  State Inspections

  Virginia registered trailers with braking systems are required to be state inspected each year. This includes boat trailers, campers, enclosed trailers and utility trailers. If a trailer has a gross weight capacity of 3000lbs or more it is required to have a brake system.

  Routine Maintenance

  All trailers need some form of routine maintenance. Some need more depending on amount of use. The manufacturer recommends bearings be serviced every year. We have found that trailers with light use can go longer and trailers with extreme or constant use may need to be done more frequently. Trailer tires, lights, wiring, safety chains, coupler latch and springs should also be regularly checked.

We carry a wide selection of trailer brakes and brake parts. Our technicians have many years of experience replacing brakes.
