Food Truck & Food Trailer Repair, Service & Upfitting

Yes. Food trucks and concession trailers are a real part of what we do at NextGen AutoWorks in Grantville. We work the vehicle and the build — engine, transmission, brakes, suspension and tires on the chassis (gas or diesel), plus the systems that make it a mobile kitchen: 12-volt and charging electrical, the onboard generator, inverter and shore power, LP/propane lines, and cooking appliances. Local operators like Philly Cheesesteak Co. On The Roll, Café Haj Paj, East Coast Mini Donuts, and Yianni's Gyros are among the food trucks we've serviced. Call (717) 473-5997 and we'll confirm what we can take on for your rig.

Yes. We diagnose and repair the 12-volt and charging side — house and starting batteries, alternators, isolators, wiring, lighting, and panels — along with the onboard generator, the inverter and converter, transfer switches, and 30-amp or 50-amp shore-power connections. If your generator won't start, breakers keep tripping, you're losing 12-volt power, or the truck won't run its equipment off shore power, bring it in and we'll trace it back to the cause instead of guessing. Tell us how your truck is wired and what equipment it has to run, and we'll size the repair to your setup.

We service the propane plumbing on the vehicle — gas lines, fittings, regulators, and appliance connections — and we leak-check the system as part of that work. Propane is unforgiving, so we handle it methodically and we'll tell you straight what we can and can't do for your build. Permit and inspection requirements for LP systems vary by jurisdiction and by how your truck is registered and operated, so we'll confirm the scope of the propane work with you up front rather than promising any particular code sign-off. Call (717) 473-5997 to go over your system.

Yes. We repair and replace cooking and refrigeration equipment on food trucks and trailers — griddles, fryers, ranges, refrigerators and freezers, water heaters, and the gas or electrical connections that feed them. If a unit is beyond repair, we can source and install a replacement and tie it back into the truck's power and propane correctly. What we do not do is certify or service hood fire-suppression (Ansul-type) systems — that's specialized work for a licensed fire-suppression company, and we'll point you to one if your build needs it.

We do both repair and fabrication/upfitting. That ranges from a single bracket or mount to fabricating and installing serving windows, shelving, counters, equipment platforms, and structural reinforcement, plus the electrical, propane, and appliance work to make it usable. Whether we're modifying an existing truck, finishing a partial build, or repairing damage, we'll walk the project with you, give you a clear plan, and stage the work so the truck spends as little time off the road as possible. Bring your layout and equipment list and we'll tell you what's realistic.

Yes — this is core auto-and-diesel work for us. We service the engine, transmission, brakes, drivetrain, steering and suspension, tires, and air conditioning on gas and diesel chassis, including the medium-duty platforms a lot of food trucks are built on, handled by our diesel-experienced technicians. We can also keep up the preventive maintenance that keeps a heavily loaded truck reliable through a season of events. Qualifying repairs may be backed by the NAPA Peace of Mind Warranty — 24 months / 24,000 miles, honored nationwide when current NAPA terms apply.

We're a licensed Pennsylvania state safety and emissions inspection station, and we handle inspection-related repairs so your truck leaves road-legal. What an individual food truck or trailer needs depends on its weight class, body type, and how it's registered, so call (717) 473-5997 and we'll confirm what we can inspect for your specific unit before you make the trip. Note that vehicle inspection is separate from health-department and food-safety compliance — those are handled by your local health authority, not by an auto shop.

We get it — a truck that isn't rolling isn't earning, so we treat downtime as part of the job. We can't promise same-day completion on every repair, especially when parts have to come in or a build needs fabrication, but we'll diagnose it quickly, give you an honest timeline before we start, and stage the work to get you back to your events as soon as it's safe to do so. The best move is to call ahead at (717) 473-5997 so we can plan around your schedule and have what we need ready when you drop off.
