I was towing my 15 year old pop up from San Diego to the bay area, and then to Yosemite. While on the I-5 I noticed that the trailer was getting lower and lower in my rear view mirror. I pulled over and found that the A-frame on the trailer was cracked through and completely dbroken free on one side. I called Heppners in Los Banos, and they said to bring it by. I limped to their shop trying to avoid losing the trailer. They looked at it and said," no problem, come back in 3 hours". I took the family to a long lunch. Came back 3 hours later and the trailer was welded up, reinforced at the break, and also reinforced near the tongue.
If I had taken this to a trailer dealer, they probably would've charged a ton, or refused to do it due to the age. Definitely wouldn't have it done same day. These guys saved a Yosemite trip with my family, and it only cost us some steel and 2.5 hours labor, about $220. Fair pay for excellent work! That area is now the strongest part of the trailer frame. Thanks, guys. read more
