Mobile Truck and RV Repair in Mobile, AL
Mobile heavy truck, trailer and RV repair serving Mobile and the I-10 and I-65 interchange. 24/7 dispatch at (850) 495-0366.
Mobile is the western end of the I-10 corridor we work, and the interchange with I-65 is one of the busiest heavy-truck junctions in the region.
Duckett Roadside Repair is based on Persimmon Hollow Road in Milton, Florida. We are a mobile repair outfit, not a towing company. The point of the operation is to get the truck moving again where it sits.
What we get called for around Mobile
A breakdown in or approaching that interchange is genuinely dangerous, and it backs traffic up quickly. Getting a truck out of the traffic lane and then repaired is the priority in that order.
- Air system leaks and brake faults
- Tire failures — road service, mount and balance, new and used
- Charging and electrical: alternators, batteries, starters, lighting
- Cooling system problems and hose failures
- DPF and emissions faults that have put a truck into derate
- Jump starts, fuel delivery, lockouts
- RV, motorhome, travel trailer and fifth-wheel work
What tells us what to bring
The single most useful thing a driver can do is describe the symptom precisely rather than offering a diagnosis. What it does, when it started, what changed, and whether the truck will move under its own power. That determines what comes on the truck and it saves a second trip.
- Where you are — highway, direction, mile marker or exit, and which side.
- What the truck is: make, engine, and whether it is loaded.
- The symptom, in plain terms.
- Any dash warnings or derate.
- Whether it is drivable at all.
- Whether you are in a safe place to wait, because that changes the order we do things.
When a tow is the honest answer
Sometimes it is. A catastrophic engine failure, a broken frame, a transmission that has come apart internally, or a truck in a position that cannot be worked on safely all need a tow rather than a mobile crew. We will say so on the phone rather than turning up, looking, and charging you to be told.
Safety on the shoulder
Get as far right as you can. Triangles out further back than feels necessary, because closing speed on a loaded truck is high. High-visibility vest on. And stand well away from the traffic side of the truck — not between the truck and the lane. That last one is what actually gets people hurt.
