Onsite Truck & Trailer Repair

Onsite Truck & Trailer Repair is a truck and trailer shop based in Shorewood, Illinois, and it works both ways: it comes to you for roadside repairs, and you can bring the rig to its shop as well.

On the RV side, it works on motorhomes, luxury motor coaches and buses, with repairs covering air-conditioning, heating, electrical systems and plumbing. It describes itself as a "family owned and operated full-service shop" and says it offers "24-hour mobile truck & trailer emergency repair service," so a breakdown in the middle of the night is within what it covers, not just weekday jobs.

No trip fee or hourly rate is published on its site, so ask about both when you call, along with whether it will come to your campground, storage lot or driveway or whether you need to bring the rig in. Its posted shop hours are 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday, even though its emergency repair service is advertised as 24 hour, so it is worth asking directly how after-hours calls are handled and priced.

Its technicians are ASE Certified, which matters on a mixed fleet like RVs and buses that combine truck chassis work with coach systems. It also offers computer diagnostics and welding and fabricating, in shop or mobile, which covers more than routine repair if something structural or electrical needs tracking down.

Google rates it 4.7 stars from 110 reviews.

This is a good fit for an owner with a motorhome, luxury coach or bus who wants one shop that can handle both a roadside breakdown and a bigger repair back at its facility.
