Trailer Parts in Bristol, IN
Bristol parts customers walk in mostly for the small things that strand a trailer at the launch - wheel-bearing kits, brake magnets, hub-and-drum assemblies, and trailer lights. Our counter is 8 miles from downtown Bristol on SR-15, and the parts you actually need are almost always in stock.
Trailer Parts for Bristol customers
Walk-in trailer parts counter stocked with the OEM-Dexter and equivalent components your trailer actually needs - not the automotive substitutes the chain auto-parts shops carry. Hubs, bearings, brake assemblies, lights, jacks, couplers, suspension parts, and electrical hardware all under one roof.
What we see from the Bristol market
Bristol is small-town Indiana with big-water access. The river launches and the proximity to the Michigan lakes mean we see fishing boats, pontoons, and ski-boat trailers all spring and summer. The rural area north and east of town also brings us a steady mix of horse trailers, farm utility trailers, and the occasional gooseneck.
Boat trailers out of Bristol live a hard life - submerged hubs at every launch, road salt on the way home, and long winter sits. We recommend yearly bearing service, period. Skip a year and you'll likely lose a bearing on a Friday afternoon halfway to the lake. The repack costs less than a single new hub.
