You know the math. Every hour your truck sits broken means missed loads, angry dispatchers, and lost revenue that adds up fast.
That’s why we built our mobile semi truck repair service around speed. Our ASE certified mechanics roll up with the parts and tools to fix most problems right where you’re stranded. No waiting for a tow. No sitting in some shop for days.
We handle everything from diesel engine diagnostics to brake repairs, tire changes to electrical problems. The stuff that actually breaks down on I-75, I-94, and the roads around Taylor where your truck makes its living.
Dr. Phillip Marin leads our team at J&J Truck & Trailer Repair with three Ph.D. degrees in Diesel Engineering, Drivetrains, and Metal Alloys. That’s not typical for a roadside mechanic, but nothing about truck breakdowns is typical either.
Since 1999, our family operation has been the go-to for Taylor area truckers who need real repairs, not band-aid fixes. We’re the ones dispatchers call when their drivers are stuck on Telegraph Road or broken down at the I-75 interchange.
Our mobile units stock the parts that actually fail on semis. Brake chambers, air lines, batteries, alternators, the components that strand trucks in Taylor’s industrial corridors where freight moves through Michigan’s logistics hub.
Call 313-999-3088 and we dispatch immediately. No phone tag, no waiting for callbacks. We get your location and the problem, then roll.
Our mobile unit arrives with diagnostic equipment and common repair parts. We troubleshoot the issue on-site, explain what’s wrong, and give you a straight price quote before starting work.
Most repairs happen right there. Engine won’t start? We test the electrical system and replace what’s failed. Air brake problems? We’ve got the chambers, lines, and fittings. Tire blowout? We mount and balance new rubber on the spot. If it’s something major that needs shop work, we’ll get you towed to the right place instead of the nearest one.

Taylor sits right in the heart of Michigan’s freight corridor. Trucks running I-94 between Detroit and Chicago break down here regularly, usually with predictable problems.
Diesel engine issues top the list. Computer codes, injector problems, turbo failures, cooling system leaks. We diagnose with professional scan tools, not guesswork, and stock the sensors and components that actually fail on Cummins, Cat, and Detroit engines.
Brake system repairs keep us busy too. Air brake chambers, ABS sensors, brake lines, and the electrical connections that corrode in Michigan winters. We handle DOT-level brake work that gets you legal and safe, not just moving. Reefer trailer repairs round out our mobile services, covering Thermo-King and Carrier units that keep freight cold from Taylor to anywhere.
We typically arrive within 30-45 minutes in the Taylor area, often faster during normal business hours. Our mobile units cover I-75, I-94, Telegraph Road, and the industrial areas where most breakdowns happen.
Response time depends on your exact location and our current calls, but we prioritize emergency situations where trucks are blocking traffic or creating safety hazards. We dispatch immediately when you call 313-999-3088 and give you an accurate arrival estimate.
Our mobile units handle about 70% of common breakdowns right where you’re stranded. This includes battery and alternator replacement, brake chamber and air line repairs, tire changes, basic electrical troubleshooting, and minor engine issues like sensor replacement.
We stock parts for major truck brands and common trailer components. Complex repairs like transmission work, major engine rebuilds, or extensive electrical rewiring require shop facilities. But we’ll diagnose the problem on-site and arrange proper towing if needed, so you’re not guessing about what’s wrong.
Yes, our ASE certified mechanics work on all major semi truck brands including Freightliner, Peterbilt, Kenworth, Volvo, International, and Mack. We service engines from Cummins, Cat, Detroit Diesel, and other manufacturers common in commercial trucking.
For trailers, we handle dry vans, reefers, flatbeds, and specialized equipment. Our reefer repair covers both Thermo-King and Carrier refrigeration units. Dr. Marin’s advanced degrees in diesel engineering and drivetrains mean we understand the systems across different manufacturers, not just one brand.
Our rates stay the same 24/7 – no premium charges for nights, weekends, or holidays. Basic service calls start around $150, with parts and additional labor billed separately at competitive rates.
We give you a clear estimate before starting work, so there are no surprises. Simple fixes like battery replacement or tire changes typically run $200-500 total. More complex repairs vary based on parts needed, but we stock common components to avoid inflated emergency pricing you’d pay elsewhere.
Absolutely. We handle DOT-level brake repairs, lighting issues, and other violations that put trucks out of service. Our mechanics understand FMCSA requirements and make repairs that satisfy inspectors, not just get you moving.
Common DOT fixes include brake adjustments, air system leaks, defective lights, and worn components that fail inspection. We carry DOT-approved parts and know the standards inspectors check. Getting back in compliance quickly means less downtime and fewer complications with your safety rating.
Yes, we operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Truck breakdowns don’t follow business hours, and neither do we. Our mobile units respond to emergency calls at 3 AM just as fast as 3 PM.
Night and weekend service costs the same as daytime repairs – we don’t add premium charges when you’re already dealing with the stress and expense of a breakdown. Call 313-999-3088 anytime and you’ll reach our dispatch, not an answering service. Real people, real trucks, real repairs around the clock.
