If you run car haulers out of Hammond, this shop is closer than most of the places you've been calling — seven miles west on I-94, with the hydraulic, cylinder and fifth-wheel parts already on the shelf instead of on order. A hauler sitting with a load committed isn't waiting on a repair, it's losing the day, so we work two ways. If the truck can still move, bring it in and we'll get on it today. If it can't, we come to you — road service into Hammond, usually there in 20 to 30 minutes. Owner-operator or fleet, hauler or any other semi, call and tell us what it's doing.
Most Hammond operators are already on I-94 before they've finished deciding where to take the truck. Head west, take Exit 71B, and you're at the shop in about seven miles — roughly fifteen minutes in normal traffic, and you're out of Indiana's busiest stretch of interstate before it has a chance to cost you an hour.
Hammond sits well inside our road-service range — call and we're usually on scene in 20 to 30 minutes, anywhere from the Borman shoulder to a yard or a load-out lot. A lot of what strands a hauler gets fixed right where it sits, which saves you the tow and the second wait at whatever shop it would have been dragged to.
Car haulers are what this shop knows cold, but the truck doesn't have to be a hauler for us to take it. Once you've made the drive once, most Hammond operators bring the rest of their work here too — one shop, one set of records, no shop-hopping.
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 between Hammond and here. The operators who keep coming back do it because this one is built around car haulers instead of taking them as an exception.
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 operators didn't start out in Hammond either. They came from up and down the corridor, on both sides of the state line, after the shops closer to them couldn't do the work or didn't have the parts.
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!
The things Hammond operators usually want settled before they point the truck west.
Send us what the truck needs and we'll come back with a straight estimate — no run-around, no surprises when you pick it up.
Tell us what it's doing and where it is. If it can move, you're fifteen minutes out. If it can't, we come to you.
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.
