Two ways this goes. If the truck still rolls, point it east on I-88 and we'll have the part on the bench before you get here. If it doesn't, call and we come to Aurora — about an hour and a half. Either way you get a straight diagnosis and a number before anyone touches it. What you can't do is wait it out: pickups you can't make get handed to the next carrier, and a hauler parked in Aurora with dead hydraulics isn't just losing today — it's losing the units it was supposed to be moving all week.
It's a real drive — sixty-three miles and about an hour and a half. Here's the run, what you're likely leaving behind in Aurora, and what happens when you pull in.
Aurora is inside our road-service range — call and we're rolling, usually there in about an hour and a half. Tell us what the truck is doing and where it's sitting, and we bring the parts most likely to fix it rather than showing up to look.
Hydraulics, cylinders, fifth wheels and bushings are the specialty — but brakes, tires, electrical, diagnostics, emissions, aftertreatment, A/C, welding and PM all run through the same shop. If you're making a ninety-minute drive anyway, bring everything the truck needs and everything the next truck needs. One stop, one shop, no chasing three vendors around Aurora for work we could have done in a day.
Deck, hydraulics, fifth wheel, ramps and everything else that makes a hauler a hauler — the work most shops send you away for.
Leaking, drifting or dead cylinders, hoses and lines rebuilt or replaced with the parts already on the shelf.
Repair, repositioning and replacement — the wear that gets missed until it becomes a problem on the highway.
Lights, wiring, alternators and starters traced back to the actual fault instead of parts thrown at it.
Codes read and traced to what's actually causing them, plus OBD and CARB testing when it's time.
Forced regens, DEF dosing valves and aftertreatment faults sorted before the truck derates on you.
Scheduled service with a real inspection attached, so small things get caught while the truck is already stopped.
Pads, shoes, drums, air system and adjustment — inspected honestly and replaced only where it's warranted.
Air bags, shocks, bushings and pins on tractor and trailer, so the load rides right and nothing wears out early.
Cracks, mounts, brackets and deck structure repaired in-house instead of farmed out to another shop.
There are shops closer to Aurora. The question is whether they've ever rebuilt a deck cylinder or have the bushing on the shelf tonight — because a shop that has to order the part costs you the week, not the afternoon. Here the equipment is the specialty, the parts are already in the building, and the man writing your quote used to run the same rig. Ninety minutes each way is a long drive for a guess. It's a short one for a truck that goes back to work tomorrow.
Diagnosed today, fixed today — same day in most cases, next day at the latest.
The hydraulic, cylinder and fifth-wheel parts most shops have to order are already on the shelf.
Diagnosed by someone who ran car haulers for about ten years, so the real problem gets found the first time.
Explain the problem the way you'd explain it to another driver — in English, Russian, or Spanish.
A straight quote before the work starts, and no parts sold that the truck didn't need.
Minutes off the corridor, so getting to the shop doesn't cost you more time than the repair.
Almost nobody in these reviews is from Burnham. They came from up and down the corridor because this was the shop that had the part and knew the equipment — the same reason it's worth pointing a truck east out of Aurora.
My husband came to this shop today right after his trip, around 4 PM on Friday! , in an urgent situation. They took him in immediately and repaired everything within just an hour — very professional and fast. We were also pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the price was. We’re truly grateful for the professionalism, quick service, and overall great experience. Thank you so much! Highly recommend!
Had an electrical problem on one of our car hauler trailers on a Saturday. The guys at Fleet SC said to stop by so they could take a look, they got the driver rolling again in no time. life savers before the long weekend. They didn't over charge or anything, very fair and honest, helpful guys. Will definitely save them for the future.
Great place , professional mechanics, easy in and out , reasonable prices, bilingual customer service ( English, Russian) the company is reliable in all sectors, customer lounge with coffee and snacks. Enjoyed my experience!
Straight answers to what Aurora operators ask before they commit to the drive.
Send us what the truck needs and we'll come back with a straight estimate — and confirm the parts are on the shelf before you spend three hours on the road.
Tell us what it's doing and where it's sitting. If it rolls, you're ninety minutes east on I-88 and we'll have the part waiting. If it doesn't, we're on our way — about an hour and a half to Aurora.
Five minutes off the interstate and about ten from where I-80, I-94 and I-90 come together, with a gated lot for trucks that have to sit.
