Motor City Trailer Repair — Professional Heavy-Duty Service

Motor City Trailer Repair provides dependable semi trailer repair for trailer owners in Livingston County. We routinely address bent frames, cracked crossmembers, worn axles and bearings, failing landing gear, damage to brake and ABS systems, and compromised wiring harnesses. Michigan winters, road salt, and heavy towing loads from construction, agriculture, and freight work accelerate corrosion and fatigue, so our inspections focus on hidden damage that affects safety and load ratings. Our goal is to restore towing reliability and prevent roadside failures for commercial fleets and independent haulers alike.

Service overview

Our semi trailer repair service covers structural, mechanical, and electrical systems required for safe heavy hauling. Structural work includes frame straightening, section replacement, gusseting, and plate welding to restore original strength and alignment. We rebuild landing gear and fifth-wheel interfaces, replace or recondition axles and hub assemblies, and overhaul suspension components including air-ride systems, leaf springs, and torque rods. Brake service ranges from pad and rotor replacement to full ABS diagnostics, hydraulic line repair, and calibration of electric/hydraulic actuators. Electrical repairs cover harness replacement, LED lighting upgrades, connector restoration, and trailer-to-tractor interface testing. We also fabricate custom brackets, repair trailer floors and decking, and provide corrosion control with surface prep and protective coatings. Each repair is completed with load and road testing where applicable, a documented safety checklist, and recommendations to prevent recurrent issues under heavy use.
