They opened their doors in Toms River in 1928, and now, in 2026, Hecht Trailer is saying goodbye as they close. Nearly a century for any business is very impressive, and this company has impacted many families and businesses through its work and products.

According to Shore News Network, "The dealership announced that it's entire inventory and operating assets will be sold through a timed online liquidation auction conducted by A.J. Willner Auctions. Bidding is already underway, with the auction scheduled to conclude at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, July 15."

Over the years, Hecht Trailer kept pace with changing times, expanding its services to include trailer sales, rentals, repairs, parts, and storage. Along the way, they earned the trust of generations of customers with dependable service and a hometown approach.

After more than a century in business, Hecht Trailer leaves behind a legacy that won't soon be forgotten in Toms River and throughout Ocean County.
