Exceptional service. We were headed back to Atlanta from TN and one of our tires flew off our camper while going down the highway. We called serval camper places who said they could not help us. I called CTR and they told me to bring it in but it could take a couple hours to get to it. I was just happy to have someone look at the damage. CTR fixed my camper up in no time. The staff was friendly and the price was much more reasonable then I expected. Graham and Russell went above and beyond and were extremely knowledgeable. I am so thankful there are good people and businesses still around.

Had the team modify an old jet ski trailer for me to use as a kayak hauler. They extended the tongue for me and even painted it to match the trailer. They did quality work and gave a fair price.

I was new to trailering and got myself in a bind a few miles down the road from where I purchased a trailer from Company. Kevin took the time to come to my location and help educate me on my new trailer, help me out of the bind. I love the trailer and appreciate the "fatherly coaching" we all need at times. Your hitch is the pivot! Proper tie off points! Don't have jack down while loading! So basic, but I bought my first trailer from them, how was I to know?! Thanks team! You really helped a person out today when he needed it. Matt

Excellent customer service. We were on the road in our 5th wheel RV and one of the trailer brakes went out in a really small Virginia town. I called ahead and spoke to Russell in Chattanooga and they had what we needed and could fit us in and put it on the following day when we arrived to town. Steve, originally from Lubbock, TX, vectored us in, jacked us up, and put on the new brake within 20 minutes! The price was cheaper than we paid a mobile RV guy to just tell us what was wrong! Nice people, family owned, and went out of their way to get us back on the road within an hour. Many thanks guys!
