Pricing questions
- How much does a mobile truck mechanic charge per hour?
- Titan mobile semi and trailer repair labor is $225 per hour on scene, with a 1-hour minimum. Parts and tires are billed at delivered cost. Fleet accounts get contracted rates.
- Is mobile semi repair cheaper than towing to a shop?
- Usually yes. A fixable roadside issue (air leak, light, glad hand, single tire) is often a 1–2 hour repair at $225/hr plus parts — well under a heavy tow. We tell you honestly which path is cheaper when you call.
- Do you carry parts on the truck?

- Can you clear a DOT out-of-service item at the scale?

- Do you charge extra at night or on weekends?
- No. Our $225/hour labor rate does not change by hour of day, day of week, or holiday. Extra cost only comes from actual labor performed and parts used.
- Do you accept fleet accounts and PO billing?
- Yes. Fleets get priority dispatch, PO-based invoicing, and consistent contracted rates across the metro.
