    I'm mid trip and have trailer ABS issues.
    No corrosion on terminal points and all connections are firm.
    I don't wanna trust a TA flunkie to hold me up for 12hrs just to put bubble gum on it.
    Has anyone used Sapp Bros garage before for tech issues, or should I look for a better alternative?
    Needs diagnostic computer hooked up to pinpoint what's wrong.

    Thx.

    I’ve had ABS issues fixed by TA and Loves, both did good repairs. The issue involved the sensors being rusted in place. Both can fix them. If they have to fix the sensor, just make sure they use all the parts in the envelope. The sensor, spacer and lube.

    Ok. I called a Loves to "inquire" , but they hemmed and hawed like it might be out of their wheelhouse.
    But that helps.
    I'll just make sure to choose somewhere close to an area where they don't have to make a 4hr parts run.

    Appreciate ya!

    The only experience I've had with Saap Bros. was in SLC, UT. I had them rotate 4 wide base single drive tires (flipped the tire on the rim) within 1 week 1 of them had a bubble on the side wall. Took it to Speedco the guy has me come look. The bead was completely destroyed by Saap Bros. and that's what caused the bubble. Will never run wide base singles again and will never go back to that Saap Bros.

    Got lucky and whipped into the new Loves on 29 just south of Council Bluffs.
    Big 2 bay service garage and 3 techs doing nothing.
    Told them how I had already self diagnosed.. but needed a computer for 100% reliability.
    They put me right in, and I was gone in a little under 2 hours.
    Wheel sensor.

    I def recommend those fellas for normal repairs.

    Also.. he said if anyone needs tires, he needs to move some.
    He's willing to deal.

    I picked up a trailer a couple of days ago and the yellow ABS light on the side has been on the whole time. TA in London Ohio fixed it today.

    "Hooked up trailer tester and found code active for yellow 1 sensor open or short circuit. Spun wheels to see which sensor was not reading. Found that right front wheel speed sensor was bad and replaced it."

    The part was TDA R955335 ABS sensor kit for $87.99.
