Trailer Repair in Nappanee, IN
Nappanee trailer repair customers split between locally-built RV/coach owners needing component-level service and farm-and-livestock trailer operators from the surrounding Amish countryside. Our experience with both types - and our Dexter inventory matching both - makes us the natural choice for serious Nappanee trailer service.
Trailer Repair for Nappanee 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 Nappanee market
Nappanee customers run the full range. Newmar and the cluster of small RV manufacturers drive component-level orders for axles, brakes, and suspension. The surrounding Amish farms generate steady demand for horse, livestock, and farm utility trailer service. And the Amish Acres / downtown Nappanee tourism draws the small-trailer crowd.
If you've recently bought a Nappanee-built RV or trailer and you're not sure what brand of axle or brake assembly is underneath, photograph the spec plate and bring or email it to us. We can identify the components, source replacements, and get you back on the road. Most Nappanee-area trailers we see are running Dexter or Lippert running gear - both of which we stock.
