Freeway Mobile Truck & Trailer

Mobile mechanic · Etobicoke, Ontario

We come to the truck. Not the other way.

Freeway Mobile Truck & Trailer Repair is a fully equipped service unit based at 181 The West Mall. We work on the shoulder, in your yard, at the dock, or in the customer lot — diesel diagnostics, air brakes, tires, electrical, and MTO safety prep, without your tractor sitting in a shop queue for three days.

05 — Who you're calling

One truck, one number, no runaround

Freeway is a small mobile operation, not a shop with a service writer between you and the person holding the wrench. When you call, you're talking to the mechanic who's going to show up.

That's the whole point of a mobile unit. A tractor sitting in a dealer queue costs a carrier a driver's day and a load. We'd rather drive to the yard at 5 AM, do the job in the parking lot, and have the unit dispatched before the shop would have opened its doors.

We work on highway tractors, dry vans, reefers and flat decks — the everyday commercial equipment that keeps freight moving through the west end. Most of our calls come from drivers and dispatchers who've used us before, and from yards that got tired of waiting.

06 — Contact

Call the number

Phone is the only way in, and that's deliberate — a breakdown doesn't wait for an email. Have the unit number, the location and the symptom ready and we'll tell you what we think it is before we roll.
