Routine and Emergency Service for Heavy-Duty Trucks

Our maintenance service includes checking and replacing engine oil, fuel filters, air filters, and coolant as part of scheduled intervals. Based in Gadsden, we bring tools, fluids, and replacement parts to your location, whether that is a truck yard, loading dock, or roadside breakdown. We also inspect belts, hoses, and connections for wear, and we address minor repairs before they result in larger failures.

After maintenance is completed, you will notice smoother engine performance, proper fluid levels, and fewer warning lights on the dashboard. The truck operates within normal temperature and pressure ranges, and components function as expected without leaks or unusual noises.

Emergency maintenance includes diagnosing and repairing issues that prevent the truck from operating, such as coolant leaks, fuel delivery problems, or electrical system failures. We carry common replacement parts and diagnostic equipment to address these issues without requiring a tow. This service does not include major engine overhauls or transmission rebuilds, but it covers the repairs and upkeep needed to keep 18-wheelers running between major service intervals.

Operators want clear answers before they call

Fleet managers and independent truckers often ask what maintenance tasks we perform on-site, how often service should be scheduled, and what we do when a truck breaks down unexpectedly.

What does routine maintenance for an 18-wheeler include?
Routine maintenance includes oil and filter changes, coolant level checks, air filter replacement, belt and hose inspection, and fluid top-offs. We also check brake adjustment, tire pressure, and air system function to identify issues before they cause breakdowns.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my truck?
Maintenance intervals depend on mileage, engine type, and operating conditions. Most 18-wheelers require oil changes every 15,000 to 25,000 miles, with additional inspections based on manufacturer recommendations and DOT requirements.
What types of emergency repairs can you handle on-site?
We handle coolant leaks, fuel system issues, air brake failures, battery replacements, and electrical problems that prevent the truck from starting or operating safely. Our goal is to restore function without towing the vehicle.
Do you provide maintenance records for fleet operators?
Yes, we document all services performed, including parts replaced, fluids added, and inspections completed. These records help you track maintenance history and meet compliance requirements for fleet management.
Why is mobile maintenance important for trucking operations in Gadsden?
Mobile maintenance reduces downtime by bringing service to your truck instead of requiring it to be driven or towed to a shop. This is especially useful for emergency repairs, tight schedules, and trucks operating on regional routes.
