We’ve been serving Rockwood and the greater Wayne County area for over 40 years. We’re the family-owned emergency service provider that local drivers call when they need help fast.
Our team is led by Dr. Phillip Marin, a mobile truck mechanic with three Ph.D. degrees in Diesel Engineering, Drivetrains, and Metal Alloys. That level of expertise means we can handle complex problems that leave other services scratching their heads.
We know Rockwood’s roads, from the residential streets near the Huron River to the busy corridors that connect you to Detroit and beyond. When you’re dealing with a breakdown in familiar territory, you want help from people who know the area just as well as you do.
When you call our emergency line at 313-999-3088, you’re connected directly to our dispatch team who immediately begins coordinating your rescue. We gather your location details, assess what type of help you need, and dispatch the nearest available technician.
Our service vehicles arrive fully equipped with diagnostic tools, repair equipment, and the parts needed for common roadside fixes. If we can get you running again on the spot, we do it. If your vehicle needs more extensive work, we’ll safely tow you to a repair facility of your choice.
Throughout the process, we keep you informed about arrival times and next steps. No guessing, no wondering if help is really coming. You get professional communication from people who understand that being stranded is stressful enough without poor service making it worse.

Our comprehensive roadside assistance covers everything from simple jump-starts to complex mobile repairs. We handle flat tire changes, fuel delivery, lockout assistance, and battery replacement for both passenger vehicles and commercial trucks.
For Rockwood drivers, this means you’re covered whether you’re commuting to work in Detroit, making local deliveries, or hauling freight through Wayne County. Our service area includes all the routes you travel regularly, from residential neighborhoods to major highways.
Michigan’s weather can be unpredictable, especially during winter months when temperatures drop below zero. Our technicians work in all conditions, equipped with the tools and experience needed to help you safely, even when the weather isn’t cooperating.
Our average response time in Rockwood and the surrounding Wayne County area is typically 30-60 minutes, depending on your exact location and current service demand. We dispatch the nearest available technician as soon as you call our emergency line at 313-999-3088.
During peak breakdown periods, like severe weather events or heavy traffic incidents, response times may be slightly longer. However, our dispatch team will give you an honest estimate when you call and provide updates if circumstances change.
We maintain multiple service vehicles strategically positioned throughout our coverage area specifically to minimize response times. When you’re stranded, every minute matters, and we structure our operations around getting to you as quickly as safely possible.
Yes, we handle roadside assistance for all types of vehicles, from passenger cars to heavy-duty commercial trucks and trailers. Our team has the specialized equipment and expertise needed to work on everything from compact cars to large semi-trucks.
Dr. Phillip Marin’s background includes three Ph.D.s in Diesel Engineering, Drivetrains, and Metal Alloys, which gives us capabilities that many roadside services simply don’t have. Whether you’re driving a pickup truck or operating an 18-wheeler, we have the knowledge and tools to help.
This comprehensive capability means you can rely on one service provider for your entire fleet or family’s vehicles. No need to maintain relationships with multiple companies or wonder if your roadside service can actually handle your specific vehicle type.
We serve Rockwood and the entire Detroit metro area, including all of Wayne County and surrounding regions. Our coverage extends throughout southeastern Michigan, covering the major highways and local roads that connect Rockwood to Detroit, Ann Arbor, and other nearby communities.
Whether you break down on local streets like West Jefferson Avenue, major highways like I-75 or I-94, or anywhere in between, we can reach you. Our familiarity with the area means we know the fastest routes to your location and can navigate efficiently even during heavy traffic periods.
For drivers who regularly travel beyond our primary service area, we can coordinate with trusted partners in other regions to ensure you’re never truly stranded, no matter where your route takes you.
First, get your vehicle as far off the road as safely possible and turn on your hazard lights. If you’re on a busy highway, exit your vehicle from the side away from traffic and move to a safe location behind your vehicle, preferably behind a barrier if one is available.
Call 911 first if there’s any immediate danger, then contact us at 313-999-3088. Have your location details ready, including nearby cross streets or mile markers, and be prepared to describe what happened and what symptoms your vehicle is experiencing.
Stay visible to other drivers by wearing bright clothing if possible, and avoid attempting repairs yourself, especially on busy roads. Our technicians have the proper safety equipment and training to work in traffic situations safely. Your job is to stay safe until we arrive.
Roadside assistance costs vary depending on the specific service needed, time of day, and complexity of the situation. Simple services like jump-starts or lockout assistance typically cost less than complex mobile repairs or long-distance towing.
Without a roadside assistance plan, emergency services can be expensive. For example, towing a semi-truck can cost up to $2,500 out of pocket, and even basic services like tire changes can run $75-150 when you’re paying emergency rates.
We provide upfront pricing estimates when you call, so you know what to expect before our technician arrives. This transparency helps you make informed decisions about whether to proceed with roadside repairs or arrange for towing to a shop for more extensive work.
We perform extensive mobile repairs right at your breakdown location whenever possible. Our service vehicles carry diagnostic equipment, common replacement parts, and the tools needed to handle many repairs without requiring a tow to a shop.
Common on-site repairs include belt and hose replacement, cooling system issues, minor electrical problems, fuel system repairs, and brake adjustments. Dr. Marin’s advanced technical background means we can diagnose and fix problems that other roadside services would simply tow away.
When a repair requires parts we don’t carry or shop-level equipment, we’ll explain your options and arrange safe transport to a facility that can complete the work. Our goal is always to get you back on the road as quickly as possible, whether that’s through immediate repair or efficient towing to the right place.
