{{{businessName}}} can service your motorhome, caravan or trailer up to 6 Tonne, right here in {{{suburb}}} in our fully equipped workshop. And remember, being backed by the Repco Nationwide Warranty means our work is covered at over 500 workshops Australia wide. Wherever you roam with your motorhome, campervan, caravan or trailer, you're never far from a Repco Authorised Service Centre.

Even if you don't use your RV, motorhome, campervan, caravan or trailer regularly you should still have it serviced at least once per year. Lack of use brings its own problems and requirements and you should still have your towed vehicle checked on a regular basis to ensure components have not failed or deteriorated without your knowledge.

Wheel bearings, brakes and running gear are common areas of concern when it comes to trailers or caravans and these should be checked at least once a year to ensure they are operating correctly. RV, motorhome, campervan are essentially vehicles and require the same servicing as a normal car.

We can also offer Safety Certificates and Roadworthy Inspections for Caravans & Trailers up to 4.5 Tonne (GVM)

For more details about our services please call our friendly team and tell us what you need inspected, serviced or repaired. We can also do minor installation work like Diesel Heaters.

We can combine our fully qualified expertise and knowledge with our local understanding of the driving conditions in {{{suburb}}} to not only make sure your wheels are aligned correctly, but to confirm there are no underlying issues with the technologies behind the wheel that keep you safe on the roads.

The performance of safety systems such as traction, stability control, and  ABS braking systems depend largely on how well the suspension performs, which also depends on how well the wheels are aligned, which then has a direct bearing on how the suspension copes with cornering and braking forces, as well as with sudden steering inputs - phew, that's a long line of follow on effects! But that's why it's important to always have a fully qualified workshop perform your Wheel Alignment. 

Having an alignment procedure done at {{{businessName}}} means knowing that the root cause of the original wheel alignment problem can be corrected professionally by suitably qualified technicians. Book in today!

Wheel Alignment in {{{suburb}}}

Wheel Alignment

Wheel balance refers to how smoothly an individual wheel rotates around its own centre. Unbalanced wheels can cause other parts of your car to wear down faster - such as shock absorbers, struts and steering. If your wheels are not balanced properly it can affect the overall performance and feel of your car. 

Your steering wheel or car vibrates at high speed.

Your tyres have had some rough treatment such as potholes or extremely rough roads. 

{{{businessName}}} are fully equipped to balance your wheels - if you have any concerns, don't hesitate to make a booking today.
