Common Questions

How fast can you get to me?

Depends where you're broken down — within our core area (Park Rapids and ~30 miles out) we're typically rolling within the hour, 24/7. Call with your location and we'll give you a real ETA, not a guess.

What does a road call cost?

You'll get the call-out rate and mileage up front on the phone before we roll — no surprises. Repairs are quoted before wrenches turn whenever possible.

Do you work on farm and ag equipment?

Yes — diesel is diesel. Semis and trailers are the specialty, but we service straight trucks, farm tractors, and other heavy diesel equipment both roadside and in the shop.

What do I need for an MDOT inspection?

Bring the truck or trailer, current registration, and previous inspection paperwork if you have it. Most inspections are done same-visit, and if something fails we can usually fix it on the spot.

Do you take fleet accounts?

Yes — we work with local and OTR fleets on breakdown coverage, scheduled maintenance, and annual inspections. Call and ask for fleet terms.
