Raul’s Truck Repair

About the Business

Tucked away at Raul’s Truck Repair, located at 2 Fish House Rd, Kearny, NJ 07032, is a team that gets straight to the point—fixing what’s broken and doing it right the first time. There’s no guessing, no vague promises. You show up with a truck that won’t start or a check engine light that’s been driving you mad, and they’re already reaching for the diagnostic tools before you’ve even finished your sentence.

From the moment you roll into the lot, the vibe is no-nonsense. The crew clearly knows their stuff—seasoned mechanics who’ve been elbows-deep in diesel engines longer than some shops have been open. Whether it’s a fleet needing DOT inspections or a solo operator with a busted turbo, these guys treat every job like it’s priority one.

It’s not just the wrench work that stands out—it’s the rhythm. One truck gets lifted, another pulls out, and someone’s already reviewing the next service ticket. There’s a method here, built on years of experience and a clear understanding of how costly downtime can be. They’ll walk you through the repair, lay out the costs, and, if something can wait, they’ll say so. That kind of honesty? Rare.

In one case, I watched a driver limp in with transmission issues. The tech diagnosed the problem in under 15 minutes, got the part sourced locally, and had the rig back on the road by sundown. No inflated estimates, no dodging questions. Just solid work.

People come from all over Jersey, and the reviews don’t lie. The locals know them, and word-of-mouth has made this place something of a go-to. Search around, and you’ll see the same pattern: consistent praise for turnaround time, deep technical know-how, and customer-first attitude.

If you’re looking for locations that actually specialize in heavy-duty truck repair—not just general car repair—this spot nails it. Beyond repairs, they’ve helped drivers with routine maintenance schedules, hydraulic issues, and even emergency roadside support coordination when needed.

It’s not a glitzy showroom with espresso machines. It’s a real shop for real problems. When trucks break, Raul’s Truck Repair is where they get fixed.

Let me tell you About Raul's repair shop. You could not get any any nicer of a man. His shop is very busy and there's a reason for that. They? Do good work at a reasonable price. I was in there to have a small repair done. And really didn't have much money to pay him. So he told me. Don't worry about it, I'm going to help you out with that. I was almost in tears he knows i am having hard times right now and fixed my truck for no charge and with in a hour! He has never met me before and i asked him if he could do this repair the cheapest way possible i said i am broke so anything you could do would help . When job was done he said its on the house What a Fantastic person definitely Recommended by me!

Took my truck to this place for a diagnostic I told the guy that deal with the computer that my truck was deleted, he plug the computer in and changed all the setting on the truck and had to call another mechanic to fix the issue programming the truck again and they want to charge me $1000 dollars for a mistake they made. First and last time going to this place.

Used to bring all my trucks there, over $100K in business. Once he moved he became big time and over charged. Took my hood apart, quoted me, I said no and they said they couldnt put it back together it had to be fixed. I said no and I was tired of this treatment, he told me my trucks are no longer welcome and he is strapping the back down. Photos attached of what was done without my authorization. *editing due to merchant response* Communication was not mis interpreted, Raul himself told me on my “get my truck the F out and none of my fleet is welcome back” He has had my cell number for 5 years and could clear this up if it was truly a misunderstanding. If he can afford to tell a fleet owner of 30+ assets don’t come back what’s he going to do to a small single unit OO. Every DOT, every PM, every tire was replaced by them plus any mechanical issues. Kearny Truck Center fixed the issue and put the truck back together for less than half of what Raul’s quoted.
