Trailers are a big deal to Donnie Wezell and Garret Massey of MnW Trailer Repair, so much so that this past December they started a mobile trailer repair business in Fallon. This new company specializes in semi-trailer repairs within a 100-mile radius of Fallon, and provides on-call and emergency services 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Wezell and Massey were both mechanics in the Marine Corp, working on trucks and trailers, and have been servicing semi-trailers ever since. They repair trailer floors, roll-up doors, liftgates, suspension components, auxiliary power units, hydraulic systems and lines, airline brakes, reefer boxes, and just about anything else on a semi-trailer.
They started their business in Fallon because they saw a need here for mobile repair services. The goods that are trailered in and around this valley are important, and so are the trailers that transport them. Downtime can be expensive in the trucking business, further emphasizing the importance of mobile trailer repair work.
Wezell and Massey always wanted to work for themselves. “We have been planning to open a business together for years, and Fallon was the right place to do it,” Wezell said. Being in business for themselves has been eventful and worthwhile - and it's growing. They favor hiring another veteran as the mobile service demand increases, and may even expand into another state as the demand grows.
Wezell also provides mobile windshield repair services for cars, trucks and SUVs, and can work with an insurance company if needed. Repairing a stone chip before it spreads avoids having to replace the windshield down the road. As if he's not busy enough, Wezell also volunteers at an alpaca farm and has a little garden at the William Pennington Life Center. “I like to stay busy,” he said.
MnW's mobile service fees start at $75. The company can be reached by calling 775.205.0738, and more information can also be found on their website, www.MnWTrailerRepair.com and on their Facebook page, www.facebook.com/mobilesemitrailerrepair
