24/7 Mobile Semi Truck Repair in Palmdale, Lancaster & Along Hwy 14
Broke down in Palmdale, Lancaster or on the 14 between Santa Clarita and the Antelope Valley? We come out to the truck, 24/7.
Basta Motors is an owner-operated, mobile-only semi truck repair service working 24/7. You get the same tech every time: 15+ years on heavy equipment and trucks, with dealer-level diagnostic software on the laptop. There is no shop to drive to. We come to your truck. We run up Hwy 14 to the Antelope Valley all the time, so the stretch from the Newhall Pass to Lancaster is part of our regular route.
Covering the Antelope Valley via Hwy 14
- Hwy 14 (Antelope Valley Fwy): the shoulder from Sand Canyon through Agua Dulce, Acton and the Soledad Pass grade, down into Palmdale and on to Lancaster
- Hwy 138 / Pearblossom Hwy: east of Palmdale toward Littlerock, Pearblossom and the 15, and Avenue D west of Lancaster toward the I-5
- Palmdale: yards and lots along Sierra Hwy, Avenue P and Avenue M, and around Plant 42
- Lancaster: business parks and truck parking off Avenue I, Avenue L and Avenue M, and the industrial areas near Fox Field
What we handle on site
- DPF, DEF, SCR & EGR problems: failed regens, aftertreatment warnings, NOx sensor faults and derate diagnosis and repair (more on DPF, DEF & regen)
- Electrical & engine faults: intermittent codes, wiring, sensors, communication problems, no-starts and loss of power (more on electrical & engine)
- Programming: software updates, module programming, parameters and calibrations (call with your VIN first)
- Roadside repair: whatever it takes to get the truck moving again. Bigger jobs go to a trusted partner.
What the desert does to trucks
- Climbing the 14: the long grade out of the Santa Clarita Valley brings on high coolant and exhaust temperatures, EGR faults and power loss
- Summer heat: sensor and wiring failures, charging problems and electrical faults that only show up when it’s hot
- Wind and dust: air intake restriction and sensor contamination that set codes and cut power
- Cold mornings: high-desert nights get cold, and weak batteries or starting circuits show up as no-starts at sunrise
- Aftertreatment derates: DPF, DEF and NOx sensor problems that strand a truck far from a dealer
Far from a dealer? We bring the dealer software
When the nearest dealer bay is a long tow away, on-site testing matters. We carry dealer-level diagnostic software, so we can pinpoint the fault, run regens and program modules right there in the Antelope Valley, and you only tow if it truly needs a shop.
