Mobile Diesel Mechanic in Old Forge, PA

Everything a fleet manager or owner-operator needs to know before booking a mobile diesel mechanic call in Old Forge.

What is mobile diesel mechanic, exactly?

Old Forge sits where I-476, I-81, and US-11 meet, which is why most breakdown calls here come off a highway rather than a side street. A truck stopped on one of those is a traffic problem before it is a repair problem, so the first thing our dispatcher asks is which road you are on and which way you are pointed.

The trucks that cover Old Forge also run Moosic, Duryea, Avoca, and Scranton, out to about 13 miles at Back Mountain. So a call from the edge of Lackawanna County reaches the same people as one from the middle of town, and you are not handed off to a different dispatcher because of a county line.

What sets Old Forge apart

Old Forge is a borough of 8,612 in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, inside the Scranton--Wilkes-Barre, PA Metro Area.

How to choose a rescuer

• Insurance current. GL, auto, workers comp.
• DOT-compliant if they're towing or running service trucks over CDL weight.
• 24/7 dispatch with a real human, not a callback queue.
• Transparent pricing, you should get a confirmed dispatch fee before the truck rolls.
• Local, a service truck 60 miles away isn't going to beat the regional benchmark.
