Commercial vehicle breakdowns and repairs in Derby

Breakdown help, recovery, servicing and repairs for HGVs, coaches, minibuses and vans working in and around Derby, from our workshop at Melbourne just south of the city.

Trucktec Assist 24 looks after the commercial vehicles that keep Derby moving: tractor units and rigids, trailers, coaches, minibuses, vans and light commercials, and specialist vehicles including emergency-service vehicles. Our workshop is at Calke Mill Farm, Ashby Road, Melbourne, and Melbourne is signed from the A50 at the same junction as Chellaston and Swarkestone.

Derby's freight runs on a dense web of roads. The A38 forms part of the outer ring road, with roundabouts at Kingsway, Markeaton and Little Eaton; the A50 Derby Southern Bypass runs below the city towards the M1; Brian Clough Way carries the A52 out to Nottingham; and the A6 and A61 run through as well. Breakdowns on any of them go to 01332 916028, answered day and night, all year. We try to repair the vehicle where it has stopped, and recover it when that isn't safe or possible.

For planned work, the workshop is open Monday to Friday, 07:30 to 17:00. Whether your yard is at Pride Park, in Sinfin, Spondon, Alvaston or Chaddesden, or out towards Mickleover, Littleover or Allestree, you can book servicing, PMI safety inspections, annual test preparation, brake testing, diagnostics, coach and minibus work and curtain and welding repairs. Many faults can be fixed by our mobile technicians where the vehicle is parked, and operators who want one team for everything can put the whole fleet on a maintenance contract.

Mobile commercial vehicle repairs in Derby

Mobile commercial vehicle repairs in Derby

Not every fault needs a trip to the workshop. Our technicians come to the vehicle, at the roadside, at your yard or on site, carrying the tools and common parts to put it right where it is, so your vehicle and driver lose as little of the day as possible.

Commercial vehicle servicing in Derby

Commercial vehicle servicing in Derby

Most breakdowns start as something a service would have caught. We service HGVs, trailers, coaches, minibuses and light commercials at our workshop in Melbourne, near Derby, on a schedule that brings vehicles off the road when it suits you rather than when they decide to stop.

PMI inspections & MOT prep in Derby

PMI inspections & MOT prep in Derby

Regular safety inspections keep vehicles roadworthy and keep operators on the right side of DVSA. We carry out PMI safety inspections and prepare vehicles for their annual test, so problems are found and fixed in the workshop rather than at the test centre or the roadside.

Brake testing & repairs in Derby

Brake testing & repairs in Derby

Brakes are the single most important safety system on a heavy vehicle, and one of the most common reasons for annual test failures and roadside prohibitions. We test, repair and maintain brakes on HGVs, trailers, coaches and light commercials, at the workshop and at the roadside.

Diagnostics & fault finding in Derby

Diagnostics & fault finding in Derby

A warning light tells you something is wrong, not what. We diagnose engine, air, brake and electrical faults on commercial vehicles at the roadside and in the workshop, so the repair fixes the actual cause the first time rather than replacing parts until the light goes out.

Fleet maintenance contracts in Derby

Fleet maintenance contracts in Derby

One team for your whole fleet: servicing, safety inspections, MOT preparation and breakdowns, planned and recorded so you can get on with running the operation. The technicians who maintain your vehicles are the same people who come out when one of them stops.

Coach & minibus repairs in Derby

Coach & minibus repairs in Derby

When a coach or minibus stops, it isn't just a vehicle off the road: it is passengers waiting and a schedule falling apart. We repair, service and inspect coaches and minibuses alongside HGVs, and our 24/7 line is there when one breaks down mid-journey.

Curtain repairs & welding in Derby

Curtain repairs & welding in Derby

A torn curtain, a broken buckle or a damaged body panel can stop a trailer being loaded and fail an inspection. We repair curtainside trailers and bodies and carry out welding repairs, so damaged equipment is back in service rather than parked up waiting.
