep fittings and small parts sorted, so the technician finds the right one at the machine.
- ShelvesThe shelves hold cased tools and the larger parts for the job.
- Portable boring machineThe portable boring machine cuts worn pin bores back to round on site, so your machine does not have to go to a machine shop.

How DBM Grew From Field Repair Into Sales & Rentals
Alex Stursa bought his own service truck about 10 years ago and began taking repair calls at mines and jobsites around Reno. Before that, he repaired machines in mine maintenance and as a dealer field technician.
At the time, a dealer could take one to three weeks to get a technician to a broken machine. Alex usually got there the next day, and the customers who saw that difference told other customers. We have never paid for advertising, so our work still comes from referrals. One gravel producer that first called us nine years ago still calls us today. The crew grew with the work, and at our busiest we ran 15 service trucks.
We began renting out a few machines to customers who needed one for a single job, such as a dozer for 30 days, without having to buy it. Today our rental fleet runs from mini excavators to 50-ton mining trucks, and we sublease machines from partner fleets when a customer needs one we do not own.
Marty Elek was XCMG’s regional representative when he brought the XCMG line to DBM in September 2025. That month, we began selling new machines as the exclusive XCMG dealer. In the summer of 2026, a demo compactor that a customer had just agreed to buy broke down before the customer’s funding went through. We had no second compactor, so we rented one from a competitor, delivered it to the customer’s site, and paid the rent until the customer’s machine was running again.
