Hear from Our Customers
Your truck breaks down at 2 AM on I-94. Your car won’t start in the Meijer parking lot. Your trailer has a flat on Fort Street during rush hour.
These aren’t just inconveniences—they’re expensive problems that get worse every minute you’re stuck. You need someone who understands that your time matters, your safety matters, and your livelihood depends on getting moving again.
That’s exactly what you get when you call J&J Truck & Trailer Repair. No runaround on pricing. No vague arrival times. Just honest service from people who know what they’re doing and show up when they say they will.
We’ve been handling roadside emergencies in the Detroit metro area since before GPS existed. We know every back road in Wayne County, every shortcut to get to you faster, and exactly what it’s like to be stranded when you need to be somewhere else.
Dr. Phillip Marin leads our team with three Ph.D. degrees in Diesel Engineering, Drivetrains, and Metal Alloys. That’s not just impressive credentials—it’s the kind of deep knowledge that means we can diagnose your problem quickly and fix it right the first time.
We serve everyone from owner-operators hauling freight to families heading to Belle Isle for the weekend. Same level of care, same commitment to getting you back on the road safely.
When you call us, you talk to a real person who understands your situation. We get your location, assess what you’re dealing with, and give you an honest estimate of when we’ll be there—not some generic “45 minutes to 2 hours” window.
Our mobile unit heads your way with the tools and parts needed for most common roadside issues. We arrive prepared to handle jump starts, tire changes, fuel delivery, lockout assistance, and mobile repairs right on the spot.
If your vehicle needs more extensive work or towing, we handle that too. We’ll get you and your vehicle to safety, whether that’s your preferred shop, your home, or our facility. Throughout the process, we keep you informed about what we’re doing and why.

We handle the full range of roadside emergencies for both commercial and personal vehicles. That includes semi-trucks, trailers, pickup trucks, cars, and everything in between. Dead battery? We’ll jump it or replace it. Flat tire? We’ll change it or patch it. Out of gas? We’ll bring fuel to you.
Riverview’s location near major shipping routes means we see a lot of commercial breakdowns. We understand that every minute your truck is down costs money. That’s why we stock common parts and maintain equipment specifically designed for heavy-duty vehicles.
For the families and commuters in Riverview, we know you’re dealing with your own time pressures. Whether you’re trying to get to work or pick up kids from school, we treat your emergency with the same urgency we’d want for our own families. We serve the entire Detroit metro area, including all of Wayne County and surrounding communities.
Our average response time in Riverview is 30-45 minutes, depending on your exact location and current road conditions. We’re based in Detroit and know the area well, so we can usually find the fastest route to reach you.
Unlike some services that give you a wide time window, we provide a realistic estimate based on where you are and where our nearest technician is located. We’ll update you if anything changes, and our dispatcher can track our progress so you know exactly when to expect us.
Yes, we handle everything from passenger cars to heavy-duty commercial trucks and trailers. Our equipment and expertise cover vehicles under 10,000 pounds as well as large trucks, semi-trailers, and construction equipment over 10,000 pounds.
Dr. Marin’s specialized education in diesel engineering and drivetrains means we understand the unique challenges of commercial vehicles. At the same time, we’ve been helping Detroit area families with their car troubles for decades. Same professional service, whether you’re driving a Honda Civic or a Peterbilt.
Our service calls include diagnosis of the problem, basic roadside repairs when possible, and transparent pricing before we start any work. Common services we handle on-site include jump starts, tire changes, fuel delivery, lockout assistance, and minor mechanical repairs.
If your vehicle needs towing, we provide that service as well and can transport you to your preferred repair shop, your home, or our facility. We carry basic parts and fluids in our mobile units, so many issues can be resolved right where you’re stranded without the need for expensive towing.
We provide 24/7 emergency roadside assistance, seven days a week. Vehicle breakdowns don’t follow a schedule, and neither do we. Whether it’s 3 AM on a Tuesday or Sunday afternoon, you’ll reach a real person who can dispatch help to your location.
Our after-hours service covers the same geographic area and provides the same level of professional care as our daytime operations. Emergency situations often happen at the worst possible times, and we understand that waiting until Monday morning isn’t an option when you’re stranded.
We provide upfront, honest pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges. Our rates are competitive with other professional services in the Detroit area, and we believe you get exceptional value given our experience and expertise.
Before starting any work, we’ll explain what needs to be done and what it will cost. No padding the bill with unnecessary services, no “convenience fees” that appear later. Dr. Marin built this business on the principle that fair pricing and quality work earn customer loyalty better than any marketing gimmick.
We serve Riverview and the entire Detroit metro area, including all of Wayne County and surrounding communities. Our coverage extends to major highways like I-94, I-75, and I-696, as well as local roads throughout the region.
Having operated in this area for over 40 years, we know the quickest routes to reach you regardless of traffic conditions or construction delays. Whether you’re broken down in downtown Detroit, stuck in Dearborn, or stranded in Lincoln Park, we can get to you efficiently and provide the same professional service.
