F E Trailers

This is going to be the place for all my trailer needs from here on out… after calling around several rv and trailer supply stores, I chose to go with EF trailers. I replaced all the brakes, brake lines, and master cylinder on my tri-​axle boat trailer and these guys were outstanding in helping me outfit the trailer, and the prices/​availability of parts in Stock were the best I found around. I feel that anyone in need of trailer reapirs, or parts, should really consider giving these guys a shot.

Vic and Steve completely took care of me and a bad situation I was put in with the trailer I purchased from somewhere else (Cheetah). This is the third time I have used FE over the years and it’s always a good experience working with them! Thank you Vic and Steve!

mcquaide made up prices giving me different quotes and charging 5 times what my part costs at any other store … Then installed bearings the wrong way which only let me make it 5 miles down the road. Smelled like alcohol and made me feel too unsafe to use my own trailer.

Took a tandem boat trailer into FE for an axle service and safety check. They were disorganized, couldnt recall prior conversations or locate a wheel I had dropped off two days earlier. They promised the service would be done on a certain day and struggled to meet that deadline. Subsequently we have found that not only did they not perform the safety check, they left the trailer braking system low on fluid and in an anything but safe condition. Further, we had asked that the spare tire holder be repaired. They stated it was irreperable and sold us a second wheel carrier. Another trailer repair facility repaired it without much trouble. I dont like leaving negative info, but I fee that FE put us in position to tow our boat in an unsafe condition, the whole reason you have someone repair your trailer is to avoid this situation.

No matter what you need for a trailer, Parts, Service, Repair, or Custom Build, they have it, can get it or will build it for you. Solid, built to last American made. Best on the market trailer for carrying anything you could think of.

They are so friendly and helpful!!! My rebuild job was complex requiring multiple trips they were patient, kind, humorous and kept throwing stuff in for FREE!!! Very professional must others would have nickeled n dimes me to death!!! All my future trailer business is theirs! sorry you guys are stuck with me now!

I don’t know if I can suitably express my gratitude in just a simple review. Everyone I met and talked with at FE Trailers was incredibly nice, professional, and knew what they were talking about.
Here’s a brief outline of what led me to take my trailer to their shop. I have a 44′ 5^th Wheel enclosed car hauler (and yes, it fits in their shop!) that needs an axle replaced. Simple enough, right? Not quite. I had a 2 week timeline to replace the axle with axles that were not specifically built for my trailer. Therefore, FE Trailers had to come up with some way to mount these axles to my trailer, and they came up with something in 2 days from the time I dropped it off. They even thought enough about me to use just bolts, so I can easily put the correct axle in later and remove this one.
They can even weld this mounting bracket in to make it stronger. Overall, I am incredibly impressed with their service and ability to take on a job that no one else would. I will be driving this trailer down to them (a 1300 mile each way road trip) for future modifications as they have shown incredible work and diligence.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! They saved my a$$ on my upcoming road trip/​move. I am so incredibly thankful they are here!!! THANK YOU! Highly recommended, I will send everyone I know here that needs trailer repair, service, modification, or building. Top notch!

Yes yes, I know. This is not a review of food. What’s wrong Ed? Well, I’ve gotta give credit where credit is due. This place does GREAT WORK, so I want to provide an authentic review from a customer.
The ups: I use a Kendon folding trailer to transport my motorcycles to and from the track (supermoto FTW!). I bought it used, and got a great deal on it, but unfortunately it had some wear and tear items that needed mending. A spare wheel was affixed to the bottom of the trailer, and I couldn’t get it off (pegs were bent). The hitch was locked into place and wouldn’t connect to the ball, I couldn’t get the removable jack stand connected, and the brake lights were old and not working properly. Needless to say, Matt and the folks at FE Trailer took care of all these issues, including welding the jack stand mount in place (much more stable) and installing new LED brake lights (that can probably be seen from space) which make my rig way safer, especially at night. All for a great price, and quickly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to a friend.
The downs: It’s in Lakeside, so a bit of a trek from San Diego, but otherwise, no major issues. If you’ve got a big trailer I could see the parking lot being difficult to navigate.
***Yelp bottom line*** If you’ve got a trailer that needs work, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend FE Trailers in Lakeside. They do custom work to, so if you can dream it, they can probably do it, for a price.

I had FE build a new trailer to replace a trailer that had seen way too many Baja back roads under my Gregor Baja special.
I tried out the new trailer today and it was a joy to use, Even with a stiff crosswind the boat went onto the trailer with ease. I found the trailer also tracks well on the road and is in general well built and setup, I didn’t find anything that needed correction or improvment.
All in all I feel like I got my moneys worth and then some with this trailer.
I found the staff at FE to be great, Very professional and helpful, I felt very comfortable dealing with them.

I went over dealt with their so called manager Matt who’s very unprofessional and apparently does not know how to complete an estimate … I told him what I needed done on my ez loader galvanized trailer and he e-​mails an estimate with half the stuff missing I was asking another worker questions like who’s the owner? And is Matt the manager and the worker was reluctantant to answer, I wonder what are they hiding? cause Matt became defensive, Awful in returning calls and obviously has no experience in managing his schedule… nor giving customers answers up front. Don’t recommend at all. The other reviews were probably done by their own employes… ah they were male he probably does not defl well with women!!!

Im Giving these Guys five stars… They really went out of there way to
help me out. Brandon Was the guy to see… Great service. And all
the guys in the back did excellent work on my Trailer.
