About Trucktec Assist 24

When a truck stops, everything behind it stops with it — the delivery, the driver's hours, the customer at the other end. Trucktec Assist 24 exists to make that stop as short as possible.

Who we are

We are a commercial vehicle recovery, roadside assistance and maintenance business based at Calk Mill Farm, Melbourne, just south of Derby. We work across the East Midlands and South Yorkshire, and travel further for recovery.

Our technicians go out fully equipped to fix the fault where it happened wherever we can, because a repair at the roadside beats a tow and a lost day every time. When recovery is the right call, we have the equipment for the heavier stuff too.

Emergency work and planned work, one team

Alongside the emergency side we look after the planned side: servicing, safety inspections, MOT preparation, brake testing and full fleet maintenance contracts.

It is the same team either way. The people who service your vehicles are the people who come out when one of them lets you down at two in the morning — which means that when they arrive, they already know the vehicle.

What we work on

HGVs, rigids and artics, trailers, vans and light commercials, coaches and minibuses, and specialist vehicles including emergency-service vehicles. If you are not sure whether something falls within our scope, ring and ask.

Where to find us

The workshop is at Calk Mill Farm, Ashby Road, Melbourne, Derby, DE73 8BJ, open Monday to Friday from 07:30 to 17:00. The emergency line on 01332 916028 is answered around the clock, in all weathers, every day of the year.

One call, one team, always here.

Why choose us

Repair first, tow second

Our technicians go out carrying the tools and the parts to fix the fault where the vehicle stands. A roadside repair gets the load moving the same day; a tow rarely does.

Equipped for heavy commercials

General recovery operators are set up for cars. Artics, rigids, loaded trailers and coaches need equipment rated for the weight and someone who has moved one before.

The same team, day and night

The technicians who service your fleet are the ones who come out when a vehicle stops. They know the history, so they are not meeting the vehicle for the first time on the hard shoulder.

Answered around the clock

01332 916028 is answered at three in the morning on a bank holiday exactly as it is at eleven on a Tuesday. Breakdowns do not keep office hours.

Planned work that prevents the unplanned

Servicing, safety inspections, MOT preparation and brake testing on one schedule, so vehicles come off the road when it suits you rather than when they decide to.

Straight answers

If a repair is a patch rather than a fix, or a fault cannot be confirmed, you are told that while the technician is still next to the vehicle — not afterwards.

Pulled in by a wrecker with a knackered clutch on my daf about 1130. The lads were on the job as soon as the part came in and had in finished and back on the road by 1715. Cracking job only wish you could give more than 5* Thanks Nick, Kaleb and Ben for getting me sorted and back on the road the same day 👍🏼

What we do

Everything you need, under one roof

24/7 emergency breakdown & recovery

24/7 emergency breakdown & recovery

A commercial vehicle stopped at the roadside costs money every minute it sits there. Our emergency line is answered around the clock, every day of the year, and we come out equipped to get you moving — repairing where the vehicle stands wherever that is safe and possible, and recovering with the right equipment when it isn't.

Mobile on-site repairs

Mobile on-site repairs

Most of what takes a commercial vehicle off the road can be put right where it is standing, by someone who arrived with the tools and the parts to do it. Our mobile technicians work at the roadside, in your yard and at your customer's premises — so the vehicle is back in service without a tow, a workshop slot or a wasted day.

Servicing & planned maintenance

Servicing & planned maintenance

Planned maintenance is the cheapest work we do, because it is the work that stops the expensive kind. Servicing to manufacturer guidelines, scheduled around your operation rather than ours, at our workshop just south of Derby — so vehicles come off the road when it suits you instead of when they decide to.

Safety inspections (PMI) & MOT preparation

Safety inspections (PMI) & MOT preparation

Preventative maintenance inspections on your schedule, and MOT preparation that means the vehicle presents properly first time. Inspections are the paperwork your operator licence rests on, so they need doing on time, doing thoroughly, and recording in a way that stands up to scrutiny.

Learn more
Brake testing & repairs

Brake testing & repairs

Brakes are the single most common reason a commercial vehicle fails an inspection, and one of the cheapest things to stay on top of. We test, diagnose and repair across commercial braking systems — on air and hydraulic systems, on tractors, rigids and trailers.

Learn more
Diagnostics & fault finding

Diagnostics & fault finding

A warning light is a symptom, not a diagnosis. We read the fault, work out what is actually causing it and tell you what needs doing — on site where we can, in the workshop where the job needs it. The point is to identify the problem properly rather than replace parts until the light goes out.

Learn more
Fleet maintenance contracts

Fleet maintenance contracts

One arrangement covering servicing, safety inspections, MOT preparation and priority breakdown cover across your whole fleet — with the paperwork kept straight and the downtime planned rather than suffered. Built around how your operation actually runs, not a package off a shelf.

Curtain repairs & welding

Curtain repairs & welding

Trailer curtain repairs and on-site welding — the practical jobs that quietly take a vehicle off the road if nobody deals with them. A torn curtain or a cracked bracket is not what most operators think of as a breakdown, right up until it is the reason a load cannot go.
