Truck Down? Emergency Diesel Repair in Austin, TX

What to do first

Call 512-717-2777 and tell us what the truck is doing — the symptoms, any codes or dash lights, whether it is drivable, and where it sits. We will tell you whether we can take it today or when the next bay opens, and what to tell the tow driver. You will get a real answer on timing, not a maybe that costs you another day.

Down on the road? As of November 2026 we run roadside response with an after-hours line, fleet accounts first — see mobile maintenance & roadside response. We still don't run tow trucks. For everyone, the shop is open Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:30 PM, and what we do is get a down truck into a bay fast, with the lifts, diagnostics, and parts to actually finish the job.

Breakdowns we see most

• No-start and hard-start — fuel delivery, injectors, batteries, and charging faults
• Emissions derates — DPF loading, DEF quality and dosing, and SCR faults that cut power mid-haul
• Overheating — water pumps, thermostats, radiators, and cooling system failures
• Loss of power or boost — turbos, charge-air leaks, and sticking VGT vanes
• Air and brake problems — leaks, slow build, and dragging brakes
• Blowouts and tire failure — truck and trailer tire work
• Transmission and driveline — no shift, slipping, or a driveline vibration

Why a shop beats a van on a big job

Mobile repair is fine for a battery or a sensor. When it is an injector job, a turbo, a cooling-system failure, or anything that needs the truck in the air, a staffed shop with lifts, alignment equipment, and parts on the shelf turns it far faster than one tech working out of a van on the shoulder. For fleet accounts we can even collect the truck — concierge pickup and delivery — so you don't spend a driver getting it here.

Fleets: get to the front of the line

Down vehicles on a fleet account get priority scheduling, and you can track the repair through the FleetGood portal instead of calling for a status. If you run trucks and you'd rather keep your own fleet manager, we also back up in-house teams — fleet maintenance support.

Common questions

Do you offer 24/7 roadside service for diesel trucks?

Roadside response, yes, as of November 2026: fleet accounts first, with an after-hours line on the mobile maintenance and roadside response page. We do not advertise 24/7, because we will not print a response time we cannot keep every time, and we do not run tow trucks. For most of 2026 we offered no roadside work at all and said so; demand from the fleets we service changed that. What we do for everyone is get a down truck into a bay quickly during shop hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM.

My truck is down right now. What should I do?

Call the shop at 512-717-2777 and tell us what it is doing — the symptoms, any codes or warning lights, and where the truck is. We will tell you honestly whether we can get it in today or when the next opening is, and what to have the tow driver do when they arrive. A straight answer on timing beats a promise we cannot keep.

Can you get a down truck in faster than a dealer?

Usually, yes — that is most of why fleets call us. We are an independent shop with our own bays, diagnostics, and parts on the shelf, so a down truck is not waiting behind a dealer service queue. Fleet account customers get priority scheduling, which moves a down vehicle to the front of the line.

Do you do on-site repairs at our yard?

For business customers under a fleet agreement, yes — we perform diagnostics and repairs on-site at your yard or facility across the Greater Austin Area, by appointment. Roadside response and the after-hours line, also for fleet accounts, are on the mobile maintenance and roadside response page.
