Rehab & Overhauls You Can Count On
When your coaches rack up miles, issues compound. We start with system-wide inspection and digital diagnostics. Using state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, we pinpoint faults fast, then map an overhaul plan that fits your downtime. Our team handles drivability concerns, body refresh, and electrical troubleshooting - including harness testing, connector cleaning, and wiring repair to prevent repeat faults. From air systems to braking, we service wear items and address root causes, not just symptoms. Need cosmetic work that matches factory finish? We’ll align the repair schedule with repaint and refinish to minimize time off-route. For one-offs or phased programs, you’ll get clear estimates, progress updates, and a road-ready coach on delivery.
What Makes Us Different
You need capacity and capability in one place. Our 62,000 sq. ft. facility gives your buses the room—and resources—for comprehensive rehab from bumper to bumper. We work on everything big, so tall roofs, long wheelbases, and articulated units aren’t a headache here. If you’re planning a gradual refresh, our scalable maintenance solutions let you stagger units without disrupting routes. After structural or cosmetic repairs, our 65-foot paint tank booth delivers uniform coverage and durable finishes across full-length coaches. Ride quality matters, so we perform extensive suspension work—air springs, torque rods, bushings, shocks, and alignments—to reduce driver fatigue and protect tires. Organizations you recognize have trusted us with major projects, including the Chicago Transit Authority, U-Haul, and the University of Illinois–Chicago. With that level of experience behind every rehab, you get predictable outcomes, streamlined approvals, and vehicles that look and drive like they should.

What Does A Bus Rehab Cycle Entail?
A bus rehab cycle involves refurbishing key systems of a heavy-duty diesel bus, including engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, and interior. It may also include structural repairs and repainting. The goal is to extend service life, improve performance, and ensure compliance with updated safety and emissions standards.
What's The Typical Lifespan For A Commercial Bus?
The typical lifespan for a commercial bus is around 12 to 15 years or approximately 500,000 to 750,000 miles. With regular maintenance and periodic overhauls or rehabs, some buses can remain operational for up to 20 years in lower-demand service roles.

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."
