Our ASE-certified technicians bring decades of combined experience working on all major truck brands including Freightliner, Peterbilt, Kenworth, International, Volvo, Mack, and more.
Engine Diagnostics & Repair
Modern diesel engines require sophisticated diagnostic equipment and deep technical knowledge. Our mobile service trucks carry professional-grade scan tools that read fault codes, analyze performance data, and pinpoint issues quickly. From loss of power and excessive smoke to poor fuel economy and check engine lights — we diagnose the root cause and provide lasting repairs. Our diesel engine services cover everything from fuel system repairs and turbocharger replacement to EGR valve cleaning and injector replacement.
Brake Repair & Service
Brake safety is non-negotiable in commercial trucking. Our comprehensive brake service addresses all components of your truck's braking system. We replace brake shoes and pads, resurface drums and rotors, rebuild brake chambers, and service air brake systems. Our technicians also handle ABS diagnostics and repairs, ensuring your truck meets DOT safety standards while delivering reliable stopping power under all conditions.
Transmission Service & Repair
Transmission problems can sideline your truck for days if not addressed properly. HTTRC technicians diagnose and repair both manual and automatic transmissions, including Eaton Fuller, Allison, and other commercial transmission systems. We handle everything from minor adjustments and fluid services to major overhauls and clutch replacements. When transmission issues arise in the Burlington area, our mobile service can often diagnose the problem on-site and determine whether field repairs are possible or if the unit needs shop-level service.
DPF & Aftertreatment Systems
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and aftertreatment system issues are among the most common problems facing modern trucks. Our technicians are experts in DPF cleaning, forced regeneration, and complete aftertreatment system repairs. We service diesel oxidation catalysts (DOC), selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems, and DEF injection components. When your truck goes into derate or limp mode due to emissions system problems, HTTRC can often restore full power and performance right at your Burlington location.
Electrical System Diagnostics
Today's trucks are rolling computers with complex electrical systems controlling everything from engine performance to driver comfort features. Our electrical diagnostics identify problems with alternators, starters, batteries, wiring harnesses, and electronic control modules. We repair charging system failures, diagnose parasitic battery drains, and troubleshoot sensor networks. For fleets operating in Burlington, we also handle electronic logging device (ELD) installations and diagnostics.
Cooling System Service
Overheating can cause catastrophic engine damage, making cooling system maintenance critical. We service radiators, replace water pumps, repair coolant leaks, and diagnose thermostat failures. Our mobile service includes pressure testing to identify hidden leaks and professional-grade coolant system flushes to prevent corrosion and scale buildup.
Exhaust System Repair
From turbochargers to tail pipes, HTTRC handles all exhaust system repairs. We fix exhaust leaks, replace damaged mufflers and pipes, and repair mounting systems. Exhaust leaks not only fail emissions tests but can also allow dangerous fumes into the cab, making prompt repairs essential for driver safety.
Trailer Repair & Maintenance Services in Burlington
Your trailer is just as important as your tractor when it comes to keeping freight moving. HTTRC provides comprehensive trailer repair services for all types operating in the Burlington area. Our mobile service means we come to you, whether your trailer is loaded at a customer site, parked at your fleet yard, or stranded on a county road.
🛑 Brake Systems
We handle brake system repairs and adjustments on all trailer types, ensuring proper brake timing and safe stopping power. Air brake components, spring brakes, and brake chambers are replaced or rebuilt as needed. Our technicians also service ABS systems and diagnose electrical problems affecting trailer brake lights and turn signals.
💡 Lighting & Electrical
Trailer lighting is critical for safety and DOT compliance. We repair and replace marker lights, brake lights, and turn signals.

For trailers serving Burlington's manufacturing and industrial operations, we provide reefer unit diagnostics and basic repairs to get temperature-sensitive loads back on track quickly.
⚙️ Landing Gear & Doors
Landing gear failures can immobilize a trailer and delay critical shipments. We repair and replace landing gear assemblies, service the crank mechanisms, and ensure smooth operation. Door and latch repairs keep cargo secure, while floor and sidewall damage is assessed and temporary repairs are made when possible to keep trailers in service while permanent repairs are scheduled.

Fleet Maintenance for Burlington Businesses
Burlington's growing industrial base relies on commercial vehicles to move products and materials throughout Kane County and beyond. HTTRC understands that fleet downtime directly impacts your bottom line. Our fleet maintenance programs are designed to prevent breakdowns before they happen while providing priority service when unexpected repairs are needed.
We work with businesses of all sizes in Burlington — from small operations with 2-3 trucks to larger fleets serving the manufacturing sector. Companies operating near Veejay Plastic, within the 300-acre industrial development zone, and along the Plank Road corridor trust HTTRC to keep their fleet vehicles running reliably. Our preventative maintenance programs are customized to your fleet's specific needs and operating conditions.
Mobile PM inspections at your facility, minimizing operational disruption with detailed reports
Fleet customers get priority scheduling with 25 minute response to Burlington locations
Thorough DOT inspections keeping your fleet compliant and avoiding costly violations
Detailed service records for each vehicle, maintenance tracking, and compliance reporting
Scheduled Maintenance Services
Regular maintenance intervals are the foundation of fleet reliability. Our mobile service brings PM inspections directly to your Burlington facility, minimizing disruption to your operations. We perform oil changes, filter replacements, fluid services, and complete safety inspections according to manufacturer recommendations or your custom schedule. Every service includes a detailed inspection report identifying potential issues before they become roadside emergencies.
Priority Emergency Response
Fleet customers receive priority scheduling for emergency repairs. When one of your trucks breaks down, you get bumped to the front of our service queue. Our 25 minute response time to Burlington locations means your driver isn't waiting by the roadside for hours. We understand that every hour a truck sits idle represents lost revenue and potential customer service issues.
DOT Inspections & Compliance
Keeping your fleet DOT-compliant protects your business from costly fines and out-of-service orders. HTTRC performs thorough DOT safety inspections covering all safety-critical systems. We identify and repair violations before they result in roadside inspection failures. Our technicians stay current on DOT regulations and help fleet managers maintain compliance documentation.
Fleet Repair Documentation
Every repair and maintenance service is documented in detail. You receive comprehensive service records for each vehicle, making it easy to track maintenance history, schedule future service, and demonstrate compliance during audits. This documentation also helps with vehicle resale value by showing potential buyers that your trucks have been properly maintained.
The mobile advantage is especially valuable for fleet operations. Instead of pulling vehicles out of service to visit a repair shop, we bring the shop to you. This means vehicles can be serviced overnight or during scheduled downtime, keeping your fleet productive during peak business hours. For Burlington companies operating along the Plank Road corridor or near the industrial development zone, this on-site service model saves significant time and reduces operational disruption.
Our Mobile Service Advantage in Burlington
Traditional truck repair requires towing your disabled vehicle to a shop, waiting in line for service, and arranging transportation back to pick it up. HTTRC's mobile model eliminates these hassles and expenses. We bring professional truck repair directly to your location in Burlington, whether that's a customer loading dock, your company parking lot, or the side of Plank Road.
No Tow Truck Fees
Towing a Class 8 truck can easily cost $500-$1,500 or more, depending on distance and circumstances. Our mobile service typically costs less than a tow, and you get the repair done immediately instead of just moving the truck to a shop where it will sit waiting for service. For breakdowns on I-90 or county roads near Burlington, eliminating the tow saves both time and money.
Faster Service
From our Elgin base, we reach Burlington in 25 minutes. Once on-site, we start diagnostics immediately rather than waiting for a tow truck and then waiting again at a shop. Many common repairs can be completed in 1-3 hours, getting you back on the road the same day. This speed is crucial for time-sensitive deliveries and maintaining customer commitments.
Professional Equipment
Our service trucks aren't just emergency vehicles — they're fully equipped mobile repair shops. We carry professional diagnostic computers compatible with all major truck brands, specialized tools for diesel engine work, welding equipment, and an extensive parts inventory. This means we can handle complex repairs on-site rather than simply diagnosing problems.
Minimal Business Disruption
When repairs happen at your Burlington business location, your driver stays with the vehicle and can get back to work immediately when service is complete. No arranging rides to repair shops, no leaving vehicles unattended, no coordinating pick-up times. This convenience is especially valuable for single-truck operations where the driver is also the owner.
Transparent Service
Mobile service means you or your driver can watch the work being done and ask questions in real-time. There's no wondering what's really happening to your truck while it's behind closed shop doors. Our technicians explain problems clearly, show you failed parts, and discuss repair options before proceeding with work. This transparency builds trust and helps you make informed decisions about your vehicle maintenance.
90-Day Parts & Labor Warranty
All repairs come with our comprehensive 90-day warranty covering parts and labor. We stand behind our work whether it's done in a traditional shop setting or at the side of the road. This warranty gives you peace of mind that if an issue recurs, we'll make it right at no additional cost.

Plank Road Corridor

Our mobile service covers the entire Plank Road corridor, responding quickly to breakdowns that could disrupt this busy route and delay commercial deliveries.
Industrial Development Zone
Burlington has identified over 300 acres for industrial, manufacturing, office, and business park development. As this zone continues to grow, so does the demand for reliable truck service. HTTRC technicians are familiar with the industrial areas throughout Burlington and can navigate to specific facilities quickly when emergency repairs are needed. We support the growing manufacturing base with both emergency service and scheduled fleet maintenance.
Crossroads Community Hub
Burlington sits at the intersection of several key county routes — Plank Road, Peplow Road, French Road, and Burlington Road. This crossroads position makes it a natural waypoint for commercial traffic moving through western Kane County. Trucks traveling between I-90 and communities to the south pass through Burlington regularly. Our mobile service provides quick assistance to vehicles experiencing problems at this rural crossroads, often getting trucks operational before they create delays for other traffic.
Reliable Service for Rural Kane County
