Titan Tow & Repair repairs trucks and trailers on site in Riverside, Missouri, 24 hours a day. We are a mobile service rather than a shop: we dispatch from our yard in Liberty, MO, and bring the tools and the common parts to wherever the unit stands: a dock in the Horizons park, the Route 9 river corridor or the I-635 approach. Dispatch: (816) 888-8732.

Riverside runs on regional distribution rather than long-haul, and that changes what fails. Short runs, repeated cold starts and a lot of low-speed yard maneuvering produce a different fault list than a truck that has just come 600 miles on the interstate.
The levee finished in 2006 opened around a thousand acres of former floodplain, and the distribution park built on it is served by its own parkway and its own I-635 interchange. Repair work on that private ground happens at a dock or in a drop lot rather than at the roadside, which means room to work and no traffic exposure, but also gate access and a yard contact to arrange first.
Regional units that shut down and restart all day rarely get hot enough for a clean regen. Incomplete regens, clogged filters, derate warnings and batteries that never fully recover are typical of that short-haul duty cycle.
This is river-bottom ground and the air is wet for most of the year. Water carried past a tired dryer collects in the tanks, and in a Missouri January it freezes in the lines and valves. It presents as a brake or air fault and is usually a dryer and drain problem underneath.
Route 9 runs between the bluff and the river with very little shoulder before it meets US-169 and the I-635 junction. A unit that stops along there has nowhere safe to sit, so the decision is whether the fault can be made road-legal in minutes or whether it has to be moved first and repaired somewhere it is safe to stand.

I-635 is the connector that takes freight around downtown Kansas City and gives it a direct run to Kansas City International Airport, and its Missouri miles are almost all in Riverside. Northbound, it crosses the Missouri River from Kansas City, Kansas, then comes to Horizons Parkway at exit 9, US-69 at exit 10 and Route 9 at exits 11A and 11B, and about a mile later ends at I-29 and US-71, exits 12A and 12B. For a roadside repair, give us the last exit you passed and your direction before anything else.
US-69 shares I-635 only as far as Route 9, follows Route 9 east for half a mile and then turns north through Northmoor toward Gladstone, so a truck with a warning light has several ways off the interstate here. If yours will still move safely, the top of a ramp or a lot off it gives the service truck room beside the unit that a bridge approach does not. If the fault needs a shop, the same call covers the tow: heavy-duty towing for the rig, or towing in Riverside for a car or pickup.
Route 9 does not end at the Riverside exits. It meets US-169 just before Riverside, then passes the I-635 interchange and a Briarcliff Parkway junction in Riverside and heads west-northwest into Parkville, where it turns north through downtown and passes the Riss Lake neighborhood to reach Route 45, Tom Watson Parkway. After Parkville it re-enters Kansas City past Royal Oaks North and ends at Northwest Barry Road and I-29 and US-71. Riverside borders the Kansas City neighborhoods of Parkdale-Walden and Briarcliff West and the cities of Parkville and Northmoor.
A semi or box truck that quits along Route 9 or on a Parkville street gets the same call as one in Riverside: the mobile service truck comes from the Liberty yard and tries to fix the fault where the unit stands. Air lines, batteries, lights and tires are typical. If it cannot be fixed there, the heavy wrecker or a flatbed takes it, and towing in Parkville covers cars and pickups. Say which way you are heading and what the dash shows.
Our service truck carries the parts and the tools. Faster for your driver, cheaper for your office, and the load keeps moving.

Riverside service pageMost 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.
Read about mobile trailer repairA blown tire is the most common thing that stops a truck, and the one most often fixed on the shoulder. We bring the tire to you rather than the truck to a shop.
Read about mobile tire serviceA loaded tractor-trailer is not a bigger car. It needs a rated wrecker, a rated operator and a plan before anything gets hooked. That is what we send.
Read about heavy-duty towingFleets do not need a hero, they need a truck that turns up and paperwork that reconciles. We do both.

Can You Drive a Semi With a Blown Airbag? Loaded vs Empty — Loaded, no. Empty and level, sometimes a short slow limp. How to tell a blown air bag from a height-control valve, and 24/7 roadside fixes: (816) 888-8732.
Semi or Trailer Air Brakes Not Releasing? What to Check — Usually low air, crossed glad hands, a frozen line or a failed spring brake chamber. What to check first, and 24/7 roadside repair at (816) 888-8732.
Truck Not Building Air Pressure? Compressor and Other Causes — Truck not building air? Usually the governor, unloader, air dryer or an iced line, not the compressor. What to check, and 24/7 roadside fixes: (816) 888-8732.
No — our repair service is mobile. Our yard is at 2751 Liberty Landing Rd. in Liberty, and what we bring to Riverside is a mobile service truck, so the repair happens where your unit is standing instead of you having to get it to a shop. For most air, electrical, lighting and tire faults that is the faster answer anyway. If the work genuinely needs a shop, we are a towing company as well, so the same call covers moving it.
Yes. Inside those yards the one thing that slows us down is access: tell us the building or the tenant, the gate you want us to use and a name at the site, and we will not lose twenty minutes at a barrier.
Short regional cycles often never build the exhaust temperature a full regen needs, so the system never completes one and the fault escalates into a derate. We can force a regen on site and check the sensors and the filter condition, but if a unit is doing it repeatedly the duty cycle is the real cause and it is worth planning a proper filter service rather than clearing it each time.
Usually within about 60 minutes, with a real ETA for your exact location on the phone. Riverside is about 17 miles from the Liberty yard via Route 152 and I-29, so tell dispatch exactly where the unit is standing: a dock inside Horizons and a breakdown on the Route 9 corridor are not the same run.
The service truck carries what fails most often — air lines, glad hands, valves, lamps, connectors, fuses and common filters — so a large share of calls are finished on the first visit. For anything model-specific we would rather you tell us the make, the year and any dash codes when you call, so we can bring it with us instead of making a second trip.
There is no flat rate card: the bill is the call-out, the time on scene and the parts, and you get the price when you call (816) 888-8732 and describe the fault. Riverside is inside the metro, so the service truck is usually with you within about 60 minutes.
Yes, 24 hours a day, weekends and holidays included. Give the street or the I-635 or Route 9 location, the fault and any codes on the dash, and whether the trailer is loaded.
Yes. The mobile service truck repairs trailer brakes, air lines, glad hands and lights wherever the trailer is parked in Riverside, with or without a tractor attached. Ring (816) 888-8732 and say whether the brakes drag, will not release or do not work at all, plus the dock or the I-635 or Route 9 location. Riverside is metro, so the wait is usually within about 60 minutes.
Yes. The mobile service truck goes out Route 9 past Riverside to Parkville at any hour, usually within about 60 minutes of the call. Ring (816) 888-8732 with the cross street or the nearest neighborhood, your heading and the fault. Anything that needs a shop is towed from the same call.
