Trailer Repair & Custom Trailers in Gainesville, FL

RedLine serves Gainesville

Gainesville is about 30 miles north of our shop, and most customers make the run in 45 minutes or so — SR-121 south to Williston and then US-27 east, or I-75 south to exit 354 and west on US-27 if you're starting from the east side of town. Either way you never deal with Ocala traffic: we're on the northwest side, closer to Alachua County than to downtown Ocala.

Alachua County lakes and the Gulf run

Gainesville boats work hard. Newnans Lake on the east side of town, Lake Santa Fe up by Melrose, and Orange and Lochloosa lakes down by Cross Creek are shallow, grassy water that fills up with bass boats, jon boats and airboats. Plenty of Gainesville anglers also tow west on SR-24 to Cedar Key or up to the Suwannee, which means a freshwater trailer suddenly spends weekends in salt. That mix is exactly where an aluminum frame with stainless hardware pays off.

Common trailer repair jobs from Gainesville

A lot of the boats in a college town change hands used, and the trailer usually comes along as an afterthought. The typical list when one of those shows up: bearings that sat too long, lights that work on one side, rotted bunk boards, a rusted crossmember and a coupler that won't latch clean. We price the repair honestly and tell you when a trailer is worth fixing and when it isn't. See trailer repair in Gainesville for everything we service, from boat trailers to utility, dump, car-hauler and enclosed trailers.

Farm and ranch fab for west Alachua

South and west of Gainesville, around Newberry, Archer and Micanopy, it's cattle and horse country. The same trailers and outbuildings show up here as in Marion County: horse trailers needing floors and dividers, and barns needing trusses. We fabricate pole barn trusses in Gainesville to your span and spacing, weld gates and ranch hardware, and handle horse trailer repair on any make. Trusses are made to order and picked up at the shop, which is a straight shot down US-27 from Williston.

Building a new trailer for your boat

If you're replacing a trailer instead of fixing one, bring the boat. We build single-axle trailers from 16′ to 20′, tandems from 25′ to 29′ and triples from 29′ to 34′, plus airboat and catamaran trailers, and we build custom when a hull falls between sizes. Every one uses the same double-bent aluminum I-beam frame, torsion axles and disc brakes — see our boat trailers.
