Independence sits where Iowa 150 crosses US 20 east of Waterloo, and the shop’s own street address points down the same road that leads here.

This is the main east side town on the US 20 run toward Dubuque, and Iowa 150 carries freight north toward Oelwein and south toward I 380. Between the two it sees more heavy traffic than its size suggests.
Every call starts the same way. You describe the unit and what it is doing, you hear the callout, the labor and the travel, and nothing is dispatched until you agree to it. On site the fault is confirmed by testing before a part comes out of the truck, and you are told plainly if the job belongs in a shop rather than on a shoulder.
