Bay Diesel Corporation was established in 1982 to service diesel engines, especially Caterpillar, on tugs, dredges, fishing vessels, and similar applications. Today Bay Diesel & Generator is an authorized sales, service, and parts provider for almost all major brands of diesel engines and electrical generators. Our Worldwide Sea Services Division overhauls and repairs diesel main propulsion engines aboard ocean-going vessels all over the globe. We are the North American distributor and service agent for Cedervall shaft seals. We provide planned and corrective maintenance for the emergency power systems of some the largest hospitals, data centers, and communications facilities in Virginia. We are the exclusive distributor for Generac Power Systems in central and southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. Our sales engineers are experienced graduate engineers who can respond to specifications and requirements with technically solid solutions, and then coordinate with the factory to insure that the solution ordered is the solution delivered.

We offer competitive rates, quality service, and quality parts with skilled, factory-trained technicians, and 24 hour service. We provide planned maintenance for standby and primary power generation equipment throughout the mid-Atlantic and beyond, and have the capability to design and build diesel or natural gas power plants. We often have used engines and generators, which we stand behind, available for sale.
