Hear from Our Customers
When your semi breaks down, every minute costs you money. You’re not just dealing with repair bills—you’re losing loads, missing deadlines, and watching your profits disappear while your truck sits idle.
That’s exactly why we bring the shop to you. No waiting for tow trucks, no expensive towing fees, no sitting in some repair shop for days while they figure out what’s wrong.
Our mobile technicians arrive with everything needed to diagnose and fix most problems on the spot. Whether you’re broken down on I-75, stuck at a loading dock in Riverview, or dealing with a fleet emergency, we get you moving again without the runaround.
We’ve been keeping trucks moving in the Detroit metro area for over four decades. This isn’t some fly-by-night operation—this is a family business built on actually solving problems.
Dr. Phillip Marin leads our team with three Ph.D. degrees in Diesel Engineering, Drivetrains, and Metal Alloys. When other shops are guessing, he knows exactly what’s wrong and how to fix it right the first time.
Based at 8332 Kirkwood St in Detroit, we serve Riverview, Wayne County, and the entire southeast Michigan region. We’ve seen every breakdown scenario you can imagine, and plenty you probably can’t.
You call, we roll. It’s that straightforward, but here’s exactly what happens when you need emergency semi truck repair in Riverview.
First, our dispatch gets your location and problem details. We’re not going to waste your time with twenty questions—just the basics so our technician arrives prepared with the right tools and parts.
Next, our mobile unit reaches you typically within 45-60 minutes, equipped with diagnostic equipment for Cummins, Caterpillar, Detroit Diesel, International, and other major systems. We diagnose the problem on-site using dealer-level diagnostic tools.
Finally, we either fix it on the spot or, if it’s something that requires shop work, we’ll tow you to our facility. Either way, you’re not stuck wondering what happens next or dealing with multiple vendors.

We handle everything from routine maintenance to complex emergency repairs. Diesel engine diagnostics and repairs, brake service including ABS and air brake systems, transmission and drivetrain work, and electrical troubleshooting.
Our mobile welding capabilities mean we can fix cracked frames, broken brackets, and other structural issues right where you’re parked. We also provide on-site tire replacement, wheel bearing repairs, fuel delivery, and jump starts.
For Riverview-area fleets, we offer customized maintenance programs that keep your trucks running and reduce unexpected breakdowns. The I-75 corridor sees heavy commercial traffic, and we know the common failure points that plague trucks running these routes day after day.
We typically arrive within 45-60 minutes of your call, depending on your exact location and our current service calls. Our mobile units are strategically positioned throughout the Detroit metro area to minimize response times.
If you’re broken down on I-75 near the Riverview exits or along Telegraph Road, we can often reach you even faster since these are high-traffic commercial routes we serve regularly. We understand that every minute your truck is down costs you money, so we prioritize emergency calls and dispatch the closest available technician immediately.
Our 24/7 availability means you get the same fast response whether it’s 2 PM on Tuesday or 2 AM on Sunday. No waiting until Monday morning or dealing with answering services—you talk directly to our dispatch team who can get help rolling your way.
Our mobile units handle about 85% of common semi truck problems right where you’re parked. This includes diesel engine diagnostics using dealer-level equipment for Cummins, Caterpillar, Detroit Diesel, International, Isuzu, and Hino systems.
We perform brake repairs including ABS sensor replacement, air brake adjustments, and brake chamber work. Electrical problems, alternator replacement, battery service, and starter repairs are all handled on-site. Our mobile welding capability covers cracked frames, broken brackets, and structural repairs.
For issues requiring major engine work, transmission rebuilds, or extensive parts replacement, we’ll tow your truck to our fully equipped shop. But the majority of breakdowns that leave drivers stranded—fuel system problems, electrical failures, brake issues, and cooling system repairs—we fix on the spot so you can get back to making money.
Absolutely. We work with fleets of all sizes throughout the Riverview and Detroit metro area, from owner-operators with two trucks to companies running hundreds of units. Our fleet programs are designed to minimize your downtime and reduce emergency repair costs.
We can set up scheduled maintenance visits at your facility, handling everything from oil changes and DOT inspections to preventive maintenance that catches problems before they leave your drivers stranded. Many of our fleet customers see 30-40% fewer emergency breakdowns after implementing our maintenance programs.
Fleet discounts are available, and we can customize service agreements based on your specific needs and routes. If your trucks regularly run the I-75 corridor through Riverview, we know the stress points and can adjust maintenance intervals accordingly to prevent common failures.
Emergency repair costs vary depending on the problem, but our mobile service often saves you significant money compared to traditional repair shops. You eliminate towing fees, which can run $200-500 depending on distance, and you avoid the lost revenue from extended downtime.
Our service calls start at competitive hourly rates, with no hidden fees for mileage, after-hours service, or diagnostic time. We provide upfront quotes before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we turn a wrench.
Many repairs that would cost $1,500-2,000 at a shop (including towing and downtime) end up costing 30-50% less when we fix them on-site. Plus, you’re back on the road in hours instead of days, which often more than pays for the repair cost in recovered revenue.
Yes, we handle reefer trailer repairs and refrigeration system diagnostics. Our technicians are experienced with major reefer brands and can troubleshoot compressor issues, electrical problems, and refrigerant leaks that keep your cold chain cargo at risk.
Reefer problems can cost you an entire load if not addressed quickly, especially during Michigan’s hot summers or when hauling temperature-sensitive freight. We carry common reefer parts and refrigerant in our mobile units to handle many repairs on-site.
For complex compressor rebuilds or major system overhauls, we coordinate with specialized reefer shops while ensuring your trailer gets priority service. We understand that reefer downtime often means spoiled cargo and angry customers, so these calls get expedited response regardless of the time or day.
Our diagnostic equipment covers all major truck manufacturers including Freightliner, Peterbilt, Kenworth, Volvo, Mack, International, and others. Dr. Marin’s expertise spans multiple engine families—Cummins, Caterpillar, Detroit Diesel, International MaxxForce, and more.
We also service various transmission types including Eaton Fuller, Allison automatics, and other major drivetrain components. Our mobile units carry parts for common repairs across different truck makes, though some specialized components may require ordering.
The advantage of our experience is that we’ve worked on virtually every truck configuration running Michigan roads. Whether you’re driving a newer emissions-compliant truck or an older pre-DEF unit, we have the knowledge and tools to diagnose problems accurately and get you back on the road quickly.
