Billy Bob’s Repair & Tire News

For truckers and fleet operators, keeping a big rig trailer in top condition is essential for both safety and efficiency. Ignoring trailer issues can lead to breakdowns, delivery delays, or even serious accidents. To avoid costly downtime and ensure your rig remains roadworthy, it's important to recognize and resolve trailer problems as soon as they arise. At Billy Bob’s Repair & Tire, we provide expert trailer repair in the greater San Antonio, TX area. Here are five common big rig trailer problems that should be addressed without delay. Faulty Lights Lighting issues are among the most common and most hazardous trailer problems. Brake lights, turn signals, and running lights must all function properly to ensure safety on the road. Malfunctioning or flickering lights can make your rig invisible at night or prevent you from signaling lane changes or stops, increasing the risk of accidents. These problems can often be traced to damaged wiring, loose connections, or failed bulbs. Tire Wear or Damage Trailer tires endure a lot of stress, especially during long hauls and heavy loads. Uneven tread wear, bulges, or low pressure can all compromise tire performance and lead to dangerous blowouts. Regular tire inspections and prompt replacements are crucial to maintaining safe traction and avoiding roadside emergencies. Suspension System Issues The trailer’s suspension system helps distribute weight and absorb shocks from the road. Signs of suspension problems include excessive bouncing, noisy operation, or a visibly sagging trailer. A qualified technician should inspect and repair any suspension issues to prevent further damage and maintain smooth, safe performance. Brake System Malfunctions Trailer brakes play a vital role in stopping power and overall safety. Common issues include air leaks and damaged brake drums. Any signs of reduced braking performance should be checked by a mechanic immediately to ensure safe operation. Structural Damage or Cracks Over time, trailers can develop cracks in the frame, floor, or walls due to stress and corrosion. Structural damage compromises the integrity of the trailer and can put cargo at risk. Even small cracks can grow and lead to major failures under heavy loads. Early detection and repair are key to extending the life of the trailer and keeping it safe on the road.

Forklifts play a crucial role in warehouses, construction sites, and industrial settings. When a forklift begins to malfunction, it not only slows down operations but also increases the risk of accidents and costly damage. Addressing the early signs of trouble can help keep your equipment running efficiently. At Billy Bob’s Repair & Tire, we provide expert forklift repair in the greater San Antonio area. Here are four common signs that your forklift may need repairs. Reduced Lifting Performance A forklift that struggles to lift loads or does so unevenly is showing clear signs of trouble. The hydraulic system is responsible for raising and lowering the forks, and any decline in lifting power could mean there's a leak or low fluid levels. If the forks drop too quickly or don’t hold their position properly, it’s time to have the hydraulic system thoroughly inspected by a technician. Leaking Fluids Any visible leak around the forklift should be treated as a warning sign. Leaks can involve hydraulic fluid, engine oil, coolant, or brake fluid—all of which are essential for safe and efficient operation. Not only do leaks create safety hazards, but they can also indicate worn-out seals, damaged hoses, or failing components that need repair or replacement. Unusual Noises During Operation Forklifts typically produce a consistent hum or mechanical sound while in use. If you start hearing grinding, squealing, or knocking noises, this may indicate a mechanical issue. Strange sounds often point to problems with the brakes, steering components, or the transmission system. These noises should never be ignored, as they can signal early signs of component failure that may worsen if left unchecked. Dashboard Warning Lights Modern forklifts are commonly equipped with dashboard indicators that alert operators to various mechanical or electronic issues. If any warning lights appear—such as those for low oil pressure, overheating, or battery problems—it’s important to stop using the forklift and schedule a diagnostic check. Ignoring these lights can result in further damage and increased repair costs.

When a semi truck refuses to start, it can bring your route to a grinding halt and cost time and money. In such a situation, our team at Billy Bob’s Repair & Tire can come to you to diagnose and resolve the issue. Here are four common reasons that semi trucks fail to start. Dead or Weak Battery One of the most common reasons for a no-start condition in a semi truck is a dead or weak battery. Batteries lose their charge over time, especially in extreme temperatures. Corroded terminals, loose connections, or an aging battery can prevent the electrical system from functioning properly. If the truck makes a clicking noise but won’t start, the battery is a likely suspect. Faulty Starter Motor The starter motor is responsible for cranking the engine, and if it’s not functioning properly, the engine won’t turn over. Symptoms of a bad starter motor include a grinding noise, complete silence when turning the key, or intermittent starting issues. Over time, wear and tear can cause the starter to fail, leaving the truck immobile. Fuel System Problems Without a steady supply of fuel, a diesel engine can’t start. Common issues include clogged fuel filters, air in the fuel lines, and a faulty fuel pump. Signs of an emerging fuel system issue include inconsistent acceleration, poor fuel-efficiency, and difficult starting. A disruption in the fuel delivery system can prevent combustion, keeping the engine from firing up. Ignition Switch Issues If the ignition switch fails, it can prevent the truck from starting even if the battery and starter are in good shape. A worn ignition switch may cut off power to the starter motor and fuel system. Drivers may notice that turning the key doesn't produce any response, which can indicate a failing switch. 24/7 Mobile Semi Truck Repair in San Antonio, TX For roadside semi truck repair in San Antonio and the surrounding area, contact Billy Bob’s Repair & Tire at  (210) 796-3891  .
