Mobile diesel repair services for Arlington trucks and fleets

Here is what we fix on-site for Arlington drivers, grouped by problem. For the full menu, see our diesel repair services page.

Roadside breakdowns: jump starts, tires, fuel, and lockouts

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:

  • Heavy-duty jump starts for Class 6 through Class 8 trucks
  • Commercial tire changes with jacks rated for Class 8 loads
  • Diesel fuel delivery when you run dry between fuel stops
  • Cab lockouts at rest areas, yards, and docks

Engine faults, derates, and aftertreatment problems

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, air lines, and suspension

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.

Trailer and reefer repair

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.

Fleet maintenance for Arlington yards

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.

When a truck needs the 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.

Warning signs your diesel needs a mechanic now

Call before a small fault turns into a tow. These symptoms tell you what to expect.

Diesel breakdowns on I-20, I-30, and SH 360 in Arlington

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 through south Arlington

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 through north Arlington

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 and the 360 Tollway

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.

If you break down on the shoulder

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.

Semi truck repair near Arlington's industrial and warehouse areas

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

Great Southwest Industrial District

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 and the supplier corridor

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.

Warehouses along I-20 and SH 360

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.
