Over The Road Repair Shop Guide

they have saved me a few times as I really do know how much it sucks to be broke down a long way from home

all though some of the junk I see in the shop makes me wonder how they ever got away from home

 

just bookmarked NTTS as well.

 

I have a Volvo so I use Volvo shops only for repairs on the road also I use the Volvo shop close to my home for anything that can wait till I get home. I have a local shop that I get to do my PM's and genral repairs I know the owner very well. I don't trust just anybody with my truck. I allso buy all my tires from a local tire shop that I have delt with for a long time and get a good deal.I just don't trust truck stop shops and quick change lube joints.

 

volvos are there own beast in my neck of the woods they usually end up in a hotel waiting on parts or on a hook headed to volvo in denver

 

I agree BGator. When I have a truck go do I use the NTTS probably 95 percent of the time and as far as I know it has always provided me the help that I needed. GREAT SITE!

 

Midway Truck Repair Exit 97 US hwy 52 turn left about half mile on the left. These guys are great see post Here

 

Terrys on Hwy 45 in West Point Ms was great. Was in Macon Ms approx 70 miles S of Westpoint. Tranny wouldn't shift to high side. Terrys sent a wrecker (I left the trailer in Macon) and towed me back to West Point. The Mechanic and I Pulled the rear of the tranny out after first taking the top of through the floorboard, It's a metric, replaced a snap ring and had it back together in 3.5 hours. Total bill $550. I thought this was great, especially counting the Tow. He could have milked it for alot more but the mech busted his ### and said that most shops would have pulled the entire tranny instead of taking the top off through the floorboard. They were all around great guys and one of the few that let me get in there and help out.

 

I stopped at Maggoi's a shop behind the truck stop at the Baxter Rd exit just south of Rockford ,IL the other day. Nice little place.
I had a light problem on the trailer and he had me fixed in about an hour. I like smaller shops that get it done right the first time.

 

There is a small shop in London, KY on I-75 (exit 41). It is about 2 miles off the interstate going West on RT 80. Very easy to get to. So if you are ever in that area and need something done (brakes, tires, lights, leaks, alternators, etc...) just give them a call and they will try and get you rolling again. Phone #606-682-0656. Hourly rate is $50.00 a hour.

 

If you breakdown around the Portland, OR metro area call Pat at Independent Diesel Service, 503.312.0271. He's quick, honest, fair, mobile, and knows what he's doing. We're local, and have been using him for 4 years plus. Never had to have him come back on anything he's ever worked on. He's on the NTTS site.
