Hear from Our Customers
You’re not just getting a tow truck – you’re getting your day back. No more sitting on the shoulder wondering when help will arrive. No more explaining the same problem to three different people who can’t fix it.
Our mobile mechanics show up with everything needed to get most problems handled on the spot. Dead battery? We jump it or replace it. Flat tire? We’ve got you covered. Engine trouble? Our ASE-certified technicians diagnose and repair right there.
When we can’t fix it roadside, we tow you to the right shop – not just the closest one. You get back to making money instead of losing it to downtime.
We’ve been the family you call when things go wrong since 1999. Led by Dr. Phillip Marin – yes, an actual Ph.D. in Diesel Engineering – we’ve built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time.
We know Woodland Beach and Monroe County roads. We understand what lake effect weather does to vehicles. Most importantly, we get that when you’re broken down, you need someone who shows up fast and fixes it right the first time.
Our team serves the tight-knit Woodland Beach community and the truckers passing through on their way to bigger cities. Fair pricing, honest work, and we’re here when you need us most.
Call us at 313-999-3088 and tell us what’s happening. We ask a few quick questions about your location and the problem, then dispatch our nearest available technician.
Our mobile unit arrives with diagnostic equipment and common parts. We assess the situation and give you straight talk about what’s wrong and what it’ll cost. No hidden fees, no surprise charges later.
If we can fix it on-site, we do. If it needs shop work, we tow you to the right facility – one that can actually handle your specific problem. You get updates throughout the process so you’re never left wondering what’s happening.

Our roadside assistance covers everything from simple jump-starts to complex mobile repairs. We handle flat tire changes, fuel delivery, lockout assistance, and on-site engine diagnostics for both passenger vehicles and heavy-duty trucks.
Woodland Beach’s location near Lake Erie means vehicles face unique challenges – salt air corrosion, sudden weather changes, and the wear from seasonal temperature swings. We stock parts and fluids that work in Michigan conditions.
For commercial drivers, we provide DOT-compliant repairs and can handle trailer refrigeration units including Thermo-King and Carrier systems. Our mobile workshop means less downtime and faster solutions than waiting for a tow to the shop. We serve I-75, I-94, and local roads throughout Monroe County with the same fast response and fair pricing.
We typically arrive within 30-45 minutes of your call, often faster depending on our technician locations and traffic conditions. Our mobile units are strategically positioned throughout the Detroit metro area, and we know the fastest routes to Woodland Beach and surrounding Monroe County areas.
Unlike larger national services that might take hours to dispatch someone, we’re a local family business that understands urgency. When you call 313-999-3088, you’re talking directly to our dispatch team who can give you a realistic arrival time and keep you updated if anything changes.
We’ve been serving this area for over 40 years, so we know which routes get congested and plan accordingly. Our goal is getting to you fast, not making excuses about why we’re late.
We handle everything from passenger cars to heavy-duty commercial trucks and trailers. Our ASE-certified mechanics are equipped to work on light-duty vehicles, medium-duty trucks, semi-trucks, trailers, and even RVs and motorhomes.
Dr. Phillip Marin’s expertise in diesel engineering means we’re particularly strong with commercial vehicles – Freightliner, International, Kenworth, Peterbilt, Volvo, and other major truck brands. We also service trailer refrigeration units from Thermo-King and Carrier, which many roadside services can’t handle.
Our mobile units carry diagnostic equipment and common parts for most makes and models. Whether you’re driving a pickup truck to work or hauling freight through Michigan, we have the tools and knowledge to get you moving again.
No. Our rates stay the same 24/7, 365 days a year. When you’re stranded at 2 AM on Christmas morning, you pay the same fair price as you would on a Tuesday afternoon.
We believe emergencies don’t follow business hours, so neither should emergency pricing. You’ll get an upfront estimate before we start any work, and that’s what you’ll pay – no surprise charges for after-hours service, no holiday premiums, no weekend surcharges.
This is part of what sets us apart from larger companies that hit you with extra fees when you’re most vulnerable. We’re a family business that treats customers the way we’d want to be treated if we were broken down on the side of the road.
We fix about 70% of roadside problems right where you’re stranded. Our mobile units are fully equipped workshops with diagnostic computers, common replacement parts, fluids, and tools for most repairs.
Dead batteries, alternator problems, belt replacements, minor fuel system issues, tire changes, and many electrical problems can be handled on-site. We even carry some engine parts and can perform mobile repairs that other services would automatically tow for.
When towing is necessary, we take you to a shop that can actually fix your specific problem – not just the closest one. We have relationships with quality repair facilities throughout the area and can recommend the right place based on your vehicle type and the work needed.
First, get your vehicle as far off the road as safely possible and turn on your hazard lights. If you’re on a highway, try to reach an exit or rest area rather than stopping on the shoulder if you can do so safely.
Stay in your vehicle if traffic is heavy, but if you must get out, exit from the side away from traffic and stand well clear of the roadway. Keep your phone charged and stay with your vehicle so our technician can find you easily.
If you’re in a safe location during daylight hours, raising your hood signals that you need help. At night or in bad weather, stay inside with your doors locked until our clearly marked service vehicle arrives. We’ll call you when we’re close to confirm your exact location and let you know we’re the ones pulling up behind you.
Yes, but with proper safety protocols in place. Dr. Marin’s extensive background in diesel engineering and our team’s commercial vehicle expertise means we understand the special requirements for working on trucks carrying hazardous materials.
We follow all DOT regulations and safety procedures when servicing vehicles with hazmat loads. Our technicians are trained to assess situations carefully and determine whether repairs can be performed safely on-site or if specialized towing and handling is required.
We coordinate with appropriate authorities when necessary and ensure all work meets federal and state safety standards. Your cargo, your safety, and public safety are our top priorities when dealing with any commercial vehicle, especially those carrying regulated materials.
