Truck Repairs
When your truck is down, your business is down. At
Pavelka Truck & Trailer Repair Inc. in
Hastings, NE, we keep trucks moving. We’ve been fixing heavy-duty vehicles since 1988, helping drivers and fleets stay on schedule and on the road. No shortcuts. No delays. Just solid work from a team that knows trucks.
You can bring your truck in for a full overhaul or stop by for a quick fix. Either way, our goal is the same: get it done right, and get you moving again.
Engine, Drivetrain & Electrical Repairs
Modern trucks need more than basic repairs. Our shop handles full diagnostics, internal repairs, and custom rebuilds. We work on diesel engines, transmissions, and all systems tied to power, cooling, and drive.
Full Engine Overhauls and Repairs
We rebuild engines from the ground up or handle external engine repairs when a full replacement isn’t needed. Our team inspects every part and ensures you're back on the road with a reliable powertrain.
Code Diagnostics and Electrical Systems
We use diagnostic tools to locate engine codes and electrical faults fast. Whether it’s a starter, alternator, or wiring issue, we can trace the problem and fix it without the runaround.
Transmission & Differential Repairs
Slipping gears? Strange sounds? We rebuild or replace transmissions and differentials to ensure smooth shifts and proper torque. Services include:
- Transmission repairs and replacements
- Differential rebuilds
- Clutch remove and replace
- Computer diagnostics
- Starter and alternator services
- Engine coolant systems
You don’t need to guess what’s wrong. We’ll find it—and we’ll fix it right.
Steering, Suspension & Road Safety Systems
Heavy-duty trucks take a beating. Over time, wear and tear shows in your ride, your handling, and your braking. We restore those systems so you can drive with control and confidence.
Brake & Wheel End Service
Brakes are your first line of defense. We inspect, service, and replace all brake components, including drums, rotors, seals, and bearings. If it’s worn, we replace it. If it’s off, we adjust it.
Suspension & Steering Repairs
Bad suspension leads to rough rides, alignment issues, and uneven tire wear. We rebuild springs, shocks, and steering components to give your truck the control and comfort it needs.
DOT Inspections & Alignment
We perform DOT inspections for trucks, buses, and trailers. Our Hunter alignment system is designed for heavy-duty vehicles, ensuring straight tracking and longer tire life.
Additional services include:
