Trailer Service in Holland, Michigan

Trailer repair in Holland, from a quick fix to accident damage

Three kinds of work come through this shop: routine service and replacement parts, accessories over the counter, and structural repair after damage. Most of the trailers on the floor were bought somewhere else. Below is what each of those actually covers, so you can tell before you call whether it is a job for us.

Brakes, hubs and bearings

Brakes and bearings are where most trailer trouble starts, and both give warning before they strand you. Bearings run hot or develop a wobble once the grease breaks down or a seal lets water past, which happens fast on a trailer that gets backed down a ramp. Brakes announce themselves by grabbing on one side, fading, or doing nothing at all. We replace brakes, hubs, bearings and wheel seals. Tell us the brake type and axle make when you call, because that decides what we pull from the counter before you arrive.

Suspension and springs

Leaf springs sag, shackles wear oval, and on a tandem the equaliser wears out quietly between them. The signs are a trailer sitting low at one corner, or tyres wearing unevenly across the tread rather than around it. We replace and repair springs, hangers, shackles and bushings, and on a tandem it is worth doing both sides at once, because a fresh spring beside a tired one just relocates the problem.

Tires, wheels and seals, mounted here

We mount here. Every size we carry is listed on the trailer tires and wheels page so you can check before making the trip. Trailer tyres age out as much as they wear out, so a trailer that has sat three or four seasons on its original rubber is worth looking at even when the tread still reads fine.

Jacks, lights and the parts counter

Jacks seize, couplers bend, and lighting faults are the most common reason a trailer fails a roadside check. We replace jacks, couplers, lights and wiring, and we keep parts and accessories in stock rather than ordering everything in. That is the part customers mention most often in reviews, and it is the difference between leaving with the trailer fixed and leaving with a date.

Accident repairs, structural and cosmetic

This is the work not every trailer shop will take. We handle structural and cosmetic damage restoration across all trailer types, which covers bent frames and tongues, damaged walls and skin, and the mounting points that tear out in a collision. If you are working through an insurance claim, call before anything is scrapped, because what looks written off from the outside is often repairable.

Seasonal trailers on the lakeshore

Boats go in and sleds come out, and the trailers that only work half the year are the ones that fail first. Sitting still is harder on bearings, tyres and wiring than towing is. If your trailer has a season, book the service at the end of it rather than the start, when every other trailer on the lakeshore is in the queue ahead of you.

Booking, and what to expect

Call ahead. Describe the symptom rather than the part you think you need, because the fault often sits somewhere else along the axle or the circuit. Bring the trailer with the load off if you can, and mention the axle make if you know it.
