Roadside Truck Repair Services Along I-95 and I-85
Petersburg sits where two of the busiest freight routes on the East Coast meet, and that's exactly where our service trucks spend their time. We handle everything from minor fixes to on-site mechanical troubleshooting and emergency truck repairs, so a sudden problem doesn't have to mean a long tow and a lost day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Information Should I Have Ready When I Call?
Start with your exact location, such as the highway, direction of travel, mile marker or exit, and any nearby landmarks. Then tell us about your vehicle, including the make, model and whether you're pulling a trailer. Describe what happened, what warning lights or codes you see and any sounds or smells you noticed. The more detail you share, the better we can prepare. Good information helps our truck roadside service team bring the right parts and tools, so the repair can start as soon as the technician arrives.
Can Every Problem Be Fixed on the Roadside?
Many problems can, including dead batteries, air leaks, flat tires, broken belts, minor electrical faults and some fuel system issues. Our roadside truck repair services are designed to handle the most common causes of breakdowns right where your truck sits. Some repairs, like major engine or transmission work, need the tools and space of a shop. If that's the case, our technician will explain why and help you plan the next step. Either way, you'll get an honest answer about the fastest safe solution for your truck.
What Areas Does Your Truck Roadside Assistance Cover?
Our home base is in Petersburg, and we regularly serve Richmond, Chester, Colonial Heights, Hopewell and Prince George, along with the I-95 and I-85 corridors that connect them. That covers a lot of the busiest freight traffic in central Virginia. If you're broken down near the edge of our area, give us a call anyway. We'll let you know honestly whether our team can reach you and how we can help. Sharing your location early helps us plan the best route.
Is It Safe to Wait With My Truck on the Shoulder?
Your safety is the top priority. If you can, move the truck as far from traffic as possible, turn on your hazard lights and set out your reflective triangles. Stay buckled in the cab if traffic is heavy, or move well away from the road if it's safe to do so. Never stand between the truck and passing traffic. Call 911 first if anyone is hurt or the truck is blocking a lane. Then call our emergency truck repair line so we can get a technician on the way.
Do You Help RVs and Motor Homes That Break Down on the Highway?
Yes. Our team works on RVs, motor homes and campers as well as commercial trucks, and the same roadside approach applies. If your motor home won't start at a campground or you've lost power on the interstate, give us a call. We'll ask about your vehicle and the symptoms, then send a technician who can help. Because we offer 24 hour truck repair and RV support, you can reach us even if trouble hits late at night during a family trip through the area.
