When a lorry breaks down, a quick response is crucial to minimise downtime and avoid additional costs. Mobile TIR service is the ideal solution, allowing many faults to be repaired without having to tow the vehicle to a stationary workshop.

Mechanical repairs carried out on site

In the case of minor mechanical faults, mobile TIR service is able to deal with them on site without the need to visit a workshop. The most common repairs include replacing damaged parts of the drive system, such as V-belts, hoses or exhaust system components. Field mechanics have the appropriate equipment to perform quick and effective repairs, and in many cases they can also perform on-board computer diagnostics. Another group of repairs involves problems with brakes and suspension. If components such as brake lines or calipers are damaged, the mobile service can replace them on the spot. Removing such faults on the road avoids dangerous situations on the road and costly downtime at work.

Repairs related to vehicle electrical and electronic systems

The mobile TIR service also provides effective support in the event of a vehicle electrical system failure. Problems with the battery, alternator or lighting can be repaired on site. Replacing the battery or cables or quickly repairing the electrical system allows you to continue your journey without having to tow the lorry. The mobile service can also repair faults related to the vehicle’s electronics, including problems with sensors, system controllers or on-board computer failures. The specialised diagnostic equipment that service technicians have at their disposal allows them to precisely detect faults and repair them in the field.
