Titan Tow & Repair sends a mobile diesel mechanic to semis, heavy-duty trucks and trailers broken down anywhere in Kansas City, Kansas, around the clock, crossing the state line from our yard in Liberty, MO, usually within about 60 minutes. Air leaks, stuck brakes, batteries, starters, alternators, coolant leaks, derates and trailer lights are roadside jobs, fixed where the truck stopped. Dispatch: (816) 888-8732.

Plenty of what stops a tractor in Wyandotte County is a part, not a tow. Read us the fault codes, name the road and say which side of the Kansas River you are on, and the service truck sets off with the right parts aboard.
Docks and terminals in the Fairfax district, on the Missouri River bend beside the GM Fairfax Assembly Plant, keep working through the night, and K-5 joins the district to I-635 as a freeway. A tractor that will not build air at a door, or a trailer whose landing gear will not crank, is repaired in the lot, with room for the service truck to park alongside.
The Turner Diagonal carries trucks between I-70 and K-32 and feeds the Argentine rail yard and the logistics parks at its I-70 interchange. Drop trailers and container chassis wait there on gated private ground, and their lights, air lines and brakes can be repaired where they stand once someone opens the gate.
Around the Kansas Speedway, Legends Outlets, Cabela's and Nebraska Furniture Mart take deliveries from straight trucks and box trucks as well as semis. A no-start or a fault light behind one of those stores is a parking-lot job, away from interstate traffic, where the mechanic can take the time a diagnosis needs.
Inside KCK the two US highways go by local names, the 7th Street Trafficway and the 18th Street Expressway, and both reach I-70. Some city streets off them are posted against trucks over 12,000 pounds, so a disabled semi is better repaired on the route it was using than driven around in search of a garage.

What the service truck brings across the state line is a diesel mechanic with a fault-code reader, hand and air tools, and the parts that most often strand a truck. On the Kansas side that covers air leaks at glad hands, lines, valves and brake chambers; brakes that will not release and slack adjusters out of adjustment; batteries, starters and alternators; split hoses, slipped belts and leaking radiators; derates and DEF or sensor faults traced from the codes; blown air bags; and trailer wiring, lights and landing gear. A flat on the same rig is handled through mobile tire service.
Three kinds of fault stay off the roadside list: an engine that has to be opened up, a transmission, and any repair that needs the truck raised on a lift. Titan Tow & Repair does not run a repair shop, so when the fault is one of those, the call carries on as a tow, and the heavy wrecker takes the tractor, with its loaded trailer if need be, to the shop or dealer you name in Kansas or Missouri. You are told which kind of job it is while you are still on the phone. That side of the work is set out under heavy-duty towing in Kansas City, KS.
Kansas City, Kansas lies on both sides of the Kansas River, which reaches the Missouri at Kaw Point, and the bank your truck is on decides how the service truck gets to it. Argentine and the K-32 exit at Kansas Avenue are on the south side; I-70, State Avenue, Parallel Parkway and Leavenworth Road are north of the river. With an I-70 mile marker, add the state: those numbers start over at the line, unlike the I-435 and I-635 markers, which keep their count across it.
Driving a sick truck off the interstate to look for a garage can put it somewhere it is not allowed to be. Sec. 35-879 of the Unified Government code keeps vehicles registered over 12,000 pounds off any street the traffic engineer has signed against trucks, apart from deliveries to and work at an address on that street, and where a street, bridge or culvert carries a posted load limit, that sign governs instead. A wide shoulder clear of the lanes, or a lot on a truck route, is where the service truck would rather meet you; where semis can drive in Kansas City has the rules for both cities.
For cars and pickups on the same roads, towing in KCK covers the light-duty side, and Bonner Springs and Edwardsville, the other towns in the county, are on the Wyandotte County page.
Titan Tow & Repair runs one mobile service truck, and it crosses into Kansas from our yard at 2751 Liberty Landing Rd. in Liberty, Missouri, at any hour. For most of the metro, Kansas City, Kansas included, it reaches the truck within about 60 minutes, and dispatch gives you a time on the call. A class 8 tractor, a straight truck, a box truck or a dually hot shot with a gooseneck behind it gets the same diagnosis from the codes and the same roadside repairs.
Fleets that set up an account are invoiced afterwards; drivers without one pay when the job is done, by cash, Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover, or have it billed to insurance. The company carries full commercial insurance on every job, and a certificate can be sent to your office before the first one. Describe the fault and the truck when you call, and the price for that job is settled before the service truck sets off.
Our service truck carries the parts and the tools. Faster for your driver, cheaper for your office, and the load keeps moving.

Heavy-duty towing in Kansas City, KSMost trailer faults do not stop a trailer moving. They stop it being legal to move, which is worse — the load sits while the paperwork says it cannot go anywhere.

Truck Not Building Air Pressure? Compressor and Other Causes — Why a semi's air system builds slowly or not at all: governor, unloader, air dryer, frozen discharge line or a worn compressor, and what is fixed roadside.
Semi or Trailer Air Brakes Not Releasing? What to Check — Why a semi spring brake stays locked after you push the knobs in: low air, crossed glad hands, frozen lines or a failed chamber, and what is fixed on site.
Not up on the viaduct itself. I-70 crosses the Kansas River bottoms on the Lewis and Clark Viaduct with almost nothing to pull onto, so a tractor that stops there has to be moved before anyone works on it: to the first exit with room if it still builds air and brakes normally, and behind the heavy wrecker if it does not. Call 911 first if it is stopped in a live lane. Once the rig is clear, an air leak is ordinary roadside work for the service truck.
Yes, and a dock is better ground than a shoulder: room to park beside the tractor, light, and no traffic going past. Typical dock faults are a tractor that will not build air, trailer brakes that will not release, a battery run flat during a long wait at the door, and trailer lights or landing gear that have to work before the rig can leave. Give us the company, the door or gate number, and the name of whoever on site can let the mechanic in.
Yes. A chassis or a drop trailer is trailer work, and the service truck can repair it with no tractor coupled: lights and wiring, air lines and glad hands, brakes that will not release, landing gear and tires. On the gated distribution ground off the Turner Diagonal, near the Argentine yard and the I-70 interchange, have the gate name, the trailer or chassis number and an on-site contact ready when you call, because getting through the gate is the slow part.
Yes. Heavy-duty truck repair here is not only for class 8 tractors: straight trucks, box trucks and dually hot shots get the same code reading and the same roadside fixes, from batteries and charging to air brakes, cooling and derates. A delivery lot behind Legends Outlets, Cabela's or Nebraska Furniture Mart is good working ground, off I-70 and I-435. Tell us the store, which side of the building the truck is on, and the make and year.
Because Kansas City, Kansas sits on both banks, and the bank decides the route in. Argentine and the K-32 exit at Kansas Avenue lie south of the river; I-70, State Avenue, Parallel Parkway and Leavenworth Road lie north of it. The 18th Street Expressway has a river bridge of its own. Naming the bank and the last exit or cross street you passed lets the service truck come straight to you from Liberty without doubling back across the water.
Wherever you choose, on the same call. Faults that need an engine opened, a transmission or a lift are shop work, so the heavy wrecker takes the truck to your own shop, a dealer, a Kansas garage or our yard in Liberty. Under K.S.A. 8-1103(d), a vehicle can be taken out of Kansas only with the consent of its driver or owner, their motor club or the insurer handling the claim, so name a Missouri destination when you call and the route is settled up front.
