Trailer Repair Shop Serving Placentia, California

The towable side of the business splits into two families. Recreational towables, meaning travel trailers, toy haulers, expandables, hybrids, off-road units and destination trailers, share EPDM or TPO roof membranes, laminated or stick-built sidewalls, Dexter or AL-KO axles and RV-grade appliances and plumbing.

Commercial towables, meaning utility trailers and enclosed cargo trailers, are simpler in systems but harder on structure. They see overload, curb strikes, loading dock contact and years of salt and irrigation spray, so the work runs toward cross members, spring hangers, deck boards, skin panels and wiring rather than cabinetry.

We take both because the underlying skills overlap. A cracked A-frame gusset is welded the same way whether it sits under a toy hauler or a landscape trailer, and a leaking roof seam still starts with cutting out the failed sealant instead of smearing new caulk over it.

Tandem trailers hide their failures. An equalizer with a worn bushing quietly transfers load to one axle, which then scrubs tires, cooks a bearing and bends a spindle. By the time an owner in Placentia notices uneven tire wear, the hanger welds have often started to crack at the toe.

A-frame and coupler damage from a jackknife or a curb drop is measured, not eyeballed. We check the tongue for twist, verify the coupler height against the loaded frame line, and cut and replace sections rather than heating and bending a member back into rough alignment.

Suspension and brake work is finished with a loaded road test on our own property and a brake controller check so the electric drum magnets actually pull evenly instead of grabbing one side and pushing the trailer around behind the tow vehicle.

Most trailer water damage traces back to five places: the front and rear roof radius, the termination bar along the roof-to-sidewall joint, the vent and air conditioner openings, the entry door frame and the marker light bases. We find the entry point before we replace anything soft.

Sidewall delamination gets injected and clamped where the substrate is still sound, and gets opened, dried and rebuilt with new luan or Azdel where the wall has gone spongy. Patching over a wet wall just moves the failure six inches down the panel.

Refinishing runs from a single blended panel after a curb scrape to a full exterior repaint on a destination trailer that has sat in Southern California sun for a decade. Everything is sprayed in the booth so the finish is not fighting wind, dust and pollen.
