Our Story
We started with a simple goal - to provide the best support to our local communities. While supporting the impacted ranchers by hauling hay, during the Eastland Texas fires in 2022, we realized that many smaller departments lacked the resources to keep their emergency vehicles in working order. So, we set out to provide emergency vehicle repair services to the underserved areas in our region. Today, we continue to provide mobile, on-site repairs across North Texas, ensuring that first responders have fully functional equipment to keep their communities safe.
