Hear from Our Customers
Your truck breaks down on I-75 at 2 AM. Instead of waiting hours for a tow to an unknown shop, our mobile unit arrives with diagnostic equipment and parts. We fix most problems right where you sit.
That’s what mobile semi truck repair should look like. No guessing games about shop availability. No wondering if we understand your Cummins engine or Meritor brakes. Just fast, professional service that gets you back to earning.
We handle everything from brake adjustments to transmission diagnostics. Our trucks carry the parts and tools needed for most common repairs. When we can’t fix it roadside, we’ll get you to a trusted shop quickly.
We’ve been keeping Detroit-area trucks moving since the 1980s. We’re family-owned, which means when you call, you’re talking to people who actually care about solving your problem.
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 proof we understand the complex systems that keep your truck running.
Hamtramck sits right in the heart of Michigan’s busiest freight corridors. We know these roads, these routes, and the challenges drivers face moving through Detroit’s industrial zones. When you’re hauling freight through the I-75/I-94 interchange or dealing with a breakdown near the Ambassador Bridge, you need people who get it.
Call us and we dispatch immediately. Our mobile unit carries diagnostic computers, common parts, and specialized tools for most truck systems. No waiting to see if we can help—we know within minutes of arrival.
First, we run diagnostics to identify the exact problem. Could be a sensor throwing codes, air brake system leak, or transmission issue. We explain what’s wrong in plain terms, not technical jargon.
If it’s fixable roadside, we handle it on the spot. Parts we don’t carry get sourced quickly through our supplier network. For major repairs requiring shop work, we coordinate the tow and stay involved until your truck is road-ready.

We service all major truck systems because breakdowns don’t pick convenient categories. Engine diagnostics, brake repairs, electrical troubleshooting, transmission service, air system repairs, tire changes, fuel delivery, and jump starts—all handled by our mobile units.
Hamtramck’s location puts you minutes from major freight destinations but also in the path of heavy traffic and challenging driving conditions. Stop-and-go traffic wears brakes faster. Winter conditions stress electrical systems. Heavy loads strain transmissions.
Our service area covers the entire Detroit metro region, including the critical I-75 corridor through Hamtramck, I-94 east-west routes, and connections to the Ambassador Bridge and Detroit-Windsor Tunnel. We understand the freight patterns, the trouble spots, and the urgency of keeping commerce moving through Michigan’s busiest trade corridors.
Our average response time in the Hamtramck area is under 45 minutes, often much faster depending on your exact location and our unit positioning. We maintain mobile service trucks strategically positioned throughout the Detroit metro area to minimize response times.
When you call, we immediately dispatch the closest available unit while gathering details about your truck and the problem. This allows our technician to arrive prepared with the right diagnostic equipment and commonly needed parts for your specific issue.
For emergencies on major routes like I-75 or I-94, we prioritize rapid response because we understand every minute of downtime costs you money and affects delivery schedules.
We handle most brake system repairs directly at your breakdown location, including air brake adjustments, brake chamber replacements, air line repairs, and brake pad changes. Our mobile units carry brake components for major truck manufacturers and the pneumatic tools needed for proper installation.
Common roadside brake repairs include fixing air leaks in brake lines, replacing faulty brake chambers, adjusting brake shoes, and diagnosing ABS sensor issues. We also handle emergency brake releases when trucks get stuck with brakes locked up.
For more complex brake work requiring heavy equipment or major component replacement, we’ll assess whether temporary repairs can get you safely to a shop or if immediate towing is the safer option.
Yes, we service all major semi truck manufacturers including Freightliner, Peterbilt, Kenworth, Volvo, Mack, and International. Our diagnostic equipment works with Detroit Diesel, Cummins, Caterpillar, and other major engine brands commonly found in commercial trucks.
Dr. Marin’s specialized education in diesel engineering and drivetrains means our team understands the technical differences between manufacturers and can quickly adapt repair approaches based on your specific truck’s systems.
We stock parts for the most common repairs across different truck brands, and our supplier network allows us to source specialized components quickly when needed for less common issues.
We provide DOT inspections and can address most compliance-related repairs immediately. This includes brake adjustments to meet DOT standards, lighting repairs, tire replacements for tread depth compliance, and other safety system repairs required for legal operation.
Our technicians understand DOT regulations and can identify potential violations during routine service calls, helping you avoid costly fines and out-of-service orders during roadside inspections.
If we find issues that require shop-level repairs to meet DOT standards, we’ll coordinate with certified facilities and help expedite the work to minimize your downtime and get you back in compliance quickly.
First, get your truck to the shoulder safely and activate your hazard lights. If possible, position your truck beyond an exit ramp or in a wide shoulder area away from traffic flow. Call us immediately at our emergency number—don’t wait to see if the problem resolves itself.
Stay with your truck but remain aware of traffic. Michigan State Police recommend drivers exit the vehicle on the side away from traffic when safe to do so. We’ll guide you through immediate safety steps while our mobile unit responds to your location.
I-75 through Hamtramck sees heavy truck traffic, especially near the I-94 interchange. Our technicians know these routes well and can navigate traffic efficiently to reach you. We also coordinate with local authorities when necessary for traffic control during repairs.
Mobile repair costs vary based on the specific problem, parts needed, and time required, but our service call fee covers the diagnostic work and basic labor. We provide upfront pricing before starting any repair work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay.
Many roadside repairs like brake adjustments, sensor replacements, or minor electrical fixes cost significantly less than towing fees plus shop labor rates. Complex repairs requiring major parts or extensive labor are priced competitively with shop rates, but you save on towing and often get back on the road faster.
We accept major fleet cards, credit cards, and can work with your company’s billing requirements. Emergency repairs that get you rolling again often cost less than the revenue lost during extended downtime waiting for shop availability.
