A trailer may look simple, but it works hard every time it is used. Brakes, bearings, tyres, lights, couplings, suspension and chassis components all need to be checked and maintained properly, especially if the trailer carries weight, travels long distances or is used for business.
At First 4 Towbars Trailers & Autocare, we provide professional trailer servicing and repairs from our Melton Mowbray workshop. Whether you use a small domestic trailer, camping trailer, plant trailer, box trailer, car transporter or commercial trailer, regular servicing helps reduce the risk of breakdowns, unsafe towing and costly repairs.
We are proud members of the National Trailer and Towing Association, and First 4 Towbars is listed by the NTTA as an accredited Towbar and Trailer Centre in Leicestershire. That means customers can choose us with confidence when looking for professional trailer support, towing advice and safety-focused workmanship.
Unlike cars and vans, many trailers do not have an annual MOT. That does not mean they can be ignored.
As the person towing, you are responsible for making sure your trailer is safe and roadworthy before it is used. Worn brakes, faulty lights, damaged tyres, loose bearings or a poor coupling can create serious safety risks on the road.
Regular trailer servicing can help identify problems before they become dangerous or expensive.
A trailer service can help check:
If your trailer is making unusual noises, pulling unevenly, failing to brake properly or showing signs of wear, it is best to get it checked before towing again.
We can help with a range of trailer repair work, including issues with brakes, bearings, lights, wiring, tyres, couplings, jockey wheels and general trailer components.
If we inspect your trailer and find a problem, we will explain what needs doing and advise on the most sensible repair.
Trailer lights are essential for safe and legal towing. Faulty indicators, brake lights, fog lights or rear lights can make your trailer dangerous and may leave other road users unable to see what you are doing.
We can inspect trailer lighting and electrical connections, helping identify faults with plugs, sockets, cabling, light units and related wiring.
Trailer brakes and bearings are two of the most important areas to maintain. Bearings can wear, dry out or become noisy, while brakes can seize, become unbalanced or lose effectiveness over time.
A proper inspection can help identify wear before it causes a roadside failure or unsafe towing condition.
We can help with a wide range of trailer types, including:
If you are unsure whether we can inspect or repair your trailer, get in touch and we will be happy to advise.
First 4 Towbars is proud to be connected with the National Trailer and Towing Association. The NTTA represents the UK light trailer and towing industry and promotes industry standards, workshop best practice, customer service and professional workmanship.
For customers, this matters because trailer safety should never be treated as guesswork. When you choose First 4 Towbars Trailers & Autocare, you are choosing a team that understands towing, trailers, vehicle electrics, towbar installation and road safety.
How often your trailer needs servicing depends on how it is used.
A trailer used for business, heavy loads or regular long journeys should be inspected more often than a lightly used domestic trailer. A trailer that has been standing unused for long periods may also need attention, as tyres can perish, brakes can seize and corrosion can develop even when the trailer has not moved.
As a general rule, you should consider a trailer service:
