Trailer Repair & Maintenance

RT Group's trailer repair shop in Zion, IL fixes dry vans, reefers, and flatbeds — frames, floors, doors, lighting/electrical, ABS, air systems, and structural welding — with drop-and-hook available on-site.

Trailer Repair Built Around Fleet Uptime

Trailers take a different kind of abuse than tractors — dock damage, cracked floors, worn door tracks, ABS faults, and electrical issues in lighting circuits that run the length of the unit. Our techs handle all of it in dedicated trailer bays sized for full-length dry vans, reefers, and flatbeds.

Trailer Services We Provide

  • Frame repair and structural welding
  • Floor replacement and repair
  • Roll-up and swing door repair and track replacement
  • Lighting circuit and wiring harness repair
  • ABS system diagnostics and repair
  • Air system repair (brakes, suspension, door seals)

Because RT Group owns the yard the shop sits on, drivers can drop a trailer for repair and hook to another unit without losing a shift waiting on it. We're a straight shot for owner-operators looking for truck repair near US-41 (Skokie Highway) to avoid Tri-State tolls, as well as fleets coming off I-94.

“I’ve been to a lot of shops, and RT Group is one of the few that actually does what they say. Rolled in with an issue on my trailer — no lights, busted wire. They got me in quick, showed me exactly what was wrong, and had it fixed that same day.”

“Brought my Freightliner Cascadia to RT Group after an air leak and brake issues. The mechanics found the problem quickly, explained what needed to be repaired, and got the truck back on the road the same day. No guessing, no unnecessary work, no surprise charges.”

“Great people working. Very professional and do quality work. We came in for some electrical issues on the trailer after another road service made a big mess there. They found the problem and fixed it quickly. Highly recommend this place.”
