Q: Are you certified for PA State and Federal DOT inspections?
A: Yes. PRS Truck Repair is a licensed Pennsylvania inspection station and certified to perform annual Federal DOT inspections for trucks and trailers.

Billing & Payments
Q: What payment methods do you accept?
A: We accept major credit cards, fleet checks, and approved commercial billing arrangements. Fleet customers can also set up net terms upon approval.
Q: Do you provide estimates before repair?
A: Always. PRS provides written estimates and clear communication before any work begins — no surprises.
