J&J Truck & Trailer Repair has been Ecorse’s trusted roadside assistance provider since 1999. We’re the family-owned company that Downriver drivers call when they need help fast.
Led by Dr. Phillip Marin, who holds three Ph.D. degrees in Diesel Engineering, Drivetrains, and Metal Alloys, our team brings real expertise to every call. These aren’t just credentials on a wall—this knowledge means we can handle complex repairs that other services would need to tow to a shop.
Located at 8332 Kirkwood Street in Detroit, we know every road in Ecorse, Lincoln Park, River Rouge, and Wyandotte. That local knowledge means we reach you faster than out-of-town services that get lost trying to find your location.

Our technicians arrive with fully-equipped service trucks carrying the tools and parts needed for most roadside repairs. We assess your situation quickly and either fix the problem on-site or provide safe towing to your preferred repair shop.
