Mobile Heavy Duty Repair: General Questions
What is a mobile heavy duty mechanic?
A mobile heavy duty mechanic brings the repair shop to you. Our fully equipped service truck comes to your roadside, yard or job site anywhere in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, so you can skip the tow truck and the wait for an open shop bay. See all of our mobile repair services.
What can you repair on site, and what needs a shop?
Most repairs can be done right where your truck or machine sits, including diesel engine and fuel system problems, electrical faults, cooling system leaks, air brakes, trailer lights and wiring, emissions systems and hydraulic leaks. If a job truly needs a full shop, we tell you upfront before any work starts.
What trucks and equipment do you work on?
We repair semi trucks and tractors, trailers, dump and aggregate trucks, delivery and fleet trucks, buses, and off-road heavy equipment such as excavators, loaders, backhoes, dozers, skid steers, graders and compactors. Learn more about our mobile heavy duty mechanic service.
Do I need to tow my truck or move my machine?
Usually not. That is the point of mobile repair. We come to wherever your truck, trailer or equipment is, as long as it is safe and reasonably accessible. If it can’t be safely reached, we’ll tell you what’s needed.
Mobile Truck Repair Pricing and Quotes
How much does mobile truck repair cost in Vancouver?
Every repair is different, so the price depends on the repair, the parts needed and your location. We diagnose the problem first and give you a clear quote before any work starts, so there are no surprises. Call (778) 955-3113 or request a free quote.
Is mobile repair cheaper than towing to a shop?
Often, yes. Towing a heavy truck or hauling equipment on a float trailer is expensive on its own, and then your rig sits waiting for an open shop bay. With mobile repair there is no tow bill and far less downtime, so you are usually back to work the same day.
Do you charge for quotes?
No, all quotes are completely free and there is no obligation. We explain the repair and the cost clearly before starting any work.
Will you replace parts before you know what’s wrong?
No. We confirm the real cause first, so you never pay for guesswork or parts you did not need. You get plain-language answers and a price you approve upfront, with no hidden charges or unnecessary upsells.

Diesel, Semi Truck and Trailer Repair Questions
Why is my diesel truck losing power?
Common causes include clogged filters, fuel system problems, turbo faults and emissions system issues that put the engine into derate. A proper diagnosis confirms which one it is before any parts are replaced. Learn more about our mobile diesel repair.
Do you fix DPF, EGR, DEF and SCR problems?
Yes. We diagnose and repair common emissions system faults on site, including DPF, EGR, DEF and SCR problems, regen issues and derate conditions.
My diesel truck won’t start. Can you help?
Yes. Call us with your location and the symptoms. The most common causes of a diesel no-start are fuel problems, a weak battery, a failed starter or a faulty sensor, and many of these can be fixed on site.
Can you repair air brakes and trailer problems at the roadside?
Yes. We repair air leaks, valves, brake chambers, slack adjusters and brake adjustments, plus trailer brakes, ABS, axles, wheel ends, landing gear, air lines, lights and 7-way plug faults, roadside or at your yard. See our mobile semi truck and trailer repair service.
Do you offer on-site fleet maintenance?
Yes. We schedule maintenance for multiple units at your yard, including oil and filter service, greasing, fluid top-ups and pre-trip checks, so your trucks are not off the road longer than needed.
Heavy Equipment Repair Questions
Can you fix hydraulic leaks on an excavator at the job site?
In most cases, yes. Hydraulic hoses, fittings and many cylinder and pump problems can be repaired in the field, so your machine and your crew get back to work without hauling it to a shop. See our mobile off-road equipment repair service.
What heavy equipment do you repair?
We work on excavators, loaders, backhoes, dozers, skid steers, graders, compactors and other off-road machines, covering hydraulics, engine and diesel repair, electrical faults, undercarriage and travel issues, cooling and exhaust. If your machine is not listed, give us a call.
Do you offer scheduled maintenance for heavy equipment?
Yes. We can service your machines at your site on a regular schedule, including oil and filter changes, greasing and fluid service, so you avoid breakdowns in the middle of a job.
Mobile Truck Diagnostics Questions
What happens during a mobile truck diagnostic?
We bring professional diagnostic tools to your yard, job site or roadside, read the fault codes, test the system and find the real cause, not just the code. Then we explain what is wrong and what it will cost before any parts are replaced. Learn more about mobile truck diagnostics.
What systems can you diagnose?
Engine and fuel systems, electrical and charging systems, transmission and drivetrain, brake and air systems, and emissions systems on trucks, trailers and heavy equipment.
Can you inspect a used truck before I buy it?
Yes. We offer pre-purchase and pre-inspection checks, so you know the condition of a truck before you buy it or before an inspection.
