From humble beginnings to a thriving repair shop, Red Lightning Field Service has always been driven by a vision of quality and integrity. Our founder, inspired by his grandfather’s work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit, established a business that reflects a deep understanding of the trucking industry. He worked 10 years in auto as a mechanic learning about light to medium duty trucks. When he left for an electrical contractor on fleets he received other truck work, spending his weekend expanding his knowledge and expertise. It has always been a dream to have his own shop, so he worked hard knowing it will eventually pay off. After feeling confident, he started a mobile repair shop knowing it would lead to a smooth transition into a larger shop.
