When your trailer brakes drag, squeal, or don’t hold on a grade, you feel it. At Total Trailer Solutions, LLC in Kimberly (serving Twin Falls and the Magic Valley), we diagnose and repair electric and hydraulic brake systems for utility, cargo, horse, equipment, and RV trailers. From magnets and shoes to wiring and breakaway kits, we get you stopping straight and safe.

Weak trailer brakes increase stopping distance and can overload your tow vehicle brakes—especially on canyon grades and farm roads. If you notice pulling, hot hubs, or the controller maxed out, schedule an inspection immediately.

FAQ

How often should I service trailer brakes?
-At least once a year or every 12,000 miles. Agricultural/dusty use may require mid‑season checks.

My controller shows an error—can you diagnose that?
-Yes. We test controller output, wiring harnesses, grounds, and the 7‑way plug. Many issues are wiring or magnet resistance.

Do you handle hydraulic/surge brakes?
-Yes—actuators, lines, cylinders, and bleed procedures.

Do you machine drums/rotors?
-We measure and machine when within spec; otherwise we replace.
