Are you stuck on top of a median, parking block or off road at a delivery location? No matter if it is less than 5 feet or over 500 feet; we won’t leave you stranded. Slick roads due to wet, icy, or snowy conditions may cause your semi-truck, delivery truck, or RV to slide off the road and into a snowbank or ditch? Stuck and can’t get out? No problem, Stranded Towing & Roadside winch you out in a cinch. If your semi-truck, tractor trailer, box truck, bus, or RV, is stuck in the mud, snow, water, in a ditch, or on top of a curb or some other object, we can get you back on the road fast, quick, and in a hurry. Proper training and years of experience is the key to heavy and medium duty winching, lifting, and recovering a vehicle without further damaging it.

Our well-equipped heavy and medium duty tow trucks have all the necessary tools and equipment to help you in roadside emergencies where you require a tow truck with a winch to bring you back onto the roadway. Additional charges may apply if the winching distance exceeds the original estimate by the customer or if the vehicle cannot be operated after it is winched a towing charge will apply.

Frozen engine, fuel, and air lines

If your truck is experiencing diesel gelling Stranded Heavy Duty Repair can help unfreeze your system. We will bring out Diesel 911, Howes anti-gel treatment, and change the required filters. When necessary, we can even gently heat the fuel system and oil pan.

Diesel fuel gelling happens when the paraffin usually present in diesel starts to solidify when the temperature drops. At 32 degrees, the wax in liquid form will crystallize and leave the fuel tank clouded. At 10-15 degrees, it will finally start to gel and clog the tank and fuel filters.

There are several signs that can tell you that your diesel has already gelled. One of these is when you are having trouble starting your engine. Diesel fuel gelling clogs the fuel lines and fuel filters, preventing the fuel to pass through them. This phenomenon then prevents the engine from starting. Another sign is when there is a difference in the fuel rail pressure. This is likely the cause of problems like sluggish performance and inability to accelerate properly. Call Stranded Heavy Duty Repair 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week to solve your diesel gelling issues.

Engine Repair 

Our mobile truck mechanics have experience working with all kinds of engine repair and maintenance. We have the tools to properly diagnose and repair any engine problem that puts your truck out of commission.

Diesel engines are extremely reliable, but regular maintenance and repairs are needed if you want to keep your truck in top shape. Oil changes must be done on schedule and filters have to be cleaned or replaced at the proper intervals.

Since diesel engines don’t have electric engine components like spark plugs, wires, and ignition coils, there are fewer parts to maintain. But you still need to keep a regular maintenance schedule to avoid costly repairs down the road.

We can handle problems like fuel delivery issues, leaking gaskets and hoses, engine cooling problems, dirty fuel injectors, and hard starting.  When you have a diesel engine failure, it’s important to have the right person working for you.

If you are experiencing any of the problems listed below, call the best diesel mechanic in Indianapolis to have your engine diagnosed and repaired.

ENGINE OVERHEATING

If your engine gets too hot, your cooling system needs to be inspected for leaks or faulty parts. Radiator leaks blockages, worn belts or even worn tires can put undue load on the engine and cause it to overheat. Cooling fans often malfunction because of faulty motors, fuses or relays. Even the excessive summer heat can wear heavily on your truck’s cooling system.

OIL LEAKS

Oil leaks are also a sign that something needs to be repaired. It can be something simple like a new bolt or drain seal, or it could require more significant repairs.  If these parts are in poor condition, they’ll put excessive strain on the engine, which can quickly lead to major engine damage.

HARD STARTING

When your engine won’t start or starts hard, that’s another clue something is off. Battery and starter problems can disable a semi-truck very quickly, but the repairs are usually not difficult and can be repaired in a jiffy.

SMOKING ENGINE

If your truck smokes excessively under normal conditions, that’s a sign something internal needs to be fixed. Depending on what color the smoke is will determine if the problem is related to fuel injector problems, worn piston rings or cylinders or a loss of compression or issues with engine timing.

Air Brake Repairs

Brake failures are a common cause of truck accidents and may lead to very costly lawsuits, injuries and even death. These terrible instances can all be avoided by properly maintaining your truck’s brake system and having air brake repairs done at the first sign of trouble.

The importance of the air brake system on a semi-truck can’t be overlooked. Since your truck can carry such tremendous weight while fully loaded, it’s important to have an air brake system that is fully functional. When your truck’s air brakes start to fail, driving safely becomes a difficult task.

Stranded Towing Heavy Duty Repair will immediately dispatch a service technician to your location in the Indianapolis metro area so you can continue your route in the safest possible manner.  Our mobile truck mechanics have the skills and experience to fix your brakes quickly and efficiently.

The way the air brake system functions present more opportunities for problems than traditional vehicle brake systems. The use of multiple couplings, airlines, and cables mean that more time must be spent on inspections, maintenance and repairs to make sure the entire system is sound.

Parking brakes and emergency brakes are also affected when the air brake system malfunctions. Since the emergency brake system is *required by law to be in good working order, it becomes even more critical to maintain your air brakes.

*CFR 49 393.43– Every motor vehicle, if used to tow a trailer equipped with brakes, shall be equipped with a means for providing that in the case of a breakaway of the trailer, the service brakes on the towing vehicle will be capable of stopping the towing vehicle.

Let the professionals at Stranded Heavy Duty Repair diagnose your air brakes. We’ll make sure the entire system is up to par, not just the parts that need repair. We can even do the maintenance on your air brakes when doing other repairs or routine maintenance.

So do yourself, your passenger and other drivers safe by fixing any braking problems immediately when they show up.

AIR SUSPENSION REPAIRS

If you need suspension repairs on your truck in the Indianapolis area, call Midwest Truck and Trailer Repair and we’ll dispatch a mobile truck mechanic immediately to your area.

The suspension system on your truck is important for two main reasons. First, it keeps the ride comfortable and second, it keeps the ride height consistent so your loads are safely transported. Air spring can wear out over time and when they do these two main areas will be significantly affected. Some common problems you might experience when your suspension system needs repairs are:

TRUCK RIDING LOW

If your truck feels like it’s not balancing a load properly or feels like it’s leaning to one side or the other, you have a compressor problem or something is wrong with one of the air springs. Either problem will need to be repaired immediately to maintain a safe ride for you and your cargo.

TRUCK RIDING ROUGH

One of the main functions of the suspensions system in your truck is to maintain a comfortable ride. So when you start to feel each bump and rough patch on the road, you might have a problem.

THE SYSTEM IS LEAKING AIR

It’s called air suspension because the entire system depends on constant air pressure to operate properly. When there is a leak in one of the lines or fittings, you may have one or more of the above symptoms. Fortunately, leaks are relatively simple to diagnose and fix.

AIR SPRINGS BURST

If your air springs blow, it’s typically caused by overloading your trailer. It’s important to know the load limit to your springs and always ensure you aren’t going over that weight. This is one problem you want to avoid at all costs.

If you’re having any air ride problems, we’ll dispatch a technician to you immediately so you can get back on the road ASAP. Call Stranded Heavy Duty Repair. (317)-546-1234

Trailer Repair Services 

Your trailer is an important part of your job as a truck driver, whether it’s electrical issues, brake problems, or suspension woes, call Stranded Heavy Duty Truck and Trailer Repair to get your trailer back on the road again. Sometimes a breakdown isn’t due to an engine problem, but an issue with your trailer.  Our service technicians have the tools and expertise to accurately diagnose and repair your trailer when you get stuck roadside. Here are some of the most common trailer repairs that we do.  If you have one of these issues or something that isn’t listed, call us right away and let us get you back on the road ASAP.

TRAILER DOORS

Securing your cargo is one of the most important parts of your job, which is why it’s so important to make sure your trailer doors are solid and in good working order.  A damaged door can quickly put you out of service and get you off schedule the same as a major engine problem.

TRAILER FLOORS

Though the floor of your trailer isn’t something you think about too much, if it gets damaged, it can put your whole load at risk of being lost or damaged.  The safe arrival of your cargo depends on a sound floor.  We can handle any dry bulk trailer repairs you might have. The floor is an important part of your truck/trailer. A trailer floor highly determines the safety and delivery of your goods.

DRIVING LIGHTS

Lights are one of the most important parts on your truck, especially if you drive late at night or in the early morning.  Lights keep you and other drivers safe on the road by alerting them to exactly where your truck starts and ends.  Electric problems can wreak havoc on your trailer’s lighting and brake systems too. Don’t let these trailer repairs go unaddressed.  If your lighting system isn’t working properly, whether it’s a couple burnt out bulbs or a more serious electrical problem, call us today to have it diagnosed.

BRAKES

You rely on your truck brakes a lot, especially when hauling a full load.  A loss of braking power can mean the difference between safely being able to stop and having a serious accident.  Your trailer brakes handle a lot of stress dealing with the massive weight of commercial truckloads. Your braking system needs to be checked and maintained regularly to make sure you have the stopping power to handle your cargo load. We can repair any trailer brake problems and even do routine maintenance while we’re at it. Don’t let your trailer brakes wear out without having them checked regularly.  It’s better to change them early than to risk your safety and the safety of other drivers.

Suspension and Air Ride Systems

Your suspension system is made up of many parts that contribute to both ride comfort and safety.  Your truck sees a lot of miles, which causes a lot of wear on springs, shocks, bushings, and linkages.  Air leaks and loose suspension can also spell trouble when transporting goods cross country. Leaking air hoses, loose cables and worn bushings all need to be 100% so you can safely make it to your destination. Carrying heavy loads and dealing with the rough terrain of hills and mountains means these parts are subject to wear and tear much quicker than normal vehicles.  When you have suspension problems on your trailer, we can get you fixed up and back to 100% capacity while you wait.

TRIM COMPONENTS

Trim pieces often take damage during transport and loading/unloading. Bumpers take heavy hits, wing flaps are knocked around and reflectors are often busted from normal day to day operations. Let our technicians put your trailer back together so it looks and performs it’s best.

For immediate assistance with all your trailer repair needs. For best truck repair service in Indianapolis call Stranded Towing Heavy Duty Repair. (317)-546-1234

Liftgate Repairs

When you need liftgate repairs call Stranded Heavy Duty Repair.  Liftgates don’t break too often, but damage from normal wear and tear can cause problems. Having a liftgate that won’t carry a load or one that is stuck in position is a time delay waiting to happen. Liftgate repairs are easy to diagnose, and the repairs are typically straight forward. There are only a few basic components that make up your lift, so we can fix you up and get you moving quickly.

Some of the most common liftgate problems you’ll experience are listed below.

·      Platform not raising properly

·      Lift doesn’t raise when loaded

·      Platform drifts down when raised off the ground

·      Platform raises when loaded, but drifts back down slowly

·      Lift will not lower

·      Lift lowers very slowly

·      Hydraulic fluid leaking

Any of these lift gate repairs can be done quickly and efficiently by our technicians. If you’re having problems, you can count on us to get you back on track. Call Stranded Heavy Duty Repair. (317)-546-1234

Transmission and Driveline Repairs

If you need transmission repairs in Indianapolis or the surrounding areas, call Midwest Truck and Trailer repair. Our mobile truck technicians will diagnose your transmission problem and hopefully get you back on the road quickly.

Transmission failures are never sudden. There are always signs that something is wrong before you end up on the side of the road. Regular transmission maintenance is crucial to getting the most mileage from your truck. There are so many moving parts and components that make up your transmission, it only takes a small malfunction to put you in serious trouble.

Transmission fluid is the lifeblood of your truck’s drive train. When the fluid in the transmission is compromised, it’s only a matter of time before you start experiencing shifting problems. Maintaining your fluid level and having routine filter changes done will help avoid costly repairs down the line.

Heavy loads and harsh road conditions are hard on your transmission. When you start having problems like those listed below, get it checked right away. Don’t wait until it’s too late and your transmission needs to be replaced because you ignored the problem when it could be fixed. We have the tools and experience to diagnose and repair any transmission trouble your truck might have.
