Trailer repair
Trailer repair at Fly Fix
A trailer sits for months, then gets loaded and sent down the highway.
That is when dead lights, dry bearings and worn tires show up, usually at a bad moment.
We work on utility, flatbed, cargo and car-hauler style trailers at our Provo shop.
We go over the parts that carry the load and the parts that keep it under control.
Symptoms
Signs your trailer needs a look
Lights not working
Dead brake lights, turn signals or markers often come from a bad plug, ground or wire.
Hot or noisy hub
A hub that runs hot or hums on the road can mean a dry or failing wheel bearing.
Uneven or cracked tires
Wear on one edge, cracks or old sidewalls can point to alignment or axle trouble.
Sagging or leaning
A trailer that sits low or leans to one side may have a tired leaf spring or bent axle.
Weak or no brakes
Electric brakes that grab late, drag or do nothing need testing before the next load.
The process
How the job goes
Walk around
We look over the frame, tires, hubs, lights and hitch hardware together with you.
Test the systems
We check the plug, test the lights and brakes, and spin each wheel to feel for play.
Explain and quote
We show you what is worn or loose and quote the repair before we start work.
Fix and recheck
We repair or replace parts, repack bearings if needed and retest everything.
In detail
What trailer repair can include
Wiring repairs run from a new plug to a full harness, with grounds cleaned and connections sealed.
Wheel bearings and seals are cleaned, repacked or replaced, and hubs are checked for play.
Leaf springs, shackles and axles are inspected, since they carry the whole load.
Electric brakes and the breakaway system are tested, along with the coupler and chains.
Fenders, tires and tie-down points get attention too, so it is ready for the next trip.

Questions
Common questions
Should I check my trailer before a canyon trip?
Yes, steep grades are hard on brakes, bearings and tires.
A check beforehand is easier than a breakdown on the road.
My trailer lights flicker. What is wrong?
Usually it is a poor ground, a corroded plug or a damaged wire.
We trace the fault and repair it, instead of just swapping bulbs.
Do you work on car haulers and flatbeds?
Yes, we service utility, flatbed, cargo and car-hauler style trailers.
Text us and describe yours, and we will tell you what to bring.
