Here's how our help works in 3 steps.
1
Call or write
Call or text via WhatsApp. Share your location. Send a photo or the error code. Write in your language.
2
Confirm price
We'll assess the damage over the phone or via photos. Then we'll tell you about the travel time and the cost. We'll only start work after you give us your approval.
3
Repair and onward journey
We coordinate the repair on site. If that's not possible, we'll tell you the next step: workshop or towing. Including the price.
Truck workshop: All services from one source
A truck breakdown rarely affects just one area. That's why we organize the full spectrum of commercial vehicle assistance – directly on the motorway or at a local specialist workshop.
Towing & Recovery Service
If a truck or trailer can no longer be repaired on-site, we will organize safe transport. Through our truck towing service, we coordinate professional recovery and targeted transport to the nearest suitable repair shop anywhere in Germany.
Mobile truck on-site service
Our truck breakdown service sends a service technician to where your vehicle is located. He replaces wheel hubs, brake calipers, clutches, alternators, starters, or compressors directly on site and performs EBS/ABS fault analyses.
Mobile tire service for trucks
A flat tire immediately halts logistics. With our truck tire service, a technician will change defective tires directly at the scene, allowing your vehicles to continue their journey without time-consuming detours to a workshop.
Workshop appointment
Some jobs require a workshop. In that case, we'll let you know the location, date, and price in advance. Our base in the greater Hanover area is Wunstorf.
Real-world example: DAF XF 480 in limp mode
Real-life case study
A DAF XF 480 was only traveling at 20 km/h near the German border in the Oldenburg and Bremen region. We arrived after about an hour. The fault: a faulty NOx sensor after the catalytic converter. The truck was repaired immediately at the workshop. Net costs: diagnosis €500, NOx sensor including replacement €602,40. The price always depends on the distance. Border regions in the north are sparsely populated, and the distances are long.
Real-world scenarios: Defect, solution, result
Four incidents. We'll only mention the highway and region. No license plate numbers, no company names.

FAQ – Truck Workshop & Breakdown Service
How quickly can help arrive on site?
Across Germany, the response time is typically 60 to 120 minutes. We organize the service call from Wunstorf and dispatch a technician to your location. If spare parts need to be sourced, it will take longer. We will provide an exact timeframe after the diagnosis.
Does my truck need to be towed every time it breaks down?
No. We repair many defects, such as tire damage, jump-starting, wheel hubs or brake calipers, directly at the breakdown site. Towing is then unnecessary.
What services does TruckBear offer?
Mobile on-site repair, tire service , towing service and workshop repair for trucks, trailers and commercial vehicles throughout Germany.
In which languages can I contact the service?
You can reach us in German, English, French, Polish, Romanian, Russian, and Ukrainian, also via WhatsApp. We use translation tools so drivers can write in their own language.
How transparent are the costs for the deployments?
Before each service call, you will receive a binding quote including a breakdown of spare parts costs, travel expenses, and labor costs. There are no hidden fees.
How much does an hour of workshop time cost at TruckBear?
Our workshop hourly rate starts at €90 net, depending on the complexity of the job and the vehicle involved. After the initial on-site diagnosis, we will provide you with a binding quote before any work begins.
How much does it cost to have a truck towed?
The costs depend on vehicle size, distance, and location. A complete overview with sample prices can be found in our truck towing cost table . Often, however, towing can be avoided altogether: We first check whether a repair is possible directly on site.
Is there a truck repair shop or breakdown service near me?
Yes. We organize the deployment from Wunstorf and send a service technician to you anywhere in Germany. Arrival time is typically 60–120 minutes, regardless of your location.
What should you do if the police or BALM prohibit you from continuing your journey?
Call us and send a photo of the list of defects. We'll check if we can replace the parts on-site. Near Montabaur, we replaced spring accumulators and air tanks in the parking lot. Afterwards, the police lifted the ban. Whether a ban is lifted is always decided by the authorities. You can find all the details about decommissioning after a BALM inspection in our guide.
Do you also repair semi-trailers and trailers?
Yes. We repair semi-trailers and trailers on site, for example air springs and brakes. One example is the burst air spring near Limburg.
