It’s essential that you book a regular trailer service, for both your own safety and the safety of other road users.
Not only does servicing ensure that your trailer is in full working order, but it will prolong the lifespan of mechanical parts, saving you time and money in the long run.
Here at Tamar Caravan Centre, we pride ourselves on offering a complete, comprehensive and competitively priced trailer service from our fully equipped workshop, where we can deal with all kinds of trailer repairs, servicing and modifications.
We can service all kinds of trailers, from bicycle trailers and utility trailers to travel trailers and horse boxes.
We’re authorised to carry out trailer service and repair works on trailers from Brian James, Brenderup, Ifor Williams and SBS, amongst others. We can also service pre-1990 Ifor Williams trailers, please contact us directly for further information and prices for this kind of trailer service.
A trailer service from Tamar Caravan Centre starts at just £60 (plus parts) and includes a thorough inspection, check and if needed, repair of the following:
If you have a horsebox, please note that we require the inside to be reasonably clean, with all bedding removed in order for the floor to be checked correctly.
Trailers are road-going vehicles, therefore they have to be ‘Road Safe’. Currently, there isn’t an MOT requirement for trailers, so it’s the responsibility of the driver to assess whether it’s roadworthy. VOSA (Vehicle and Operator Services Agency) or the police can issue penalty points or a fine if they deem your trailer to be unroadworthy or unsafe. This is why a regular trailer service is essential, as it helps you to be sure that your trailer is safe to be on the road.
If you use your trailer every day or it has heavy usage, we recommend that you book a trailer service every 6 months or every 6,000 miles, whichever comes first. For trailers that are used less frequently (i.e. for tip runs or camping holidays), annual servicing is sufficient. Regular servicing will help to keep your trailer in good condition and roadworthy. It will also help to prolong the life of your trailer and parts, which will help with the resale and part-exchange value.
With decades of experience in the trailer industry, our qualified and trained team are experts in all aspects of trailer servicing, maintenance and repair. We also issue a trailer service form, so that you can see what work we’ve done and to help you keep a clear service record, which is important if you sell your trailer on. We also hold trade accounts with all the major trailer manufacturers, so we’re able to supply and fit genuine parts whilst providing excellent value for money.
