Hear from Our Customers
You’re not stuck waiting for hours wondering if help is really coming. Our team arrives with the right equipment and knowledge to handle your specific situation – whether it’s a dead battery on I-94 or a blown tire on the Lodge Freeway.
Most breakdowns get resolved on the spot. When towing is necessary, we get your vehicle to a trusted shop quickly and safely. You’ll know the cost upfront, and there won’t be any surprise charges when the job is done.
The stress disappears when you realize someone actually knows what they’re doing. You get back to your day instead of losing hours to a breakdown that should have been handled properly from the start.
We’ve been handling Detroit’s roadside emergencies since the 1980s. We’re the family-owned company that truck drivers and everyday motorists call when they need someone who actually understands vehicles – not just someone with a tow truck.
Dr. Phillip Marin leads our team with three Ph.D. degrees in Diesel Engineering, Drivetrains, and Metal Alloys. That level of expertise matters when your semi breaks down on I-75 or your car won’t start in a Detroit parking lot.
We serve Wayne County from our location on Kirkwood Street because we know these roads, these drivers, and what it takes to keep Detroit moving. When other companies are still figuring out what’s wrong, we’re already fixing it.
Call us at the first sign of trouble. We dispatch immediately and give you a realistic arrival time – usually within 30 minutes in the Detroit metro area.
Our technician arrives with diagnostic equipment and common repair parts. We assess the situation and explain exactly what’s happening with your vehicle. If it’s something we can fix roadside, we handle it there. If towing is needed, we tell you why and where we’re taking it.
You get a clear price before any work starts. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no games. We fix what we can, tow what we can’t, and get you moving again as quickly as possible.

We handle everything from passenger cars to heavy commercial trucks over 10,000 pounds. Battery jump-starts, flat tire changes, fuel delivery, lockout assistance, and mobile repairs – whatever gets you stranded, we’ve got the solution.
Detroit’s highways see constant traffic, and breakdowns happen at the worst times. That’s why we operate 24/7/365, including holidays and harsh weather. Our equipment handles both light-duty and heavy-duty situations because Detroit needs both.
Wayne County drivers deal with everything from winter road conditions to summer heat that kills batteries. We stock the parts and fluids that commonly fail in Michigan weather, so we can often complete repairs without a tow to the shop.
Most of our Detroit-area responses happen within 30 minutes, depending on your exact location and current traffic conditions. We dispatch from our Kirkwood Street location and know the fastest routes through Wayne County.
When you call, we give you a realistic time estimate based on where our nearest truck is located. We don’t promise 15 minutes if it’s going to take 45. You’ll get an honest arrival time so you can plan accordingly.
Heavy traffic on I-75 or I-94 might add time, but we factor that into our estimate. Emergency situations get priority dispatch, and we’ll update you if anything changes with our arrival time.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work. Basic services like jump-starts typically run $89-149, while towing costs depend on distance and vehicle type. Heavy-duty truck services cost more than passenger cars due to specialized equipment requirements.
You’ll never get hit with surprise charges or hidden fees. If the situation changes and additional work becomes necessary, we explain why and get your approval before proceeding. Our goal is fair pricing that reflects the expertise and equipment needed to handle your specific situation properly.
Payment is due when service is complete. We accept cash, credit cards, and can work with most insurance companies that cover roadside assistance.
Yes. We’re equipped for everything from passenger vehicles to heavy commercial trucks, semi-trailers, and construction equipment over 10,000 pounds. Dr. Marin’s expertise in diesel engineering and drivetrains means we understand the mechanical differences between vehicle types.
Our trucks carry tools and parts for both light-duty and heavy-duty situations. We can jump-start a car battery or diagnose complex diesel engine problems. Most roadside companies specialize in one or the other – we handle both because Detroit’s roads have both.
Commercial drivers appreciate working with someone who understands their equipment and time constraints. We know that a breakdown costs more than just the repair – it’s lost revenue, delayed deliveries, and frustrated customers.
We operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Breakdowns don’t wait for convenient times, and neither do we. Whether it’s 2 AM on a Sunday or Christmas morning, someone answers our phone and dispatches help.
Night and weekend calls don’t carry additional fees just because of timing. Emergency situations get the same professional response regardless of when they happen. We understand that being stranded at odd hours is stressful enough without worrying about premium charges.
Our technicians are experienced with roadside safety procedures for low-light conditions and heavy traffic situations. We carry proper lighting and safety equipment to handle calls safely at any hour.
We cover Wayne County and the greater Detroit metropolitan area, including all major highways like I-75, I-94, I-96, and the Lodge Freeway. Our service area extends to surrounding communities where drivers regularly travel for work or personal reasons.
If you’re within reasonable distance of Detroit, we can probably reach you. We’ll let you know during the initial call if your location falls outside our normal service area. Sometimes we can still help or recommend a trusted provider closer to your location.
Our familiarity with Detroit-area roads and traffic patterns helps us navigate efficiently to your location. We know which routes get congested at different times and plan accordingly to reach you as quickly as possible.
Dr. Phillip Marin’s three Ph.D. degrees in Diesel Engineering, Drivetrains, and Metal Alloys represent a level of technical expertise that’s rare in roadside assistance. Most companies send drivers with basic training – we send someone who understands why your vehicle failed and how to fix it properly.
Our 40+ years serving Detroit means we’ve handled every type of breakdown situation multiple times. We’re not learning on your emergency. We know what works, what doesn’t, and how to get you moving again efficiently.
Being family-owned matters because your experience directly affects our reputation in the community. We can’t hide behind corporate policies or blame distant management. When we make a commitment, we keep it because our name is on the truck.
