Neuman Truck Service does mobile truck repair in Stillwater, MN for fleets, contractors and owner-operators across the St. Croix Valley. Our service trucks come from Pine City with the tools and parts to fix the truck where it sits. That might be a contractor's yard, a delivery dock, a county road shoulder, or the curb on a tight downtown street. We're open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

A lot of the problems that strand a truck in Stillwater don't need a building around them. Think leaking brake chambers, a failed alternator or a hydraulic hose that burst on a dump body. A DPF that won't regen or a dead A/C compressor in July is the same story, and we can diagnose and fix those on-site. You get an estimate before work starts and a 12-month warranty when it's done. Call (651) 491-4136 and tell us where the truck is.

Highways We Cover Around Stillwater

  • MN-36
  • MN-95
  • MN-96
  • WIS-64

Most truck traffic in and out of Stillwater uses MN-36, the main route west toward the metro. To the east it crosses the St. Croix River on the St. Croix Crossing and continues into Wisconsin as WIS-64. The bridge opened on August 2, 2017, between Oak Park Heights and St. Joseph, Wisconsin, and carries two lanes each way. As MnDOT reported at the opening, the old Stillwater Lift Bridge closed to traffic that same evening. It is now a bike and pedestrian crossing. Don't route a truck through downtown with a plan to cross the river there.

MN-95 follows the river through town, north toward Taylors Falls and south through Lakeland toward Cottage Grove. MN-96 runs about 10 miles west from the north edge of Stillwater to US-61 in White Bear Lake. Stillwater sits down in the bluffs of the St. Croix, so the grades into downtown are real. A loaded straight truck that works its brakes on the way down into the old town puts a lot of heat into drums and linings. Brake repair and suspension repair matter more in a river town like this than out on flat interstate.

Serving Stillwater Fleets

Stillwater is the county seat of Washington County. The county's Public Works department has its offices on Myeron Road North at the edge of town. Lakeview Hospital, part of HealthPartners, is on Churchill Street West. A regional community profile built on Minnesota DEED data counts 956 businesses in Stillwater. That includes 35 manufacturers that employ 734 people. Together they mean a mix of service vans, box trucks, contractor equipment and the occasional tractor-trailer on a delivery.

Downtown is a tourist town with restaurants, shops and the riverfront. That means box trucks and food-service deliveries on narrow streets and short loading zones. The commercial side along MN-36 keeps growing, too. The city lists Central Commons among its recent developments, a 35-acre mixed-use project at Manning Avenue and Highway 36 with a grocery store anchor. For now that means dump trucks and concrete trucks, and later it means grocery and retail deliveries. Hydraulic repair on dump bodies and PTO systems fits the construction side, and truck A/C repair keeps delivery drivers working through summer traffic.

Summer Crowds and Winter Hills in Stillwater

Stillwater gets busy in summer. Visitors fill downtown and the riverfront, and delivery trucks sit in traffic longer than anyone planned. That's hard on cooling systems, fan clutches and A/C compressors, and it's usually when a weak condenser fan or a slipping belt finally quits. A truck that overheats on a downtown street needs help where it is. We can fix most cooling and belt problems right at the curb.

Winter flips the problem. The hills down to the river get icy, traffic throws brine into every connector, and cold starts kill tired batteries and alternators. Air dryers that missed their fall service let water into the lines. A frozen brake valve on a grade is a call nobody wants to make. From December through March, truck electrical repair and emergency truck repair are the two services that matter most here.

How Much Does Mobile Truck Repair Cost in Stillwater?

We price every job on what it actually needs. The main factors are parts, any special equipment, diagnostic time and travel. A night call for a no-start involves different work than a scheduled brake job in your yard, and the estimate shows that.

The estimate comes before the work, so you know the expected cost up front. Every repair and maintenance job carries a 12-month warranty, and you can pay by credit or debit card on site.

About Stillwater, MN

Stillwater calls itself the birthplace of Minnesota. In 1848 a territorial convention here started the process that made Minnesota a state. Four partners founded the town on October 26, 1843, when they formed the Stillwater Lumber Company. Lumbering ran the St. Croix Valley economy through the second half of the 1800s. The Minnesota Territorial Prison opened here in 1853, and Lumberjack Days dates to the 1930s and is still a summer tradition.

The 2020 census counted 19,394 people in Stillwater. The city covers about 9 square miles, with the St. Croix River as its eastern edge, about 20 miles east of downtown St. Paul. One more piece of local trivia: Charles Strite invented the automatic pop-up toaster in Stillwater in 1921.

  • Can a semi still cross the St. Croix on the Stillwater Lift Bridge?

    No. The Lift Bridge closed to vehicle traffic on August 2, 2017, the night the St. Croix Crossing opened on MN-36. Trucks between Stillwater and Wisconsin use the new bridge between Oak Park Heights and St. Joseph, Wisconsin.

  • Can you work on a delivery truck parked downtown?

    Usually, yes, as long as we can work on the truck safely and legally where it sits. We can often fix dead batteries, failed alternators, bad sensors, air leaks and belt problems at the curb. If the job can't happen there, we'll tell you straight.

  • Do you do DOT inspections for Stillwater fleets?

    Yes. Our mechanics are qualified for Minnesota and federal (FMCSA) safety inspections. We can do them at your lot, so trucks don't have to leave the yard.
