We inspect brakes, wheel bearings, lights, suspension, couplings and tyres to ensure your setup is safe and performing as it should. Operating from our workshop in Emu Park, we work with travel vans, campers, work trailers and box trailers. Whether it’s a once-a-year check or repairs before your next trip, our team can help keep your trailer road-ready.

Regular caravan and trailer servicing is essential for road safety. Over time, brakes wear, bearings dry out and electrical systems can fail, all of which affect your ability to tow legally and confidently. Our service includes a full mechanical and safety check, greasing of moving parts, adjustment of brake systems, and inspection of wiring and connections.

We also check chassis condition, hitch operation, tyre pressure and tread wear. Whether you're preparing for a holiday, transporting gear or managing work equipment, we ensure your trailer or caravan meets all safety standards and performs reliably. If repairs are needed, we’ll explain the problem clearly and provide an efficient solution using quality parts.

What are common issues found during trailer servicing?
Common faults include worn brake shoes or pads, dry or damaged wheel bearings, cracked suspension components, faulty trailer lights and corroded wiring. Loose couplings and worn safety chains are also frequent issues. These can seriously affect towing safety and lead to breakdowns if ignored. Early detection during servicing prevents costly repairs and road hazards.
Are there legal requirements for trailer maintenance in Queensland?
Yes, all trailers and caravans must meet safety standards set by Queensland’s Department of Transport. This includes functioning lights, reflective markings, legal tyre tread, working brakes (for trailers over 750kg), and secure couplings. If your trailer is used for business or commercial use, it must also pass compliance checks. Routine servicing helps ensure you stay within legal guidelines.
Can I service a trailer myself?
While some basic maintenance like checking lights and tyre pressure can be done at home, a full trailer service should be completed by a qualified technician. Components like brakes and bearings require correct tools, torque settings and mechanical knowledge. DIY repairs may miss key faults or fail to meet compliance standards, especially if your trailer is used for towing long distances.
