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.

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.
