Motor City Trailer Repair — Collision Trailer Services

Motor City Trailer Repair provides dependable collision repair for trailers in Livingston County. We routinely repair bent frames, crushed beds, axle and suspension damage, broken couplers, and compromised wiring from roadside incidents or loading accidents. Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles and road salt accelerate corrosion and stress welds, while frequent towing for construction, landscaping, and recreation increases component wear. Our technicians perform comprehensive inspections to find hidden structural or towing-system issues, then prioritize repairs that restore safety, towing capability, and long-term durability for work and leisure trailers.

Service overview

Our collision trailer service is built around full structural restoration and reliable component replacement. We provide precision frame straightening using alignment jigs and computerized measuring when required, followed by certified MIG/TIG welding for plate replacement, section repair, and gusset fabrication. Axle work includes replacement, re-centering, wheel-end service, and bearing and hub inspection. Suspension repairs cover leaf springs, shackles, hangers, and U-bolt replacement. Brake systems receive hydraulic or electric unit testing and rebuilds, and electrical repairs include harness replacement, connector service, and light restorations. Deck and floor repairs or full decking replacement are performed with welded or bolted solutions, and coupler/tongue reconstruction restores towing integrity. Corrosion mitigation, rust treatment, priming, and matched coating protect repaired areas. Every job finishes with load testing, a safety checklist, and documented recommendations so trailers leave the shop ready for dependable hauling.
