Planning a trip or selling your caravan or trailer? At JL Mechanical Services, we offer comprehensive inspections and maintenance to ensure your caravan or trailer is safe, reliable, and ready for any adventure.
Don’t let caravan or trailer troubles ruin your holiday. Regular maintenance and inspections are essential for safe and reliable towing. Ignoring potential problems can lead to costly repairs, safety hazards, and even legal issues, such as fines for exceeding your caravan’s Aggregate Trailer Mass (ATM) or not having a valid registration.
In NSW, caravans and trailers over 250kg require regular inspections to meet safety standards. We can conduct these inspections and provide the necessary certificates for registration renewal or sale. We also offer pre-sale checks to ensure your caravan or trailer is in top condition for selling.
Regular trailers and caravan servicing can help prevent costly repairs. We offer services like wheel bearing repacking, brake inspections and suspension checks (note that we only do maintenance, not repairs, on caravans and trailers).
Need other services? We also offer inspections, logbook servicing, brake and clutch repairs and suspension work.
Before you hit the open road or hand over the keys, a pre-purchase inspection can uncover hidden problems that could turn your dream adventure into a costly nightmare. We’ll thoroughly inspect your caravan or trailer, checking everything from the brakes, lights, and tyres to the suspension, and various components.
We offer a wide range of inspection and maintenance services in the Port Stephens region, from Salamander Bay to Nelson Bay, Anna Bay and beyond, for all vehicle types, from pop-top caravans and camper trailers to full-size caravans and fifth-wheelers.
Ensure your caravan or trailer is safe and compliant. We provide the necessary certificates for registration renewal or sale (pink slips, blue slips, etc.).

We understand you might have questions about trailers and caravan servicing. Here are answers to some common queries:
We recommend a thorough pre-trip inspection to ensure your caravan is ready for the journey. This includes checking your tyres (including the spare!), brakes, wheel bearings, lights and suspension. We also check for any signs of water damage or wear and tear that could cause problems on the road.
Yes, we do! Horse floats require specific safety checks, especially regarding brakes and flooring. We can inspect your horse float to ensure it’s safe for both you and your horses.
A pre-sale inspection is a great way to identify any potential issues and give buyers confidence in your caravan’s condition. We can also advise how to present your caravan in the best possible light.
It’s important to check your tyres for any signs of cracking or perishing and your brakes for any signs of seizing. Also, check your wheel bearings and lights. We recommend bringing your caravan in for a comprehensive inspection to ensure it’s safe and roadworthy after a period of inactivity.
Common caravan suspension problems include worn or damaged shock absorbers, leaf springs and U-bolts. These can cause a bumpy ride, swaying and instability when towing. We can inspect your caravan’s suspension and recommend any necessary maintenance.
