Trailer parts and service

Just a plug after some good service today. I have a 2006 Trailcraft Freestyle and thought it was about time to consider giving the trailer a birthday.
I put in new bearings every year, run bearing buddies, top up with grease after each trip and recently replaced the winch rope just incase.
My concern was the condition of the brakes, springs and the shackle bolt.
I dragged the boat to Martins Trailer parts in O'Connor. Great blokes. They had a look over it and recommended I don't do too much. Mostly cosmetic. I had set of shackle bolts already, so I did get some bushes.
The final bill. $1!
Plenty of other places would have gone here we go. replace this, replace that.
Really happy with the service and when the time comes I will head back there for sure.

 Agree, it is a solid local business.
Not all the people there are enthusiastic but many are and Brett Martin is pretty knowledgable to if get no joy especially on US trailer p[rts

Agreed... the Bayswater store got me out of the poo early Thursday morning before a trip north.
They're also a LOT cheaper than some of the other automotive parts suppliers around.
