Motor City Trailer Repair provides dependable refrigerated trailer repair for trailer owners in South Lyon. We routinely address compressor failures, refrigerant leaks, failing thermostats, torn insulation, damaged door seals, and wiring faults that compromise temperature control. Michigan temperature swings, wet roads, and salted surfaces create extra wear on refrigeration components and chassis hardware, while frequent local deliveries and long-haul towing increase service demand. Our technicians focus on restoring precise temperature performance and trailer reliability for grocery deliveries, catering operations, farm transport, and commercial fleets so loads remain safe and compliant.

We perform compressor and condenser replacement, evaporator repair, refrigerant leak detection and recovery, and system recharge following industry guidelines.
