Becoming A Responsible Towing Patron

When your semi truck endures an unexpected mechanical failure or body damage, the incident could impede your ability to make deliveries as scheduled. Instead of dealing with costly tow bills and mechanical repair scheduling delays, contact a mobile semi truck repair technician to receive prompt services.

Diagnostic Equipment

The use of diagnostic equipment allows a technician to precisely determine what mechanical part has malfunctioned. A mobile technician records diagnostic results during each service appointment. The information that is retained will be referred to during future service appointments.

Because a technician will have accurate records that pertain to a specific semi-truck model, the technician is able to quickly access the materials and repair processes that were previously needed. This will help them provide a superior level of service during each occasion when a semi-truck requires mechanical assistance.

Trailer And Tire Issues

A mobile technician will inspect cooling systems, lock failures, and body damage to the trailer that is pulled behind a semi-cab. These types of services protect freight from being exposed to extreme temperatures or being at risk of being stolen.

Tire issues are also handled by a mobile technician. If a tire is leaking or has worn tread, a mobile technician will either patch or replace the tire in question. Mobile mechanics carry a line of semi-truck tires. They keep spare tires and mechanical equipment inside their service vehicles.

A Tow Service

If a mobile mechanic isn't able to repair a truck during a service appointment, they will make arrangements to have it towed. Many mobile service providers have a home-based automotive shop that they use for extensive repair processes.

A Driveaway Service

A driveaway service ensures that freight, a trailer, or a cab and trailer are picked up and delivered to the destination requested. If your semi-truck will be in a shop for a while, it may be necessary to remove the trailer from the cab. A mobile mechanic will assist with this process.

The trailer and freight can be picked up by a driveaway service provider. The provider will deliver the trailer and freight to the location that is requested. This prevents the loss of valuable freight. It also makes it possible for the freight to be transferred to another vehicle that can be used to make deliveries.

A mobile mechanic will make all efforts to fix your truck at its current location before recommending that the vehicle is towed to a full-service repair shop.
