Mike’s Inc.:
River to Road Marine & Industrial Solutions

Welcome to Mike’s Inc., your premier partner for comprehensive marine and industrial engine solutions. Based in South Roxana, Wood River, and East Alton, Illinois, we are a leader in the repair of marine engines, heavy-duty OTR equipment, generators, and tractor-trailers. Our family-owned and operated business specializes in a full spectrum of engine repairs and overhauls, providing exceptional service that keeps your operations running smoothly both on the river and on the road.

Our Expertise

At Mike’s Inc., we offer expert repairs and overhauls for complete main engines, generators, and pump engines. Our certified repair technicians tackle scores of complicated major overhauls and installations daily. Whether it’s routine maintenance or complex overhauls, our team brings decades of experience to every project, ensuring your equipment operates at peak performance.

Emergency Service and Advanced Facilities

Our on-call technicians service the entire inland waterway system and are available any time for any emergency—from a blown hose or gasket to catastrophic engine failures. Our facilities are equipped with 2,700-ton and 2,500-ton drydocks to enhance our service capabilities. We also offer floating cranes and tug service for comprehensive logistical support, and we have a fleeting space available to hold your tow while your vessel undergoes repairs. In 2023, we purchased our own riverfront property and in May 2025 moved our entire marine operation upriver one mile to UMR 199.6. This will allow us to expand our operations benefitting both our customers and the community.
