T & C Truck Repair near Allentown, PA. They service parts of New Jersey, too, mostly north and central.
Bottom line - the owner, Troy, bailed me out of a hard spot. Didn't overcharge - matter of fact, for what he did, he charged too little, considering the time he spent and what he quoted me per hour on the phone.
This is the kind of place it is getting harder and harder to find anymore. Honesty, integrity, outstanding work ethic, and quality are what they are all about.

I bring my rig to him for even minor maintenance now, since I don't have a good place to do it myself. I know it's going to be done right, with quality materials/parts and workmanship. HIGHLY recommended. PM me if you need more info/details.

Any idea of a small business shop I can call in McDonough, Ga to replace a starter for me. This is just south of Atlanta on I-75.

I must also respectfully disagree with Turbo Trucker, T/A is way over rated, and overpriced, they are handy for such as tire repairs, jump starts and such things, but very often they are extremely limited on experienced technicians, and quite often on technicians in general. Their warranty: good luck! the way that seems to work is if you happen to be at the service center that done the work you may be able to get the work redone, but if you go to another service center, they can get you in for the redo in 2-3 days generally.

As far as I'm concerned chain truck stops are good for tires lights on the trailer and fan belts. Any thing else is a going into a dealer, engine or o/o shop. I'm sorry but after 30 some odd years all a truck stop is good for is what I mentioned! They don't do engines and actually I'll do my own electric work! I've put to much time into a truck stop only to get down the road and oops have to stop at the next chain to get their work fixed!

And as posted way back towards the front if you are ahead of the game with a laptop in the truck NTTSBreakdown dot com is how to find ANY kind of truck repair! Truck stops to me are only good for fuel, food, showers and tire repairs! Sometimes the food and showers are a little lacking too!

Mel's Repair
Fort Morgan, CO
(970) 867-9746‎

He's down a residential street and has junk laying around everywhere in the front yard, but don't let the looks of the place deceive you. It's easy to get in and out, and Mel and his assistant are very, very good.

I give them a nine out of ten rating.
