Motor City Trailer Repair provides dependable lowboy trailer repair for trailer owners in Brighton. We address common problems such as deck sag, damaged ramps, bent goosenecks, crossmember failure, axle misalignment, worn suspension components, brake problems, and compromised wiring after heavy hauling. Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles, road salt, and frequent equipment transport add stress to lowboy designs, so our team focuses on restoring structural strength, reliable hitch and kingpin connections, and safe braking performance for commercial and recreational towing. Every repair begins with a comprehensive inspection to find hidden frame or mounting damage and to recommend durable, code-compliant fixes rather than temporary patches.

Motor City Trailer Repair — Lowboy Trailer Specialists

Service overview

Our lowboy repair service covers full structural restoration and systems work tailored to heavy-duty hauling needs. We perform frame straightening, crossmember replacement, and deck plate repair or full deck replacement when necessary. Welding and metal fabrication include gusseting, engineered reinforcement plates, custom brackets, and gooseneck repairs to restore original load paths. Suspension and axle services range from re-centering axles and replacing spindles to rebuilding leaf springs, air-ride systems, and axle assemblies. Brake systems are inspected and rebuilt or upgraded, including hydraulic and electric brake units, trailers’ controllers, and emergency breakaway systems. Electrical diagnostics and rewiring address lighting, harness damage, and connector corrosion. After repairs we conduct load-testing and alignment verification, apply corrosion treatment and protective priming where appropriate, and provide a documented safety checklist so the trailer meets towing demands and regulatory expectations.
