Here at TravelCenters of America, we're working to help you run smarter. And that means helping you take care of your rig and getting you the maintenance you need, when you need it.

To help you stick to recommended maintenance schedules, TA locations have 24-hour shops staffed by ASE-certified technicians. We also offer several levels of service depending on your needs and schedule. These range from a simple oil and filter change to complete PMs and special programs for those extending oil drain intervals. Our Freightliner ServicePointSM program is exclusively for owners and drivers of Freightliner trucks, and provides authorized express service and light-duty repair. TA performs service work on all manufacturers and provides a 120-day nationwide warranty on labor and a one-year warranty on parts.

We know that time is money and how much you hate to wait. To help you save time, we have improved the TA Express Line, so it is answered 24/7 by a live TA employee.TA's Express Line service allows you to call ahead and reserve your space in line. Using our Express Line will help you get in our shops and back on the road fast. You can call ahead at 800-TA4-SHOP (800-824-7467) to reserve your spot in line.
