“Fifteen minutes from 'my truck won't start' to a mechanic dispatched — that's the number we hold ourselves to in St. Louis. The shops winning this award are the reason that number keeps dropping.”
“When I put a St. Louis job out, offers come back before I've finished the driver's paperwork. Air line burst on the Poplar Street Bridge approach? Somebody's rolling in minutes.”
Fixed roadside, not towed
What mobile mechanics actually fix at the truck
Most breakdowns never need a tow. These are the jobs RIG dispatches every day in St. Louis and across the network — on semis and trailers, motor coaches, RVs, box trucks, and heavy equipment — handled on the shoulder, at the truck stop, or in the receiver's lot:
Tires & wheels
Blowouts, roadside tire changes, wheel seals, hub and bearing repairs — the #1 call we dispatch.
Air system & brakes
Blown air lines and glad hands, leaking brake chambers, air bags, slack adjusters, ABS faults.
Electrical & no-starts
Dead batteries and jump starts, starters, alternators, wiring shorts, marker and headlight fixes.
Cooling system
Coolant leaks, radiator and water pump swaps, blown hoses, antifreeze top-offs before damage is done.
Aftertreatment & derates
Forced DPF regens, DEF system faults, EGR issues, limp-mode derates cleared at the truck.
Driveline & engine
Belts, fuel filters and injectors, turbos, clutches — plus reefer units, liftgates and landing gear on the trailer.
