Hot hub or bad bearing? Stop driving. We come to you.
A hot hub, rumble, wheel play or grease on the rim needs attention before another long tow. We inspect the wheel end where the trailer can be reached safely, then discuss bearing, seal, hub or spindle repairs for commercial, utility and boat trailers in Broward.
Confirm availability and service-call rate before dispatch.

What does trailer bearing replacement cost?
Bearings are cheap. What they take with them is not. Caught early this is a repack and a seal; left too long it is a spindle, a hub, a drum and sometimes an axle. That gap is the whole reason we would rather see a warm hub than a smoking one.
| Factor | Why it moves the number |
|---|---|
| Repack or replace | Clean, inspect and repack with new seals is the low end. New bearings, races and hub is the high end. |
| What the heat did | A seized bearing scores the spindle. That is a different repair, and we will show you the part. |
| How many wheel ends | Priced per end. Doing all of them while we are there costs less than separate visits. |
| Oil bath or grease | Different seals, different labor, different mess. |
| Drum condition | Pulling a hub means looking at the drum. Out of spec, we will say so rather than reassemble it. |
| Roadside or at your yard | A wheel end on the shoulder of I-95 is not the same job as one on your lot. |
| Saltwater exposure | Boat trailers that get dunked corrode from the inside. Expect seals, and sometimes more. |
We quote before we start and we do not begin work you have not approved. We do not publish ranges here, because the same job varies too much by trailer, access and hour — call and we will give you a number for your unit.
How do I know a bearing is going?
A failing bearing gives you warning: heat, noise, play or grease where there should not be any. Pull over and check when you notice any of these, because the failure that follows is not gradual.
| Sign | What it means | Keep driving? |
|---|---|---|
| One hub much hotter than the others | Bearing running dry, or a dragging brake | No |
| Growl or rumble that changes with speed | Bearing surfaces breaking down | No |
| Wobble or play when you rock the wheel | Loose or worn bearing, damaged spindle | No |
| Grease slung around the inside of the rim | Failed seal — the bearing is losing lubrication | Stop where safe; call before towing farther |
| Smoke or a burning smell at one wheel | Bearing already failing under load | Stop now |
| Dark brown grease in a boat trailer hub | Water ingress after launching | Get it serviced before the next tow |
Tell dispatch which wheel and what you noticed. Heat and noise point to different parts, and it changes what rides on the truck.
How often should trailer bearings be serviced?
Semi trailers: inspected at every PM, hub service on condition and mileage rather than a calendar. Port and drayage units wear faster than line-haul.
Utility trailers: once a year for anything working daily, and before any long tow.
Boat trailers in saltwater: inspect yearly and plan on replacement rather than repacking if it launches often. Salt gets past the seal and does not leave — see boat trailer service.
Can a hub be serviced at the roadside?
Where the trailer can be blocked and lifted safely, yes — that is a normal roadside job for us on I-95, I-595, I-75 and the Turnpike. Where the shoulder is too narrow or the ground is soft, dispatch can discuss safe access with responders; an authorized recovery service may be needed before repair. We will not put a tech under a trailer next to live lanes to save an hour.
