Open 24/7
24/7 mobile truck & bus repair Halifax to Truro
A Red Seal mechanic drives to your truck, bus or coach and repairs it where it stopped, so you can skip the tow.
Skip the tow truck
Mobile truck and bus repair instead of a heavy tow
A heavy tow for a loaded tractor or a 45-foot coach costs real money, and the unit still waits its turn at the shop. Air leaks, brake trouble, failed sensors, electrical faults, blown hoses, broken belts and dead batteries are all jobs the van is set up for at the roadside.
With a tow
- Call a heavy wrecker and wait for one rated for a loaded tractor or a motor coach.
- Hook up and haul the unit to a shop, usually billed by the hour or the kilometre.
- The unit joins the shop queue while the load, the passengers or the route wait.
With Up & Running
- Call one number at any hour and describe what the unit is doing.
- Ryon drives the service van to wherever it stopped: shoulder, yard, terminal or dock.
- He repairs it on the spot, well enough to drive it to your shop or finish the run.
