If your fifth wheel has play in the plate, a jaw that won't hold a lock, or it's due for replacement — or you need it repositioned for clearance and weight distribution — you're in the right place. Fifth wheel work on a car hauler is what this shop is set up for, with the parts already in stock and a diagnosis from someone who's run the equipment. Whether you run one truck or a fleet, local or just passing through, it's handled by the specialists who do this work every day.
A fifth wheel rarely goes all at once — it gets looser, more expensive to fix, and less safe to load with every day you keep running it.
Slop doesn't stay small. Every loaded mile grinds a loose plate further into its mount, so a plate job you could have handled this week becomes a plate-and-mount job next week — and a hauler you can't trust to hold a load is one you're not loading to capacity.
The jaws are what keep your load coupled to the truck, so when they stop holding, the truck isn't safe to load — and a truck you can't load isn't earning. The longer it runs worn, the more the whole locking mechanism goes with it.
A fifth wheel set wrong throws your weight off, and that shows up as uneven tire and axle wear and trouble on the scale. Those costs pile up quietly for every day it goes uncorrected, long after you've stopped noticing the handling.
A fifth wheel comes in as a symptom, not a part number — tell us what it's doing and we'll find where the wear actually is.
Jaws that won't close on the kingpin, won't hold once they do, or fight you every time you couple and uncouple. This is the wear that leaves a load only half-locked to the truck.
A top plate that's grooved, gouged, or dry, so the trailer chatters, binds, or rides rough. We'll tell you straight whether it's a repair or a replacement.
Movement where the fifth wheel bolts to the frame, worn pivot bushings, or a bracket that's cracked or working loose. Slop down here feels like play in the plate but lives underneath it — sorting out which is which is half the job.
A handle that won't pull, sticks halfway, or won't stay latched, so uncoupling turns into a fight on the lot. Usually the linkage, sometimes the jaws behind it.
When the unit's too far gone to rebuild, a complete fifth wheel swap — the right head for how you load, installed and set up right instead of left sitting on a part order.
Relocating or re-setting the fifth wheel so your weight sits right on the axles and your load gets the clearance it needs. This is the setup work most shops don't touch, and it's why a lot of haulers come here.
Fifth wheel work punishes a wrong guess and a slow parts order — here's why operators don't take it just anywhere.
Every hour that hauler sits is money you're not making. We turn most fifth wheel work same day in most cases, next day at the latest.
You shouldn't lose two more days waiting on a part. We keep the fifth wheel heads, jaw kits, and mount hardware most shops have to order.
Slop in a fifth wheel can be the plate, the jaws, or the mount underneath — and the wrong call means paying twice. Ours comes from a shop manager who ran car haulers for years.
Fifth wheel work is safety work, and you want it explained straight before anyone turns a wrench. You'll get it in English, Russian, or Spanish.
Nobody wants to wonder if they got worked over on a safety repair. You get the quote before we start, and a fair price for what the job actually takes.
Five minutes off the interstate, about ten from the I-80/94/90 convergence. A short detour when your deck's down mid-route.
No appointment maze, no waiting on a callback to find out whether we can even do the work on your fifth wheel.
Send us what the fifth wheel's doing and get a number back — no sales call, no run-around.
Tell us the symptom and we'll tell you straight whether the head, jaw kit, or mount hardware is on the shelf and when you're rolling.
Thirty reviews, and on fifth wheel work the same story keeps coming back: another shop called it fine, we found the wear that wasn't, and the load's been locked to the truck ever since.
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!

You came in for the fifth wheel, but the truck it's bolted to needs the usual too — and the shop that specializes in car haulers is a full-service truck and trailer shop underneath. Handle it all in one stop instead of chasing the next appointment across town.
The hub for everything car-hauler — hydraulics, cylinders, bushings, pins, and fifth wheels, all under one roof by the specialists who do it every day.
Deck won't lift, a cylinder weeping, a line that won't hold pressure — the hydraulic work most shops have to order parts for, with ours on the shelf.
Starters, alternators, generators, lights, and the wiring that runs the length of a hauler and fails where you can't see it.
Codes read and traced to what's actually causing them, plus OBD and CARB testing when it's time.
Forced regens, DEF dosage valves, and the derate that puts you on the shoulder at the worst possible time.
Scheduled service on your terms, planned around your loads instead of a breakdown.
Shoes, drums, air systems — semi and trailer both, including the axles under your deck.
Air bags, shocks, ride height, plus the bushings and pins that wear first on hauler equipment.
Cracks, mounts, ramps and decks — fabrication and repair on the parts of a hauler that take the abuse.
Recharge, leaks, compressors — because summer in a truck without it isn't a small problem.
The things operators ask before they bring a fifth wheel in — answered the way we'd tell you on the phone.
Send us what the fifth wheel's doing and get a number back — no sales call, no run-around.
Tell us the symptom and we'll tell you straight whether the head, jaw kit, or mount hardware is on the shelf and when you're rolling.
