Mobile truck and trailer repair, where the truck sits

Air leaks, brake chamber and slack adjuster work, batteries, starters, alternators, hoses and belts, coolant leaks, lights, landing gear, air lines and most trailer electrical faults. Engine internals, transmissions and anything needing a lift have to go to a shop.

Yes. Trailer lights, wiring, landing gear, doors, air lines and brake work are a large share of what the service truck does, on dry vans, reefers and flatbeds. Trailer faults are worth calling about early: most of them stop a unit being legal to move rather than able to move, and a lighting or brake fault will hold a load at a scale or a gate. Tell us the trailer type and what has failed and we will bring the parts we are likely to need.

Usually, yes. A roadside fix means no tow bill, no shop intake queue and a driver who is moving again the same day rather than sitting on hours he cannot get back. The exception is a fault that needs the vehicle lifted, a part we would have to order, or more time at the roadside than the location is safe for. We will tell you honestly on the phone which way is likely to be cheaper once we know what the truck is doing.

Yes — every truck we are called to is a diesel, and the service truck is a diesel mechanic that drives to you rather than one you drive to, because most of what strands a truck is roadside work rather than shop work. Air and brake faults, batteries, starters and alternators, cooling and overheating, DEF and sensor problems, and the derates and regen faults that put a modern truck into limp mode are all things we handle where the unit is standing. What we will not do is pretend: an engine that needs to come apart, or a fault that needs a part nobody carries on a service body, is a shop job, and we will tell you that on the phone rather than after two hours on the shoulder. Tell us the dash codes if you have them — on a modern truck that usually decides the answer before we set off.

Yes. The service truck runs the same 24/7 dispatch as the wreckers, covering the Kansas City metro and roughly a 60-mile radius from our Liberty yard — nights, weekends and holidays included. Most air, electrical, battery, cooling and trailer faults are fixed where the truck sits, which is usually faster than a tow into a shop queue even before the shop opens. Call, describe what the truck is doing, and you will get an honest answer about whether it is a roadside fix and how far out the truck is.

You are paying for the call-out, the time on scene and the parts — quoted when you call and describe the fault, not revealed afterward. What usually makes mobile repair the cheaper path is everything it removes: no tow bill, no shop intake queue, no driver sitting for a day waiting on a bay. The honest exception is a fault that needs the truck lifted or a part nobody carries on a service body — we will tell you on the phone when a shop is genuinely the cheaper answer.

Yes. The service truck runs the same 24/7 schedule as the wreckers, including nights, weekends and holidays, and a person answers the phone rather than an answering service taking a message. Night calls are worth making early rather than waiting until morning: an air or lighting fault fixed at 2am puts the load back on the road before the day starts, and the roads are emptier, which usually makes the repair itself quicker and safer than the same job in traffic.
