FAQs
What Areas Do You Serve For Truck Axles?
We perform axle inspections and related services at our shop in Des Moines, Iowa. Conveniently located off I-65, we’re accessible for local and long-haul operators.
How often should I service the axle grease on my truck?
Service axle grease every 25,000 to 30,000 miles, or during scheduled brake jobs. Harsh driving conditions may require more frequent checks. Proper greasing prevents metal-to-metal contact, reduces wear, and protects against water or dirt contamination that can lead to costly axle repairs.
Can a bad axle affect DOT inspection results?
Yes. Visible leaks, worn seals, or misalignment may result in DOT inspection failures. Preventive maintenance helps catch issues before they lead to violations.

Dan Eslinger
Guys did a great job! If they find problems they will advise you on it...leaks etc. Had my truck and trailer greased and oil and filters changed. Once they was done another tech double checked the work to ensure all was done properly and nothing was forgotten.
Thanks guys!
