About

On the road since 2016

PDX Mobile Truck & Trailer Repair has been fixing trucks and trailers across the Portland metro since 2016. Mobile only: no shop, no drop-off, no waiting in a lobby. You talk to a technician, and the service truck comes to wherever the problem is, day or night.

We work with owner-operators, small carriers and local fleets. The goal on every call is the same: get the truck safe and moving without selling you parts you don't need.

FAQ

Questions drivers ask

How fast can you get to me?

In the core area, usually 30 to 90 minutes depending on traffic and where the truck sits. You get a real ETA on the phone, and we update you if it changes.

How do you charge?

A service call fee covers travel and the first diagnostic time. After that it's labor by the hour plus parts. You get the numbers before we start, and there are no surprise add-ons on the invoice.

What payment do you take?

Credit and debit cards, cash, Zelle, and fleet checks (EFS, Comdata, T-Chek). Approved fleet accounts can get net terms with a single monthly invoice.

Do you do annual DOT inspections?

Yes. Annual FMCSA inspections per 49 CFR 396.17 at your yard or lot, with the completed inspection report and sticker. If something fails, we can usually fix it in the same visit.

What if it can't be fixed on the road?

We tell you right away, get the truck as safe as possible, and help arrange a tow to a shop that can handle the job. You only pay for the time spent.

Do you serve Washington?

Yes. Vancouver, Camas, Washougal, Battle Ground, Ridgefield, and I-5 north to Longview and Kelso.

Nights, weekends and holidays?

Roadside emergencies are 24/7, including holidays. Scheduled work like PM services and inspections is booked during regular hours, or on weekends for fleets.

Is the work guaranteed?

Parts carry the manufacturer's warranty and our labor is guaranteed. Ask the technician for the terms on your specific repair; they're printed on the invoice.
