Do a search for Freightliner. Their web site has a list of all of their dealers and approved shops. BTW: normally the air compressor (I assume you mean the one that supplies air to your tanks for brakes, etc.) is engine specific rather that truck type specific. IE: A Cat C-12 engine uses the same compressor no matter if in a KW, IH, etc. The only difference would be a standard unit vs a heavy duty unit. (larger air quantity measured in cubic feet per minute, or CFM and thus faster tank refilling)
BTW: A common misconception is that air compressors are belt driven. They are not. (at least in a Cat) They are normally connected to the front accessory case of the engine and have a shaft which runs througth the housing to a pulley. Inside the accessory housing, the compressor's shaft has gears that connect to gears that are connected to the crank shaft. The pulley on the end of the compressor shaft is driving the belts, not being driven by them.

the compressors are just as cheap to get a remanufactured one as to try to repair the old one,dont forget a new pressure regulator as well
