Motor City Trailer Repair — Trailer Brake Specialists

Motor City Trailer Repair provides dependable trailer brake repair for trailer owners in Farmington Hills. Many local trailers suffer from worn shoes, corroded magnets, collapsed hydraulic lines, seized actuators, and intermittent electrical faults after seasonal use. Michigan’s winter salt, stop-and-go towing, and long-haul landscaping or boat towing accelerate wear and expose hidden brake problems. Our technicians diagnose both electric and hydraulic systems, correct mounting and alignment issues, and prepare trailers for safe service on roads and job sites. Every job begins with a thorough inspection and clear recommendations for lasting safety.

Service overview

Brake system service at Motor City Trailer Repair covers complete diagnostics, component replacement, and precision adjustment for electric drum brakes, hydraulic surge systems, and all associated control equipment. We test controllers, inspect and replace magnets, shoes, drums, rotors, calipers, wheel cylinders, hoses, and fittings, and rebuild or replace surge actuators and master cylinders when necessary. Electrical checks include connector cleaning, harness repair, controller calibration, and ABS sensor troubleshooting where applicable. Our shop performs bearing and hub service during brake work and offers line flaring, hydraulic hose fabrication, and corrosion-resistant fittings. When mount points or brackets are damaged, certified welding and metal fabrication restore secure, factory-like mounting surfaces. Final steps include load testing, brake balance adjustment, and a documented safety checklist so trailers leave ready for towing under load.

Local relevance

Owners in Farmington Hills commonly face brake wear from frequent short trips, steep driveways, and winter road treatments that speed corrosion. Landscapers, contractors, and recreational owners who tow often rely on consistent stopping power; a dragging magnet or leaking line can compromise safety and cause uneven wear. Motor City Trailer Repair tailors services to these conditions with rust-conscious replacements, moisture-resistant wiring practices, and brake setups tuned to local towing weights and driving patterns.
