They can handle the truck. The body equipment on the back — the hooklift, the hoist, the hydraulics — is a different story. Most shops only see it after something's already broken, and by then you're stuck waiting on someone who's guessing their way through it.
We built this equipment. We know it inside and out. And we've got a full-service shop in Rosebush for the jobs that need it — but for most repairs, scheduled inspections, and DOT compliance, we come to you. Small issues get caught and fixed before they turn into major downtime.


Need it fixed now? Our mobile service truck comes to you for hydraulic, hoist, PTO, and electrical repairs — no waiting on a shop bay or having to send two people to drop off a truck to the shop.

Scheduled inspections that catch wear and damage before it becomes a breakdown. Built for fleets who can't afford unplanned downtime.

Certified annual DOT inspections, pre purchase inspections and safety inspections, done on-site. No shop trip, no truck or trailer out of service for a day.
We handle the repairs that keep your truck body equipment running, dispatched directly to your yard or jobsite:
Service area: We serve all of mid-Michigan, with expanded coverage into Lansing, Flint, and Grand Rapids
Response time: 24–48 hours for new requests
Some repairs need shop equipment we can't bring to the field — frame work, paint, and major fabrication still come back to Rosebush. Our team will tell you straight if that's the case before you're waiting on a truck that isn't coming.
Pricing: Within a 50 mile radius of Rosebush we charge a flat $200 per hour port to port. Outside of 50 miles please call for a quote specific to your location and equipment.


Most truck repair shops never touch your body equipment — hooklifts, dump hoists, cylinders, mounts — until something breaks. By then you're looking at a tow, a rush repair, and a truck out of service for days. The Body Care Plan puts eyes on that equipment on a schedule, so wear gets caught and fixed while it's still a small job.
Every visit ends with a written inspection report — what we found, what needs fixed, and what to watch. No surprises, and a paper trail for your maintenance records.

Annual DOT inspections are required on every commercial truck (49 CFR 396.17) — but that doesn't mean you need to lose a day sending it to a shop. Our certified inspector comes to you and completes the full inspection on-site.
Buying a used work truck, dump body, hooklift, or trailer sight-unseen is a gamble — and when that equipment needs to earn its keep on a job site five days a week, you can't afford a bad bet. Before you hand over a check, let our team put eyes and hands on it. We know what fails, what wears out, and what's a red flag versus what's normal wear. A Pre-Purchase Inspection puts that experience to work for you, whether you're buying from a dealer, an auction, or a private seller.
After the inspection, you'll receive a straightforward, written report — no jargon, no sugarcoating. We'll tell you what's solid, what needs attention now, what'll need attention down the road, and give you an honest read on whether the asking price matches the condition. If we find something that changes the deal, we'll tell you before you're committed.

We'll tell you upfront. Frame work, paint, and major fabrication still need a shop visit — but hydraulic, hoist, PTO, cable/roller, and electrical repairs are typically handled on-site.
