Horse trailer repair in Farmington Hills

Floors, ramps, lights and brakes on horse trailers. We treat floor rot as a safety item, not a cosmetic one.

When is a horse-trailer floor unsafe?

Soft spots, rusted crossmembers and mats that hide wet wood. If a hoof can go through, do not load.

Essential Maintenance Tips

Check the air pressure in the tires before heading out on a trip.

Always check the pressure when the tires are cold. The pressure changes as tires heat up from travel. And don't forget the spare tires. The correct pressure for your horse trailer tires is located right on the tires. Most tire blowouts happen because a tire wasn't properly inflated, so take a few minutes to check before you leave.

Make sure you've got the right tires on your horse trailer.

Horse trailers require specific tires, primarily because of the load they're carrying. Therefore, use tires rated for the appropriate weight.

Overloaded tire

Don't forget to inspect wheel bearings.

Wheel bearing failure is a tire-related issue that can happen while you're traveling. To avoid this problem, plan to service your trailer's wheel bearings every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. Moisture buildup seriously affects the bearing grease, which leads to bearing failure. This is why regular service is recommended.
