What Trailer Servicing Includes

Our North Geelong workshop inspects and services the following components on every job:


▸ Brakes: shoes, drums, and hydraulic lines checked and adjusted for compliance.


▸ Wheel bearings: repacked or replaced to prevent overheating and wheel loss.


▸ Lights and wiring: all running lights, brake lights, and indicators tested.


▸ Suspension: leaf springs, shock mounts, and hangers inspected for wear or cracking.


▸ Couplings and safety chains: checked for condition and legal compliance.



▸ Tires: inspected for pressure, tread depth, and sidewall integrity.



How Often Should You Service a Trailer?

Most trailers benefit from a service every 12 months or 10,000 km, whichever comes first. Trailers used on regional highways, exposed to coastal salt air near Geelong's waterways, or loaded with heavy equipment may need more frequent attention. An annual inspection can catch worn bearings or cracked springs before they become roadside failures.
