Motor City Trailer Repair — Step-Deck Service and Restoration

Motor City Trailer Repair provides dependable step-deck trailer repair for trailer owners in Hartland Township. Local trailers commonly experience torn deck boards, bent ramps, cracked welds, axle misalignment, and electrical faults from heavy equipment loads and frequent hauling. Michigan’s salty winters, freeze-thaw cycles, and seasonal towing amplify corrosion and hidden frame damage, making timely inspection essential. Our technicians focus on restoring structural integrity, safe hitching, and dependable braking for construction, landscaping, and recreational hauling. Every job begins with a thorough inspection to identify both visible and concealed problems before repairs proceed.

Service overview

Our step-deck trailer service includes complete structural diagnostics and hands-on restoration. We correct frame twists and perform precision alignment using hydraulic straightening equipment, replace or reinforce deck beams and plywood or steel decking, and rebuild or replace damaged ramps and tailgate assemblies. Welding and metal fabrication are core services—gussets, splice plates, and custom brackets are made to restore original load capacity. Suspension and axle work covers bearing replacement, re-centering, leaf spring and hanger repairs, and electric or hydraulic brake system servicing. Electrical repairs include trailer lighting, harness replacement, and connector restoration. Corrosion treatment, surface preparation, priming, and protective coatings preserve repairs against Michigan road salt. Final steps include load testing, brake adjustment, and a documented safety checklist so the trailer returns to service with verified towing performance.
