FAQs

What should I check on my trailer before the first tow of the season? The National Association of Trailer Manufacturers recommends inspecting tires for uneven wear and verifying proper inflation, checking all brake components and electrical connections, testing that safety chains and the hitch coupler are in good working order, and inspecting wheel bearings for signs of heat. Under-inflated tires alone can reduce load-carrying capacity and cause dangerous trailer sway.

How often should I have my trailer wheel bearings repacked? The industry standard is to repack trailer wheel bearings every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. Between full repacks, check for warning signs like unusual heat radiating from the hub, grinding or humming noises while towing, or visible grease leaking from the hub cap or seal. Tacoma’s wet climate can accelerate moisture intrusion, making regular bearing maintenance especially important.

What’s the difference between electric brakes and surge brakes on a trailer? Electric brakes use an electrical signal from a brake controller mounted in your tow vehicle, giving you adjustable stopping power. Surge brakes are hydraulic and self-contained, activated by the trailer’s forward momentum pushing against the hitch coupler when the tow vehicle slows. Electric brakes are the industry standard for most cargo, dump, and utility trailers due to their superior control and responsiveness.

Do you service trailers you did not sell? Yes, any make. Bring the trailer or its model details, because axle and brake parts in particular are unforgiving of approximation.

Where exactly is the service department? On Mountain Highway East in Spanaway, about twenty minutes south of downtown Tacoma and straight up the road from Parkland and Graham.
