Trailer & Towing
Whether it's a box trailer, horse float, caravan or motorhome, we service and repair towing setups of all kinds — including brakes, wiring, wheel bearings and safety checks before a big trip.
Why Getting Your Trailer Checked Matters
A fault on a towed vehicle isn't like a fault on your car — it often goes unnoticed until you're already on the road, fully loaded, and it's too late to fix easily.
We check the whole setup, not just the obvious parts, so towing faults are caught before they become a breakdown or a safety issue.
We use proper testing for brakes, wiring and bearings, not a quick visual look.
We explain what we find in plain language, so you know exactly what's safe and what needs attention before you hit the road.
Getting it checked properly before a trip means one less thing to worry about once you're towing.
Trailer & Towing, what we handle
Towing setups take a different kind of wear than your everyday car — our job is to make sure everything's safe and reliable before you're relying on it.
Here's a look at common trailer and towing work, carried out by experienced technicians every time.
Trailer and towbar wiring: diagnosing and repairing faulty lights, indicators, and electric brake connections.
Horse float servicing: brake checks, wheel bearing service, and general safety inspections for horse floats.
Caravan and motorhome pre-trip checks: brakes, wheel bearings, tyres and wiring, checked before a big trip.
Wheel bearing repair: repacking or replacing worn bearings on trailers, floats and caravans.
Brake controller and electric brake servicing: testing and adjusting electric brakes for safe, reliable towing.
General trailer repairs: structural, suspension and general maintenance on box trailers and custom setups.
We use proper testing and quality parts, backed by Repco Authorised Service and VACC membership standards, so your setup is genuinely road-ready, not just given a once-over.
At Paulo's Automotive Shepparton, we won't recommend work you don't need. Once we've checked your trailer, float, caravan or motorhome, we'll explain exactly what we found and what your options are, so you can make an informed decision before you tow.
