You're On The Right Road Already

If you're in harvey, the shop is straight down sibley — same road, seven miles, no interstate and no detour. drive in and you're here in about twenty minutes. if the truck won't make it, tell us where it's sitting and we come to you, usually within about thirty minutes. what you don't want is the other version of this day: calling around to shops that don't stock car-hauler parts, waiting on an order, and watching a loaded trailer sit while the hours turn into money you're not making. we keep the hydraulic, cylinder and fifth-wheel parts most shops have to order, so the fix usually starts the day you get here — same day in most cases, next day at the latest.

Seven Miles East On One Road

Most of the shops a Harvey operator ends up calling are a highway ride away. This one isn't. It sits seven miles east on the same street you already run, which means the trip here costs you about twenty minutes and no interstate at all.

Take Sibley Boulevard east and stay on it. It carries you through Dixmoor, Riverdale and Dolton, across into Calumet City, and then it's a short jog south to the shop — about seven miles, roughly twenty minutes. It's a truck route the whole way, so there's no low bridge to plan around, no toll, and no ramp to sit on. If you're coming off I-57 at 147th or off the Tri-State at 159th, you're already pointed the right direction.
Harvey is one of the few places in the south suburbs where car haulers load and leave on the same street. First Marshall and South Chicago Auto Auction sit side by side on Sibley, and the CN Autoport at Markham Yard is a few minutes west of them. Load at any of those and the shop is straight ahead on the road you're already on. The other thing about running out of Harvey: there's no interstate through the city, so the miles you put on a loaded deck are surface miles — lights, rough pavement, and stop-and-go on Sibley, 159th and Halsted. That's the work that finds the weak cylinder, the worn fifth wheel and the tired suspension, and it's exactly the work this shop is set up for.
Ask for Alex. He ran car haulers for about ten years before he ran this shop, so you can describe what the deck is doing in your own words — in English, Russian, or Spanish — and skip the part where you explain what a car hauler is. He looks at it, tells you straight what's wrong, and gives you the number before anyone touches a wrench. If the truck has to stay overnight, it stays behind a gate.

The Work That Surface Miles Do To A Car Hauler

Hydraulics, cylinders, fifth wheels and the deck hardware that stop-and-go running on Sibley and 159th wears out first — plus brakes, suspension, electrical, diagnostics, aftertreatment, A/C, tires, welding and PM on the same visit. One shop for the specialty work and the everyday work, so you're not dropping the trailer at one place and the tractor at another.

Closer Shops Can't Do The Deck

There are shops between here and Harvey that will fit you in sooner. What they won't have is the hydraulic and fifth-wheel parts on the shelf or a manager who ran car haulers for ten years, so a same-day job turns into a parts order and a second trip. Seven miles east is the shorter drive when you count the day, not the mileage.

The Operators Who Already Made The Drive

Nobody drives seven miles past a closer shop for no reason. These operators did — some of them from a lot further out than Harvey — and here's why they keep coming back.

Questions We Get Before The First Visit

The questions Harvey operators ask before they make the drive.

How long does it actually take to get there from Harvey?
Do you come out to Harvey if the truck can't move?
Will you have the parts, or am I making the drive for nothing?
Do I need an appointment or can I just drive over?
I run a regular semi out of Harvey, not a car hauler. Can you work on it?

Want The Number Before You Drive Over?

Send us what the truck needs and we'll come back with a straight estimate — and tell you whether the part's already on the shelf before you make the seven miles.
