RDI Power started as a mobile unit. Owner Ryan Bethell served fleets between Brooksville and Tampa from a service truck before the shop on Donto Way existed, and that side of the business is how we reach Clermont today. We have no location in Clermont. Technicians drive out with scan tools, parts and repair equipment and fix trucks where they stopped, whenever the repair can be done right outside a bay. Clermont gives them plenty of ground to cover: the city grew more than 250 percent from 2000 to 2020, reaching 43,021 people, with an estimated 50,851 by 2024.
SR 50 between Hancock Road and Hartle Road
Clermont’s heaviest truck traffic is on SR 50. FDOT counts about 8,320 trucks a day on the segment from Hancock Road to Hartle Road, 16 percent of roughly 52,000 vehicles. Hancock Road is also where Lake County’s southernmost Turnpike interchange sits, at Exit 278.
On SR 50, the most useful location details are the nearest cross street and the plaza or business you are closest to. South Lake Hospital, the regional hospital for south Lake County, works as a landmark, and LakeXpress buses run along SR 50 and south on US 27, so a bus stop sign is another reference point. With that much traffic, a truck that gives you any warning should come off the highway into a lot before it quits. A parking lot is safer for the driver, and it gives the technician room to park alongside and work without cars passing inches away.
The US 27 cloverleaf and Citrus Tower Boulevard
US 27 meets SR 50 at a cloverleaf interchange in Clermont, and FDOT counts about 3,840 trucks a day on US 27 between Citrus Tower Boulevard and Washington Street. Cloverleaf ramps have tight curves and little room for a stopped truck. If yours fails on a ramp, turn the hazards on, set out warning devices if you can do it safely and get clear of the truck. Tell us which ramp and which direction. The technician will judge whether it can be worked on where it sits or needs to be moved first, and we will not start a repair in a spot that puts anyone at risk.
Construction trucks on Clermont job sites
Lake County’s Wellness Way corridor spans more than 16,000 acres between I-4, the Turnpike and US 27, planned for up to 15,500 housing units and more than 11 million square feet of non-residential space. The city posted 2026 road work alerts for Wellness Ridge Phase 1a and Wellness Way Ridge. On sites like those, on-site diesel repair saves the most time: a dump truck or water truck that dies mid-site can be repaired where it stands when the ground is firm and there is room to work around it, instead of being dragged out on a wrecker.
Site crews can help by keeping the area around the truck clear, having someone on hand who saw what happened, and leaving the batteries alone after a no-start rather than jumping the truck over and over.
Clermont on-site repairs, from batteries to aftertreatment
A truck that spends its day in SR 50 traffic rarely runs hot enough, long enough, to clean its DPF passively, so it depends on active regenerations. Interrupt enough of them and the filter loads up until the engine derates. On site, a technician can read soot load and regeneration history, look for the reason regens are failing, whether a bad temperature or pressure sensor, an exhaust leak or a DEF dosing problem, and run a parked regeneration when the system allows it. Our exhaust page covers DPF, DEF and EGR work in more detail.
Other repairs that usually end on site: no-starts from batteries, cables or starters; charging faults; air brake leaks and chambers; split coolant hoses and failed belts; plugged fuel filters and air in the fuel system; and sensor or wiring faults behind a warning light. The technician confirms each fault before replacing a part, and the visit is recorded on a digital inspection with photos. If something else turns up during the work, such as a weeping hose or a worn belt, the technician photographs it and writes it up so you can decide when to deal with it, instead of finding it added to the invoice.
Clermont work that goes back to Brooksville
A cracked piston, a transmission that has lost a clutch pack or a front end that needs an alignment rack is not a curbside job on SR 50. When the scan and the tests say the truck needs a bay, the technician tells you so plainly, and we arrange with you how the truck gets to Brooksville and when it can be spared. Nothing found in Clermont is thrown away: the shop starts with the codes, readings and photos the technician already collected. RDI Power stands behind that labor for 3 years or 36,000 miles.
The phone is (352) 433-3800, answered weekdays from 7:00 AM until the shop closes at 4:00 PM, while fleet customers can reach roadside help at any hour. Running a handful of trucks in town? Fleet maintenance in Clermont explains how scheduled yard visits work. South on US 27, our Four Corners mobile diesel repair page picks up the map, and mobile diesel repair describes the program from end to end.
