About us
Since 2016, we’ve been deeply rooted in the trucking industry, initially focusing on logger trucks before expanding into a full-service repair business. Founded by Jonathan Custead, our journey began with a passion for solving problems and doing the job right.
With two spacious 50x100 bays and two additional 50x50 bays, our shop is equipped to handle a wide variety of repair and maintenance needs. Our team consists of three skilled mechanics, including Isaac and Levi, who’ve been part of our journey since their high school days. Trained under Jonathan’s brother, they’ve grown into invaluable members of the Custead family, and their dedication reflects in every repair they perform.

These guys literally saved my life!!! It was 5 degrees outside mid December and my truck blew an antifreeze hose! I was stuck on the side of the road with my truck shut off freezing and they came out on a timely fashion. He diagnosed the problem very quickly and was able to get a new hose put on my truck. He filled my antifreeze back up then tested it to be sure the truck was running properly. I would definitely recommend these guys for any work needed on your big truck.!!
Custead Heavy Truck & Equipment LLC Deserve this 5 star review. I can not thank them enough for the service they provided. My transmission went out in my work van. They knew I was very busy and needed to get it back on the road. They had a brand new transmission replaced within a week of me breaking down. My vehicle is driving amazing. Their whole crew is very knowledgeable and take a lot of pride in what they do to service and repair all aspects of your vehicle and equipment. Thank you!!
I started using Custards heavy truck repair about three months ago. They always seem to go above and beyond and get your truck fixed Within a reasonable amount of time. This last service I took it in because I had a ton of black crap in my fuel filters a check engine light on an ABS light on. I figured it would take two days to get it all done. They had it done within 24 hours.. Keep up the work you definitely earned a new full-time customer.
They have done a great deal of work for me already and there's a reason why I keep going back with repairs that I can't handle myself, they get the job done as quickly as they can without compromising quality. They will always treat you fairly.
