24/7 Mobile Semi Truck Repair in Santa Clarita
Truck down in Santa Clarita? Whether it’s parked in a Saugus yard, sitting at a dock in Canyon Country or stopped on the 14, we come to you, day or night.
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 cover the whole Santa Clarita Valley: Newhall, Saugus, Canyon Country and Valencia (see our Valencia page).
Where we work in Santa Clarita
- I-5 through the valley: from the Newhall Pass and the truck lanes at the 5/14 split up through Lyons Ave, McBean Pkwy and Valencia Blvd
- Hwy 14 (Antelope Valley Fwy): Sand Canyon, Golden Valley and Via Princessa, and on up toward Agua Dulce and Acton
- Soledad Canyon Rd, Sierra Hwy and San Fernando Rd: the local corridors where a lot of contractor and delivery trucks run
- Business parks and yards: Centre Pointe in Canyon Country and Saugus, fleet lots, construction sites and truck parking around the valley
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.
Common breakdowns we see in Santa Clarita
- Short-run DPF loading: local delivery and construction trucks that never get a long highway run, so the DPF fills up and regens don’t finish
- Grade-related faults: high coolant or exhaust temperatures and power loss after the climb out of the Newhall Pass or up the 14
- No-starts in the yard: batteries, charging, starter circuits and wiring on trucks that sat over the weekend
- Warning lights and derates: DEF, NOx sensor and SCR codes that drop the truck into derate in the middle of a route
A tech who tests first
Dealer-level software lets us read the same data the dealer reads, run the same tests and forced regens, and program modules on site. That means a real answer about what failed, not a parts-cannon guess, and often no tow and no week-long wait for a dealer bay.

FAQ
Do you come to my yard in Santa Clarita, or only to the freeway?
Both. We work in yards, at docks, job sites and truck parking all over the Santa Clarita Valley, and on the shoulder of the I-5 and Hwy 14.
How fast can you get to a truck in Newhall, Saugus or Canyon Country?
It depends on the schedule and exactly where you are. We’re based in the area, so call or text and we’ll give you a real arrival estimate before dispatch.
Can you do a forced regen or DPF work without a shop?
Yes. We run diagnostics and forced/parked regens with dealer-level software at your location. If the DPF itself needs cleaning or replacement, we’ll tell you and help line it up.
Do you work nights and weekends?
Yes, 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays.
How do I pay?
Zelle, EFS or Comchek. No credit or debit cards.
Also serving: Valencia, Castaic and the I-5 / Grapevine, Palmdale, Lancaster and the Antelope Valley, and the San Fernando Valley. We go anywhere. Travel fee may apply outside our main area.
