When your truck breaks down or your car won’t start, you don’t have time to waste. You need help that shows up when we say we will, knows what we’re doing, and gets the job done right the first time.
That’s exactly what you get with J&J Truck & Trailer Repair. We’ve been handling roadside emergencies around London and Wayne County for over 40 years. We know these roads, we understand the common problems, and we know how to fix them fast.
Whether it’s a dead battery on your way to work, a flat tire on I-94, or a commercial truck that won’t start, we handle it properly. You get back to your day instead of sitting on the shoulder wondering when help will actually arrive.
Detroit Roadside Assistance operates as J&J Truck & Trailer Repair, and we’ve been the go-to emergency service for London drivers since the 1980s. We’re not some national chain that doesn’t know the area—we’re a family business that truly understands rural Michigan.
Dr. Phillip Marin leads our operation with three Ph.D. degrees in Diesel Engineering, Drivetrains, and Metal Alloys. That level of expertise matters when you’re dealing with complex truck systems or need someone who can diagnose problems quickly and accurately.
Located at 8332 Kirkwood St in Detroit, we serve the entire metro area including London and surrounding Wayne County communities. We know that in rural areas like London, reliable emergency service isn’t just convenient—it’s absolutely essential for keeping your life moving.
When you call J&J Truck & Trailer Repair, here’s exactly what happens. First, you explain your situation and location. We dispatch the right equipment and technician for your specific problem—whether it’s a jump start, tire change, fuel delivery, or towing.
Our mobile units arrive equipped to handle most repairs on the spot. If it’s something we can fix roadside, we do it right there. If your vehicle needs to be towed, we transport it safely to your preferred repair facility or our shop.
The goal is always the same: get you moving again with minimal disruption to your day. We handle everything from lockouts to major breakdowns, and we do it with the kind of expertise that comes from four decades in the business serving drivers just like you.

J&J Truck & Trailer Repair handles the full range of roadside emergencies that drivers face. Jump starts for dead batteries, tire changes for flats, fuel delivery when you run empty, and lockout assistance when keys get stuck inside your vehicle.
For commercial vehicles, we provide mobile repairs that can often fix problems right where you break down. Our heavy-duty towing capability handles everything from pickup trucks to semi-trailers. Light-duty vehicles get the same professional treatment and attention to detail.
In London’s rural setting, having a service provider who stocks the right parts and brings the right tools makes all the difference. You’re not waiting for someone to drive back to town for equipment. We come prepared to solve your problem the first time, every time.
Response times depend on your exact location and current call volume, but we prioritize emergency calls and typically reach London area locations within 30-45 minutes. We understand that in rural areas, fast response is absolutely critical.
Our 24/7 availability means you get help whether it’s 3 AM on a Sunday or during rush hour on a weekday. We keep mobile units strategically positioned to serve Wayne County efficiently and effectively.
If you’re in an unsafe location, we’ll guide you on staying safe while waiting for help to arrive. Your safety is our top priority.
Yes, we handle everything from passenger cars to heavy-duty commercial trucks and trailers. Dr. Marin’s expertise in diesel engineering and drivetrains means we can diagnose and repair complex commercial vehicle problems that other services might not be equipped to handle properly.
For fleet operators, we understand that downtime costs serious money. We prioritize getting commercial vehicles back in service quickly, whether that means an on-site repair or efficient towing to a repair facility.
Passenger vehicle owners get the same professional treatment—jump starts, tire changes, lockout assistance, and reliable towing when needed. No job is too small or too big.
We serve London and the entire Detroit metro area, including all of Wayne County and surrounding regions. This covers major highways like I-94, I-275, and I-75, as well as rural roads throughout the area.
Our coverage extends to neighboring communities and we’re familiar with the local road network. Whether you break down on a main highway or a back road outside London, we can find you and provide assistance quickly.
For specific coverage questions about your location, call us directly. We’ll let you know if you’re in our service area and provide an accurate estimated response time.
Our mobile units are equipped to handle many common repairs without towing your vehicle. This includes battery replacement, alternator repairs, starter service, minor electrical issues, and comprehensive engine diagnostics.
For commercial vehicles, we can often handle air brake adjustments, hydraulic repairs, and other systems that would otherwise require expensive towing to a shop. Our goal is to get you running again without the time and cost of a tow.
Complex repairs that require shop equipment will result in towing to an appropriate facility, but we attempt on-site repairs first whenever it’s safe and practical to do so.
We provide 24/7 emergency roadside assistance, 365 days a year. Breakdowns don’t follow business hours, and neither do we. Whether it’s midnight on Christmas or 5 AM on a Tuesday, emergency help is available.
Night and weekend calls receive the same professional response as daytime emergencies. We understand that being stranded is stressful regardless of when it happens, and we’re here to help.
For non-emergency service scheduling, we can arrange appointments during regular business hours, but true emergencies get immediate attention around the clock.
Roadside assistance costs vary depending on the specific service needed, your location, and the complexity of the problem. We provide upfront pricing so you know exactly what to expect before authorizing any work.
Simple services like jump starts or tire changes cost less than complex mobile repairs or long-distance towing. Commercial vehicle service may have different pricing than passenger car assistance due to specialized equipment requirements.
We’ll explain all costs clearly over the phone and won’t surprise you with hidden fees. Our goal is fair, transparent pricing for professional emergency service that gets results.
