Dexter Axle Customer Support

Took rig in today to have bearings lubed and brakes checked. Bearings were lubed 1 yr. ago, have about 22,000 miles on trailer. Dealer called and advised (surprise, surprise) that magnets were shot and drums were too scored to be turned. Estimate about $900!
Called Dexter, and even though a month out of two year warranty, they agreed to pay for all new parts. I am still responsible for labor charges. Dexter rep named Denise was very helpful.

Curious how many miles one should e pet from brakes. I use the exhaust brake in the mountains, but we do travel quite often along the California and Oregon coasts on very curvy roads.
