Motor City Trailer Repair — Flatbed Services & Repairs

Motor City Trailer Repair provides dependable flatbed trailer repair for trailer owners in Fowlerville. We commonly address warped or rotted decking, bent or cracked crossmembers, damaged stake pockets, hitch and tongue distortion, and worn suspension components after heavy hauling. Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles, road salt exposure, and frequent towing for landscaping, farm work, and equipment transport increase stress on flatbeds and often hide structural concerns. Our approach begins with a full diagnostic inspection to uncover hidden damage, then moves into targeted restoration so trailers return to safe, dependable service for daily work and weekend hauling alike.

Service overview

Flatbed repairs at Motor City Trailer Repair cover structural, mechanical, and finish work tailored to each trailer’s use. We replace decking and crossmembers, weld and reinforce frames, repair or replace stake pockets, and fabricate custom brackets or tie-down points. Suspension and axle services include spring, hanger, and U-bolt replacement as well as axle re-centering and bearing service. Electrical repair and brake system service—from light and connector replacement to brake controller testing and hydraulic unit maintenance—are completed with load tests to confirm safe operation. When corrosion is present we remove rust, weld in replacement steel, and apply protective primers to slow future deterioration. Our technicians document repairs, verify load ratings, and balance durability with practical uptime to minimize downtime for contractors, landscapers, and equipment haulers.
