Waterman trucks serving the Springfield, Missouri area

Mobile diesel mechanic · Springfield, MO & beyond

We bring the shop to your truck

Most breakdowns don't need a tow — they need a mechanic with the right tools showing up where you're sitting. Roadside, at the shipper, or in your yard, 24 hours a day.

If it's got a diesel engine and it isn't moving, start with a phone call.

What we fix on the roadside

We run a fully equipped service truck, which means most of what a shop would do in a bay, we can do where you sit. Here's what we get called out for most.

No-Starts & Dead Batteries

Cranks but won't fire, or won't crank at all. We diagnose whether it's batteries, starter, charging, fuel, or something upstream.

Air System & Brake Issues

Air leaks, dragging brakes, and the kind of problems that shut you down before you can legally roll.

Blown Tires & Flats

Steer, drive, and trailer tires. Blowout replacement or repair, day or night.

Electrical & Diagnostics

Wiring, connections, sensors, and charging problems. We chase the actual cause instead of throwing parts at it.

Mobile Welding

Broken brackets, mounts, steps, and frame repairs handled on the spot with the welder on board.

General Diesel Repair

Belts, hoses, lines, filters, sensors, and the everyday failures that put a truck on the shoulder.

We don't do wheel alignments or body and trim work. Anything else, call and ask — we'll tell you straight whether it's something we can handle on-site.

You Get Back on the Road

Most calls get handled right there without a tow.

A tow and a shop bay is the expensive way

When a truck goes down, the tow bill is only the start. You're paying to move it, then waiting on a shop that's booked out, then paying shop rate once it finally gets a bay. Meanwhile the load isn't moving. A mobile call skips most of that. If the repair can be made where the truck sits, it usually gets made the same day — and you're rolling again instead of sitting in somebody's parking lot waiting for a callback.

Running more than one truck?

Downtime is the expensive part of a fleet. We handle preventive maintenance and repair work on-site at your yard, scheduled around your runs instead of parking a truck for a day. Call and we'll talk through what your rotation looks like.
