Trailer Repair in Dunlap, IN
Dunlap trailer repair customers are usually residential - boats, motorcycle trailers, ATV trailers, small enclosed cargo. Most are kept under cover but still see weather, and the short trips around northern Indiana don't expose problems until they become breakdowns. Yearly bearing inspection catches almost every failure before it strands you.
Trailer Repair for Dunlap customers
Bearing repacks, electric and hydraulic brake service, hub and spindle replacement, suspension overhauls, and full axle replacement on light-duty trailers up to 10,000 lb. Same-day turnaround on routine work, OEM Dexter parts, and a sixty-plus-year combined experience base behind every job.
What we see from the Dunlap market
Dunlap is residential and family-oriented, and the trailer mix reflects that. Boat trailers, small enclosed cargo trailers, motorcycle and ATV trailers, and a steady stream of utility trailers are typical. The convenience of our location means many Dunlap customers walk in for parts and schedule service the same week.
Dunlap residents sometimes assume the local big-box auto-parts store is the right place for trailer parts. It's not. Trailer hubs, bearings, and brakes are spec'd differently from automotive equivalents, and getting the wrong part costs you a return trip. Drop into our shop instead - same drive time, right parts the first time.
