Trailer servicing in Colac

Trailer servicing is the running gear and the roadworthy basics: the parts that keep the trailer tracking straight, stopping properly, and legal to tow. Here's what we handle:

We cover box trailers, car trailers, tradesman trailers, horse floats, boat trailers, and light commercial and farm trailers where the work suits the workshop. What's outside our scope is the heavy end: large semi-trailers, B-doubles, and specialised heavy commercial trailers are dealer or specialist work, and we'll tell you straight if your trailer falls into that bracket.

A few items come up again and again, and most are the difference between a tow that goes to plan and one that doesn't.

Wheel bearings need regular attention, usually once a year or before any long tow. Lights and wiring are the most common roadworthy fail point on trailers, so they're worth checking before they let you down. On brakes, Victorian rules require brakes on trailers over 750kg ATM, and breakaway brakes over 2,000kg ATM; we'll check what applies to your trailer, and VicRoads has the detail on the regulations.

If you're selling or re-registering, Victoria requires a roadworthy on most trailers. We can get yours ready for inspection by sorting the bearings, brakes, lights, and wiring that usually need attention. Bernard holds Licensed Vehicle Tester accreditation (EX12159) for Victorian roadworthy work, so call us to confirm what your trailer needs. Weight ratings matter too, so know your trailer's ATM, GTM, Tare, and ball weight before you load up.

The advantage of a workshop like ours is that we look after both ends of the rig. Bernard has 37 years in the trade, and his technicians bring decades more between them. Because the same crew that services your car, ute, or 4WD can service the trailer behind it, the whole rig stays road-ready as one unit.

We're honest about scope, too. Small-to-medium trailers, yes; the heavy commercial gear, no. If a job isn't right for us, we'll say so.
