Mobile Truck Repair vs. Towing: Which Saves You More in Southern Colorado?
When your truck breaks down on the road, you have two options: call for mobile repair or get towed to a shop. While both can get you back in business, they’re not equal in cost, time, or convenience.
At CCC Repair and Trucking, we specialize in 24/7 mobile truck repair throughout Trinidad and the surrounding areas. Before you pay for a tow, here's why mobile service often makes more sense—both for your schedule and your wallet.
What Is Mobile Truck Repair?
Mobile truck repair means our technicians come to your location—whether that’s roadside, a lot, or a job site. Our mobile units are equipped with diagnostic tools, replacement parts, and everything needed to fix most problems on-site.
What Are the Costs of Towing?
Towing a heavy-duty diesel truck can cost anywhere from $300 to $1,000+, depending on:
- Distance to the nearest shop
- Weight of your vehicle
- After-hours service fees
And that’s before any actual repair work begins.
Mobile Repair vs. Towing: Cost Comparison
Service Type | Avg. Initial Cost | Time Lost | Repair Delays |
---|---|---|---|
Towing + In-Shop Repair | $500–$1,500+ | 2–5 hours | High (dependent on shop queue) |
Mobile Truck Repair (CCC) | $150–$450 | <1 hour | Low (repairs start on-site) |
In most cases, mobile truck repair costs significantly less and gets you back on the road faster.
When Mobile Repair Makes the Most Sense
Mobile repair is ideal for:
- Tire blowouts
- Battery issues
- Fault code diagnostics
- Electrical failures
- Brake line leaks
- Minor coolant or air leaks
These are the same problems CCC fixes weekly—on-site, without the added hassle of towing.
When Towing May Still Be Required
Towing is still necessary for:
- Major engine rebuilds
- Transmission failure
- Complete axle or frame damage
- Collision recovery
If this is the case, CCC will advise and help coordinate a tow to our shop.
