Mobile Truck Mechanic Near Me — Where We Go

Searching for a mobile truck mechanic or truck road service near me between Waukegan and Kenosha? Our mobile repair truck dispatches from 700 Trumpet Pk Dr, Zion, IL during business hours to the highway shoulder, a truck stop or your yard along I-94, US-41 and IL-173. Mobile semi truck repair handles roadside fixes; heavy-duty diesel repair that needs a bay is done at our Zion shop, about 3 minutes off I-94.

Call (224) 588-3442 with your location and the problem, and we’ll tell you whether we can fix it roadside and when we can get there.

How a Roadside Truck Service Call Works

  1. Call (224) 588-3442. Tell us where you are (highway, mile marker or exit, truck stop, yard) and what the truck is doing: warning lights, codes, air pressure, leaks, a blown tire.
  2. We tell you straight whether it can be fixed roadside and give you an ETA based on where you are.
  3. The mobile mechanic fixes it on the spot when the repair can be done safely on the shoulder or in a lot.
  4. If it can’t be fixed roadside, we can bring the truck to our Zion shop, about 3 minutes off I-94, and repair it in our bays.

Truck Road Service Near Me: Common Roadside Calls

  • Tires: blowouts and flats on tractors and trailers
  • Air system: broken air lines, glad hands, air leaks, low air pressure
  • Brakes: stuck or dragging brakes, slack adjusters, chambers
  • Electrical: dead batteries, no-start, alternator, trailer lights
  • Leaks: fuel, coolant and hydraulic leaks
  • Trailer: landing gear and coupling problems

Roadside Repair That Comes to You

When a truck or trailer goes down on I-94, US-41 (Skokie Highway), or anywhere in the Illinois/Wisconsin border area, waiting for a tow isn't always the fastest fix. Our mobile units carry the diagnostic tools, parts, and air/electrical equipment to handle most breakdowns on-site — and owner-operators running US-41 to skip the Tri-State tolls know we're right off that route too.

What We Fix Roadside vs. What Gets Towed

Fixed on-site: tire blowouts, air brake and air line failures, battery/alternator/starting issues, lighting and electrical faults, fuel and cooling leaks, trailer coupling and landing gear failures.

Towed to the shop: major engine failures, structural damage, and repairs that require a full bay and lift — the vehicle can be brought to the shop at 700 Trumpet Pk Dr, Zion, IL for bay service.

Average dispatch time varies by your exact location relative to our shop — call for a live ETA.

Need a Tow? We Can Bring Your Truck In

If your truck can’t be fixed on the spot, RT Group can tow it to our shop at 700 Trumpet Pk Dr, Zion, IL — no need to call a separate tow company and then look for a shop. Once it’s here, our own techs diagnose and repair it in our bays.

Towing availability depends on your location and the truck’s condition. Call (224) 588-3442, tell us where you are and what happened, and we’ll tell you if we can bring it in.

“I’ve been to a lot of shops, and RT Group is one of the few that actually does what they say. Rolled in with an issue on my trailer — no lights, busted wire. They got me in quick, showed me exactly what was wrong, and had it fixed that same day.”

“Brought my Freightliner Cascadia to RT Group after an air leak and brake issues. The mechanics found the problem quickly, explained what needed to be repaired, and got the truck back on the road the same day. No guessing, no unnecessary work, no surprise charges.”

“Great people working. Very professional and do quality work. We came in for some electrical issues on the trailer after another road service made a big mess there. They found the problem and fixed it quickly. Highly recommend this place.”
