Truck, bus and motor coach repair

Fully mobile

Repairs at your garage, yard, shop or the roadside

When a bus or truck breaks down, the route, the load and the passengers wait with it. Because we are fully mobile, the repair happens at your garage, your yard, your shop or the side of the highway. You save the cost of a tow and the wait at a repair shop, and routine maintenance can be done while your vehicles are parked, outside the hours they are earning money.

Who we work with

Bus companies, coach operators and trucking fleets

We work with bus companies, school bus contractors, coach operators and trucking fleets. Fleet customers can set up a maintenance contract, which puts their units on a regular service schedule and gives them priority when something breaks down.

Who you deal with

An owner-operated mobile mechanic in Halifax

Ryon does the repairs. He is the one who answers technical questions on the phone, drives the van out and does the work, so the person diagnosing your vehicle is the person fixing it.

Amanda manages the business: fleet accounts, scheduling, quotes and invoices. If you run a fleet, Amanda is the person to talk to about a maintenance contract.

Why we started

The idea behind the business is simple: most breakdowns can be repaired on site by a qualified mechanic who is willing to come out at any hour.
