MDJ & Son'sTRUCK & TRAILER REPAIR

Services

Two ways to get work done: the service truck comes to you inside a 75-mile radius of Port Arthur, or the truck comes to our bays on FM 365. Most calls start on the phone with a straight answer about which one your problem needs.

What we send elsewhere

A shop that claims everything is a shop that does some of it badly. These are the jobs we do not take, and we would rather tell you now than halfway through. Ask when you call and we will point you at somebody who does them for a living.

  • Engine rebuilds and in-frame engine work
  • Open-ended electrical chases through damaged or heavily modified wiring — we will check it and tell you early if it is a hunt rather than a fix
  • Transmission rebuilds — we diagnose and do R&R, the internals go to a builder
  • Wheel alignment — no rack here, so we sublet it or point you to a shop that has one
  • Mobile DOT inspections — inspections are shop-only
  • RVs, travel trailers, boat trailers, and buses

Questions we get

What is mobile and what has to come to the shop?

Diagnostics, electrical, air systems, brakes, starters and alternators, tires, and fuel delivery go mobile. Clutch, driveline, fifth wheel and king pin, DPF cleaning, welding, and DOT inspections are shop work — they need a bay and a lift to be done once instead of twice.

What makes do you work on?

All the major ones. Our scanner covers every major make, and the shop has thirty-plus years of mechanic experience behind it.

Do you publish prices?

Not on this site. Send the truck details and what it is doing and Marcus will come back with a quote — that is more useful than a number that does not know your truck.
