Your rig breaks down on I-75 or I-94, and every minute costs you money. You need someone who shows up fast, diagnoses the problem correctly, and fixes it on the spot without the runaround.
That’s exactly what happens when you call us. Our mobile repair truck rolls up with the parts, tools, and expertise to handle everything from brake failures to diesel engine diagnostics without dragging your truck to some shop across town. We’ve got the equipment to run full system diagnostics, perform ABS sensor repairs, and handle complex air system problems right there on the highway shoulder.
You’re back hauling loads instead of sitting in a waiting room. Your schedule stays on track, your income keeps flowing, and you avoid those expensive towing bills that can easily run $300-500 for a semi truck. When time is money, mobile repair makes financial sense.
We’ve been keeping Michigan truckers moving for over four decades. We’re not some fly-by-night operation – we’re a family business that understands what it takes to make a living behind the wheel in this industry.
Dr. Phillip Marin leads our team with three Ph.D. degrees in Diesel Engineering, Drivetrains, and Metal Alloys. That’s the kind of deep technical expertise you want when your Cummins won’t start, your air brakes are acting up, or you’re dealing with complex emissions system problems that stump other mechanics.
We serve the I-75 and I-94 corridors through Ecorse and Wayne County because we know these roads, the traffic patterns, and the challenges drivers face. We’ve seen every type of breakdown, handled every brand of truck, and fixed problems that would leave other shops scratching their heads and ordering parts they don’t understand.
You call us at 313-999-3088 and tell us where you’re stuck and what’s happening with your truck. We dispatch our mobile repair unit immediately – usually within minutes of your call, not hours like some services that make you wait around.
Our technician arrives with a fully stocked truck and runs comprehensive diagnostics to pinpoint exactly what’s wrong. No guessing, no trial and error, no “let’s try this and see what happens.” We use professional diagnostic equipment that talks to your truck’s computer systems and gives us real data about what’s failing.
Most repairs happen right there on the roadside. If we need to order a specialized part, we’ll get you mobile enough to reach our shop or coordinate the fastest solution possible. You’re not sitting around wondering what’s happening, when you’ll be moving again, or how much this is going to cost your bottom line.

We handle the full range of semi truck and trailer repairs that keep you compliant, profitable, and moving down the road.

Our mobile welding capability means we can fix cracked frames, damaged brackets, and structural issues right on the highway shoulder. Tire service includes on-site tire replacement, wheel bearing repairs, and emergency tire patches that get you safely to your destination. We also handle on-site truck battery replacement and jump starts when your electrical system fails.
Ecorse sits right in the heart of Michigan’s freight corridor, where I-75 and I-94 carry thousands of trucks daily between Detroit, Toledo, and points south. We’ve positioned our fleet roadside assistance service to reach anywhere in this critical transportation zone fast, because we understand how tight delivery schedules work and what missed appointments cost you in customer relationships and repeat business.
We typically reach breakdowns within 30-45 minutes of your call, depending on traffic conditions and your exact location along the I-75 corridor. Our mobile repair unit is strategically positioned to serve the Ecorse area and surrounding Wayne County locations with minimal response times.
We monitor traffic patterns throughout the day and position our trucks accordingly during peak hours. If you’re stuck during rush hour or in heavy construction zones, we’ll give you an honest time estimate upfront and keep you updated on our progress. We know you’re probably getting calls from dispatch or customers asking about delays, so we make sure you have accurate information to pass along.
The key is calling us immediately when you realize you have a problem that’s going to put you out of service. The sooner we know where you are and what symptoms you’re experiencing, the faster we can get help rolling your way with the right tools and parts loaded.
Our mobile units are equipped to handle most common roadside repairs including brake adjustments, air system leaks, electrical problems, alternator replacement, battery service, starter repairs, and basic engine work. We also carry welding equipment for structural fixes and emergency fabrication needs.
For tire service, we can replace blown tires, repair wheel bearing issues, handle emergency tire repairs, and perform roadside tire changes on both truck and trailer. Our diagnostic equipment works with all major truck brands to identify engine codes, transmission problems, ABS sensor issues, and electrical faults that trigger warning lights.
If a repair requires specialized equipment or extensive teardown that can’t be done safely on the roadside, we’ll assess whether we can make a temporary fix to get you mobile, then complete the permanent repair at our shop. We’re completely honest about what can be done roadside versus what needs proper shop facilities – no one benefits from attempting repairs that aren’t going to hold up.
Yes, we work on all major truck manufacturers including Freightliner, Peterbilt, Kenworth, Volvo, Mack, International, and others. Our diagnostic equipment and technical expertise cover Cummins, Detroit Diesel, CAT, Paccar, Mercedes, and other common engine platforms you’ll find in modern commercial trucks.
Dr. Marin’s background in diesel engineering means we understand the technical differences between engine families, how various systems interact, and the common failure points for each manufacturer. Whether you’re running a newer truck with advanced emissions systems and electronic controls or an older model with mechanical injection and simpler systems, we have the knowledge base to diagnose and repair it properly.
We also maintain relationships with parts suppliers for all major brands, so we can source components quickly when needed for repairs. This includes both OEM and quality aftermarket parts, depending on your preference and budget considerations for the specific repair.
Our mobile service rates are competitive and completely transparent – no hidden fees, surprise charges, or inflated parts markup that some shops use to pad their bills. We charge a reasonable service call fee to dispatch our mobile unit to your location, then provide a clear, written estimate for any needed repairs before starting work.
You’ll often save money compared to traditional shops because you avoid expensive towing charges, which can easily run $300-500 for a semi truck depending on distance and complexity. Our mobile approach also eliminates the shop overhead costs that brick-and-mortar facilities typically pass on to customers through higher labor rates.
We accept cash, credit cards, and most fleet payment methods including Comdata, EFS, and T-Chek. For regular customers and fleet accounts, we offer volume discounts and priority scheduling arrangements to keep your operation running smoothly and minimize your total transportation costs.
Absolutely. We provide true 24/7 emergency service, 365 days a year including all major holidays. Truck breakdowns don’t follow business hours, delivery schedules don’t stop for weekends, and neither do we. Whether it’s 2 AM on a Sunday or Thanksgiving morning, a real person will answer when you call 313-999-3088.
Our emergency response maintains the same quality standards and expertise as regular business hours. We don’t send inexperienced technicians or subcontractors for after-hours calls – you get the same skilled service and diagnostic capability regardless of when you need help. Emergency situations often require quick thinking and creative solutions, which is where experience really matters.
Holiday and weekend emergency rates may apply for after-hours calls, but we’re completely upfront about pricing before dispatching our truck. When you’re stuck and losing money on missed deliveries or detention time, getting back on the road quickly usually makes the emergency service fee a smart investment in your business.
Yes, we can address most DOT compliance problems that arise during roadside inspections or safety checks. This includes brake adjustments, lighting repairs, air leak fixes, exhaust system problems, and other safety-related issues that can put trucks out of service and cost you time and money.
We understand Michigan DOT requirements and federal FMCSA regulations that apply to commercial vehicles operating in interstate commerce. If an inspector finds a violation during a routine check, we can often make the necessary repairs on-site to get your truck back in compliance immediately, avoiding extended downtime and potential fines.
For scheduled DOT inspections and more comprehensive safety checks, we recommend bringing your truck to our shop where we have more extensive testing equipment and can perform thorough pre-inspection services. But for emergency compliance issues that happen during routine roadside inspections, our mobile service can usually get you legal and rolling again without major delays to your schedule.
