Repair Service Recommendation, Harpursville NY

Our trailer disc brakes are not working and was wondering if there are any MOCers in the area who have recommendations of repair/service dealers in the area.

Thanks in advance...

OMG: Just something else to go wrong. I once had the electrical connector come loose for the electric brakes. I happened to be passing a roll off tow truck. I ended up sorta cutting him off to pull into the rest area 1/2 mile away. Very unsettling feeling and I still feel bad for the tow driver to this day.
Thankfully the prodigy controller let me know with a N.C. Unfortunately I had no choice with the decision I made with LOTS of pressure truck brake pedal on the incline to the rest area. Scared the crap out of me, still glad it was an incline and not down HILL.
I couldn't imagine having to worry about another sub system. Although probably superior to the electric drum brakes. Thought about it retrofitting the current 2003. But there are so many other upgrades I would like to do before this.
It is never ending the options available to us.
I think the first thing is to do my Stabilizer upgrade.
Then maybe a softer hitch set up for over the road.
And others follow. But This is a separate thread. Which got me thinking.

Which system do you have? Carlisle or Titan? If Carlisle, do you have a CAM Module to interface between your controller and the hydraulic pump? We had an issue a couple of years ago, everything was fine when we parked at the CG, a few days later hook up to leave and no brakes. Don't know why, but our CAM Module quit, once replaced everything was fine. I now carry a spare since I have no idea why it failed.
Can't help with service in that area, I'm a couple hours Northwest.

We are now home in Maine and thanks to all who responded and had suggestions for us.

Jim had the disc brakes put on 5 years ago and they really are fantastic, I believe they are Kodiak. While going down a hill the brakes went, his truck tires were smoking! We were only a few miles from the campground, so we made it there and were not stranded on the road.
We have Good Sams Road Assistance and they were great. One phone call, they set up for the tow, called around and found a place for us and once we approved of the place, they made the appointment for us too. You are definitely not stranded or alone on the road with Good Sams.
We were towed to Larrabee's Truck & Tire Service in Nichols, NY and I can't say enough good things about them. As soon as we arrived the mechanic got right on it. A brake line had broken off and was missing, it could have been a loose bolt, or it could have been our great highways. Called around, they couldn't find the part, MorRyde was trying to cross reference it too. In the meantime the mechanic was able to fabricate us a new brake line, works great, one talented mechanic. We were out of there in 3 hours and back at the campground for the night. If anyone is in that area, I would definitely recommend them.

Again, thanks for trying to help and the concern...
