We don’t just fix the immediate problem. We make sure you can trust your vehicle to get you where you’re going next.
J&J Truck & Trailer Repair has been South Rockwood’s go-to roadside assistance since the 1980s. We’re not some fly-by-night operation or a call center routing you to whoever’s cheapest.
Dr. Phillip Marin leads our team with three Ph.D. degrees in Diesel Engineering, Drivetrains, and Metal Alloys. When your truck has a problem, you’re getting someone who actually understands what’s under the hood.

We handle everything from passenger car lockouts to heavy-duty truck breakdowns. Jump-starts, tire changes, fuel delivery, mobile repairs, and towing for vehicles of all sizes.
South Rockwood’s location along major shipping routes means we see plenty of commercial vehicle breakdowns. Our team is equipped to handle semi-trucks, trailers, and heavy equipment that other services can’t touch.
Michigan weather doesn’t take breaks, and neither do we. Whether you’re dealing with a dead battery in January or overheating in July, we respond 24/7 because breakdowns don’t wait for business hours.
Our response time depends on your exact location and current road conditions, but we typically reach South Rockwood calls within 30-45 minutes. We’re based in Detroit, which gives us quick access to the entire metro area including Monroe County.
During severe weather or heavy traffic, response times may be longer, but we’ll give you an honest estimate when you call. We don’t make promises we can’t keep because you’re already dealing with enough stress.
If you’re in an unsafe location, we’ll guide you on how to stay safe while waiting for our arrival.
Yes, we specialize in heavy-duty roadside assistance. Dr. Marin’s expertise in diesel engineering means we understand commercial vehicles inside and out. We handle semi-trucks, box trucks, delivery vehicles, and trailers of all sizes.
Our equipment is designed for heavy-duty work, not just passenger cars. We can provide mobile repairs, jump-starts for larger battery systems, tire changes for commercial vehicles, and heavy-duty towing when needed.
Many roadside services can’t handle commercial vehicles properly. We’ve been working on trucks and trailers for over 40 years, so you’re getting technicians who know what they’re doing.
We can handle many repairs right where you’re stranded, depending on the problem and safety conditions. Common on-site repairs include alternator replacement, starter repair, belt replacement, and basic electrical troubleshooting.
For safety reasons, we can’t perform certain repairs on busy highways or in dangerous locations. In those cases, we’ll tow your vehicle to a safe location or directly to a repair facility.
Our goal is always to get you back on the road if possible. When that’s not safe or feasible, we make sure your vehicle gets proper care at the right facility.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency roadside assistance every day of the year. Breakdowns don’t follow a schedule, and neither do we. Whether it’s 2 AM on Christmas or during a Michigan blizzard, we respond to emergency calls.
Our phone is answered by real people, not an automated system. When you’re stranded, you need to talk to someone who can help immediately, not navigate through a phone menu.
Keep in mind that extreme weather conditions may affect response times, but we’ll always be honest about what to expect and keep you updated on our arrival time.
Our pricing depends on the specific service you need and your exact location. We provide upfront estimates before starting any work, so you know what you’re paying before we begin.
Basic services like jump-starts typically range from $75-150, while towing costs vary based on distance and vehicle type. We don’t hit you with surprise fees or hidden charges that some companies add after the fact.
For commercial vehicles or complex repairs, costs may be higher due to specialized equipment and expertise required. We’ll explain all charges clearly before proceeding with any service.
Yes, we provide professional lockout service for all types of vehicles. Our technicians use proper tools and techniques to unlock your vehicle without causing damage to your locks or windows.
We can handle everything from basic car lockouts to commercial vehicle access issues. If you’ve locked your keys in a truck cab or trailer, we have the experience and equipment to get you back inside safely.
For security reasons, we’ll need to verify that you’re the vehicle owner or authorized operator before providing lockout service. This protects both you and other vehicle owners from unauthorized access.
