Oakland Mobile Truck Repair
On-site diesel repair for commercial trucks across the East Bay. We come to your truck — no tow needed.
Mobile Diesel Repair in Oakland
If your truck is sitting on East 12th Street with a check engine light, or your rig just died pulling out of a distribution warehouse in San Leandro, calling a tow truck is going to cost you $1,200 before anyone even looks at the engine. Most commercial truck breakdowns don’t need a shop — they need a mechanic who shows up with the right tools and diagnostic software.
That’s what we do. We bring OEM-level diagnostic equipment directly to your truck and handle the repair on-site. Cummins, Detroit Diesel, Paccar, International, Volvo — we carry the factory software for all of them. No guessing, no parts-swapping.
What We Fix
Diesel engines are the bulk of our calls. Check engine lights, low power complaints, DPF regeneration failures, turbo issues, injector problems. Oakland trucks deal with a lot of stop-and-go port traffic, which is hard on aftertreatment systems. We see more DPF and DEF issues here than almost anywhere else in the Bay Area.
Brake problems are the second most common reason trucks call us. Air brake adjustment, worn drums, leaking chambers, ABS faults. If your brakes got you a citation at a CHP inspection, we can do the repair and get you back on the road the same day.
Trailer repair covers everything from landing gear that won’t crank to suspension problems to lights that are out. We work on dry vans, flatbeds, chassis, and reefer trailers. If the reefer unit itself needs work, we handle the mechanical side — not the refrigeration controls.
Tire service — blowouts on 880 are our bread and butter during summer months. We carry common commercial sizes on the truck and can mount roadside. If you need a less common size, we can usually source it same-day from our distributors in the East Bay.
Electrical problems — no-starts, dead batteries, alternator failures, wiring issues. Salt air from the Bay corrodes connections faster than you’d expect. We carry a full load tester and can diagnose parasitic drains on-site.

Why Mobile Instead of a Shop?
A tow from the 880 to a shop costs $800-$1,500. Then you wait for a bay. Then you pay shop labor rate. Our mobile service eliminates the tow cost and the wait. We bring diagnostic tools and common parts directly to your truck and fix it where it sits.
80% of commercial truck breakdowns can be repaired roadside with the right tools and knowledge. For the other 20% — internal engine damage, transmission rebuilds, things that genuinely need a shop — we will tell you honestly and help arrange the most cost-effective path.
East Bay Service Area
We cover Oakland and the surrounding East Bay — from Richmond down to Fremont, and east to Dublin and Livermore. The heaviest concentration of our work is along the I-880 industrial corridor between Oakland and San Jose, but we go wherever the truck is.
Oakland, San Leandro, Hayward, Fremont, Union City, Newark, Berkeley, Richmond, El Cerrito, Concord, Walnut Creek, Pleasanton, Dublin, Livermore, Castro Valley, San Lorenzo, and Alameda.
Major routes covered: I-880, I-580, I-680, I-80, Highway 92, Highway 84, Highway 238.
We don’t have a physical shop — and that’s on purpose. Shop overhead means higher labor rates. Our mobile setup keeps costs lower and eliminates towing. If your truck needs something that genuinely requires a shop, we’ll tell you straight and help you find the right facility.
