Summer is the busiest time of year for trailer owners — and the worst time to deal with unexpected breakdowns.
Whether you’re hauling equipment to a job site, towing ATVs up north, or running loads for your business, the heat and mileage of summer can wear out your trailer faster than you think. That’s why this is the perfect time to schedule professional trailer service and get ahead of potential problems.
At USA Trailer Sales, we offer full-service trailer maintenance and repair to keep your equipment in peak condition all season long.
Why Summer Trailer Maintenance Matters
Summer puts added stress on your trailer. High temperatures, heavy loads, and long drives can cause issues that might not show up until it’s too late.
Here’s why summer maintenance is so important:
-
Hot pavement increases tire wear and blowout risk
-
Rain, humidity, and sun exposure can lead to corrosion and electrical failure
-
Long hauls stress your trailer’s brakes, bearings, and suspension
-
UV rays can damage seals, finishes, and wiring
Routine maintenance now helps you avoid expensive repairs later — and keeps your trailer running safely all season.
What’s Included in Our Summer Service
Our summer trailer service package includes a thorough inspection and tune-up designed to catch any issues early.
We inspect and service:
-
Tires (tread depth, air pressure, and lug nut torque)
-
Brake systems (including electric brakes)
-
Wheel bearings (cleaning, repacking, and sealing)
-
Axles and suspension components
-
Wiring, connectors, and lights
-
Safety chains, couplers, and jacks

Door hinges, latches, and ramps on enclosed trailers

Structural components like the frame, fenders, and decking

Signs Your Trailer Needs Service
Pay attention to these common warning signs that indicate your trailer needs professional service:
-
Uneven or rapid tire wear
-
Brakes that squeal, grind, or don’t feel responsive
-
The trailer pulls or sways while towing
-
Lights that flicker or don’t work
-
Loose or noisy suspension
-
Ramps or doors that stick or won’t close properly

If you’re experiencing any of these problems, it’s time to bring your trailer in for service.
