From Breakdown to Back on the Road.

At Superior Truck and Trailer Repair, we totally get it: nothing is more maddening than a diesel engine that just won't start during the freezing cold-it's generally not only one cause but many factors together battering you. At low temperatures, your battery's starting power is considerably reduced-by 60%-at the same time, your cold fuel and thickened oil are making it harder for the battery to operate and it requires more cranking amps. Our first step is a thorough diagnostic which includes checking battery condition, alternator output, glow plug operation, and fuel system pressure, and frequently finding that before your truck will safely start in these conditions, several components require attention.

Downtime is regarded as a very expensive cost to many companies, and that is the reason why we at Superior Truck and Trailer Repair have a fast response as our top priority. We try to reach you as fast as we can according to the traffic and the location. Our service area is large and includes a variety of Kentucky highways, truck routes, and places that are popular with the regional traffic. If you are not sure whether your breakdown location is included in our service area, just give us a call — we will tell you right away and if you are within the area, a technician will be sent to you.

The unmistakable "howl" or high-pitched whine that you are probably noticing from your truck during cold starts is very common and can be easily diagnosed here at Superior Truck and Trailer Repair. The noise is most likely caused by either the power steering pump that is working harder due to the thickened fluid or the variable valve timing system that is not functioning properly due to the cold temperatures. We will carry out a diagnostic check to determine the level and condition of your transmission fluid, and at the same time, inspect the power steering and engine management systems to make sure they are all working well within the manufacturer's specifications.

We are confident in every repair that we do and we are proud of it. We at Superior Truck and Trailer Repair provide a warranty for both the parts and labor; the duration of the warranty, however, is dependent on the specific components used. Prior to any repair being done, we will outline the specifics of the coverage and the duration so you can be sure that your repair is not only protected but also long-lasting.

Here at Superior Truck and Trailer Repair, we provide testing of both your block heater and antifreeze protection for the winter. The members of our expert team will initially check whether your block heater is properly powered and generating enough heat, and thereafter they will determine your coolant's freeze point by means of a digital refractometer ensuring that it provides protection down to at least -20°F. In case of any detected problems with either of the systems, we will transparently quote the necessary repairs to be done before the winter becomes too harsh and safeguard you from an expensive frozen engine repair or inadequate cold-weather preparation.
