Motor City Trailer Repair — Semi Trailer Service & Restoration

Motor City Trailer Repair provides dependable semi trailer repair for trailer owners in Pinckney. We address bent frames, cracked crossmembers, worn suspensions, axle misalignment, compromised braking systems, damaged floors and lighting faults that come from heavy hauling, loading incidents, or seasonal wear. Michigan winters, road salt, gravel routes and frequent long-distance towing amplify metal fatigue and corrosion, so our technicians emphasize structural repair and reliable towing performance. Every assignment begins with a detailed inspection to reveal hidden issues, followed by a repair plan that restores safety, DOT compliance, and dependable on-road service for local fleets and independent operators.

Service overview

Our semi trailer repair service spans structural, mechanical, electrical, and safety systems to return rigs to full working order. Structural work includes frame straightening with alignment jigs, crossmember replacement, gusseting, plate welding and section fabrication to restore load-bearing capacity. We repair and replace suspension components for air-ride and spring-ride systems, service landing gear and bogie assemblies, and handle axle swaps and re-centering. Brake system work covers slack adjusters, air valves, glad hands, hose replacement, drum and rotor repair, and ABS diagnostics. Electrical repairs include harness replacement, LED light retrofits, connector repair, and trailer-to-tractor electronic checks. For specific trailer types we perform deck replacement on flatbeds, seal and door restoration for dry vans, and tank or chassis repairs for specialty trailers. All welding is performed by certified technicians using appropriate filler metals and procedures, followed by load-testing, detailed documentation, and a final safety checklist before release.
