When your vehicle breaks down, you don’t need another headache. You need someone who knows what they’re doing and gets there fast. That’s exactly what you get with our emergency roadside service.
No more waiting around for hours wondering if help is actually coming. No surprise fees or minimum charges that turn a bad day into an expensive one. Just straightforward help from technicians who’ve seen it all and know how to fix it.
Whether you’re dealing with a dead battery at 2 AM, a flat tire on I-94, or a truck breakdown that’s costing you money every minute, we handle it right the first time. You get back to your day, your route, or your family without the stress and uncertainty that comes with most roadside assistance.
We operate as J&J Truck & Trailer Repair, and we’ve been solving roadside emergencies since 1999. This isn’t some fly-by-night operation or national call center that doesn’t know Detroit Beach from Detroit Lakes.
We’re led by Dr. Phillip Marin, who holds three Ph.D. degrees in Diesel Engineering, Drivetrains, and Metal Alloys. When your truck or trailer has a complex problem, you’re not getting a guy with a toolbox and good intentions. You’re getting someone who understands the engineering behind what went wrong.
Operating from our Detroit location, we know the roads, the traffic patterns, and the shortcuts that matter when you’re stranded. We’ve built our reputation one emergency at a time in a community where word travels fast about who shows up and who doesn’t.
When you call, you talk to someone who understands emergencies don’t wait for business hours. We get your location, vehicle details, and what’s wrong. No phone tree, no hold music, no transferring you to three different people.
Our technician heads your way with the right equipment for your specific problem. We’re not showing up hoping we brought the right parts. We know Detroit Beach, the surrounding areas, and how to get to you quickly whether you’re on a main road or tucked away somewhere.
Most problems get fixed on the spot. Dead battery? We jump it or replace it. Flat tire? We repair it or put on your spare. Lockout? We get you in without damaging anything. If it needs to be towed, we handle that too, but our goal is getting you moving again without the tow.

We handle everything from passenger cars to heavy-duty trucks and trailers. Jump-starts, tire changes, fuel delivery, lockout assistance, and mobile repairs. If it’s broken down on a Detroit Beach road, we can probably fix it or get it to someone who can.
For truck drivers, we understand that time is money. Every minute you’re sitting on the shoulder is revenue you’re losing. We specialize in getting commercial vehicles back in service quickly, with the expertise to handle air brake systems, diesel engines, and trailer issues that would stump most roadside services.
Detroit Beach sits in an area with heavy traffic from I-275, I-94, and the local road network. We know the spots where vehicles commonly have problems and we’re positioned to respond fast. Whether you’re a local resident dealing with a car problem or a trucker passing through with a breakdown, we treat every call like the emergency it is to you.
Response time depends on your exact location and current call volume, but we typically arrive within 30-45 minutes in the Detroit Beach area. We’re strategically located in Detroit and know the local roads well, which helps us navigate traffic and find you quickly.
Unlike national services that might dispatch someone from far away, we’re local. We know that when you’re stranded, every minute feels like an hour. Our technicians carry GPS and stay in contact with dispatch to ensure they’re taking the fastest route to your location.
If there’s going to be any delay due to weather, traffic, or high call volume, we’ll let you know upfront. No one likes surprises when they’re already dealing with a vehicle emergency.
Yes, we specialize in heavy-duty roadside assistance. Dr. Phillip Marin’s expertise in diesel engineering means we can handle complex truck and trailer problems that other services can’t. We work on everything from pickup trucks to semi-trucks and trailers.
Our mobile service trucks carry the equipment needed for commercial vehicle repairs. Air brake issues, hydraulic problems, electrical system failures, and diesel engine troubles are all within our wheelhouse. We understand that commercial vehicles have different needs and requirements than passenger cars.
For fleet operators and owner-operators, we know that downtime costs money. Our goal is getting your equipment back in service as quickly as possible, whether that means a roadside repair or efficient towing to a shop that can handle the work.
We serve Detroit Beach and the surrounding Detroit metro area, including major highways like I-94, I-275, I-75, and I-696. Our service area covers Wayne County and extends into the broader Detroit region where our expertise is needed.
If you’re on a major highway passing through the area, we can reach you. If you’re in a residential area of Detroit Beach or nearby communities, we can find you. Our local knowledge extends beyond just knowing the roads – we understand traffic patterns, construction zones, and the best routes during different times of day.
For commercial drivers on long-haul routes, we’re familiar with the truck stops, rest areas, and industrial areas where breakdowns commonly occur. We’ve handled calls everywhere from downtown Detroit to the suburban areas surrounding Detroit Beach.
Pricing varies based on the specific service needed, but we believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees. A basic jump-start or tire change will cost less than a complex repair or long-distance tow. We’ll give you the price upfront before starting any work.
Unlike some services that hit you with service fees, minimum labor charges, and credit card processing fees, we keep it straightforward. You’re dealing with a local family business, not a corporate call center trying to maximize every charge.
For commercial vehicles, we understand that unexpected repair costs can impact your bottom line. We work to provide fair pricing that reflects the expertise and equipment needed for your specific situation, without gouging you when you’re in a vulnerable position.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency roadside assistance, 365 days a year. Vehicle breakdowns don’t follow business hours, and neither do we. Whether it’s 3 AM on a Tuesday or during a holiday weekend, someone is available to take your call and dispatch help.
Our after-hours service isn’t just an answering service that takes messages. When you call during nights, weekends, or holidays, you’re getting the same professional response you’d get during regular business hours. We understand that emergencies are often more stressful when they happen at inconvenient times.
For commercial drivers, we know that delivery schedules don’t stop for breakdowns. Our 24/7 availability means you can get help when you need it, not when it’s convenient for the service provider.
Absolutely. Tire service is one of our core capabilities, and we handle everything from passenger car tires to large truck and trailer tires. We carry the equipment needed to deal with heavy-duty tires, including the tools and safety equipment required for roadside tire changes on commercial vehicles.
Truck and trailer tire changes require different expertise than passenger car tires. The size, weight, and air pressure involved make it potentially dangerous if not handled properly. Our technicians have the experience and proper equipment to do the job safely and efficiently.
We can repair punctures when possible, replace tires with spares, or arrange for tire replacement if needed. For fleet vehicles, we understand the importance of getting you back on the road quickly while ensuring the repair is done right the first time.
