Diagnosis and price before repair
Here is what we fix on-site for Arlington drivers, grouped by problem. For the full menu, see our diesel repair services page.
A dead battery at a loading dock stalls a whole schedule. So does a blown steer tire on the I-20 shoulder. Our 24/7 diesel roadside assistance covers the fast fixes:
A derate on SH 360 turns a 40-ton truck into a hazard. Our technicians plug into the ECM, read the fault codes, and find the root cause.
We run forced regenerations, clean or replace DPFs, and repair EGR and SCR faults at your location. We also handle fuel system repairs, turbo faults, and injector calibration. Common codes we clear include SPN 3719 soot-load faults and SPN 5246 SCR inducement derates.
Our techs work on the Cummins X15, Detroit DD15, PACCAR MX-13, and International A26 every week. We also service Caterpillar, Duramax, Power Stroke, and MaxxForce engines. For deeper engine work, read about our diesel engine repair service.
Brakes park more trucks than any other defect. In CVSA’s 2025 International Roadcheck, brake problems made up about 41% of vehicle out-of-service violations, per Fleet Maintenance.
We repair S-cam drum brakes, air disc brakes, slack adjusters, and brake chambers. We fix air leaks, air ride bags, and leaf springs.
Many of these jobs get done where the truck sits. Heavier work moves to our shop. Learn more on our semi and diesel truck repair page.
We fix the trailer without dropping it at a yard. That covers trailer brakes, ABS faults, landing gear, lights, and 7-way connectors. On reefer units from Carrier and Thermo King, we troubleshoot electrical, fuel supply, and basic mechanical failures on-site. Major compressor or engine work on a reefer unit goes to a shop.
Fleets running out of Arlington can book recurring on-site maintenance.
We handle oil and filter changes, brake inspections, fluid service, and pre-trip checks at your yard. You get an itemized digital record for each unit. Fleet accounts also get consolidated billing. Annual DOT inspections happen at our Mansfield shop.
Some jobs need a lift, a press, or a full teardown. Alignments and engine overhauls fall in that group. When that happens, we coordinate the tow to our Mansfield shop and keep you updated. The same team that diagnosed your truck on the roadside finishes the repair.
Call before a small fault turns into a tow. These symptoms tell you what to expect.
| Symptom | Likely cause | What we do on-site |
|---|---|---|
| Check engine light with power loss | Aftertreatment fault or sensor failure | Read codes, run a forced regen, replace sensors |
| Engine cranks but will not start | Fuel supply, battery, or wiring fault | Test the fuel system, jump or replace batteries, repair wiring |
| Air pressure drops or will not build | Air line leak or failed compressor part | Find and fix the leak, repair valves and fittings |
| Temperature gauge climbing | Coolant leak, fan clutch, or water pump | Pressure test, repair hoses, replace parts we carry |
| Trailer ABS light on | Sensor, wiring, or module fault | Diagnose and repair the ABS circuit |
| Truck pulls or brakes grab | Brake adjustment or chamber failure | Adjust or replace slack adjusters and chambers |
Not sure if you need a tow or a mechanic? Call (972) 472-2687 and describe the symptoms. Our dispatcher will tell you.
Arlington sits between Dallas and Fort Worth. Three freeways carry its through truck traffic, and each one has a direct line back to our Mansfield shop.
I-20
I-20 crosses the south side of Arlington from east to west. West of the city, US 287 and I-820 both tie into I-20. That is our fastest way into Arlington. Our trucks run north on US 287 from Mansfield, then east on I-20. Stalled trucks near the Kennedale line are the shortest run. Calls farther east toward SH 360 take longer.
I-30
I-30 runs across north Arlington past the entertainment district. It began as the Dallas-Fort Worth Turnpike, built in the mid-1950s.
That road opened the land that became the Great Southwest Industrial District. Trucks that serve those warehouses still use I-30 every day. Stadium traffic near AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field can slow access on event days, so share your exact location when you call.
SH 360
SH 360 is the north-south spine of east Arlington, and it links straight back to our shop. The highway starts at US 287 in Mansfield and runs north through Arlington, where it crosses I-20 and I-30.
The NTTA 360 Tollway opened in 2018. It adds 9.7 miles of main lanes between US 287 and Camp Wisdom Road.
In December 2023, TxDOT finished a fully directional interchange at I-30 and SH 360. It replaced the old 1950s cloverleaf. That upgrade gives our service trucks cleaner access to north Arlington and the Great Southwest.
Safety comes first. Federal rules require CMV drivers to turn on hazard flashers right away. You must place warning devices within 10 minutes under 49 CFR 392.22. Then call us with your direction of travel, the nearest exit, and a GPS pin. That detail shaves time off the response.
Arlington’s freight areas put heavy truck traffic on city streets. Our trucks carry parts and tools to work at your dock or yard, so the load does not have to move first.
ZIP 76011 · I-30 / SH 360 / SH 161
The Great Southwest Industrial District spans more than 8,000 acres across Arlington and Grand Prairie. Angus G. Wynne Jr. founded it in 1956, according to the Texas State Historical Association. The Arlington side holds warehouses along East Avenue E and East Randol Mill Road in ZIP code 76011. Those buildings sit near I-30, SH 360, and SH 161.
Trucks here run tight dock schedules. A no-start at a dock door blocks the next load. We send a mechanic to the dock so the truck can clear the door.
ZIP 76010 · Runs 24/6
GM Arlington Assembly sits at 2525 E. Abram Street (76010). It builds GM’s full-size SUVs and runs around the clock six days a week.
Across SH 360 at East Division Street, the Arlington Automotive Logistics Center feeds parts to the plant. It was built on the former Six Flags Mall site. Supplier trucks on this corridor work to tight delivery windows. A breakdown on SH 360 or East Division Street needs a fast fix, and our 24/7 dispatch covers these hours.
ZIP 76010 · 76014 · 76018
More distribution buildings sit near the I-20 and SH 360 interchange. You will find them along New York Avenue and East Mayfield Road (76014). Others sit off East Pioneer Parkway (76010) and along I-20 in 76018. Box trucks, day cabs, and yard tractors work these docks all day. We service them on-site, from brake jobs to DPF faults.
Our shop at 6330 Dick Price Rd sits on the south edge of the Arlington area. Every mobile unit dispatches from there. You never need to bring your truck to Mansfield for a mobile repair. We come to you.
Road distance from our shop runs about 7 miles to the west end of Arlington’s I-20 stretch. It runs about 15 to 20 miles to the GM plant and the Great Southwest.
| Part of Arlington | ZIP codes | Our usual route from Mansfield |
|---|---|---|
| South Arlington and the I-20 corridor | 76001, 76002, 76015, 76016, 76017, 76018 | US 287 north to I-20 east |
| East Arlington, GM plant, and SH 360 | 76010, 76014 | SH 360 or the 360 Tollway north |
| North Arlington, Great Southwest, and the entertainment district | 76006, 76011 | SH 360 north to I-30 |
