Thermo King and Carrier Units

We work on the two most common trailer refrigeration brands, Thermo King and Carrier Transicold. Tell us the model and the alarm code when you call, and we will tell you what to expect before you drive over.

Reefer Trailer Repair in the Same Shop

A reefer load does not care which part failed. Besides the unit, we repair the trailer: doors and seals, lights, air lines, ABS, brakes, floors and panels. See trailer repair for the full list.

Broke Down With a Load?

Call (224) 588-3442 and tell us where you are. If the unit can be fixed on the spot, we can send mobile service. If not, we can tow the trailer to our shop.

“I’ve been to a lot of shops, and RT Group is one of the few that actually does what they say. Rolled in with an issue on my trailer — no lights, busted wire. They got me in quick, showed me exactly what was wrong, and had it fixed that same day.”

“Brought my Freightliner Cascadia to RT Group after an air leak and brake issues. The mechanics found the problem quickly, explained what needed to be repaired, and got the truck back on the road the same day. No guessing, no unnecessary work, no surprise charges.”

“Great people working. Very professional and do quality work. We came in for some electrical issues on the trailer after another road service made a big mess there. They found the problem and fixed it quickly. Highly recommend this place.”
