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
very good affordable service i would recommend him to anyone!!!

About Fleet Maintenance
Common questions and tips from our work with Forrest City customers.
What should a fleet manager do before the first service visit?
Send us a unit list with mileage and any known issues, and point out where trucks park overnight so we can reach them. Flag units with recurring faults or overdue intervals first. If trucks need to stay dispatchable, tell us your run schedule and we will sequence the work so no truck sits longer than the service takes.
How do I prepare a truck for scheduled maintenance on my yard?
Park it on level ground with room to walk around it, leave the keys with someone who knows the unit, and make sure the air system is charged so brakes can be checked honestly. A short note from the driver about noises, leaks, or warning lights helps us verify symptoms during the service instead of guessing.
How often should a small fleet get preventive service?
Most trucking operations service engines every 15,000 to 25,000 miles depending on the oil and duty cycle, but a working truck should also get a walk-around inspection every few weeks. Chassis grease, brake stroke checks, and lighting checks between oil intervals catch most of the small failures that turn into roadside calls.
Space out your fleet instead of batching it
If all five trucks hit their service interval the same week, do not service them all in one day. Staggering units a week apart means one truck is always down while four stay loaded. A steady rotation is cheaper than a week where the whole fleet sits at the yard in Forrest City waiting on wrenches.
Track the little defects every driver reports
A slow air leak or one flickering marker light is cheap to fix during scheduled maintenance and expensive to fix on the shoulder of I-40. Keep a simple per-truck list of driver complaints and hand it to us at each visit. Most major roadside failures were already reported as a small one weeks earlier.
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.
