Repair & Recovery
Machine Down? Two Ways To Fix It
Call a shop yourself out of the maintenance directory below, or post the job once on the repair board and let every shop that can reach you answer with a price and a day.
Option 01 · Call Them Yourself
The Directory Of Outfits Who Keep Iron Running
A phone book, not a board: mobile mechanics, hose trucks, saw shops, welders, tire crews, and undercarriage specialists. Filter by what broke, where you are, and whether they answer after dark — then call the ones you like. Nothing here needs an account.

Before You Call
Six Answers That Get The Right Truck Rolling
A mechanic loads parts off what you tell them on the phone. Have this ready and you pay for one trip instead of two.
- 01Make, model, serialOff the data plate, not off memory. Serial decides which parts book the mechanic pulls before rolling.
- 02What it did when it quitLost power under load, dropped the boom, wouldn’t crank, went to limp mode. Symptom order matters.
- 03Fault codes on the displayWrite them down exactly, including the letters. A code list saves an hour of hooking up and guessing.
- 04Fluids and hoursMachine hours, last service, and whether anything is low, milky, burnt, or on the ground under it.
- 05Getting a truck to itRoad conditions, gate combos, bridge weight limits, and whether a one-ton can reach the machine.
- 06Parts you already haveHose, filters, a spare pump on the shelf — say so. It changes what they load and what you pay.

Turn Wrenches For A Living? Get Listed
Mobile mechanics, hydraulic shops, welders, saw shops, tire crews, and undercarriage specialists get in front of loggers whose machine is down today. Say your travel radius and your after-hours policy in the listing and both show up as filters buyers can use.
