The hubs on my PWC trailer were fine for 10 years. I thought it would be wise to service them, so I took them to East County Trailer Repair. They charged me $521 to replace the driver side hub. I leave from their shop and park it in my garage. I leave for a trip tomorrow and as I pull it out to get ready, the wheel is making noise. Thank god I noticed the noise. As I jack up the trailer the whole damn thing they supposedly repaired came out. Just look at the pictures!! How would they even re-repair this if the trailer is out of commission?? Should I even trust them to re-repair it?? Update: after a few emails and phone calls they sent the technicians over who forgot the cotter pin which caused the hub to come loose. They brought new hubs and replaced it in my garage, promptly. They apologized for the mistake and made sure to not repeat it again. read more

I had considered using this business before, but I opted to support a good friend's startup company instead. In hindsight, that decision quickly backfired, and I now regret not choosing ECTR from the start. When my trailer needed extensive work, including some last-minute repairs and shotty brake/accent light customizations, I ended up searching for a reliable local option to figure it out the correct way! I'm so glad I eventually found them!!! Justin, Kari and their team took excellent care of me and had everything dialed in in no time. Their professionalism, expertise, and quick turnaround exceeded all my expectations. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of quality work on their trailer. read more

East County Trailer Repair - Me with my bad ass new shirt and fully dialed in trailer they got back up and running for me in no time!!! - Boat Repair Near Me - El Cajon, California

ECTR did a very good job on my camper, one day service. Very professional and knowledgeable.

If you drop your trailer off for brakes, you might as well buy new axles would be cheaper than their labor I'll just leave it at that Find another place! read more

I had a tire tack installed inside my trailer by a N. CA shop. The rack was designed to hang on vertical studs....the initial installers at Shop X missed this key feature. I brought the car to East County Trailer Repair to get this fixed before it pulled out of the studs and fell off the trailer wall. In the process they found other electrical problems that I had suspected...they corrected them. They don't just repair trailers, based on my recent experience, they can troubleshoot and fix electrical problems, they do fabrication as required, made me a very slick mount for my trailer's solar panel, and wired it to my trailer's deep cycle battery. They have lots of talent on staff, and their office Manager Christine is a delight. They do lots of other things that you will be amazed to see upon your first visit. I'll say no more: Don't want to spoil your visit. If you need work done on a trailer, and you want it done right the first time, East County Trailer Repair is the place for you. read more

Waste of my time! I took in my trailer and explained that one of the seals was leaking. Also explained that I had already replaced the seal and that it still leaked. Asked them to diagnose and repair. They said it was just a bad seal and that the seal on the other side was bad as well. Even though it was not leaking. So I paid them 400 to replace the seals on both sides. When I got home it was still leaking. I took it back and asked them to again diagnose and repair. They said it was again the seal and they replaced it again, no charge. When I got home it was still leaking. I called them back and they said that they needed to replace the axle, bearings, seals and the hubs to repair it and that it would be 1230.00 for the repair. I asked about the 400.00 I had already paid them and they said it was not their fault that it was leaking. So I guess maybe my 400.00 payment was actually a diagnostic fee. I would be careful with this place. read more

Needed my brakes and bearings serviced on our bumper pull TT prior to a weekend camping trip. Called to set up an appointment and they were a couple weeks out. Appointment date fell the Wednesday before we were to leave, so I had accepted that we may not make it on our trip. Dropped it off and the tech pointed out that my tires were all out of date - super dangerous (good catch). I asked if they could install the LED marker lights I'd purchased but that I hadn't had time for yet, and they had no problem with that. Carrie, one of the owners that had helped me when I first called, was there to get me set up with paperwork and whatnot. She said they would try to get it back to me before my trip. She called me Thursday to let me know it would be ready for pickup Friday morning!! They totally delivered and exceeded my expectations. Brakes were fixed, all new tires, and my lights installed. These guys rock! Don't hesitate or shop around - make the appointment and take it here. Good, honest business that went above and beyond to make sure we could go on our trip. 5 stars! Thank you guys!!! read more

Incredible service!! The guys fixed my seized up trailer in less than one hour!! Unbelievable!! Excellent value and super skilled and knowledgeable guys read more

Great communication with office and techs. They got me in quickly for a possible trailer frame issue. Nick and two other guys gave it a thorough look, pointed out what they saw and explained why they believe it's a trailer wall sag vs frame problem. Straight forward and honest. Much appreciated! read more

The guys over at ECTR are amazing! They treat you like family. When it comes to the fabrication, or the modification of a trailer, they are the people that can handle the work load. I was able to drop off my trailer in the middle of the day without any scheduled appointment. By the end of the day it was ready to be pick it up, completely serviced and ready for the camping season. I would definitely recommend this company to my friends and family. read more

I was hauling a new car down to my boss in San Diego and planning on bringing his old vehicle back to the dealership in Carson City Nevada, when I had a very unfortunate run in with a concrete guard post in a very tight gas station. I apparently bent both the fender and the axle. Three of us, myself, the big boss down in San Diego, and my immediate supervisor back home, were calling various repair shops in the southern CA area. Time and time again these shops had me bring the trailer to them for repairs resulting in my dragging that car hauler trailer on three wheels everywhere from Parris, to Riverside, to Ontario only to find out once I got there they didn't work on axles. Finally two of us called East County and by that time we knew the exact question to ask "if the axle is bent or broken do you repair or replace axles?" Even their receptionist was confident in her providing her answer and I immediately drove from Riverside down to their shop in El Cajon. After all the frustration of dragging that trailer throughout S. CA, two of their guys came out, took a quick look and very confidently told me in no uncertain terms they could repair it for me so that I could get back on the road. They were able to fit me in just two days later, and the confidence that they had displayed they backed up with a fast and excellent repair job. If you need trailer repairs in the Southern CA area, this is definitely the place to go! I will be a supporter of theirs for life! read more

Brought my trailer here because Dustin was recommended by my tire guys. I had an issue with one of my with a spindle assembly for one of my tires. He not only diagnosed the issue very quickly but also fixed the problem the same day. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! WOW.... talk about quick! Also, very nice and personable guy. ANd his staff is the same too. Glad I found an awesome company like this for my trailer maintenance. read more

Thank you for scheduling me so quickly after purchasing a new travel trailer. I needed scissor stabilizers, brakes repacked, and new tires. In addition, when picking up the trailer the owner told me I needed a brake controller! Very helpful information!! read more

East County Trailer Repair - My new travel trailer!! - Boat Repair Near Me - El Cajon, California

Excellent work - both times I've used them. The quality of work and service has been great and i watch details very close. I've used them for electrical, bearings, winch replacements, and sizable frame repair. Thank you! read more

I've brought two different travel trailers here now and I don't think i'll ever go anywhere else. they're always super helpful and fast to respond. As soon as I bought my new camper I brought it straight over and they did a full inspection to make sure everything was safe and functioning for me to be able to take it out for its first trip. when another issue popped up right before I was supposed to leave, they had me stop by to take care of it on the spot so I didn't miss my trip. Highly recommend this place! read more

The reviews are right. Dustin, Carrie and team did a great job fitting my Hurricane deck boat to a used trailer I bought. It was a lot of work. Gave me estimates up front, and no surprises. Nice work nice people. read more

They are friendly and honest. I will definitely return. The breaks on my trailer were not working and they realized that it was a broken wire. They could have easily said it was something more expensive. Highly recommend these folks. Plus they have some cool cars there read more

The best trailer repair shop in Southern California! The price, quality and customer service you get from Dustin and Carrie (and crew) is beyond outstanding. I exhaustively searched Yelp and Google before coming here. Brought in my flat bed trailer late afternoon to get a brake and bearing problem looked at, Dustin had me explain the problems and the history of the trailer and then went over everything he would do to assess the issues. Carrie called the following morning with a complete breakdown of needed service, parts and labor, plus she discussed different options depending on my budget. The following day it was ready (yeah 2 day turn-around! unlike dealership shops that have a 2-3 month wait) Dustin went over everything they repaired or replaced and proper maintenance to make the trailer last for years to come. Finding a business and shop run like this (especially in the trailer industry) is like finding a unicorn. Thank you Dustin and Carrie, you guys are awesome!!! read more

I just stopped by this place to get some welding done and Dustin not only stopped what he was doing to help me, he completed my job while I waited! He did a great job at a fair price and I'd definitely recommend him to anyone in need of trailer repairs or welding/fab work. Thanks again! read more

Great customer service and quality workmanship. I have been using EC Trailer Repair for a few years now. I have a boat, and a work trailer. They have serviced both. They always take care of business. They are competitively priced and put out outstanding work. They do custom fab work, as well. I had a serious issue with my tow post on the ski boat. The factory post did not hold up to pulling four kids on a tube. Dustin fabbed up a new system for my boat, and it is awesome. It's not often you feel a sense of trustworthiness with service shops. To the contrary at EC Trailer Repair. These guys are straight arrow, and communicate very well. read more

Carrie, Dustin and Tony are great. Dustin and Tony were with Aros Trailer for years. They maintained my boat trailer there. I had my trailer in for service and discovered I needed rotors, calipers and pads. Great job. Upon arriving home with the trailer I realized that a Buddy Bearing had fallen off. Evidently that can happen if the original bearings were used. I took the trailer back and Dustin installed all NEW Buddy Bearings at no charge. Super service and care. read more

Had our four-horse trailer serviced (brakes, lights, hitch) to be ready for fire season. Dustin did a great job and ensured the trailer was safe and ready to go! He also repaired (welded) our broken pipe rails for our arena and horse stalls. We found out he also works on Bobcat (Polaris) ATV's! He comes to you which makes it very convenient! Highly recommend this company. Very affordable. Dustin is not only a great guy, but has a high level of knowledge, integrity and professionalism. read more

This place has a 5 star rating for a reason. If you need trailer work this is where it's at! Thanks for the bearings!

I came in to buy a shackle for my trailer (they service trailers and repair them and do not sell parts as much) Dustin was there and immediately gave me the shackle i needed. I offered to pay for the part but he said its no problem. This kind of generosity is 2nd to NONE in my books! absolutely made my day and I will bring him all my trailers for service and repairs from now on! Thank you so much Dustin! read more

East County Trailer Repair was an absolute pleasure to work with. Dustin, Carrie, and the whole team are so knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. My company has been struggling to find a place to bring our trailers for years and I am so thankful we found them! They were great communicating what was wrong with the trailer and were quick to make the repairs (even after I told them it was no rush). They were very accommodating to my schedule which was so helpful because we are in our busy season and have been short on time. I cannot say enough positive things about the work that was done on the trailer. They explained everything that was needed before making any repairs, then, after the repairs were made, they showed me everything that was fixed. I highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of trailer maintenance or any of their services. And, they travel for a very reasonable fee. I found their prices to be extremely competitive and fair. Thanks guys! read more

I found them off Google search & was I surprised when Dustin quoted me a price for some work on a 6.7 turbocharged diesel RAM 2016 3500 , he told me 45min and we're elated when he had everything done in his quoted time. Highly recommend East County Trailer Repair!!!!!! read more

Dustin fixed our horse trailer. He did an awesome job. Now I feel safe again with Molly and Marisa in the back. Thank you!

Avoid this place. Go somewhere else. The owner got into a rage because I told him I had a concern about the fix he performed on my trailer. Threated to cut up my trailer all over 2 welds he didn't do.. A bar on my double jetski trailer rusted out into 2 pieces. Figured water got into the bar and rusted from the inside out.. Took it there. The owner looked at it and we decided on a plan on how to fix it. Great. Told me cost $680 fine. The problem. 2 days later. Went to pick up trailer. It was parked outside. So I inspected it and noticed he only welded 3 corners so it exposed and opening so water can get back in and do the same as before. So I went into shop and said I have one concern and before I could finish the next word the owner flew into a rage. Started calling me names yelling saying he spent so much time on trailer. He treating to cut off the pieces and I could go somewhere else. At that point I told him to do it because I didn't want to give him any money. Then he said he would chop up my trailer and toss it into the street. His wife was there and was on his side blaming me. The while time they never listen to what my concern was. Finally after all the yelling from him I told his wife it's just 2 welds and you guys are acting like assholes. He finally took the trailer and welded to 2 spots . Never going to that place ever read more

Had them service my boat trailer. Got new bearings, etc. Turns out only one of 4 breaks was working. The owner Dustin is a great guy and knows what he does. He also offers 24h mobile emergency service. Very affordable too. Highly recommended. read more

We needed some new tires and bearing repack for our travel trailer along with some custom battery box work. They did a fantastic job, were extremely fast, and great to deal with. We're extremely happy with the work and glad we found a place that can do custom metal work. read more

Good News! A quality company with knowledgeable employees that treat customers with honesty and respect. I wish EC Trailer had been my first choice for repairs. They were upfront about repair times and completion schedules. If I had gone here first my repairs would have taken days and not weeks. I am paying time & money for not making EC Trailer my first choice. Learn from my mistake, repairs should not take a month when you are told 2 weeks by the guy down the road! read more
