Tires & wheels
Blowouts, roadside tire changes, wheel seals, hub and bearing repairs — the #1 call we dispatch.
Air system & brakes
Blown air lines and glad hands, leaking brake chambers, air bags, slack adjusters, ABS faults.
Electrical & no-starts
Dead batteries and jump starts, starters, alternators, wiring shorts, marker and headlight fixes.
Cooling system
Coolant leaks, radiator and water pump swaps, blown hoses, antifreeze top-offs before damage is done.
Aftertreatment & derates
Forced DPF regens, DEF system faults, EGR issues, limp-mode derates cleared at the truck.
Driveline & engine
Belts, fuel filters and injectors, turbos, clutches — plus reefer units, liftgates and landing gear on the trailer.
