Heavy-Duty Truck Repair Built Around the Diagnosis
When a truck comes in pulling to one side, losing power, setting fault codes, failing a regen, shifting poorly, overheating, wearing tires unevenly, or showing brake, suspension, trailer, or electrical trouble, our first job is to find the cause. We inspect the truck, explain what we found, and review the repair plan and estimate before approved work begins.
At our semi truck and trailer repair shop in Matthews, we work on heavy-duty and Class 8 trucks, tractor-trailers, 18-wheelers, big rigs, and commercial trailers operating throughout the Charlotte area. The team handles engine repair, transmission repair, electrical troubleshooting, DPF and DEF diagnostics, brakes, suspension, tires, semi truck alignment, DOT inspections, welding, preventive maintenance, and trailer repairs.
We focus on useful answers, not guessing and replacing parts without a reason. Repair timing depends on the diagnosis, parts availability, and current shop load. Operators can also review official FMCSA safety resources. If the truck cannot safely reach us, ask about mobile truck repair and roadside dispatch. Mobile response is based on technician availability, and third-party towing can be arranged when the repair needs shop equipment or further inspection.

What drivers say about Truck Pit Stop
Recent 5-star Google reviews from our customers.
“He fixed the DEF problem on my Freightliner Cascadia and helped me get back on the road. As a trucking business owner, I know how much downtime can affect your livelihood... If you need someone to work on your Freightliner, I would absolutely recommend him.”
“I had my truck repaired here, and they got the job done quickly and professionally. The shop is clean and well organized, including the waiting area, which is very nice and comfortable... One of the best truck repair shops in the area!”
“Truck Pit Stop came out with their mobile service, checked the truck, and realized the warning was being caused by an electrical problem rather than a clogged filter or low diesel exhaust fluid... I appreciated that they diagnosed the real cause instead of automatically recommending a DPF cleaning or replacing expensive emissions parts.”
“Dima and Alex did tremendously job fixed my truck, that have few problems. Finished in few days. The dealer WOULD HAVE TAKEN few weeks. PRICE REASONABLE. Thank you GUYS. Great JOB”
