Keep your trailer safe, compliant, and ready to work with Techworks Trailers in Elkhart, IN. We handle the essentials—brakes, tires, axles, electrical, suspension, repairs, and custom upfits—for contractors, fleets, race teams, municipalities, schools, and homeowners. Many jobs are turned quickly - often within a week - and we stand behind clear, upfront quotes. We also perform DOT and safety inspections (typically about an hour), and we can process warranty work for the trailers we sell, including SureTrac.
Trailer Brakes
Stay legal. Stop straight. Protect your load. Whether you’re running electric drum brakes or hydraulic setups, we inspect, adjust, and replace worn components so you get consistent stopping power. We replace brake pads, service drums and hubs, check magnets and wiring, and test breakaway systems. If your trailer is pulling to one side, heating up a hub, or failing a roadside check, we’ll pinpoint the cause and get you back on the road.
Trailer Tires
Tread you can trust. We replace worn or damaged trailer tires and perform professional installations to the correct load rating. During install we check valve stems, inspect wheels, and torque lugs to spec. If you’re seeing uneven wear (cupping, edge feathering), we’ll investigate underlying suspension or axle issues before they turn into roadside downtime.
Trailer Axles
Bearing the load—properly. From noisy bearings and leaking seals to bent spindles or damaged axle tubes, our team repairs or replaces axles with the right capacity for your trailer. Many axle services can be scheduled the same day once parts are in; specialty axles may require a special order. We’ll outline options and lead times up front so you can plan work around your rig.
Trailer Repair
From leaks to full rebuilds. Bring us your punch list—roof leaks, roof reseals (recommended every 4–5 years), frame repairs, flooring, doors, and general hardware. We also perform DOT and safety inspections; if your trailer fails, we’ll provide a prioritized repair plan and help you pass on re‑inspection after we complete the work. Typical shop throughput averages about a week, depending on season and workload.
Trailer Suspension
Smooth, stable, and aligned. Worn leaf springs, equalizers, bushings, or shackles can cause sway, bounce, and accelerated tire wear. We diagnose noises and ride issues, replace components, and torque everything to spec. Most suspension jobs run 3–8 hours of labor, with typical turnarounds around two days depending on parts and scope.
Trailer Lights & Electrical
Be seen. Stay compliant. We troubleshoot dim or inoperative lights, shorts, and connector issues; replace/upgrade to LED lighting; repair 7‑way/4‑way wiring; and check brake‑light/brake‑controller signals at the plug. Electrical problems are a common reason for failed inspections—let us find the fault and fix it right the first time.
