How the price works

Trailer and reefer work gets a written price before we start, itemized so you see the unit and the box separately. Tax is charged on parts only. Fleet accounts get every trailer on one monthly invoice with its own service file.

Questions people ask

Do you repair the refrigeration unit itself?
We handle maintenance and the common failures: belts, fuel system, coolant, electrical, defrost and temperature control problems. Compressor and sealed system work depends on the unit; call and we tell you straight what we can do on yours.
My reefer works fine at the yard but loses temperature on the road. Why?
Usually the box, not the unit: torn door seals, a bad floor drain, or a unit that cycles fine empty and cannot keep up with a warm load and the Miami sun on the roof. We check the box and the unit together.
Can I drop the trailer without a tractor?
Yes. Drop it, we call you with the written price, and you pick it up when it is done.
Do you do DOT inspections on trailers?
Yes. The trailer can get its annual inspection while it is here for other work so it comes in once.
Do you service flatbeds and step decks?
Yes. Brakes, lights, air, suspension and coupling are the same work, and we check the tie-down points and winches while it is here.

Air brake service

Brakes are the number one thing that puts a truck out of service at a roadside stop, and a slow air leak or a chamber past its stroke limit is a fine and a lost day waiting to happen.

DOT inspection

A failed roadside inspection can mean an out-of-service order, a lost load and points on your record, so we run the full annual checklist the way an officer would and hand you a written report either way.

Mobile truck repair

Towing a Class 8 truck across town costs more than most repairs, so when the job can be done where the truck sits we bring the tools to your yard, your dock or a safe spot on the road.

Fleet maintenance

Every unit that breaks down on the road instead of getting serviced in the shop costs you a tow, a driver's day and a customer's patience, so a fleet account here is built to keep the maintenance ahead of the failures.
