Truck repair

Trucks that work for a living.

Commercial trucks, tractor trailers and work vans, repaired at 586 Tenth Street in Hammonton.

Downtime

The repair is not the expensive part.

A truck off the road costs more every day than almost any bill the shop will hand you.

That is the whole reason this shop is set up the way it is. The machine shop and the fab shop are under the same roof as the bays, so a job does not stop while a part is ordered, back-ordered, or discontinued. If the part does not exist any more, it gets made here.

What rolls in

Commercial and working.

Commercial trucks

Work trucks and commercial vehicles, back on the road as fast as the job allows.

Tractor trailers

Tractors and trailers, including the frame and rail work most shops send out.

Tow-behind trailers

Trailers repaired, and new aluminum-railed ones built in the fab shop.

Frames & crossmembers

Rotted steel cut out, new rail sections and crossmembers fabricated and welded in.

Engines & drivetrain

Engine work, transmissions and clutches, with the machine shop on site for the hard parts.

Brakes, air & electrical

The routine running repairs that keep a working truck legal and moving.

In the yard

Why it matters

The machine shop is the difference.

Most truck shops are a parts counter with a lift behind it. When the part is discontinued, or the frame is rotted where no replacement rail exists, the job stops and the truck sits.

Here it does not. Boring, pressure checks, cylinder heads, rods, pistons and king pins happen in the machine shop next to the bay the engine came out of, and the fab shop cuts and welds new steel for the frame. That is why other shops send their hard jobs to Tenth Street.

Questions

Straight answers.

Anything else? Call (609) 704‑8211.

Do you work on commercial trucks and tractor trailers?

Yes. Commercial vehicles, tractor trailers and tow-behind trailers. When the truck is how you make a living, the goal is getting it back on the road quickly.

Can you repair a rotted truck frame?

Usually, yes. Rotted steel gets cut out and new rail sections and crossmembers are fabricated and welded in by the fab shop. It is one of the jobs shops without a fab side have to turn away.

My truck needs a part that is no longer made. Can you help?

That is the normal reason people end up here. If the part cannot be bought, the machine shop and the fab shop will make it. Bring the old one, or what is left of it.

Do you come out to the truck, or does it come to you?

Work is done at the shop, 586 Tenth Street in Hammonton. All services are by appointment, so call first on (609) 704‑8211 and the shop will plan the job.

Do you do trailer repair as well?

Yes. Tow-behind trailers get repaired, and the fab shop builds new aluminum-railed ones from scratch.

How soon can you look at it?

Call the shop on (609) 704‑8211 and tell them what it is, what it is doing and where it is. They will tell you honestly when they can get to it.
