Mail Truck Repair in Hillsboro, KS
The short answer
A mail truck in the shop is a route that is not getting delivered, so we treat it as the emergency it is.
Mail trucks start and stop hundreds of times a day, idle for hours and run in every kind of Kansas weather, so they wear out brakes, doors and electrical parts faster than almost anything else on the road. Picture a rural route on the gravel outside Peabody in August, a hundred boxes in, when the A/C quits and the temperature gauge starts climbing. We work on the whole range, from the older LLV to the new NGDV and the vans in between. Bring it in, or we will come and get it.
Call or text (620) 416-0008. Describe the noise. We'll do the rest.
We answer texts the same day we get them.

Text us which onesWhat mail truck repair at Moxie actually looks like
We get the vehicle in quickly. Mail trucks go on the Fleet Priority schedule, which means they are worked on ahead of routine jobs rather than joining the back of the queue.
We find the actual fault before we replace anything. Mail trucks carry the same computer systems as any modern vehicle, and the newer ones carry more, so we read every module and test the suspect part instead of guessing.
We tell you what it needs and what it will cost before any work starts. Nothing is done until you approve it, and on a fleet account, jobs under your pre-approved limit go ahead straight away so the truck is not waiting on a phone call.
We come and get it. Within 40 miles of the shop we can collect the truck and bring it back, so nobody has to come off a route to drive it in.

What wears out mail trucks around here
- Hundreds of stops and starts a day, which wear brakes, starters and door hardware quickly
- Long idling at boxes in summer heat, which strains the cooling system and the A/C
- Gravel and dirt rural routes, which grind dust into brakes and shake loose steering and suspension parts
- Cold Kansas mornings, which find a weak battery before anything else does
- A sliding door opened and closed at every stop, which wears the tracks and latches

Mail truck repair questions we hear every week
Do you work on the new NGDV mail trucks?
We work on the NGDV, as well as the older LLV and the Metris, ProMaster and Transit vans used on routes. The newer trucks carry more computer systems, so we read every module before we replace anything. Call or text the shop with what the truck is doing, and we will tell you how quickly we can get it in.
Can you pick up a mail truck so our carrier stays on the route?
We can, anywhere within 40 miles of the shop in Hillsboro. That covers McPherson, Newton, Marion and the towns in between. We collect the truck, repair it and bring it back, so your carrier stays on the route with the spare and nobody loses half a day driving to the shop and back.
Do we have to join Fleet Priority to get mail truck repair?
You do not have to join anything. Anyone can bring a mail truck to us. Fleet Priority is free to join from two vehicles, and it adds priority scheduling, one monthly invoice and a pre-approved repair limit, so small jobs never wait for a phone call.
