Where can I find axle repair services in Des Monies?

Axle repair services is a very specialized service which isn’t often available from your local repair shop due to the specialized equipment needed. This often leads to vehicle owners buying brand new axles outright or turning to used parts from junkyards which are a gamble that could cost you much more money in the long run. At Houston Rebuilt Axles, we offer a service that saves vehicle owners money through remanufactured axle repairs complete with a warranty, no matter where you are located.

Custom axle repair services.

Houston Rebuilt Axles can build a custom axle for a hot rod in various styles.  The shop can perform configurations involving cutting down axles, changing flanges for different brake types, disc brake conversion, and more.  

For car owners driving Jeeps, HRA can convert a Jeep 20 type axle into a 1-piece axle type, which will have a ring gear and pinion shaft larger than a Dana 44, giving a stronger axle assembly that bolts right into place.  Houston Rebuilt Axles’ builders have over 75 years of combined experience in the axle business and are able to guide customers in helping them make the best decision for their particular project.

Des Moines is the capital of Iowa and coincidentally the most populated city in Iowa. On September 22, 1851 the city was incorporated as Fort Des Moines, which was later shortened to just “Des Moines” in 1857. The city’s population as of a 2019 census was 214,237. The city is conveniently located on the Des Moines River, which was likely adapted from the early French name, Rivière des Moines, meaning “River of the Monks”.

Des Moines makes up a major center of the US insurance industry and has a sizable financial services and publishing business base. The city was credited as the “number one spot for U.S. insurance companies” in a Business Wire article and named the third-largest “insurance capital” of the world.

In recent years, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, and Facebook have invested in the area by building out data-processing and logistical facilities in the Des Moines area.
