Who We Are
Richardson Roadside Assistance Scranton is a family-owned, owner-operated roadside and heavy-duty truck service based at 1516 W Gibson St, Scranton, PA 18504. Owner Daniel J. Richardson personally answers calls and dispatches every job. We focus on what Northeastern Pennsylvania’s trucking corridor actually needs: fast semi-truck tire replacement, mobile mechanic work, and towing that doesn’t leave drivers stranded for a full shift.
About 80% of our work is heavy-duty trucks Class 8 semis, box trucks, and commercial fleets moving through I-81 and I-84. The remaining 20% is passenger cars: jump-starts, flat tires, fuel delivery, and winch-outs for everyday drivers who just need someone reliable to show up.
Our Core Semi-Truck Services
Heavy-duty roadside support engineered for commercial operators, fleet managers, and long-haul drivers across NEPA.
Semi-Truck Tire Replacement
A blowout at highway speed is not a repair job; it is a replacement job, and it needs to happen where the truck sits. We roll with new and quality-inspected drive, steer, and trailer tires in the sizes NEPA drivers actually run, plus the air tools, torque wrenches, and jacks to do the swap correctly on uneven ground. We inspect the wheel, check studs and lug torque, and get you back on the road DOT-legal, not just rolling.
Semi-Truck Mobile Mechanic
A lot of breakdowns do not need a shop. Air leaks in the service line, a dead starter, an alternator that finally gave up, a stuck slack adjuster, a coolant hose, sensor faults that trip a derate these are the kinds of jobs our on-site mobile mechanic handles at truck stops, warehouses, weigh stations, and rest areas across the region. If we can fix it where you are parked, you save the tow. If it truly needs a shop, we will tell you honestly and help arrange the tow.
Semi-Truck Fuel Delivery
Running dry on a long climb, a bad fuel gauge, a DEF sensor that lied to you whatever the reason, we bring diesel or DEF to your location so you can make the next station under your own power. Priming and bleeding included when needed.
Towing Services
If your vehicle is not moving, we will tow it to a repair shop or another location of your choice.
