Hear from Our Customers
You’re not making money sitting on the shoulder of I-75. That’s why we bring the shop to you, whether you’re dealing with a blown tire, brake failure, or engine trouble.
Most breakdowns that strand drivers for hours get resolved on-site in a fraction of the time. Our mobile units carry the diagnostic equipment and common parts needed for immediate repairs. When we can’t fix it roadside, we’ll get you to our shop or arrange proper towing – but that’s the exception, not the rule.
The difference is having technicians who understand that your truck is your livelihood, not just another repair job.
We’ve been handling roadside emergencies in the Detroit metro area since 1999, building on over four decades of diesel repair experience.
Dr. Phillip Marin leads our team with three Ph.D. degrees in Diesel Engineering, Drivetrains, and Metal Alloys. That level of technical knowledge matters when you’re diagnosing complex engine codes or troubleshooting electrical systems that leave other shops guessing.
We know the I-75 corridor, the truck stops, and the routes that keep Southeast Michigan’s freight moving. When you call us, you’re getting locals who understand both the technical and practical sides of keeping trucks running in this area.
Call us and we dispatch immediately. Our technician arrives with diagnostic equipment to identify the problem quickly – no guesswork, no trial and error.
Most repairs happen on-site. We carry common parts like brake components, belts, hoses, and electrical components. For tire issues, we handle everything from repairs to full replacements right where you’re stranded.
If the repair requires shop work, we’ll either tow you to our facility or arrange transport to a location that makes sense for your route. Throughout the process, we keep you informed about timing, costs, and options so you can make decisions about your schedule and cargo.

Our service range covers the full spectrum of semi truck problems. Engine diagnostics and repairs, including turbo and injection system work. Brake service from pad replacement to complete air system overhauls. Electrical troubleshooting for everything from alternator failures to complex computer issues.
We handle tire service including on-site replacement, wheel bearing work, and emergency tire repairs. Transmission problems, drivetrain issues, and suspension repairs are all within our capabilities. For reefer units, we service both Thermo-King and Carrier systems to protect temperature-sensitive cargo.
The Trenton area sees heavy truck traffic from the I-75 and I-94 corridors, plus local industrial freight. We understand the pressure to minimize downtime, whether you’re running automotive parts to the plants or hauling general freight through the region. Our goal is getting you back to making money, not extending your stay in our service area.
We typically arrive within 30-60 minutes of your call, depending on your exact location and current service calls. Our dispatch system prioritizes emergency calls, especially for situations involving safety hazards or blocking traffic.
For breakdowns on major routes like I-75, I-94, or US-24, response times are usually on the shorter end of that range. We maintain mobile units strategically positioned to serve the Detroit metro area efficiently.
If we’re handling multiple emergencies, we’ll give you an honest time estimate and help coordinate with your dispatcher or fleet manager about delays.
Most common breakdowns get resolved roadside. This includes tire repairs and replacements, brake adjustments and component replacement, alternator and starter repairs, belt and hose replacement, and basic electrical troubleshooting.
We carry diagnostic equipment to read engine codes and identify problems with fuel systems, emissions components, and computer-controlled systems. For air system problems, we can handle leaks, valve replacements, and compressor issues in the field.
The repairs that typically require shop work involve major engine work, transmission rebuilds, or situations where we need specialized lifting equipment. But even then, we can often get you mobile enough to reach our shop or a preferred facility under your own power.
Yes, we service all major truck manufacturers including Freightliner, Peterbilt, Kenworth, International, Volvo, and Mack. Our diagnostic equipment works with the computer systems in both older and current model trucks.
Dr. Marin’s background covers the engineering principles that apply across different manufacturers, so we’re not limited to specific brands. We stock common parts that fit multiple makes, and our supplier network can source specialized components quickly when needed.
Whether you’re running a 2024 Freightliner or maintaining an older Peterbilt, we have the knowledge and tools to diagnose and repair the problem correctly.
Our emergency service call starts at a base rate that covers dispatch and the first hour on-site. Additional labor is charged in half-hour increments at our standard shop rate. Parts are billed at cost plus a reasonable markup.
We provide estimates before starting work whenever possible, and we’ll discuss options if the repair cost approaches what you might expect to pay. For simple fixes like jump-starts or minor adjustments, the service call fee often covers the entire job.
Fleet customers and repeat clients receive discounted rates. We also work with most major fleet credit cards and can handle direct billing arrangements for established accounts.
Absolutely. Reefer failures are true emergencies when you’re hauling temperature-sensitive freight, and we understand the urgency. We service both Thermo-King and Carrier refrigeration units, including compressor problems, electrical issues, and refrigerant leaks.
Our mobile units carry common reefer parts and refrigerant for field repairs. For more complex problems, we can often provide temporary solutions to protect your cargo while arranging for complete repairs at our shop or a specialized reefer facility.
We also provide emergency fuel delivery for reefer units that have run out of diesel, and we can troubleshoot control system problems that might shut down the unit unnecessarily.
Yes, we cover the major trucking corridors through Southeast Michigan including I-75, I-94, I-96, and I-275. We also service US-24 (Telegraph Road) and other state routes that handle commercial traffic.
Our service area extends throughout Wayne County and surrounding areas where trucks commonly travel or stage. We’re familiar with the truck stops, rest areas, and safe locations where repairs can be performed along these routes.
If you break down outside our normal service area but on a major route, we’ll still respond if we can do so safely and efficiently. We coordinate with other service providers when necessary to ensure you get help regardless of your exact location.
