Roadside mechanical breakdown on the AP-7, La Jonquera

La Jonquera is kilometre zero of the AP-7 and Spain's busiest truck border crossing, where northern-European corridors funnel down towards the Levante and Andalusia. We attend on the motorway itself, at the northbound and southbound service areas and across the large truck parking zones, where brake and cab-climate failures pile up inside the border queues.

Roadside mechanical breakdown

Most stoppages are not catastrophic failures — they are wear parts giving up a long way from a workshop. We replace drive belts and tensioners, water pumps, hoses and radiators, alternators and starter motors, and trace diesel leaks in the fuel circuit. We work on DAF, Volvo, Scania, Mercedes, MAN, Renault and Iveco.

What to do while we are on the way

  • Note any warning lamp that came on before it stopped
  • Check whether the engine turns but will not fire, or will not turn
  • Have the tractor unit model and year to hand

What never to do

  • Do not top up the coolant circuit with the engine hot
  • Do not keep cranking — you will burn out the starter
  • Do not pour in additives to seal a diesel leak

Common questions

Questions about this stretch

Send your WhatsApp location even without knowing the kilometre marker: around La Jonquera we identify your position from the service areas and the truck lines. Calls inside the queue get priority because they block a lane.
Yes. We attend the secure lorry parks and petrol stations nearby, plus the parallel N-II where many drivers rest before or after the crossing.
We do not stop for the Tramontana or light snowfall. If the Catalan authorities close the AP-7 to heavy vehicles we tell you on the call and reroute our van via the N-II.

A stopped truck earns nothing. We are leaving now.

One call, your location by WhatsApp, and an HGV mechanic on the way. No call centre in between.
