What This Service Covers
Mobile trailer repair from Albert’s Road Service covers every system on your trailer — brakes, suspension, electrical, structural, landing gear, doors, floors, and specialty equipment like liftgates and reefer units. We come to wherever your trailer is, whether it’s at a distribution center in West Palm Beach, dropped at a yard in Riviera Beach, sitting at a loading dock in Fort Lauderdale, or stranded on the shoulder of I-95.
Our service trucks carry the parts and equipment to handle most trailer repairs in a single visit. That includes brake chambers, slack adjusters, air valves, gladhands, wheel seals, hub oil, lighting components, air lines, and the tools to replace them all. For welding and structural repairs, we roll out with MIG and stick welding rigs capable of handling steel and aluminum work on-site.
We service all trailer lengths and configurations — 28-foot pup trailers, 48-foot and 53-foot highway trailers, doubles, container chassis, and specialty units. If it has wheels and gets pulled behind a truck, we fix it.
Common Problems We Fix
Brake violations and out-of-adjustment brakes. This is the single most common reason trailers get put out of service during DOT inspections. We measure pushrod stroke, replace worn brake shoes and drums, rebuild or replace chambers, and set slack adjusters to spec. See our brake repair page for full details.
Lighting failures. DOT requires all marker lights, turn signals, brake lights, and reflectors to be functional. Florida’s road debris and humidity destroy trailer wiring and lights constantly. We carry complete lighting kits and can rewire a trailer’s entire electrical system if needed. Our electrical repair service covers all trailer wiring issues.
Landing gear failures. Bent legs from dock impacts, stripped gears, broken crank handles, and failed electric motors are everyday calls. We straighten, repair, or replace landing gear components on-site so your trailer isn’t stuck in place.
Air leaks. Leaking gladhands, cracked air lines, and failed relay valves cause slow brake release, dragging brakes, and DOT violations. Our air system repair service tracks down and eliminates every leak.
Floor and structural damage. Forklift damage to trailer floors, cracked crossmembers, torn sidewalls, and damaged rear doors are common in day-to-day operations. We handle structural welding and floor repairs on-site.
Tire and wheel seal issues. Blown trailer tires, low tread, and leaking wheel seals need immediate attention. We carry common trailer tire sizes and wheel seals for quick replacement. See our tire service page for more.
Our Process
- Call 561-475-8052. Describe the problem and tell us where the trailer is located. We answer 24/7 — no voicemail runaround.
- Fast dispatch. We load up based on your description and head out. Typical arrival in the West Palm Beach metro area is 30 to 60 minutes.
- Thorough inspection. We don’t just fix the symptom — we inspect related systems to catch additional issues before they strand you. If we’re doing a brake job, we check every wheel end while we’re under there.
- On-site repair. We fix the problem using quality parts that meet or exceed OEM specifications. No shortcuts on safety-critical components.
- Documentation. We provide detailed service records for every repair, which is essential for fleet compliance and maintenance tracking.
Why Choose Mobile Service
Trailers don’t drive themselves to the shop. Unlike trucks, a broken trailer can’t just be driven to a repair facility. You’d need to arrange a tow or a bobtail to drag it there. That’s expensive, time-consuming, and often unnecessary. Mobile repair eliminates this problem entirely.
Yard repairs on your schedule. If you manage a fleet, we come to your yard and work through your trailers on your timetable. No hauling units back and forth to a shop, no worrying about trailers sitting at a shop lot for days.
Minimize cargo delays. A loaded trailer with a brake issue or a lighting violation needs to be fixed right where it is. Mobile repair keeps your freight moving and your deliveries on schedule.
Florida conditions demand attention. Salt air along the coast from Jupiter to Miami corrodes trailer undercarriages, wiring, and brake components faster than you’d expect. Florida’s intense UV breaks down rubber seals and hoses. And the year-round heat means air system components work overtime. We understand these conditions because we deal with them every single day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can you fix my trailer if it’s loaded at a dock? A: Yes. We repair trailers at loading docks, distribution centers, and anywhere with safe access all the time. Many brake, lighting, air system, and landing gear repairs can be done with a loaded trailer in place.
Q: How do I know if my trailer brakes are out of adjustment? A: If your pushrod stroke exceeds the adjustment limit (typically 1.75 to 2 inches depending on chamber size), your brakes are out of adjustment and you’ll fail a DOT inspection. We measure every brake during service. Call 561-475-8052 to schedule a brake check.
Q: Do you do DOT annual inspections on trailers? A: Absolutely. We perform full FMCSA annual inspections on trailers at your yard. We inspect brakes, lights, tires, suspension, frame, coupling devices, and all required components. See our DOT inspections page for details.
Q: Can you repair reefer trailers? A: Yes, we service Carrier Transicold and Thermo King refrigeration units. From compressor issues to thermostat problems to electrical faults, we diagnose and repair reefer units on-site to protect your temperature-sensitive cargo.
Q: What areas do you cover for trailer repair? A: We cover all of Palm Beach County, Broward County, and St. Lucie County. That includes West Palm Beach, Jupiter, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Port St. Lucie, and everywhere in between.
