A trailer spends its life being towed and then ignored until something gives. Wheel bearings, brake magnets, breakaway cables, ramp hinges, floor boards and the wiring at the plug are where the trouble usually starts, and every one of those can be dealt with where the trailer sits instead of towing a known fault down the road.

Call for trailer brake, axle, lighting and bearing work and we quote it first.
Most trailer complaints come down to wiring, brakes or bearings. We establish which of the three it is before anything comes apart, because a lighting fault at the plug and a lighting fault at the axle look identical from the driver seat.
1
Tell us the axle count, whether it has electric brakes, and what the trailer normally carries. A tandem with brakes on both axles is a different job from a single axle utility trailer.
2
We test the plug and the ground first, then follow the harness along the frame, check brake magnets and drums, and feel each hub for heat and play.
3
After the work, every lighting function is checked and the brakes are tried at low speed, so you know how the trailer behaves before it goes out loaded.

Common questions about trailer repair in Athens, GA, covering lights, electric brakes, bearings and what a quote includes.
1
Nearly always a ground fault or a broken wire on that side of the harness. The plug takes the blame far more often than it deserves.
2
Yes. Electric brake magnets, drums and shoes can be checked and set where the trailer stands. Call 800-395-4908 for a quote.
3
Once a year for a trailer in regular use, and sooner if it has been in water. A hub that is hot after a short tow needs doing now, not next season.
4
Yes. Boat trailers get submerged, so bearings, brake hardware and lighting corrode faster and are worth checking before each season starts.

Quote line for trailer brakes, axles, lights and bearings.
Trailers fail in slow motion. A light goes out and nobody minds. A bearing gets noisy and it is put off because the trailer only goes a few miles. Then a hub seizes on Atlanta Highway with a load on and the day is gone. Almost all of it is avoidable with a look over before the busy season rather than during it.
Landscape and equipment trailers around Athens take the worst of it: ramps that get dropped, tie-down points that bend, floor boards that soften where wet grass sits, and lighting that gets caught by loading. Enclosed trailers hide their problems instead, with roof seams and door seals that leak quietly for months. Boat trailers have it hardest of all, because everything that matters goes underwater regularly.
We check the whole trailer, not just the thing you called about: hubs and seals, brake magnets and drums, the harness end to end, coupler and safety chains, jack, springs and shackles, tires including the one underneath. You get told what is urgent, what will last the season and what can wait.
