Trailer Parts, Service, Sales and Rentals


After 10 years of working out of a 12 x 16 portable building, saving money and looking for the right opportunity, it finally happened! A large parcel right on US Hwy 6, became available, right around the corner from our current location! Plenty of room and a great location! (Click here for a map)

Over the years our business has grown. It has reached a point where it is often standing room only in our little office. We have parts and trailers scattered all over small lots and storage buildings.

Now our customers will have a place to sit down!

So, we have purchased this land, and are building a 7000 square foot parts warehouse, shop and offices! Right now our push it to get in before the bad winter hits. We currently have on of the largest parts inventories in the area, and now they will all be in one location! Our shop will now be inside, with car lift, Tire equipment, full weld shop, paint and Body repair. (Next summer will will be adding a 1600 square foot showroom, but for now we are moving in a large office building.)
