Hear from Our Customers
When your semi breaks down on I-75 or I-94, every hour costs you money. You need a repair service that comes to you, diagnoses the problem fast, and fixes it right the first time.
That’s exactly what you get with J&J Truck & Trailer Repair. No waiting for tow trucks. No sitting in some shop’s queue for days. We bring the shop to you with fully equipped mobile service trucks and the diagnostic tools to handle everything from engine failures to brake emergencies.
You’re back hauling freight while other drivers are still waiting for their truck to get looked at. Your dispatcher stays happy. Your customers get their deliveries on time. And you keep earning instead of burning through your savings on a breakdown.
We’ve been keeping Woodhaven’s truckers moving since 1999. We’re not some fly-by-night operation that learned diesel repair from YouTube videos.
Dr. Phillip Marin leads our team with three Ph.D. degrees in Diesel Engineering, Drivetrains, and Metal Alloys. That’s the kind of deep technical knowledge you want when your Cummins won’t start at 2 AM on Telegraph Road or your brakes are acting up heading into Detroit.
We understand Woodhaven’s unique position in Michigan’s freight network. You’re dealing with I-75 traffic heading to Toledo, I-94 congestion toward Chicago, and the brutal Michigan winters that turn minor issues into major breakdowns. We’ve been solving these exact problems for over 40 years.
When your truck breaks down, you call us. That’s it. No complicated phone trees or being put on hold for twenty minutes while your load sits getting late.
Our dispatch team gets your location and sends the nearest mobile unit to you. Most of the time, that’s within 30 minutes if you’re anywhere along the I-75 or I-94 corridors through Woodhaven and the Detroit metro area.
Our technician arrives with diagnostic equipment and common repair parts already on board. We identify the problem, explain what’s wrong and what it’ll cost to fix, then get to work. For most repairs, you’re rolling again within a few hours. If it’s something that needs shop work, we’ll get you to the right place instead of leaving you stranded on the roadside.

We handle the full range of semi truck and trailer repairs that keep Woodhaven’s freight moving. Engine diagnostics and repairs when your diesel won’t start or runs rough. Brake service including ABS repairs – critical when you’re hauling 80,000 pounds down I-75 in winter conditions.
Transmission problems, air system leaks, electrical issues, and on-site tire replacement. We also provide reefer repairs for the refrigerated loads moving through Detroit’s food distribution network, mobile welding for structural fixes, and fuel delivery when you’re stuck with an empty tank.
Our service area covers the entire I-75 corridor from Toledo north through Detroit, plus I-94 from the Indiana border east to Port Huron. That includes all the major truck stops, distribution centers, and freight terminals where Woodhaven drivers regularly haul loads.
Our typical response time for emergency calls in the Woodhaven area is 30-45 minutes, depending on your exact location and current traffic conditions. We strategically position our mobile service trucks to cover the I-75 and I-94 corridors where most breakdowns occur.
If you’re broken down at a major truck stop or rest area, we can usually get to you even faster. For breakdowns in more remote areas or during severe weather, we’ll give you an honest time estimate upfront so you can plan accordingly.
We operate 24/7, including weekends and holidays, because freight doesn’t stop moving and neither do breakdowns. When you call, you get a real person who can dispatch help immediately, not an answering service that takes messages.
Our mobile service trucks are equipped to handle most common repairs right where your truck breaks down. This includes engine diagnostics and many engine repairs, brake adjustments and air system fixes, electrical troubleshooting, starter and alternator replacement, and tire changes.
We also handle fuel system problems, coolant leaks, belt and hose replacement, and basic transmission issues. For reefer units, we can diagnose problems and perform many repairs on refrigerated trailers.
What we can’t fix on-site are major engine rebuilds, transmission overhauls, or repairs requiring specialized shop equipment like frame work. In those cases, we’ll diagnose the problem and arrange proper towing to a facility that can complete the repair, but we’ll save you from paying for unnecessary towing when the problem can be fixed roadside.
Yes, we work with several trucking companies and owner-operators in the Woodhaven area to provide scheduled maintenance that prevents costly breakdowns. This includes regular PM services, DOT inspections, and preventive repairs before small problems become major failures.
Fleet customers get priority scheduling and discounted rates on both routine maintenance and emergency repairs. We can work around your dispatch schedule to minimize downtime, including performing maintenance during required rest periods or while drivers are on home time.
Our fleet programs are especially valuable for companies running the I-75 and I-94 corridors regularly, where we can provide consistent service regardless of where your trucks break down within our coverage area. We understand the logistics challenges of keeping multiple trucks operational and profitable.
Michigan winters create specific challenges for semi trucks that we’ve been dealing with for over 40 years. Cold weather causes fuel gelling, battery failures, air system problems, and tire issues that can strand drivers in dangerous conditions.
We stock winter-specific repair parts and fluids, including fuel additives, cold-weather batteries, and replacement parts that commonly fail in freezing temperatures. Our service trucks are equipped to work in snow and ice, and our technicians know how to safely perform repairs in winter conditions.
We also provide winter preparedness services before the cold hits, including fuel system winterization, battery testing and replacement, coolant system checks, and tire inspections. Prevention is always cheaper than emergency repairs when it’s 10 below and snowing on I-75.
Our primary service area covers the entire Detroit metro region, with special focus on the major freight corridors. This includes I-75 from the Ohio border north through Detroit and beyond, I-94 from the Indiana border east to Port Huron, and I-96 connecting Grand Rapids to Detroit.
We regularly service trucks at major locations like Detroit Metro Airport cargo areas, the Ambassador Bridge crossing, and all the truck stops and distribution centers throughout Wayne County. Our coverage extends to surrounding communities like Taylor, Lincoln Park, Southgate, and Wyandotte.
If you break down outside our normal coverage area, we can often arrange service through our network of trusted partner companies, or we’ll help coordinate proper towing to get your truck to a facility that can help. We never leave drivers stranded without options.
Repair costs depend on what’s wrong with your truck, but we believe in transparent pricing without emergency markup gouging. A typical roadside service call starts around $150-200, with additional charges based on the actual repair needed and parts used.
Common repairs like jump starts, tire changes, or minor brake adjustments usually run $200-500 total. More complex issues like starter replacement, fuel system repairs, or electrical diagnosis can range from $500-1500 depending on parts and labor time required.
We always provide an estimate before starting work, and we won’t surprise you with hidden fees or inflated emergency rates. Our goal is to get you back on the road profitably, not to take advantage of drivers when they’re in a tough spot. Fleet customers and repeat clients get additional discounts on both parts and labor.
