Default Trailex repairs?

Late one night, at a dimly lit gas station, I dinged my CT-7541 right fender so badly that it was chomping on the front tire. After some effort I could clear the tire enough to be able to drive to my destination.

The trailer is insured. When the adjuster added up the cost of parts and labor, they did so incorrectly. And omitted the $400 cost of parts shipping.

The insurer assures me they'll correct the error once I get them specific details from Trailex and the repair shop. Both they and Trailex have been very responsive BUT
I'm having difficulty finding anyone who does Trailex repairs in South/Central Florida. Any recommendations?

Do you just need the fender replaced? Its a pretty easy job to do it yourself. All bolt on stuff. Take it to a standard collision shop and ask them for an estimate. It does not need to be a Trailex place.

Thanks for the Tampa referral!

It needs some re-wiring and some muscle: thought about doing it myself but would prefer a pro job since I drag this thing all over the country.

I've found another trailer place locally but they're not responding in a timely manner.

Just to follow up: I DID get the guys at the local shop in Sebring to look it over. They were efficient and gave me a reasonable job estimate: 4 hours.

The shop is called Iron King. Talk to Clifford. Located less than 4 miles from the gates at Sebring International. Nice guys.
