Car and Boat Trailers

South Coast Leisure Service can carry out a full service on all types of trailers including car and boat trailers. It is recommended by The National Trailer and Towing association that boat trailers which are being immersed in water are serviced every 3000 miles or every 3-6 months, depending on use. Frequency of Servicing and Checks for Trailers and car trailers, camping trailers, car transporters, flat bed trailers, goods trailers, plant trailers, van trailers, motorcycle and bicycle trailers and horse, pony and livestock trailers is very important as your insurance may be void if not properly maintained.
