    Trailer Repair Shop near Springfield, MO

    Can anyone recommend a good trailer repair shop in or near Springfield, MO? Towed my boat to Hydrotec yesterday to have the motor rebuilt and smoked a bearing on the way there. At the very least, will need new bearings and likely damaged the spindle as well. EZ loader trailer if that matters. Plan is to let Hydrotec do their thing, then have it towed to a repair shop where I’ll pick it up once it’s done.

    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​

    Indeed. It was a long day.

    JWM Trailer Sales in Reeds Spring has done lots of work on my trailer. Bill is the guy you want to speak with.

    They aren't difficult to fix, you could easily change the hub and bearings out in your driveway.

    Yes, but it's currently 200 miles from my driveway, and is a single axle trailer. Only way to get it home is to have it towed, and it would likely cost less to have it fixed where it is than to have it towed home and fix it myself. Also, without tearing into it, I don't know how bad the damage is. If I knew it just needed bearings and a hub, I'd get the parts and drive back up there and fix it myself.
