Mobile Truck Repair for the Motor City
Detroit and the surrounding metro area have one of the densest concentrations of manufacturing, automotive supply chain, and logistics operations in the country. The trucks servicing these operations run hard, from the assembly plant supply routes to the distribution center loops to the construction projects rebuilding the city. When one of those trucks needs repair, our mobile diesel mechanics bring the tools and parts to the truck instead of the truck going to a shop.
We carry factory diagnostic software for Cummins, Detroit Diesel, Paccar, International, and Volvo. OEM level diagnostics, not generic code readers. That means we see the same data a dealership sees and we diagnose problems accurately on the first visit.

Michigan Winters Hit Trucks Hard
Detroit winters bring the full range of cold weather truck problems. Fuel gelling is the most common emergency call once temperatures drop below 10 degrees. Untreated or undertreated diesel solidifies in the fuel lines and filters, and the truck is dead until the system is cleared and retreated. We carry fuel filters, anti-gel additives, and fuel system priming equipment for these calls.
DEF freezing, battery failure, air brake system freeze-up, and heater core leaks round out the winter trouble list. The combination of cold weather problems and Michigan road salt creates a maintenance environment that is tougher on trucks than most of the country. If you run trucks through Metro Detroit winters, your PM schedule needs to reflect that reality.

Trailer repair. Dry vans, flatbeds, tankers, auto haulers. Detroit’s automotive industry keeps specialized trailers on the road constantly. Suspension, doors, landing gear, lighting, and structural repair.
Tire service. Michigan potholes are legendary for a reason. Pothole damage to tires, wheels, and suspension components starts in early spring and continues through summer as the frost heaves settle.
Fleet preventive maintenance. Scheduled PM at your facility. Manufacturing supply chain operations and distribution fleets need consistent uptime, and that starts with consistent maintenance.
Auto Industry Supply Chain Service
The automotive plants in Metro Detroit depend on just in time parts delivery. A truck that breaks down carrying components for an assembly line does not just affect the trucking company. It can affect the entire production schedule. The urgency of supply chain delivery work means these trucks need fast, reliable mobile truck repair service that can get them back on the road quickly.
We understand the time sensitivity of supply chain operations and prioritize accordingly. When a truck is carrying production critical parts, hours matter.
