Hi Swaggers

Can anyone suggest / recommend a good trailer mechanic in the SE suburbs? Please not Trailer Repair Center or Australian Trailers. Had a shocker of an experience with both of those recently on my boat trailer.

I am considering using a mobile mechanic because it's not a very big job. Any thoughts?

Cheers

What do you need done, if its something as simple as new bearings or the like ,maybe a helpful Swagger can help out and show you how its done and then you can do it yourself nest time

Good catch...  :-[

Mine is a fairly simple service. I want to replace the bearings on both sides and check the axle and other moving parts. I don't have brakes, so it's fairly simple stuff...

Happy to pay a pro, but I love this suggestion. :)

Try a search, I think someone did a thread on how to do just this, probably in the mechanical section

Unless you use a dealer, why not take it to your mechanic?  Bearings, run a spanner/eye over the trailer plus a light check . 
Any workshop can do that.

Good point, Phil @ Ontrack Auto used to make his own campers so he will know his way around one.
