💥 Attention, our valued North West customers and community, specifically those in the Ebensburg and Altoona Area 💥

The HJ Ebensburg location and operations are being moved to the old Keystone Truck Stop at:
- 122 Keystone Rd, Loretto, PA 15940

Our Loretto (Formerly Ebensburg) location is happy to serve you!

👋👀What does our Loretto location offer?
- Light and Heavy Duty Towing
- Auto Repair Center
- Semi truck and trailer repair and diagnostic repair
- Mobile Repair Services
- Equipment Hauling and Transportation
- Basic and Advanced recovery operations

This location is only about 15 minutes from our old location. We have already moved, and all our equipment and services in this area will now be based out of the Loretto location.

🤔 Why this move was strategic:
- Room for growth: with the property size and shop size, it gives us the room for further expansion and building. This also gives us more room since our old location was undersized for current operations, so it will help us keep up with area demand.

- Strategic location, right off 22, and closer to areas we serve. This will expand service capacity and improve response times.

- Increased shop space for a larger working area for our car, truck, and trailer repair shop. Over time, we can expand and build on this property to stay current and meet our repair center's demands.

- Increased storage and truck parking for a large fleet of wreckers, rollbacks, tractors, trailers, service trucks, and various pieces of equipment for support. Our customers will also have ample room to park when they bring vehicles or equipment in for repair, for a smoother experience.

Stop by and check it out; we are still getting the final touches on our new base. However, our operations in the area are still going strong and are ready to serve you. No lapse in coverage for you or your fleet; HJ has you covered anywhere, anytime, and for Anything!
