Motor City Trailer Repair — Flatbed Restoration & Services

Motor City Trailer Repair provides dependable flatbed trailer repair for trailer owners in Farmington Hills. We commonly handle worn or rotten decking, bent crossmembers, cracked welds, sagging frames, damaged couplers, and brake or wiring faults caused by regular heavy hauling. Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles, road salt, and frequent towing for landscaping or construction work accelerate corrosion and structural fatigue, so our team focuses on restoring deck strength, secure tie-down points, and reliable braking. Each repair begins with a careful inspection to uncover hidden damage that can affect safety and load capacity on the road.

Service overview

Our flatbed trailer repair service covers full structural and functional restoration tailored to steel and wood-deck platforms. We replace damaged decking and crossmembers, reinforce or replace bowed stringers, and perform precision frame straightening and alignment when racks, welds, or sections are compromised. Axle, hub, and suspension work includes bearing service, leaf spring replacement, and re-centering to restore safe tracking and load balance. Coupler and hitch repairs — including plate fabrication and hole realignment — are handled with certified welding techniques. Electrical and brake system work covers rewiring harnesses, replacing lighting and connectors, testing brake controllers, and servicing hydraulic or electric brake units. When needed, our metal fabrication team creates custom brackets, D-ring anchors, and gussets on-site to recover original load ratings. Every project concludes with corrosion treatment, priming where required, load testing, and a documented safety checklist so trailers leave ready for dependable towing.
