A breakdown on the shoulder is one of the worst positions a driver can be in: exposed to traffic, losing time, and unsure how long help will take. TBC Truck, Trailer Repair & Diesel Performance provides mobile roadside assistance for trucks and trailers across Independence, MO, and the greater Kansas City area, day or night, every day of the year.
Not every breakdown needs a tow. Our mobile units are equipped to handle diagnostics, minor engine and drivetrain issues, air line and brake repairs, battery and electrical problems, and trailer-related failures right where you’re stopped. If the repair genuinely needs the shop, we tell you honestly instead of running up a roadside bill on something that should be towed in.
When you call, we want to know where you are, what the truck is doing, and how urgent the situation is; then we get a tech moving. We give you a realistic timeframe instead of a vague “on our way,” so you can plan around us instead of just waiting and wondering.
Roadside issues aren’t limited to the tractor. We handle trailer brake failures, lighting and electrical problems, and structural issues that happen mid-route. For fleets, we coordinate directly with dispatch or the fleet manager so the right information gets to us fast and the driver isn’t stuck relaying details back and forth.
If you’re pulled over waiting on us, get as far off the traffic lane as safely possible, turn on your hazards, and set out reflective triangles if you have them. Stay in the truck unless it’s unsafe to do so, and keep your phone on you so we can reach you as soon as the tech is close.
We handle diagnostics, minor mechanical and electrical repairs, battery issues, and trailer related problems on site. If the truck needs shop level repair, we tell you upfront rather than attempting something roadside that won’t hold.
Cost depends on the issue and the time of day, since after hours and overnight calls typically run higher than daytime service. We give you a clear idea of cost before starting work whenever the situation allows for it.
Response time depends on your location within our service area and current call volume. We give you a realistic estimate when you call rather than a vague promise, so you know what to expect.
Yes. Trailer brake failures, lighting issues, and other trailer related breakdowns are a regular part of what we handle on site.
Get off the travel lane if it’s safe to do so, turn on your hazards, set out triangles if you have them, and stay in the vehicle unless staying inside is unsafe. Keep your phone accessible so we can reach you as the tech gets close.
Yes. We coordinate with fleet managers and dispatch teams to get accurate location and truck information quickly, so the driver isn’t stuck managing the call alone.
