What drivers call us about
- A check engine or stop engine light
- A fault code on the dash
- A truck that won’t start
- A truck that runs but won’t pull, or has cut its own power
Read us the code
The more exactly you read it, the better the start the mechanic gets. On many heavy trucks, a fault code comes as two numbers.
- SPN says which part or reading has the problem.
- FMI says how it failed.
Write down both, along with any wording on the screen. If there are several codes, give us all of them. A photo of the dash works too, as long as you still have it when you call.
No-start, or runs but won’t pull?
Tell us which one you have, because they’re different calls.
- It won’t start. Say what happens when you turn the key: nothing, a click, or cranking with no start. If it’s a dead-battery kind of no-start, see electrical and batteries.
- It runs but has lost power. Say which lights came on and when. An engine can cut its own power to protect itself, and a DPF or DEF problem can show up this way too.
What to tell us
- The codes and the wording on the screen
- Which lights are on, and what color they are
- What the truck was doing when it started
- The make, model and year, and where you are on I-40 or I-27
At the truck, or at a shop?
Diagnostics, fault codes and no-starts are work we do at the truck. Finding the problem comes first. Once the mechanic knows what’s wrong, they’ll tell you whether the repair can be done there or needs a shop.
Where we cover
We're open 24/7. We cover Amarillo, Canyon, Lubbock, I-27 and I-40 from Vega to Groom, and can stretch farther across Texas. Call with the location and we'll tell you whether we can get there. We don't promise an arrival time on this site, so ask on the call, and ask for an estimate before any work starts.
What customers say
… They are not a parts changer, you go there for a problem, they find out the problem and fix it.... 5 Star !!! …
I am a fleet service manager & work with repair companies on the road daily. This has by far been the best experience & treatment ive receieved from anyone. They treated my company like their own & stayed until the job was done - even when the weather turned for the worst & the sun came down. Appreciate folks like this & look forward to the next break down in the area
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to know what the code means?
- No. Write it down or take a photo of the dash, and read it to us. The mechanic works out what it means.
- The red stop lamp is on. What should I do?
- Stop somewhere safe and call. Don't keep driving to see if it clears.
- The light went away by itself. Should I still call?
- It's worth a call if the truck felt wrong when it came on. Tell us what it showed, if you caught it, and what the truck was doing.
- Does the mechanic come to the truck to run diagnostics?
- Yes. Engine diagnostics, fault codes and no-starts are work we do at the truck.
