When your semi breaks down on I-75 or Telegraph Road, every minute costs money. You need a repair team that shows up fast with the right tools and gets the job done right the first time.
That’s exactly what happens when you call us. Our mobile service trucks arrive equipped with everything needed to diagnose and fix most problems on the spot. No waiting for parts. No guessing at what’s wrong.
You get back to hauling freight while other drivers are still waiting for help. That’s the difference between losing a day’s pay and keeping your schedule on track.
J&J Truck & Trailer Repair has been the go-to emergency service for Lincoln Park truckers since the 1980s. We know every major route through Wayne County, from the I-94 corridor to Telegraph Road and everything in between.
Dr. Phillip Marin leads our team with three Ph.D. degrees in Diesel Engineering, Drivetrains, and Metal Alloys. That level of expertise means faster diagnosis and repairs that actually last.
When you’re broken down near the Lincoln Park industrial corridor or anywhere in the Detroit metro area, you’re calling people who’ve seen it all and fixed it all. Family-owned, locally-based, and available every hour of every day.
Call 313-999-3088 and our dispatch immediately locates the nearest service truck to your breakdown location. Most of the time, that’s within 10-15 miles of where you’re stranded.
Our technician arrives with a fully-equipped service truck including diagnostic computers, welding equipment, air compressors, and the most commonly needed parts. We diagnose the problem quickly and give you a straight answer about what it’ll take to fix it.

Our mobile repair service covers everything that can go wrong with your truck or trailer. Engine diagnostics and repairs, brake system work including ABS sensors, air system problems, electrical issues, and emergency tire changes.
Lincoln Park’s location puts heavy trucks right in the path of Detroit’s industrial traffic. That means more wear on brake systems from stop-and-go driving and more stress on engines from constant idling. We see these patterns every day and know exactly how to fix them efficiently.
Reefer trailer repairs are another specialty, crucial for the food distribution companies operating throughout Wayne County. When your refrigeration system fails with a load of perishables, you need someone who can get it running again fast. That’s us.
Most of the time, we can have a service truck to your location within 45-60 minutes of your call. Our dispatch system locates the nearest available technician, and since we’ve been serving the Detroit metro area for over 40 years, we usually have someone within 10-15 miles of your breakdown.
Response time depends on your exact location and current traffic conditions, but we prioritize emergency calls. If you’re blocking traffic or in an unsafe location, we’ll get to you even faster. Call 313-999-3088 and we’ll give you an accurate arrival estimate based on your specific situation.
Our mobile service trucks are equipped to handle most common breakdowns right where you’re stranded. This includes engine diagnostics and many engine repairs, brake system work, air system problems, electrical troubleshooting, starter and alternator replacement, and emergency tire changes.
We carry diagnostic computers that work with all major truck manufacturers, plus welding equipment, air compressors, and a full inventory of commonly needed parts like brake chambers, air governors, hoses, and electrical components. If we can’t fix it on-site, we’ll diagnose the problem and arrange proper towing to get it repaired quickly.
The only repairs we typically can’t handle roadside are major engine rebuilds or transmission overhauls that require shop equipment.
Yes, we operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. Fleet operators especially need reliable emergency service because breakdowns don’t wait for business hours, and every hour of downtime costs money.
We understand the pressure fleet managers face to keep trucks moving and drivers on schedule. That’s why we offer priority response for fleet accounts and can handle multiple breakdowns simultaneously if needed. We also accept all major fleet credit cards and provide detailed service reports for your maintenance records.
Many of our long-term fleet customers have our direct dispatch number programmed into their systems for faster response when emergencies happen.
We service all of Wayne County and the broader Detroit metro area, including major trucking routes like I-75, I-94, I-96, and I-275. This covers Lincoln Park, Detroit, Dearborn, Taylor, Southgate, Wyandotte, and surrounding communities.
Our service area extends to wherever trucks commonly travel through southeastern Michigan. If you’re on a major highway or trucking route within about 50 miles of our Detroit base, we can reach you. We’re especially familiar with the industrial corridors around Lincoln Park where many trucking companies operate.
When you call, our dispatch will confirm we can reach your location and give you an accurate response time based on current truck availability and traffic conditions.
Emergency repair costs depend on what’s actually wrong with your truck, but we always give you a clear estimate before starting any work. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges – you know what you’re paying upfront.
Our service call fee covers the technician coming to your location and diagnosing the problem. From there, repair costs depend on parts and labor needed. Simple fixes like replacing a blown fuse or air line might cost under $200 total, while more complex repairs like starter replacement could run $400-800 depending on your truck model.
We accept cash, credit cards, and all major fleet payment methods. Most customers find our pricing fair compared to other emergency services, especially considering the quality of work and speed of response you get.
Yes, reefer trailer repair is one of our specialties. We work on all major refrigeration brands including Thermo King and Carrier units. This is critical service for the food distribution companies operating throughout the Lincoln Park and Detroit area.
When your reefer unit fails with a load of perishables, you’re racing against time and temperature. Our technicians carry diagnostic equipment for refrigeration systems and stock common parts like sensors, belts, and electrical components. We can handle most reefer problems on-site, from compressor issues to electrical faults.
If the problem requires major component replacement that we can’t do roadside, we’ll get your unit running temporarily if possible and direct you to the nearest facility for complete repairs. The goal is always to save your load first, then get you back to full operation.
