A friend told us about this site:
http://truckdown.com/

The sad part is we got to try it out! We were in Richmond KY and while Bob was greasing the truck he found we had a wheel seal leaking. After we got unloaded we used truckdown to find a really great local shop that was able to replace our wheel seal at a very reasonable price.

You just put in the zip code of where you are located and up pops a list of shops.

Very handy site to have.

Here I go, pulling up another old thread. One of my friends needed some mechanically creative work done on her truck and asked me for advice. This was Saturday, in Buffalo, limiting her options. I told her I'd go to my mechanic, Akron Semi Truck & Trailer Repair ( no acronym for them :D), 330-253-1560.
The good news was they got her in first thing this morning. As she explained her problem, all she heard was "we can do that" and they did. She was out of there this afternoon. She'd been expecting a minimum of $700 bill and almost fell over when they said $225. When she questioned the bill the answer she got was, "we only charge for what we do".
I've been a fan of these guys for awhile and thought I should share. Just make sure that when I get there with my list I don't have to wait. :p

Which is the correct post? In the case of Akron Semi Truck and Trailer, I started going there 5 years ago when I drove for a fleet owner at Panther and they were his mechanics. When I purchased my own truck I didn't have to wonder where to take her for good, dependable care. I wouldn't post about them on the strength of one experience.

Wonder if Guido's other name is Sybil? Looks like 2 different people posting opposite experiences, eh? :confused:
For anyone who hasn't had the good luck to meet Gotta Go/Jeanie, I can say that she is solid gold, and we are lucky that she's (finally!) sharing her wealth of info with us here. Whether it's a truck wreck, a pet emergency, or just an 'oops', Jeanie is someone you want nearby, if possible. (And you'll know if she is, because her truck is one of a kind, lol ) :D

Absolutely, lol. And the info on Akron T&T Repair was timely: I need to be home by Friday, and will give them a call to see if they can find the electrical glitch that's driving me nuts (and leaving me powerless, most of the time).

I am not a trucker but have had bad dealings with superior truck service and his shop B&A automotive. It appears that he provides top notch service to some of his customers but others just takes the money and runs. The guy is bad news. I am a young entrepreneur, 18 year old college student, who lettered his truck and shop just to wind up in court suing him for what he owes me. During my ongoing lawsuit I have found many other people that he has taken advantage of. I have made pretty good friends with a guy that superior truck service took off with over $3000 and left him stranded on the side of the road. If you have questions about my experience, I'd love to elaborate.

STAY AWAY FROM SUPERIOR TRUCK SERVICE AKA "SUPERIOR TRUCK AND TRAILER SERVICE". They owe me money and I have found many others that he has left dead on the road and take off with their money!!!! He is now working the south side of indianapolis. his shop is right on 465 at the old marine place.

Thanks for sharing those, yes they are keepers. Truckdown and NTTS are both good.

Most people also don't know that the Ryder Rental shops do outside work and carry a good sized inventory on Sprinter parts. Most people don't even think about them.
