Benefits of trailer servicing are….

  • Avoid expensive repair bills
  • Reduce the risk of trailer failure or at worse an accident
  • Increase its lifespan
  • Increase its residual value
  • Tow with confidence and peace of mind

Driver

The driver is responsible for the condition of the trailer when towing, but the owner can also be liable. Thus, it is essential to ensure your trailer is kept in a roadworthy and legal condition. Failure to do so can result in fines and points on the drivers’ licence.
