Your Truck Has Broken Down on The Road. Who Do You Call?

Mainline Team • October 2, 2021

If you have a truck or RV and it breaks down on the road, you're going to want to get it up and running again as soon as possible. However, what you don't want to do is call an everyday repair shop! Typical garages have little or no experience with larger vehicles, and there's no guarantee they'll have the expertise needed to fix your truck or RV properly. 


Of course, that won't stop them from trying . . .


To protect your investment, you want to call in a reputable RV and truck repair service that specializes in working with large vehicles. This is going to be the best way to get yourself up and running again as quickly as possible.


In particular, you want a truck repair shop which:


1 - Offers towing


You're always going to pay less for a tow if the tow truck is coming straight from the truck repair shop themselves. Some shops even offer free towing, if the repairs will be expensive enough to make it worthwhile. Otherwise, if you have to call

in an independent towing company, you can be certain they'll charge a premium before dropping you off.


2 - Has years of experience


Getting experience repairing cars is relatively easy, but repairing trucks and RVs takes a lot more time and training. The best truck and RV repair shops are those which have been in business for decades and have proven themselves to be reliable time and time again.


3 - Uses top-quality parts


Everyone wants to save a buck, but that's not a good idea when dealing with a large or heavy vehicle. Brands like SuperSteer may cost a little more, but they offer solid construction and long-term guarantees on the parts. When your truck or RV is repaired with great components, that will make it far less likely you'll need more repairs any time soon.


4 - Includes concierge services


If your truck breaks down and needs extensive repairs, they may not be completed in just a couple of hours. That's why it's a good idea to look for a repair shop that offers concierge services, such as arranging for transportation and a hotel while you're stranded. You might even be able to turn your misfortune into the opportunity for a fun day trip!
