The Spring Works

The Spring Works is a suspension, towing and trailer shop based in Grand Junction, Colorado. You bring the RV or trailer to their shop at 555 W Gunnison Avenue. They say to "Visit our showroom on the Western Slope to discuss your next build or repair."

Their trailer work covers bearing packs, brake service, electrical and wiring diagnostics, DOT inspections, suspension replacement, re-decking and frame repair, along with complete re-wiring and axle flips for extra ground clearance. They also handle leaf springs, airbag systems, leveling and lift kits, and install hitches from B&W and brake controllers from Tekonsha. On the trailer repair side they say, "From RV axle replacements to restoring an older horse trailer, we'll get you back on the road safely and reliably," which covers the camper and travel trailer work an RV owner would bring in. Most jobs on their price list are listed as call for pricing, so ask for a number when you call, and ask too whether they can work on your specific trailer type.

They are open Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm, with no weekend or emergency hours listed. The family-run shop traces back to 1992, and Bryan DuBose, who has been with them most of that time, along with techs who have stayed a decade or more, give it the kind of institutional memory that matters for a trailer with an odd axle setup or old wiring. Google rates them 4.8 stars from 232 reviews.

This is a good fit for an owner near Grand Junction or the Grand Valley who can get the trailer to a shop and wants a crew that has handled leaf springs and axles for decades, rather than an RV owner needing someone to come to them.
