6. Real Results: What Our Fleet Customers Say

“We called Decker after 6 weeks on the road, and realized we had a broken leaf spring on our fifth wheel. We called Decker on Monday morning, they sent their mobile mechanic Alex out that afternoon, and he removed the wheel and took the spring back to the shop. They actually had the spring we needed in stock, and by 11:00 on Tuesday, the job was completed. Alex was professional and a hard worker. We truly appreciate you rescuing us from a catastrophic accident. Highly recommend this company if you need mobile service. Thank you!” — Cathy S.
