Manhattan is deep in Will County freight traffic. Trucks on the US-52 corridor need a repair partner close by — one who shows up with the right tools and quotes the rate before starting.
J&A Fleet Maintenance provides mobile diesel repair and emergency roadside service in Manhattan and the surrounding Will County. When your truck can’t move, we come to you — roadside, yard, or dock — with a quoted rate and a certified tech.
Manhattan fleets also fall inside our Elwood and Frankfort coverage, dispatched from our New Lenox shop for the US-52 corridor running through southern Will County.
Our Core Services
- Diesel & Engine Repair – Root-cause diagnostics and repair for all Class 6–8 diesel engines — no guesswork, no unnecessary parts.
- Semi-Truck Roadside Assistance – 24/7 mobile dispatch across northeastern Illinois — certified techs come to your truck, not the other way around.
- Air Brake Repair – Chambers, valves, compressors, and frozen lines — complete air brake system service and DOT compliance.
- Electrical & Alternator – Advanced diagnostics trace electrical faults to the source — wiring, batteries, alternators, and charging systems.
- Cooling, Radiator & A/C – Radiator, coolant system, and cab A/C repair — keeping engines and drivers running at the right temperature.
- Transmission Repair – Automatic and manual transmissions, differentials, and clutches — diagnosed before a single part is ordered.
- Welding & Fabrication – Certified welders for frame repair, trailer structural work, and custom fabrication — shop or roadside.
Pricing — Same Rate Whether You’re Stranded or Not
J&A Fleet quotes our hourly rate, minimum, and any surcharges before we dispatch. The price doesn’t change because you’re stranded. Overcharging a customer in a tough spot is something you’ll never experience with J&A Fleet.
Shop Work — New Lenox shops
For repairs requiring a full shop facility — transmission rebuild, major engine work, welding and fabrication, DOT inspections — our New Lenox shop handles the work. We coordinate transport if needed.
Fleet Maintenance Programs in Manhattan
Running a fleet through the Manhattan / US-52 corridor? Ask about our mobile maintenance program. We come to your yard on a schedule, keep your units DOT-compliant, and reduce the unplanned downtime that eats into margins.
We’re not just turning wrenches in Manhattan — we’re a fleet partner. Ask about the mobile maintenance program if your units run this corridor regularly; it’s built to cut downtime and control costs, not just hand you an invoice.
Most calls into our Manhattan coverage area break down into a handful of repeat problems: a dead alternator or a parasitic draw that leaves a truck no-start at a dock, a low-air buzzer tripping on the shoulder, or a coolant leak that turns into an overheat call in stop-and-go traffic. Whatever brings a Will County fleet to a stop, the process is the same — diagnose to the root, quote the rate, fix it once. Our mobile techs carry the diagnostic tools and common parts to close out most of these calls on the first visit, instead of sending a driver back out for a second trip.
Whether it’s an emergency call or a routine visit, a stop in Manhattan is also a chance to catch what a driver hasn’t noticed yet — worn linings, a slow air leak, a marker light that’s about to fail an inspection. Our techs flag it instead of just fixing what you called about. For fleets running Will County on a repeat basis, a standing maintenance schedule usually costs less over a year than a string of one-off roadside calls billed separately, one truck at a time.
