Fleet Maintenance & Repair That Keeps You Running
Honest fleet maintenance and repair across the I-55/I-80 corridor. Root-cause diagnostics, upfront pricing, certified diesel techs. Call J&A Fleet.
Every day a truck sits is a day it isn’t earning — and for a fleet, downtime doesn’t just cost the repair; it costs the load, the driver’s day, and sometimes the customer. J&A Fleet keeps small and midsize fleets moving across the I-80 and I-55 corridor with preventive maintenance that heads off breakdowns and repairs that get done right the first time. We’re not just a shop you call when something breaks. We’re built to be the partner that keeps things from breaking in the first place.
A FLEET PARTNER, NOT JUST A REPAIR BILL
Our founder, John Griffin, spent years in the fleet manager’s chair before he built J&A — so he knows what a unit down for an extra day actually does to a schedule and a budget. That’s why we work like a partner: we’ll review an outside estimate, flag a repair you don’t actually need, and tell you straight what’s worth doing and what can wait. The goal is to lower your cost of keeping trucks on the road over the long haul, not to run up an invoice today.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE THAT PAYS FOR ITSELF
The cheapest repair is the one you never have to make. We build preventive maintenance programs around your trucks, your routes, and your duty cycle — scheduled service that catches a worn part on the lift rather than on the shoulder. Regular PM protects your warranty, keeps you DOT-ready, and turns surprise breakdowns into planned shop visits you can schedule around your freight.

A FLEET PARTNER, NOT JUST A REPAIR BILL
Our founder spent years as a fleet manager. So we don’t just fix trucks — we help you make smarter calls. We’ll review an estimate, flag a repair you don’t actually need, and tell you straight what’s worth doing. That’s how you control costs over the long haul instead of bleeding them one invoice at a time.
PRICING YOU CAN SEE COMING
No surprises. You’ll hear our hourly rate, our minimum, and any surcharges — fuel, shop supplies — up front. Mobile road service is billed port to port: from the time we leave our shop to the time we get back, the industry standard for service calls. The price only changes if the job changes.
DONE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME
Certified techs trained on big rigs, root-cause diagnosis, and quality parts. A comeback costs you another truck down — so we fix it once, verify it, and put it back in service. That reliability is the whole reason fleets stay with us.
WHEN A TRUCK CAN’T ROLL
We don’t run recovery vehicles, but we work with a network of recovery partners and get the best rates. When one of your units can’t make it in, we line up the recovery and handle the repair once it’s here — one call, one point of contact, instead of you coordinating a recovery partner and a shop separately.
WHERE WE WORK
Fleet maintenance and repair across Joliet, Morris, Aurora, New Lenox, Rockdale, Gardner, and the surrounding I-80 / I-55 corridor, out of our Morris and New Lenox locations.
A FEW QUICK ANSWERS
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We’ll set up a preventive-maintenance program around your fleet.
What does “port to port” mean?
For mobile road service, we bill from when we leave our shop to when we return — the standard for service calls. You’ll know the rate before we roll.

Yes. We run mobile and on-site service so your driver stays with the load whenever the job allows.

What Customers Say
“Excellent service and very honest people. I came in with a driveshaft/carrier bearing issue causing vibration on my truck, and they stayed after hours to help me. Small family-owned shop with great courtesy, professionalism, and customer service. They explained the issue, showed me the work, and made sure everything was done properly. I’m very satisfied with the repair and thankful for their help. Highly recommend this shop for driveline and truck repairs.”

— Braden Munoz “John with J&A Fleet was awakened in the middle of the night. I waited less than 15 minutes for his arrival. He had me up and running within seconds. Showed me some unique tricks for future issues. You cannot go wrong with folks like John. Thank you so very much for making a difficult time seem so easy. Will not forget.”
