Dry Van & Flatbed
Trailer Repair in Rensselaer, IN
Trailers earn no sympathy and get little maintenance — until the ABS light comes on at the scale house or the landing gear won't crank at the dock. Our Rensselaer shop handles dry van and flatbed trailer repair: air systems, brakes, lighting, doors, landing gear, suspension, and hubs.
Drop the trailer at 9388 IN-114 off I-65 Exit 215, or call 219-964-2869 and we'll come to your yard. Either way, it gets fixed right and documented.
The Usual Suspects, Fixed Fast
Air leaks that drain the system overnight, ABS lamps that won't quit, marker lights out across the rear header, brakes out of adjustment, landing gear with stripped gearboxes, doors that won't seal — we see the same trailer failures every week, which means we stock for them and fix them fast.
Hub and seal work, suspension bushings and air bags, slider mechanisms, mudflaps, and conspicuity tape round out the everyday list. Small stuff, but it's the small stuff that gets you put out of service.

DOT-Ready, Documented
We inspect trailers the way an inspector does, because that's who you're trying to satisfy. Annual DOT trailer inspections with paperwork you can hand over at the scale house or file with the power unit's records.
Every repair is written up clearly — what was wrong, what we did, parts used. No vague line items, no mystery charges.
Yard Service for Fleets
If you've got trailers sitting in a yard in DeMotte, Fowler, Lafayette, or anywhere along the corridor, we'll come work through the list on site. Lights, brakes, air leaks, and PMs without burning a driver to drag each trailer to a shop.
Set up a fleet arrangement and trailer PMs run on your schedule. We track what's due and show up before the roadside inspector does.
Frequently asked questions
Do you repair refrigerated trailers?
We handle the trailer chassis, air, brakes, lights, doors, and landing gear on reefers. For the refrigeration unit itself, call us and we'll advise — some reefer-unit work we refer to a specialist.
Can you fix an air leak the same day?
Usually, yes. Air leaks are one of our most common trailer jobs and we stock the fittings, line, and valves to chase them down quickly.
Do you do trailer DOT inspections?
Yes — annual DOT inspections for dry vans and flatbeds, with documentation.
What if my trailer breaks down on the road?
Call 219-964-2869. Our mobile truck handles trailer air, ABS, lighting, and brake issues roadside, and we can tow the trailer to our shop if it needs more.
Do you sell trailer parts?
We stock common wear parts for the repairs we perform. Call ahead if you need something specific and we'll tell you if it's on the shelf.
