What are the advantages of calling a mobile truck service?

You don’t waste cash on towing

A tow in Germany will hit you for €300-€1,000, not counting the time you lose. We fix most issues right where the truck stopped. You only pay for the service call and the mechanic’s labor.

Quick parts delivery when you need it

You don’t need to look for a parts store in a foreign country. We keep the most common truck parts in stock (belts, airbags, filters, fittings). If something rare is needed, we find it and deliver it express.

Support during police and BAG inspections

If the road police (Polizei) or transport inspectors stop by, our mechanic will help communicate in German and confirm that the repair is already underway.

Transparent pricing for truck services — no hidden charges, no last-minute add-ons.

You get the call-out rate right over the phone. We lock in the labor cost before we start. Cards, cash, or bank transfer – whatever works for you.

Service anywhere in Europe

We cover Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria – and pretty much the rest of the EU.

Our Services

Truck breakdowns are common-especially during long-distance routes. Even on Germany's well-maintained highways, drivers often need roadside support: a blown tire, an electronic fault, or a transport inspection detecting a violation and issuing a stop order.

Computer diagnostics for trucks (LKW)

Dealer-level scanners for MAN, DAF, Volvo, Scania, Mercedes, Iveco, and Renault. We read and clear fault codes and perform component adaptations.

Mobile truck electrician

We track down wiring breaks, fix control modules, and replace starters and alternators. We restore lighting on both the trailer and the truck. We also install new 24V batteries.

Suspension and pneumatic system repair

Replacement of air springs, brake chambers, and leveling valves. Repair of air lines (Voss, Raufoss fittings). Replacement of hub bearings and complete hub assemblies.

Brake system repair

We free up and fix stuck calipers – Knorr-Bremse, Meritor, Wabco, Haldex. We swap brake chambers, rotors, and pads right where your truck is parked.

Emergency trailer repair

Maintenance of SAF, BPW, Schmitz, and Krone axles. Repair of sliding roofs, doors, landing legs, and lifting mechanisms.

Engine and fuel system repair

On-road diagnostics and repair of diesel truck engines. We fix issues with the fuel system, injectors, and high-pressure pumps. We work with MAN, DAF, Volvo, Scania, Mercedes, Renault, and Iveco.

Mobile tire service for trucks

We replace and repair truck and trailer tires right on the spot. We handle inflation, balancing, and mounting spare tires.

Engine and auxiliary components repair

Replacement of drive belts and tensioners. Fixing coolant and oil leaks, replacing hoses. Fuel filter replacement and fuel system bleeding when air is present.

Don’t jump straight to a tow! It might be a quick fix – a mobile tech can have you back on the road way faster.

When a mobile truck tech is the right call

Critical breakdowns on the road

Truck lost power, dropped on the airbags, or won't fire up after a break? We don't waste time guessing - we fix the problem right where you're parked.
We repair:
• Air system (air leaks, valves, airbags).
• Suspension & brakes (stuck calipers, hubs).
• Electrical issues (broken wiring, starters, alternators, ECU faults).

Accident recovery and repairs

Hit a guardrail or another trailer?
Damage often looks worse than it is — most issues can be repaired right on the spot without towing.
Our mobile mechanics will:

• Restore the lighting (headlights, tail lights).
• Secure loose bumpers and body parts.
• Repair damaged lines and pipelines.

Clearing stop orders from BAG or Polizei

Received a Weiterfahrverbot (driving prohibition) during an inspection?
German inspectors will not release a truck with worn tires, faulty AdBlue, a cracked wheel, or a torn curtain.

• We respond immediately and arrive at the inspection site.
• We fix all issues strictly according to the inspector’s protocol.
• We demonstrate the repaired condition to the officers so your documents are returned.

From real-world experience

A MAN TGX 18.440 working a steel coil delivery run in the Ruhr area began showing an AdBlue system warning with a countdown derate timer while making its way through Gelsenkirchen in North Rhine-Westphalia. The driver was at the end of a busy shift and the truck was threatening to reduce power within the next 60 kilometres. He pulled into a steel plant’s lorry holding area in Gelsenkirchen and called LKWHelp24 at 17:05. The Ruhr is one of the densest freight zones in Germany and our team covers Gelsenkirchen and the surrounding cities continuously. The mobile mechanic arrived at 17:52. Diagnostics showed a failed AdBlue dosing injector rather than a fluid quality issue. The injector was blocked and not delivering DEF fluid to the SCR catalyst, causing the system to flag a derate. The injector was removed, tested, and confirmed faulty. A replacement was fitted, the SCR system purged and re-primed, and a forced regeneration cycle run before the derate warning was cleared. The engine returned to full power output. The driver completed the remaining delivery to Essen and returned the truck to the Gelsenkirchen depot before end of shift, avoiding any overtime.
