Mobile Bus Repair In Bedford Park, IL
When a bus is sidelined, schedules ripple. Our mobile team arrives with OEM-level diagnostics (J1939/J1708), calibrated gauges, and the parts most buses need. Typical on-site fixes include air-system leaks, brake chamber and valve faults, coolant and oil leaks, no-start complaints, charging issues, and lighting failures. We also handle door systems, wheelchair/ADA lift electrical problems, kneeling/ride-height concerns, and HVAC blower, clutch, or controller faults. For aftertreatment, we perform forced regens when appropriate, troubleshoot DEF/DPF/SCR faults, and verify sensor and harness integrity. Each job ends with scans, functional checks, and a short road test when safe. If a repair is larger than curbside work allows, we coordinate secure transport and continue the job without breaking momentum. Planning ahead? We can batch PMs, inspections, and DVIR close-outs during low-demand windows to minimize disruptions.
What Makes Us Different
You get mobile capability backed by serious capacity. Our 62,000 sq. ft. facility absorbs anything too complex for the curb, so units don’t sit waiting for space. We handle long-wheelbase and articulated buses every day, and our teams are comfortable working around fare equipment, telematics, and multiplexed wiring. Incidents that include body damage move seamlessly into our 65-foot paint tank booth, where full-length panels and large roof sections get consistent prep, paint, and cure. Ride quality complaints? We perform suspension work constantly—think height-control valves, torque rods, bushings, air springs, and steering components—so we separate quick adjustments from parts that truly need replacement. Whether you manage a few coaches or a large operation, we tailor maintenance to your service windows and reporting needs. You’ll also appreciate the confidence of working with a shop trusted by names you know, including the Chicago Transit Authority, U-Haul, and the University of Illinois–Chicago. One call, clear ETAs, documented findings, and a clean handoff between on-site and in-shop work—that’s how downtime stays short.

Why Would A Bus Suddenly Shut Down On Route?
Common causes include low coolant or oil triggering engine protection, fuel starvation from clogged filters, or alternator failure depleting batteries. Electrical faults in main power or ground paths can also interrupt ECUs. A scan plus basic pressure and voltage checks typically isolates the root cause quickly and safely.
What Aftertreatment Issues Can Be Handled On Site?
Many DPF/DEF/SCR faults can be triaged in the field. We verify sensors, inspect wiring and connectors, confirm DEF quality, and perform a forced regen when conditions allow. If the filter is overloaded or components have failed, we stabilize the unit and arrange transport for cleaning or replacement without schedule chaos.

Great experience from beginning to end. We had never used Bus & Truck of Chicago and what a great surprise! Angela made the whole process worry free, from the estimate to the final product.
Bus & Truck of Chicago is excellent! When my company's truck needed repairs, I took a chance on Bus & Truck Chicago and it really paid off. They were able to fix all the mechanical and body issues in three days, saving us a ton on rentals.
Our experience with B&T has been wonderful so far. Our lift stopped working. We weren't able to use our bus. Angela and her staff were absolutely spot on in all aspects.
Very professional, great work, customer service was outstanding, we wouldn't take our truck anywhere else.
Took my truck here for an alignment, they did an amazing job, fast in and out, definitely would recomend them!!!
They fix everything. They have no issue with you showing up with the part and changing whatever part you want. Not like other shops that insist they diagnose the issue.
"Wonderful company to deal with. Very professional and accommodating to our company’s needs. Service is fast and efficient. We have brought 5 trucks over for repairs in the last 3 months and have NOT had 1 issue with the service or the repairs. Cannot be happier with this company."
