Who We Are
Built by Six Generations of Palmers
Palmer Spring Company has been keeping New England moving since 1849—from horse-drawn carriages to today's heavy-duty trucks, buses, and emergency vehicles. Led by fifth-generation owner John Palmer, with sixth-generation family members Joseph and Will Palmer continuing the tradition, we specialize in the leaf springs, suspension, brakes, and driveline work that keeps municipal fleets, fire departments, ambulance services, and commercial trucking companies running.
We're not a general repair shop. We're heavy-duty specialists—and we always have been.
