Servicing and Repairs

TRAILER SERVICES AND REPAIRS

OUR APPROACH AND EXPERTISE

As part of our servicing process, we thoroughly clean, grease and oil the trailer where necessary. If any parts need replacing, we’ll always provide a clear quote upfront, so you have no unexpected bills.

If your trailer requires additional work, such as replacement panels or ramps, we’ll discuss those options with you first and provide a sensible, cost-effective solution for both you and your trailer.

We provide expert servicing and repairs for all types of trailers up to 3.5 tonnes. This includes horse trailers, car transporters, and trailers used by ground maintenance teams, builders, gardeners, plant hire companies, tree surgeons and more.

It’s worth remembering that you can get points on your licence for towing a trailer that isn’t roadworthy. We recommend having your trailer serviced yearly to keep it in good running condition and avoid costly repairs later down the line.
