Batteries, starters, alternators, grounds, corroded connectors, and sensor and wiring faults traced on heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks.

DOT Compliance
DOT inspections & compliance — we keep you legal
Keeping a commercial truck in service means keeping it compliant. We perform the DOT annual inspection to the FMCSA 396.17 standard, walk the unit through inspection prep and pre-trip so it passes the first time, and get your inspection sticker applied. It is one less thing pulling your trucks out of service.
DOT annual inspection (396.17)
Full annual inspection to the federal 396.17 standard on tractors, trailers, box trucks, and work trucks, documented for your records.
Inspection prep & pre-trip
We pre-check the unit against the DOT criteria and fix what would fail before the inspection, so you avoid an out-of-service surprise.
Brake, lighting & air-system checks
Brake adjustment and components, lamps and reflectors, air-system integrity, and steering and chassis items verified to the DOT list.
Inspection sticker & compliance
Pass and we apply your inspection sticker and paperwork — keeping your unit and your fleet compliant and road-ready.

Roadside & Fleet
Truck-down support and small-fleet PM
A commercial truck sitting on the shoulder or stuck in your yard is lost revenue and a missed load. We bring the diagnostic equipment to the truck for roadside breakdowns and yard-down units, work the fault systematically, and get you a clear answer — repaired on-site when it is practical, or a clear direction before you lose more time.
For businesses running a handful of trucks, we set up preventive maintenance programs that keep units compliant and head off the breakdown before it strands a driver. Repeat and fleet customers get priority scheduling.
Why fleets & owners call us
- Mobile service where the truck is sitting
- DOT inspections and compliance handled on-site
