Burton upon Trent sits on the River Trent where Staffordshire meets Derbyshire, and the vehicles that keep it running are an unusual mix. Brewing still shapes the place, with eight breweries in the town and the Marmite factory on Wellington Road, while Burton and nearby Fradley Park hold a significant number of warehouses thanks to their central position and transport links. Add the bus services running out to Derby, Uttoxeter, Lichfield and Tamworth, and a lot of commercial wheels turn here every day.
Trucktec Assist 24 looks after those vehicles from our workshop at Calke Mill Farm on Ashby Road, Melbourne, off junction 3 of the A50, one junction along from the stacked roundabout where the A38 from Burton meets it. For a vehicle that has stopped, we cover the A38 bypass from Branston up past Clay Mills, the A5121 through the middle of town, the A511 towards Leicester and the A444 for the M42 and Coventry. On the Trent, tell us whether you are on St Peter's Bridge, the old Burton bridge or out in Stapenhill, Winshill, Horninglow, Stretton or Shobnall.
We try to repair at the roadside first and recover only when a fix there isn't safe or possible. Servicing, PMI inspections, brake work, diagnostics, coach and minibus work, and curtain and welding repairs are booked into the Melbourne workshop, open for planned work Monday to Friday from 07:30 to 17:00. Breakdowns go to 01332 916028 at any hour, every day of the year.
