Prince George
The core service area: the BCR industrial site, the Danson and Pinewood yards, Hart Highway businesses, College Heights and the acreages out toward Pineview and Beaverley.
Coverage
Mobile mechanic service areas around Prince George
Prince George sits where Highway 16 and Highway 97 cross, so the equipment that breaks down here is rarely close to a shop. Prince George and the surrounding area is the primary service area, following those corridors and the resource roads that feed them. Service availability outside Prince George depends on location.
Where calls come from
Highway 16 East — Willow River, Giscome, Upper Fraser
Log haul and industrial traffic east of the city. Breakdown calls out this way are common in winter when a unit sits overnight and refuses to start.
Highway 16 West — Vanderhoof, Fort St. James corridor
Ranching, log haul and mill traffic. Machines working west of the city are often a long float from a shop, so a field repair usually makes more sense.
Highway 97 South — Hixon, Stoner, Quesnel direction
Gravel hauls, construction crews and highway traffic. For a truck down on the shoulder south of town, the unit, the fault and the exact location come first.
Highway 97 North — Salmon Valley, Bear Lake, Mackenzie direction
Forestry blocks, camps and long stretches with poor cell service. Give a km marker and a radio channel where you have one.
Resource roads and bush blocks
Landings, log sorts, gravel pits and back roads. Access, road condition and radio channel get confirmed before a truck is dispatched.
Travel outside these areas
Longer runs toward McBride, Valemount, Fort St. James or Mackenzie can usually be arranged, but they are scheduled rather than treated as a drop-everything call. Distance and road conditions get discussed up front so there are no surprises on the invoice. Nothing is promised on timing before the location and the fault are known.
Not sure if your site is covered?
Give the location and the unit. If it is not a fit, you will get told straight up rather than left waiting.
Common starting points: roadside repair, heavy equipment repair and service truck calls.
