When the dash lights up, the clock starts ticking. We have no time to lose. Our mobile mechanics load up and roll out, ready to tackle the problem where it happened: on an icy grade, in a pull-off by the weigh station, or outside a logging site where cell service barely holds. Some days it’s a coolant hose that splits open mid-run; other days, it's an air leak that drains the system before the brakes release. We’ve chased these problems in every season, often with snow hitting sideways or summer heat bouncing off the asphalt.
If we can wrench it roadside, we’re on it. And if the job’s bigger? We’ll get you towed back to our 40,000-square-foot shop on Dale Road by our in-house towing crew and without wasting daylight. This isn’t "wait on parts" country. This is plug in the diagnostics, dig into the problem, and get it done. We’ve built our service around speed, grit, and showing up when it counts. We know your truck has deadlines to meet and cargo to deliver. Diesel trouble doesn’t care what time it is. Good thing we don’t either.

You don’t need to search far for a Diesel Mechanic who actually shows up prepared. We’ve built our business on rolling directly to you with everything necessary to diagnose and fix the issue roadside. Our mobile crews know the roads between Houtzdale and Houtzdale by heart. They’ve handled mid-haul breakdowns outside Falls Creek, after-hours calls in Luthersburg, and long-wait turnarounds off exit 120. If the truck can be fixed where it stands, we’ll make it happen right there.
Mobile service? Yep. Full repairs at our Houtzdale shop? Absolutely. We know diesel because that’s all we do, every day, from the cab to the tail. You won’t get passed around. You’ll get a mechanic who knows what they’re doing and brings the gear to back it up. So stop Googling and start dialing. We’re local. We’re fast. And we’ve already fixed a rig just like yours this morning.
We’ve been in the game for decades, turning wrenches on everything from old-school mechanical Cummins to modern DEF-heavy powerplants. Walk into our shop and you’ll see a mix: classic rigs with hundreds of thousands of miles and newer trucks with blinking dash lights. Our crew speaks both languages: the seasoned techs and the sensor-savvy new school. We’ve seen just about every failure a diesel can throw. From injector issues to turbo failures, we’ve rebuilt, replaced, and reprogrammed them all. Our diagnostics don’t stop at the first code; we dig until we find the real cause. That’s why so many fleets across Central PA count on us when performance and uptime matter.
Drivers know us by name because we don’t do guesswork or delays. We get the problem solved and the rig back out. That’s what makes us Houtzdale’s go-to diesel shop. We work on what rolls in, and we stand behind what rolls out. If you’ve got diesel problems and you’re anywhere near Dale Road, pull in. We’re the ones who’ll get it right the first time because anything else is just wasting your time.
Our diesel services cover the full system, front to back. We handle mechanical repair, maintenance, and diagnostics, as well as oil changes, brake jobs, and wiring work. We fix leaks that hide under the hood, regen issues that stall production, and electrical shorts that fry your dash lights. We even stock the parts most drivers end up needing on the spot. That way, if you limp in with an air or coolant leak, we can patch, seal, and refill before the truck cools. When the repair calls for heavier work, the rig rolls inside. We take care of turbochargers, exhaust systems, radiators, and complete cooling system overhauls. Welding and fabrication happen onsite for cracked mounts or damaged structural components. Each repair is logged and double-checked before it leaves the bay.
