There are two ways out of this. If the truck still moves, run it down I-355 to I-80 and we'll have the part on the bench before you pull in — 50 minutes, and you get a straight diagnosis and a number before a wrench turns. If it doesn't move, call and we come to you in Bolingbrook, about an hour. What doesn't work is limping it: the scale sits right there on I-55 west of I-355, and a hauler with a leaking cylinder or a dead light isn't getting waved through — you're parked either way, just without the fix.
Fifty minutes, one merge, and no city streets until the last mile. Here's the run, what you're likely dealing with before you make it, and what happens when you roll through the gate.
Bolingbrook is inside our range — call and we're rolling to you in about an hour, whether you're shut down at the plaza on Bolingbrook Drive, pulled off at the scale, or stopped on the shoulder of I-355. We come with car-hauler parts on the truck, not just a toolbox.
Hydraulics and fifth wheels are what we're known for, but a truck that's here for a cylinder usually needs its brakes looked at too. We do the whole truck and trailer — PM, tires, electrical, emissions, welding, A/C — so a 50-minute run from Bolingbrook covers everything at once instead of sending you to a second shop.
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 you than 42 miles — that's not the question. The question is whether they stock a hauler cylinder, know how your deck is supposed to sit, and can hand it back the same day instead of ordering a part and parking your units for three. Fifty minutes is cheap next to a week of somebody learning your equipment on your clock.
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.
Most of these came from operators who weren't around the corner either — they made the drive, or we came to them. Here's how it went.
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!
What Bolingbrook operators ask before they head over.
Send us the problem and we'll come back with a price and whether the part is on the shelf — before you spend 50 minutes on I-355.
Tell us what the truck is doing and we'll tell you straight — drive it in, or we're out to you in about an hour. Alex answers in English, Russian, or Spanish.
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.
