Whether you're getting ready for a big outback adventure or simply moving equipment around town, it's essential to make sure your trailer or caravan is in safe, working order. At RTJ Mechanical, we specialise in comprehensive caravan and trailer servicing for customers in Monto and surrounding areas.
We understand the demands placed on caravans and trailers—especially in regional and rural conditions. From axle inspections and brake servicing to wiring and lighting repairs, our qualified technicians carry out detailed checks and repairs to ensure everything is safe, secure and roadworthy.
We service everything from small box trailers and camper trailers to horse floats, tradie trailers, boat trailers and full-size touring caravans. Our experienced team can handle everything from routine maintenance and safety inspections to more complex mechanical issues, including axle replacements and brake overhauls.
When it comes to towing, there’s no room for error. A small fault can quickly become a major safety hazard—especially when you’re hauling gear or passengers across regional roads or highways.
What’s Included in Our Caravan & Trailer Service?
Every caravan or trailer that comes through our workshop receives a detailed inspection. Depending on your vehicle’s age and condition, our service may include:
- Axle inspection and replacement (for both single and tandem axle trailers)
- Wheel bearing inspection, cleaning and repacking
- Brake system checks (electric or hydraulic), adjustment or replacement

- Suspension checks, including springs and shocks
- Inspection and repairs to trailer wiring and lighting

Trailer Axle Replacements in Monto
One of the most common—and most important—trailer repairs we carry out is axle replacement. Over time, axles can wear down or become damaged, especially if your trailer carries heavy loads or is used off-road. If an axle fails while towing, it can cause dangerous instability or failure on the road.
Signs your trailer or caravan may need an axle replacement include:
- Uneven or excessive tyre wear
- Noisy or loose-feeling wheels
- Sagging or uneven ride height
- Rust or cracking around the axle
- Poor handling or pulling to one side when braking
The expert team at RTJ Mechanical can inspect your axle and, if required, replace it with a quality, heavy-duty unit that matches your trailer’s load rating and design.
Local Expertise with a Nationwide Warranty
RTJ Mechanical is a proud member of the Repco Authorised Service network. Every service and repair we perform is backed by our nationwide warranty on both parts and labour—so you can tow with confidence, even if you're travelling far from home.
As a locally owned and operated workshop in Monto, we offer personalised service and expert advice that bigger city chains simply can’t match. Whether you use your trailer daily or once a year, our team will make sure it’s ready for the road.
Planning a Trip? Don’t Forget Your Safety Check
Before you hit the highway with your caravan or trailer, it’s a smart idea to book in for a pre-trip safety inspection. We’ll check all the essential components and make sure everything is in top shape—so your travels go off without a hitch (literally).
