A & A Truck & Trailer Repair

A & A Truck & Trailer Repair is a truck and trailer shop based at 4535 NW 1st St in Des Moines, Iowa. It calls itself "family owned and operated," and it works both ways. It comes to you for roadside repairs and towing, and you can also bring the rig to its shop.

Its main trade is semi trucks and trailers. Its service list includes flatbed, dump, lowboy and drop deck trailers, buses, and "RVs and Motorhomes," which is one line among many. It names brake work, engines, transmissions, axles, diesel exhaust fluid systems, computer diagnostics and welding. It publishes no RV-specific details, so confirm what it will work on in your motorhome before you book.

Its roadside service is offered as "24-hour roadside assistance and towing services," and it describes its area as "Serving Des Moines plus a 100 mile radius." It lists its hours as "24-Hour Maintenance." It does not publish a trip fee, an hourly rate or a diagnostic fee. When you call, ask about the trip fee and whether it will come to where your rig is parked.

It says its "certified technicians and roadside mechanics are fully trained," but it names no certification program. A certification name tells you what training to expect. It has been in operation for 50+ years, and it publishes no licensing or insurance statement. One reviewer describes a tech who came out in the middle of the night and reached a truck in about an hour.

This is a good fit for an RV owner near Des Moines whose rig breaks down at any hour and needs roadside help or towing. Ask about RV work before booking anything beyond that.
