Heavy Equipment Repair in Kingsland, GAOver the line, still our territory.
Equipment and diesel repair in Kingsland and Camden County, Georgia. Three I-95 exits, a submarine base that employs thousands, and a fourteen hundred acre commerce park with rail on it.
Camden County work, straight up I-95 from our base.
Kingsland sits about three miles north of the Florida line with I-95 running through its eastern side and US 17 through the middle of town. Three exits serve it: exit 1 at St. Marys Road, exit 3 at GA 40 and King Avenue, and exit 6 at Laurel Island Parkway. That makes it easy to reach and it makes it a genuine regional hub rather than a border town.
The dominant employer in Camden County is Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, with over nine thousand people between active duty, federal civilians and contractors. The Franklin Gate is roughly seven miles from exit 1. Lockheed Martin has a defense presence in the county as well. That is a lot of institutional work and a lot of contractors coming and going.
West of exit 7 there is Coastal Georgia Commerce Park, over fourteen hundred acres zoned industrial with rail service from First Coast Railroad and utilities out of the City of Kingsland. First Coast Railroad also interchanges with the St. Marys Railroad here. Rail served industrial ground with room to develop means site work, and site work means equipment.
Crossing the state line is not a problem. Camden County is a normal run for us up I-95, and Kingsland is closer to our base than several Florida towns further inland. Being in Georgia does not change what the truck carries.
Excavator repair in the field, truck pulled up alongside.
Boat diesel engines on the St. Johns, the Intracoastal and the trailer. Cooling, fuel, exhaust, starting faults and engine work dockside or in the yard.

Questions we get
Kingsland equipment repair questions.
Do you cross into Georgia?
Yes. Kingsland and Camden County are a normal part of our service area. It is a straight run up I-95 and closer than several of the Florida towns we cover.
Which I-95 exits serve Kingsland?
Exit 1 at St. Marys Road, exit 3 at GA 40 and King Avenue, and exit 6 at Laurel Island Parkway. Exit 7 at Harrietts Bluff is listed under Woodbine rather than Kingsland.
How long is the drive from your base?
Around eighty minutes on a normal run. The variable is getting through Jacksonville rather than the interstate miles north of it.
Do you work at the naval base?
We service contractors and equipment in the area. Access to the base itself is controlled by the base, so any credentialing or escort requirements are the customer's side of the arrangement.
Do you service equipment at Coastal Georgia Commerce Park?
Yes. It is over fourteen hundred acres of rail served industrial ground with development activity, and equipment there is inside our normal area.
Do you do roadside truck repair on I-95 in Camden County?
Yes. Tell us the mile marker and the direction of travel when you call, and whether the truck is in a safe place to work on.
What equipment do you repair in Georgia?
The same as in Florida. Excavators, dozers, loaders, skid steers, backhoes and telehandlers, plus diesel trucks and marine engines.
Is being out of state a problem for parts or billing?
No. Common wear parts are on the truck and anything else gets sourced the same way it would in Florida.
Tell us the machine, the symptom and where it sits. If we can help, you will know on the first call. If we cannot get to you in time to do any good, we will say that too.
