Mobile Tire Repair or Replacement

One of the most frequent heavy duty truck issues is a tire failure. Semi’s carrying heavy loads over long distances can experience sudden tire blowouts due to underinflation, excessive wear, or road debris. Even a tire puncture—while sometimes manageable with temporary sealants and air top-ups—can rapidly escalate into a roadside breakdown if left unchecked.

Mobile repair teams from Diversified Towing & Recovery can repair or replace your flat or damaged tires 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Tire Blowouts

Sudden tire failure due to excessive heat buildup, underinflation, or impact damage. Blowouts can cause loss of control and require our immediate roadside assistance.

Punctures and Slow Leaks

Nails, screws, or sharp debris can puncture a tire, leading to gradual air loss. If unnoticed, this can result in uneven wear and eventual failure. A damaged or leaking valve stem can cause air loss, leading to a flat tire even if the tread is intact. If this is discovered at a port of entry or inspection station, we can dispatch a mobile repair truck to patch your tire and get you back on your way.

Tread Separation and Retread Failures

Poor bonding between the tread and the tire casing can cause the tread to peel off under stress and suddenly detach, potentially damaging the truck’s body or nearby vehicles. Tire tread can strike the truck’s body, damaging wheel wells, fenders, and even fuel tanks. We can replace your tire and make necessary truck repairs on the spot to get you safely back on the road.

Sidewall Damage

Often discovered at a scale house, cracks, bulges, or cuts in the sidewall weaken the tire’s structure, increasing the risk of failure under heavy loads. Our mobile repair truck can come to the weigh station or truck scale to replace your tires with sidewall damage.

Mobile Truck Repair Welding

Mobile truck repair welding is often necessary when structural damage or component failure renders a truck unsafe to operate.

Our mobile repair teams perform on-site structural and component welding repairs on trucks and trailers, eliminating the need for towing to a repair shop.

Cracked or Broken Truck Frames

Heavy-duty trucks endure significant stress, and over time, their frames can develop cracks due to repeated load-bearing cycles or impact damage. Mobile welding technicians can reinforce or repair these cracks on-site, preventing further structural failure.

Damaged Trailer Hitches and Couplings

A broken trailer hitch or coupling can render a truck incapable of towing its load. Our mobile welders can repair or reinforce these trailer components, ensuring that the truck can safely resume operations.

Exhaust System Repairs

Exhaust pipes and mufflers can be susceptible to corrosion or impact damage, which may lead to leaks or detachment. We often use welding to reattach or seal damaged sections, restoring proper exhaust function and compliance with emissions regulations.

Suspension and Axle Component Repairs

Trucks that experience axle damage or suspension failures may require welding to reinforce or replace brackets, mounts, or other structural components. We find this necessary after off-road recovery situations where a truck needs immediate repairs to continue its journey.

Fuel Tank and Hydraulic System Repairs

Leaks in fuel tanks or hydraulic systems can be hazardous and lead to operational downtime. Our mobile welding services can patch or reinforce damaged tanks and hydraulic lines, preventing leaks and ensuring continued safe functionality.

Body and Panel Repairs

Trucks involved in minor collisions or accidents may suffer damage to their body panels, doors, or cargo enclosures. Welding can be used to repair or reinforce these areas, restoring the truck’s integrity without requiring time for extensive shop repairs.

Our mobile truck welding services offer a cost-effective and time-saving solution for truck operators, enabling them to address critical repairs without the delays associated with towing and traditional shop-based fixes.

Common Truck Breakdown Scenarios

Here are additional examples of common breakdown scenarios that heavy-duty truck drivers expirence on the road:

Brake System Malfunctions

Brake failures or fading brakes are critical scenarios that can put both the driver and others at risk. Over time, worn brake pads, decreased fluid levels, or air brake system issues can lead to insufficient stopping power. In extreme cases, sudden brake failure can render a truck unsafe, necessitating immediate mobile roadside repair or towing until the problem is fully resolved.

Engine Overheating

Engine overheating is another common breakdown scenario, especially during heavy driving conditions or in hot weather. A malfunctioning radiator fan, low coolant levels, or blockages in the cooling system might trigger this situation, prompting an urgent need for an on-the-spot mobile repair or coolant top-off before proceeding

Electrical and Battery Issues

Electrical failures, such as a dead battery or a malfunctioning alternator, can catch drivers by surprise. Trucks that have been idling for extended periods at rest areas, truck stops, or weigh stations, or those with worn-out battery components, may suddenly fail to start. A complete loss of power on the road requires our mobile repair unit for a jump-start, battery replacement, or repair or replacement of a failed alternator.

 

Transmission and Drivetrain Problems

Trucks might also encounter issues with gear shifting or fluid leaks within the transmission system. Difficulty engaging gears, slipping transmissions, or abnormal noises during shifts can indicate underlying issues that might render the truck inoperable. Diversified Towing & Recovery’s mobile truck repair units possess the tools to perform emergency diagnostics and temporary adjustments, allowing the truck to be safely moved where it can undergo more extensive repairs.

Fuel and Fluid Shortages

Running out of fuel or noticing low levels of essential fluids, such as engine oil, coolant, or transmission fluid, can also cause truck breakdowns. Our emergency mobile truck repair teams can provide on-site fuel delivery or fluid top-offs to temporarily remedy the situation.

These scenarios are not only challenging because they halt driver operations abruptly, but they also demand a rapid response by our mobile truck repair vehicles to minimize downtime.

“Thank you for your prompt service. I broke down at 10:30 PM. less than 20 minutes from Des Moines. No towing company close by would help me until 7 or 8 in the morning. I should add that I drive a semi truck hauling doubles. Your company responded 5 hours before the other towing companies closer to me would have. Thanks again for the fast and courteous service.”
