You don’t have time to wait around on the side of the road. When your vehicle breaks down in Grosse Pointe Shores, you need someone who understands that every minute counts.
Our mobile roadside assistance gets you moving again quickly. No guessing games, no runarounds, no surprise charges when we’re done. Just professional service that solves your problem so you can get back to what matters.
Whether it’s a dead battery before an important meeting, a flat tire on your way home, or a complete breakdown on I-94, we handle it efficiently. You’ll know exactly what we’re doing and what it costs before we start.
J&J Truck & Trailer Repair has been the go-to roadside assistance provider for Grosse Pointe Shores residents for over four decades. We’re not just another towing company—we’re automotive experts who understand the unique needs of this community.
Dr. Phillip Marin leads our team with three Ph.D. degrees in Diesel Engineering, Drivetrains, and Metal Alloys. That level of expertise means we can diagnose and fix problems that leave other services scratching their heads. When you’re dealing with a luxury vehicle or complex commercial truck, that expertise makes all the difference.
We’ve built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time. Grosse Pointe Shores drivers trust us because we show up when we say we will, fix what needs fixing, and charge exactly what we quoted. No drama, no excuses, no surprises.
When you call us, you’ll speak directly with our dispatch team—not a call center halfway across the country. We’ll get your exact location, understand your specific problem, and give you a realistic arrival time based on current traffic conditions.
Our mobile unit arrives fully equipped with diagnostic tools, replacement parts, and everything needed to handle most roadside repairs on the spot. Dr. Marin or one of our certified technicians will assess the situation, explain exactly what’s wrong, and provide a clear quote before starting any work.
If we can fix it roadside, we will. If your vehicle needs to be towed, we’ll transport it safely to your preferred repair facility or our shop. Either way, you’ll know what’s happening every step of the way, and you’ll never pay more than the quoted price.
