Trailer Servicing...
For Boat Trailers, Click Here!By far and away the most often asked question we get, on the subject of trailer servicing is, how much to service a boat trailer?.....
And the answer is YES!
YES we can service it,
YES we can quote for it and
YES it will work again.
.......but how much before we start to dismantle and inspect it is impossible to say. We are not hiding anything but to quote at the outset is wrong for many reasons. First it builds up false hope when a four wheel boat trailer is brought in and say is estimated at £25 per hub to service it. At £100 pounds it sounds cheap.
You must ask yourself what you want from your trailer?
Do you want a trailer where you are certain the hubs and wheels are not going to come off on the way to the slipway?
Do you want the brakes to work properly?
Are the rollers working properly?
Do they hold the boat safely and comfortably?
Does the winch do its job and will the strap break?
Do the lights work?
Same day service on difficult wheel bearing replacement. Drop your hubs straight into us.
By the very nature of this type of trailer it has a lot to put up with. Salt water is the biggest enemy, As soon as this reaches the bearings corrosion begins.
Then the brakes start to sieze up, sometimes siezing in the 'on' position , so you are not going anywhere.
The brake cables (Bowden Cables) are next to suffer. These start to corrode and just swell up to become very stiff to travel in and out of the brake drums. Corrosion is the problem. But dont worry.It can all be fixed.
