The mobile mechanic out of Dickinson
Sunrise Diesel in Dickinson runs its own service truck to the unit — on I-94, on a lease road or in your yard. If it will not roll, call the Dickinson line and we come to you.

Where the truck comes from
Close to I-94, and ready to roll
Our Dickinson shop, on the east side off 37th Ave — the same crew, the same rates, closer to I-94.
The Dickinson shop sits on the east side off 37th Ave, a few minutes from the interstate. The truck that comes to you leaves from here, so the drive out to Belfield, South Heart or Richardton is a short one.

“Customer service from the owner is top notch! Service rates are better than any other diesel shop. I've used them on the side of the road for an alternator and belt issue and been at their shop after blowing an airbag at night. 24/7 operation and fast service, even late at night!”
Why the phone rings
What the mobile mechanic gets called out for
Winter is the busy season for this out here. Seven things account for most of the calls that put a truck on the road out of Dickinson.
01
Winter no-starts and gelled fuel
Thirty below and it will not light. Gelled fuel and a dead battery in January is a different job than the same fault in July, and the truck is loaded for it.
02
Blown airbags and suspension failures
The unit is sitting down on one corner and it is not going any further on its own.
03
Alternator, belt and charging faults
Lights dimming, gauges dropping, and you are watching the battery run down mile by mile.
04
Air leaks and brake problems
It will not build air, or it will not release. Tell us what the gauges are doing when you call.
05
Overheating and coolant loss
Temperature climbing, coolant on the ground, and nowhere sensible to put it.
06
Water and vacuum trailer trouble
Oilfield trailers break out on the lease, not in town. That is normal work here, not a favor.
07
Anything that stopped the load
If it has quit and you are not sure what it is, describe it on the phone and we will work it out from there.
Not on this list? It still gets a phone call. Describe the symptom and we will tell you straight whether it can be fixed where it sits or whether it needs a bay.

In their words
People we went out to
“Dewayne is great and honest mechanic, they have the best service truck in the state, he's saved me at 2am in -20 before when he was 2.5 hours away. He's very knowledgeable not just about semis but about working in the oilfield, he has his own trucks and knows the right way to fix water trailers and make things work.”
“I appreciate HD Diesel for helping get me home this weekend. Very friendly, fair price, and even came to me for the service.”
Will you come out to the truck?
Yes. We run our own service trucks and we do emergency call-outs — that is a large part of what we do out here. Call, tell us where the unit is and what it is doing, and we will tell you straight away whether it can be fixed where it sits or whether it needs to come in.
Are you open after hours?
Yes. All three shops are open 24 hours, seven days a week. Call the shop number and it gets to us — customers have had us out at two in the morning at twenty below.

One phone call to the Dickinson shop is the whole process. No form, no portal — you talk to the people who are going to work on it.
