5.0 out of 5 from 34 reviews on Google.
Yesterday 10/5/26 needed a Jumpstart on my semi. Called around and got the run around. I'm a trucker familiar with the area yet not familiar with the services. Called the Ace! Rickey by chance nonetheless and my man's pulled up on me in 30 of em (meaning time 30minutes) I also need to point out Rickey was in forest city A.R. and I was in Brinkley A.R. enough of me babbling though I'll say this and leave it be. When in doubt give Rickey a shout and he'll show up and show out! And won't depart until your vehicle starts. Easy on the pockets and he won't be forgotten! At any rate I suggest you holla at Rickey Alexander a man of compassion and character. Thanks again!
Exceptional service. Called and wait time was fast. Affordable rates and knowledgeable

About Emergency Roadside Repair
Common questions and tips from our work with Forrest City customers.
What signs mean I need emergency roadside repair?
Pull over and call if you lose air pressure, see steam or a temperature spike, smell burning, lose lights or gauges, or hear grinding or clunking that gets louder. A truck that will not build air above 90 PSI is not safe to drive. The sooner you stop, the more likely the fix is a roadside repair instead of a tow and a major rebuild.
When is a breakdown too big for a roadside fix?
Some jobs cannot be done on the shoulder. Internal engine damage, a blown transmission, or a cracked axle housing needs shop work or a tow. What we can do roadside is fix air leaks, electrical faults, belts, hoses, and tire issues, then tell you straight whether the truck is safe to roll or needs a haul to a shop.
How fast can you reach a breakdown on I-40?
Response time depends on your exact spot and traffic, but we work out of Forrest City on the I-40 corridor, so stretches near Brinkley, Wynne, and West Memphis are regular runs for us. Call (870) 270-4001 with your location and a description and we will give you a straight answer on timing before we roll.
Stop safely before calling for roadside help
Get as far off the traveled lane as you can, set your brakes, and put out triangles if you have them. Note your mile marker or exit number so we find you faster. A rig parked safely is easier to work on and keeps everyone out of traffic while the repair gets done.
Air brake tractors can lose braking fast
A Class 8 air system should build from empty to about 100 PSI within roughly two minutes at fast idle, and warning buzzers should sound near 60 PSI. If your truck takes far longer or the low-air alarm keeps sounding, the system is leaking somewhere. That is an emergency repair, not a wait-until-Morning item.
Straight answers before you call
How much does a mobile truck repair cost?
Price comes down to four things: what the repair actually involves, the parts it needs, how long the work runs, and whether the truck is roadside or parked. Before any wrench turns, you get a clear estimate built from those factors, so you know the number before we start and nothing changes after.
What areas do you serve around Forrest City, AR?
We run out of Forrest City and cover the I-40 corridor plus surrounding towns: Brinkley, Wynne, Marianna, West Memphis, Marion, Helena-West Helena, Hughes, Earle, Parkin, Palestine, and Colt. Call (870) 270-4001 with your location and we will confirm we can reach you and how soon.
How soon can you come out for a repair?
Breakdown calls move as fast as you can get us a location. Planned work, like fleet maintenance or a pre-trip inspection, gets booked at a time that fits your route. The sooner you call, the sooner we roll, so ring (870) 270-4001 as soon as you know you need us.
Are you open nights and weekends?
Yes. Trucks do not break down on a schedule, so we run 24 hours a day, seven days a week. A 2 a.m. air brake fault near West Memphis or a Sunday cooling system failure outside Wynne both get answered. Call any hour and we will tell you what happens next.
What should I do while waiting for roadside service?
Move off the roadway as far as you safely can, set your hazards, and note a mile marker, exit, or crossroads. Then call (870) 270-4001 with a short description of the problem. Those details let us load the right parts and tools so one trip does the job.
What happens when you arrive at my truck?
First we look the truck or trailer over and explain what we found before any repair starts. You get the plan and the price up front, then the work happens on site. Most roadside calls are finished where you sit, which means you drive out instead of waiting on a tow.
Do you fix both the tractor and the trailer on one visit?
Yes. One call covers the whole rig: semi trucks, trailers, air brakes, tires, electrical diagnostics, hydraulics, and more, all from the mobile unit. A tractor and trailer do not need two different shops, and the work happens wherever the combination is parked or stopped in our area.
Do I need an appointment or can I call for a same-day fix?
Both work. Breakdowns get priority, so same-day roadside response is the normal way we operate. Planned jobs like transmission repair or alternator and starter replacement can be booked ahead at a time that suits your schedule. Call (870) 270-4001 and we will sort the timing.
Can you handle a jumpstart or tire change on the roadside?
Those are two of the most common roadside calls. A dead battery or a blown tire does not need a shop visit; we bring jumpstart equipment and commercial tire replacement to the shoulder. Give us your location and the tire size if you know it, and we handle the rest.
How does scheduling work for fleet maintenance?
Tell us how many units you run and what interval you want, and we set a recurring schedule that comes to your yard in Forrest City or wherever your trucks stage. Regular service on your lot keeps drivers on routes instead of sitting in a shop waiting line.
