What the job actually looks like.
Engines diagnosed at the roadside, tires changed where the vehicle stopped, fleet trucks kept moving, tractors and excavators repaired in the field. This is the range of machinery we are called out to across American Canyon and the counties around it.
Roadside work does not photograph itself. Most of it happens at night, on a shoulder, in a field or in somebody’s driveway, and the priority at the time is getting the vehicle going rather than documenting it.
So rather than dress the site up with staged photos, the images below are licensed pictures of the same kinds of vehicles and machinery we are called out to. They show the work honestly in terms of what it involves, and they are not presented as our own jobs.
Plainly stated: these are not photographs of Patrick, his truck or his customers’ vehicles. They are illustrative. If you want to know whether we have handled something like yours, the fastest answer is a phone call.
Engine and mechanical
The everyday half of the job: diagnosis, servicing and the repairs that keep a vehicle on the road rather than on a trailer.
Tires and roadside work
What most people call about first. Changed where the vehicle stopped, whether that is a driveway or a hard shoulder.
Trucks and fleet
Work trucks, freight and the vehicles businesses cannot leave sitting. Scheduled around dispatch wherever possible.
Farm and heavy equipment
Tractors, harvesters and excavators, seen in the field or on the site. Moving this machinery to a workshop is usually the expensive part, so we bring the workshop to it.
About the work
Short answers. The phone is faster if yours is not here.
Are these photographs of your own jobs?
No, and we would rather say so than let you assume otherwise. These are licensed images showing the kinds of vehicles and machinery we work on. The work itself happens at the roadside, in yards and in fields where nobody is standing by with a camera.
What sort of vehicles do you actually work on?
Cars and light trucks, work trucks and vans, trailers, class 8 rigs, farm machinery and heavy equipment. If it has an engine and it has stopped, it is worth a call.
Do you work on equipment in the field?
Yes, and it is a large part of the work. Tractors, harvesters and excavators get diagnosed where they stand, because loading a dead machine onto a trailer costs more than most repairs.
Can you do this at my yard rather than the roadside?
Yes. Scheduled work happens at homes, yards and jobsites all over the area, usually timed so a vehicle is not pulled out of service twice.
How quickly can somebody get out to me?
It depends where you are, and each town page gives the honest drive from American Canyon. You will get a real arrival window on the phone before we set out.
Is there a minimum charge to come out?
No hourly minimum and no call-out block. You pay for the work that gets done, at a price agreed before it starts.
Got something that has stopped working?
Describe it over the phone and you will get a straight answer about whether it is a roadside job, along with a price and an arrival window before anything is agreed.
