Trailer Repairs Busselton

We recommend having your trailer serviced every 6-12 months, or more frequently if you use it heavily or towing long distances especially in rough or coastal conditions. Regular inspections help catch faults early, keep your trailer compliant, and avoid costly repairs.

Listen out for grinding, humming or squeaking from wheels, or vibration when towing. If your trailer pulls to one side, or you notice grease leaking out of a hub, these are strong indicators your bearings or brakes need checking. Our qualified mechanics can do a full safety check to spot these issues before they become major.

It depends on the repair’s complexity and parts availability. Minor work like lighting, wiring or tyre repairs typically can be completed in a few hours. More involved jobs suspension, axle work or rust repair might take longer, sometimes needing special parts. We’ll assess your trailer, give you an estimate upfront, and keep you informed.

Costs depend on what needs repairing, how badly, and the parts required. For example, replacing bearings will cost less than a full suspension overhaul or extensive rust treatment. Because we assess every job first, we can give you a tailored quote so you know exactly what you’ll pay.

Yes. There are a number of checks you can do between professional services check tyre pressure, test lights, inspect for obvious rust or damage, grease moving parts, ensure the hitch / coupling is secure. But for things like brakes, bearings, suspension and structural rust, it’s safest to have a qualified mechanic inspect and repair, to ensure safety and legal compliance.

Yes. Coastal salt, moisture, and the sea air accelerate corrosion, especially undercarriage and exposed metal. In Busselton and surrounding areas, we often see more rust build-up. We recommend more frequent inspections, washing off salt (especially after beach travel), applying protective coatings, and early rust repairs before the structure or safety is compromised.

Your trailer must meet WA’s road safety standards: working lights and indicators, correctly functioning brakes where required, secure hitch / coupling, safe tyres, and structural integrity. Without those, you can get fined or your trailer deemed unroadworthy. At Busselton Equipment Hire, we ensure repairs meet local compliance standards so you can tow legally and safely.
