Mobile diesel repair, on the shoulder or in your yard
Not every breakdown needs a tow. A lot of what stops a truck can be fixed where it sits. Call, describe what the truck is doing, and dispatch will tell you whether it's a road call or a shop job.
What we fix
These are the repairs Brown's handles. Some can be done where the truck sits and some have to come to the shop. Describe what the truck is doing and dispatch will tell you which.
Repairs we handle
- Electrical: no crank, no start, dead batteries, charging problems
- Air and brake systems: won't build air, leaks, a brake that won't release
- Fuel: out of fuel, air in the system, filters
- Belts and hoses
- Lights
- DEF and derate issues
What has to come to the shop
Some jobs can't be done on the shoulder. When a road call turns out to be a shop job, the same crew can tow it in.
Tires on the road
Blown tire? Road service comes to you, and the shop sells new and used semi tires.
Fuel delivery, jump starts and lockouts
Out of fuel, dead batteries, or locked out: the most common calls, and often the quickest to fix.
What we offer
- Fuel delivery
- Jump starts and pull starts
- Lockouts
Coverage

Questions drivers ask
What should I tell dispatch about the problem?
What the truck does and doesn't do. "Cranks but won't start" and "won't crank at all" point at different things. Say what you saw and heard, what the dash is showing, and whether it happened suddenly or built up. Dispatch will ask the rest.
How do I describe where I am on I-75?
Direction of travel and the last exit or mile marker you passed. On I-75 in Georgia the exit numbers match the mile markers, so the last exit puts you within a mile.
What if it turns out to be a shop job?
The same crew can tow the truck to the shop on Highway 41 in Tunnel Hill.
Do you come out at night?
Yes. Towing and roadside service run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, on the same number. After hours, Chris answers the phone.
Day or night, one number.
Tell dispatch: interstate and direction, last exit or mile marker you passed, what you're driving, what happened.
