24/7 roadside: text your location to 250-974-7899 — dispatch confirms by text.
Local tool

How far away are we? Do the math yourself.

Real driving time from our mechanic's starting point to your truck — with an optional parts stop on the way (dealer will-call, hose shop, parts counter). Honest ETAs beat optimistic ones.

Or use GPS: fastest and most accurate if you're roadside.
Freightliner/Western Star parts: Langford & Saanichton dealer counters. Kenworth/Peterbilt: up-island (Nanaimo area) — ask dispatch what's fastest.

Estimates use live Mapbox routing from our mechanic's start location. Traffic, ferries and the Malahat being the Malahat can move real timings — dispatch always confirms an honest window by text.

Book a mechanic — by text

Fastest: the wizard builds a clean dispatch text with your issue, truck and location, and copies you on it.

About this tool

Is the travel time part of what I pay?

Billing is time-based at $130/hour and dispatch explains exactly how your call bills when confirming the booking — before the mechanic rolls. This tool exists so the travel picture is never a mystery: you can see the same math we see.

Why add the parts stop to the calculation?

Because it's the honest number. If your repair needs a part collected in Langford before we reach you in Sooke, the with-stop route is your real ETA. Add the stop address and the tool routes through it — the same way the mechanic will drive it.

How accurate is it?

It uses Mapbox's live driving directions — the same class of routing your phone uses — from our mechanic's actual starting point. It can't see a fresh Malahat closure or a ferry lineup, which is why dispatch's texted window is always the final word.
