    NTTS Breakdown

    Truck & trailer breakdown directory (website, app and printed directory) · since 1989

    Best for: Shops that want to be found by fleets and owner-operators looking up 24-hour road service by state, city and repair category.

    How shops get listed: NTTS researches and phone-verifies locations, and sells paid display ads in the directory.

    Price for shops: NTTS publishes display ad sizes on its site with prices from $314 to $1,799. The page does not state the term or what each size includes — confirm with NTTS.

    What NTTS Breakdown says about itself

    • Says it has published the NTTS Breakdown Directory since 1989.
    • Says it calls and verifies every listing each year and removes vendors that no longer qualify.
    • Uses a "3-strike rule": three complaints NTTS judges valid lead to a location being removed.
    • Categories include truck repair, trailer repair, tires, towing & recovery, reefer service, truck washes, parking and more.
    • The directory is free for drivers and fleets to search.

    Ask NTTS Breakdown

    • Is the ad price per year, and does it cover print, web and app?
    • Which cities and categories will my ad appear under?
    • Can I see call or view counts for my listing?
    • What are the renewal and cancellation terms?

    How to choose

    • Ask both for call or view counts from shops near you, not national totals.
    • Compare the full yearly cost, including renewals, for the cities and categories you need.
    • If you use multiple directories, track inquiries separately before deciding which to renew.
    • If you want dispatched fleet work rather than directory calls, look at a managed network as well.

    Frequently asked

    Is Truckdown better than NTTS Breakdown?

    It depends on your shop. Truckdown (The legacy truck-stop directory) and NTTS Breakdown (National Truck Service breakdown directory) serve different needs. Confirm current pricing and features with each vendor; Repairius does not verify third-party prices.

    Can I use Repairius alongside Truckdown or NTTS Breakdown?

    You can keep other services while using Repairius. Repairius offers a free basic listing and website with booking requests; advanced management tools require the appropriate paid plan. This does not imply an integration with either vendor or guarantee inquiry volume.

    Can I replace both with one tool?

    It depends on what you use each one for. Repairius combines a free directory listing with booking requests and, on a paid plan, dispatch, estimates and invoicing. Some shops keep Truckdown or NTTS Breakdown alongside Repairius — compare your current contracts before cancelling anything.
