No appointment is needed to browse the sales lot during business hours; walk-ins are welcome. For service work, we recommend calling ahead at (209) 270-5564 or submitting a service request through our website so we can schedule your trailer, order parts if needed and give you a realistic timeline.

Pricing is listed publicly on each unit page at thetrailerspecialist.com, so you can see the price for a specific trailer before you visit, and we keep a 'Trailers on Sale' section for current deals. Costs vary by brand, size, GVWR and options such as ramps, tarps or hydraulics. For service and parts, call for a free quote on your specific job.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. We offer financing applications through our website, and we also provide rent-to-own through C3 Rentals, LLC for customers where traditional financing isn't the right fit. C3 offers instant prequalification with a soft credit check on trailers priced between $2,500 and $20,000, with no early payoff penalties. Applicants must be 18 or older with a valid U.S. ID.

Can I rent a trailer instead of buying one?

Yes. We offer trailer rentals for work projects and weekend jobs, with well-maintained units ready to go. Rental availability and booking are handled through our online rental portal at thetrailerspecialist.hqrent.com, which you can reach from the Rentals link on our website. If you're unsure which size fits your load or tow vehicle, call (209) 334-9600 and we'll help you choose.

What service and repair work do you perform?

Our service center handles hitch installation, brake controller installation, brake repairs, bearing packs, electrical wiring, aluminum and steel welding, warranty work, insurance jobs and spring tune-ups. We service dump, equipment, utility, horse and livestock trailers, plus full RV service from small travel trailers to larger motorhomes. You do not need to have purchased your trailer from us.

Do you work on trailers I bought somewhere else?

Yes. Our technicians have over 30 years of experience troubleshooting and repairing all sorts of trailers and RVs, whether or not the unit came from our lot. Bring it to the service center at 25575 N Highway 99, Acampo, and we'll walk you through the repair plan, the parts needed and the expected timeline before work begins. Call (209) 270-5564.

What parts do you stock?

Our parts department carries trailer and RV components including brake parts, brake controls, axles and components, bearings and seals, suspension parts, couplers and coupler locks, jacks, fenders, lights, batteries, tie-down accessories and towing accessories. If we don't have an item on the shelf, our parts staff can help source the right component. Parts hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm.

What should I expect when I visit?

You can walk the lot and inspect trailers in person, compare brands and sizes side by side, and talk with a salesperson about GVWR, deck length, axles and options that match your truck and your load. Many customers complete a straightforward purchase in a single visit. Parking is on site at the lot off N Highway 99, with room for trucks and tow rigs.

How do I choose the right trailer for my truck?

Start with what you haul, how heavy it is, and your tow vehicle's rating, then we match GVWR, axle configuration, deck length and bumper-pull versus gooseneck accordingly. We carry everything from light aluminum Aluma utility trailers to heavy Diamond C equipment and gooseneck models. We also publish towing resources on our website and can install the correct hitch and brake controller in-house.

Do you handle warranty work on the brands you sell?

Yes. As an authorized dealer for brands including Big Tex, Diamond C, Aluma, Lakota and Logan Coach, our service department performs warranty work in addition to routine maintenance and repairs. That means you can buy, service and claim warranty coverage through the same local shop rather than shipping your trailer elsewhere. Call (209) 334-9600 or email trailersales@thetrailerspecialist.com.

How long have you been in business and who owns the company?

The Trailer Specialist was founded in 1988 by Wyatt and Carol Gibbs and has served North Central California ever since. In 2025 the business began a new chapter under new ownership while continuing to operate as a family-owned company built on honesty, quality and personal service. Customer feedback is reflected in hundreds of Google reviews from Central Valley buyers.

Do you sell horse and living-quarters trailers?

Yes. We stock horse, stock/combo and living-quarters trailers from Lakota, Logan Coach, Five Star and Elite, including gooseneck slant-load models with full living quarters. Our website lists current inventory with photos and pricing, and our service department supports horse and livestock trailers with brake repairs, bearing packs, wiring and welding. Call (209) 334-9600 to check availability before you drive out.
