Hear from Our Customers
When your semi breaks down near Newport, every minute costs you money. Fleet operators lose between $450-$750 per day when trucks aren’t rolling, and that’s just the direct revenue loss. Factor in missed delivery windows, frustrated customers, and the ripple effect on your other loads, and a simple breakdown becomes an expensive nightmare.
That’s exactly why we bring the repair shop to you. No towing fees to drain your budget. No waiting days for shop availability. No sitting around wondering when you’ll get back to work. Our mobile semi truck repair service gets you diagnosed, repaired, and rolling again—often the same day.
You’re not just getting a quick fix, either. You’re getting repairs that last, done by technicians who understand that your livelihood depends on reliable equipment. When we’re finished, you drive away confident that the problem is actually solved.
We’ve been the go-to choice for Newport area truckers for over four decades. What started as a family business has grown into one of Southeast Michigan’s most trusted mobile repair services, but we’ve never lost that personal touch that makes all the difference when you’re stranded.
Led by Dr. Phillip Marin—yes, an actual Ph.D. in Diesel Engineering, plus advanced degrees in Drivetrains and Metal Alloys—our team brings a level of expertise that’s rare in this industry. We’re not just turning wrenches; we’re diagnosing complex problems and implementing solutions that prevent future breakdowns.
Newport sits right in the heart of Michigan’s busiest freight corridors. I-75, Telegraph Road, US-24—we know these routes like the back of our hands because we’ve been rescuing drivers on them for decades. Whether you’re hauling through Monroe County or making deliveries around the Detroit metro area, you’re in our service zone.
When your truck goes down, the last thing you need is confusion about what happens next. Our process is straightforward: you call, we respond, we fix it right.
First, we dispatch our closest mobile unit to your exact location. No guesswork, no “somewhere near Exit 9″—we use GPS to find you fast. Our average response time in the Newport area is under an hour, often much faster depending on where you are along I-75 or Telegraph Road.
Next, our technician performs a complete diagnostic assessment. This isn’t a quick glance under the hood. We’re talking comprehensive system checks using professional-grade diagnostic equipment. You’ll know exactly what’s wrong, what it’ll take to fix it, and what it’s going to cost before any work begins. No surprises, no inflated bills after the fact.
Finally, we complete the repair on-site whenever possible. Whether it’s diesel engine diagnostics, brake system repairs, electrical troubleshooting, or emergency tire replacement, we carry the tools and parts needed for most common issues. If we can’t complete the repair safely at your location, we’ll coordinate the most efficient towing solution to minimize your downtime.

Newport’s location along major shipping routes means trucks here face specific challenges. Heavy traffic on I-75 creates stop-and-go conditions that stress brake systems. The industrial areas around Telegraph Road expose vehicles to debris and road hazards. Cold Michigan winters demand reliable air systems and properly functioning reefer units.
We’ve designed our mobile service to handle these exact issues. Our diesel engine diagnostics can pinpoint everything from injector problems to turbo failures. Our brake specialists handle everything from routine pad replacement to complete ABS system overhauls. Need emergency tire service? We carry commercial-grade tires and can handle roadside replacements even in tight spaces.
For Newport’s growing logistics companies, we offer fleet roadside assistance programs that provide priority response and volume pricing. Local businesses like the distribution centers near the I-75 corridor rely on our consistent service to keep their delivery schedules on track. We understand that in this area, a breakdown doesn’t just affect one driver—it can impact an entire supply chain.
Our mobile welding capabilities mean we can handle structural repairs that would otherwise require expensive shop visits. Air system repairs, hydraulic troubleshooting, electrical diagnostics—if it keeps trucks moving, we can fix it on-site.
Our average response time in the Newport area is under one hour, often much faster depending on your exact location and our technician availability. We maintain mobile units strategically positioned throughout Southeast Michigan, with particular focus on the I-75 corridor and Telegraph Road area where most Newport-area breakdowns occur.
When you call our 24/7 dispatch line, we immediately locate our nearest available technician and provide you with an accurate ETA. We understand that every minute your truck is down costs money, so we prioritize emergency calls and keep our response times as short as possible. For locations right along major highways like I-75 near Newport, we can often arrive in 30-45 minutes.
We can handle about 80% of common semi truck problems right at your location without any towing required. This includes diesel engine diagnostics and many engine repairs, complete brake system service including ABS repairs, electrical troubleshooting, air system repairs, tire replacements, battery service, and mobile welding for structural issues.
The repairs that typically require towing involve major engine rebuilds, transmission overhauls, or situations where safety concerns prevent roadside work. Even then, we’ll complete as much diagnostic work as possible on-site so the receiving shop knows exactly what needs to be done, reducing your total downtime. Our goal is always to get you rolling again without the expense and delay of towing.
Yes, we provide true 24/7 emergency semi truck repair service throughout the Newport area and surrounding regions. Breakdowns don’t follow business hours, and neither do we. Our dispatch center operates around the clock, and we maintain on-call technicians ready to respond to emergencies at any time.
Night and weekend calls don’t carry premium pricing—we believe emergency repairs shouldn’t cost extra just because they happen at inconvenient times. Whether it’s 2 AM on I-75 or Sunday afternoon on Telegraph Road, you’ll get the same professional service and fair pricing. Our after-hours response times are typically similar to daytime calls because we staff accordingly.
Mobile repair often costs less than traditional shop service when you factor in all expenses. While our labor rates are competitive with quality shops, you save significantly on towing costs, which can range from $200-500 depending on distance and truck size. You also avoid the hidden costs of downtime—lost revenue, missed delivery windows, and potential customer penalties.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. There are no surprise charges for diagnostics, no inflated parts markup, and no additional fees for coming to your location. Many of our Newport-area customers find that mobile repair costs 20-30% less than the total expense of towing plus shop repairs, while getting them back on the road much faster.
Absolutely. We work with several Newport area logistics companies, construction firms, and transportation businesses to provide priority fleet roadside assistance. Our fleet programs include guaranteed response times, volume pricing discounts, and scheduled preventive maintenance services that can be performed at your facility.
Fleet contracts make particular sense for businesses operating multiple trucks in the Newport area because you get consistent service from technicians who know your equipment. We maintain detailed service records for each vehicle, track maintenance schedules, and can identify patterns that help prevent future breakdowns. Many local fleets find this proactive approach actually reduces their total maintenance costs while improving uptime.
The biggest difference is our technical expertise. Dr. Phillip Marin, our lead technician, holds three Ph.D. degrees in Diesel Engineering, Drivetrains, and Metal Alloys. This isn’t typical in the mobile repair industry—you’re getting engineering-level knowledge applied to your repair, not just basic mechanical work.
We’ve also been serving the Detroit metro area for over 40 years, so we understand the specific challenges trucks face in this region. Our family-owned business means you get personalized service and direct accountability. When something goes wrong, you’re talking to the people who can actually fix it, not a call center. Plus, our response times in the Newport area are consistently faster than larger national services because we’re locally based and know these roads intimately.
