Trusted Caravan and Trailer Servicing in Kelso When was the last time you had your caravan or trailer serviced? If it’s been over a year—or you’ve hardly used it lately—you could be due for a check-up. At Windsor's Automotive in Kelso, we know that caravans, boat trailers, horse floats and campers often sit unused for long stretches. But here’s the truth: lack of use is no guarantee that everything’s still in good condition. In fact, inactivity can cause issues just as easily as wear and tear. Rust can develop. Bearings can dry out. Brakes can seize or lose their effectiveness. Rubber seals can perish. You might not notice any problems until you hitch up and hit the road—and by then, it could be too late. That’s why we strongly recommend annual servicing for all towed vehicles, whether you use them regularly or not... Even When Parked, Time Takes Its Toll It’s easy to assume that if your trailer hasn’t been on the road for a while, there’s nothing to worry about. But many of the components that keep your caravan or trailer safe and roadworthy can deteriorate just from sitting still. Tyres lose pressure and develop flat spots. Brake fluid can absorb moisture, affecting braking performance. Wheel bearings can seize if not properly lubricated. These aren’t just minor annoyances—they’re safety hazards, especially when you’re towing a heavy load at highway speeds. Windsor's Automotive provides comprehensive servicing for: Standard box trailers Boat trailers Camper trailers Caravans Horse floats Our experienced team understands the unique needs of these towable vehicles and the risks associated with long-term storage or infrequent use. Safety and Control Start With Regular Maintenance When your trailer or caravan isn’t pulling its weight—literally—it can make driving harder, more dangerous, and more expensive. Poorly maintained trailers can dramatically impact your braking distance, cornering ability, and fuel economy. Wheel bearings, brakes, and suspension components are common failure points. A failed bearing can cause a wheel to seize or detach, which can be catastrophic at speed. Worn or unbalanced brakes can drastically increase your stopping distance or cause the trailer to push the towing vehicle off course. These issues are often subtle at first but can escalate quickly under heavy loads or in emergencies. At Windsor's Automotive, we take a proactive approach to these systems. During a caravan or trailer service, we: Inspect and repack or replace wheel bearings Test brake functionality and adjust or replace components Examine suspension, axles, and coupling systems Check lights, wiring, tyres and tyre pressure Review fluid levels (where applicable) Assess for rust, water damage, or seal deterioration These routine checks can save you from costly roadside breakdowns—and even more importantly, help you avoid putting yourself or others at risk. Fuel Efficiency Matters Too A poorly maintained caravan or trailer doesn’t just affect your control and stopping power—it can hit you in the wallet, too. Dragging around extra friction or misaligned wheels forces your vehicle to work harder, burning more fuel with every kilometre. That’s particularly true for long road trips or off-grid adventures, where fuel stations can be few and far between. A smooth-rolling, roadworthy trailer is easier to tow and puts less strain on your engine, gearbox and brakes. The result? Better handling, better fuel economy, and a far more enjoyable drive. If you’ve noticed that your car feels sluggish when towing or your fuel consumption spikes with a trailer in tow, it’s time to book in with Windsor's Automotive for a thorough check-up. Don’t Wait Until Something Breaks One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is: “I haven’t had any problems, so I don’t need a service.” But by the time you notice a problem with your trailer or caravan, it’s often already dangerous or expensive—or both. Preventive servicing is the best way to protect your investment, your safety, and your holiday plans. Whether your trailer only comes out during summer, or you live life on the road with a full-sized caravan, an annual inspection is essential. Even if you’re just hauling a small box trailer occasionally, you don’t want to discover that the lights don’t work, the brakes are shot, or the bearings are dry the day before a big trip. Local, Experienced and Ready to Help At Windsor's Automotive, we’ve been proudly servicing the people of Kelso and surrounding areas for years.

Keep Your 4WD Ready for Anything

Do you drive an Automatic vehicle? Then you might not even know there is a clutch in your vehicle. But without it, the gears in your car will not change. Windsor's Automotive in Kelso know all about repairing and servicing these systems including clutches, cables and fluids. Learn more below. What is a clutch? The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation. Your engine is what causes your wheels to spin, but what happens when your car needs to stop? The engine shouldn't stop spinning but the wheels need to. It's the clutch that allows this to happen. The clutch allows the transfer of power from the engine to the wheels to be interrupted while a gear is being changed or while the car is stationary and the engine continues to run. What is clutch fluid? Some vehicles have hydraulic clutches - when you press the clutch pedal, the clutch fluid moves the pressure from the pedal through to the clutch and disengages the power transmission. Leaking clutch fluid can cause all kinds of problem in your vehicle so it is very important to monitor it regularly. At Windsor's Automotive in Kelso we check your clutch fluid, hydraulic system or clutch cables for you in the course of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection - which you can request as part of every car service.
 What signs to look for if your clutch is not performing You should have your clutch looked at if: You notice a burnt ‘toast' or ‘burning rubber' smell in your car, or smoke from under vehicle Your vehicle is slipping out of gear for no reason There is jerky or sticky gear operation Your clutch is not disengaging fully, or your clutch is sticking or shuddering If your clutch is showing any of the problems above - it could mean any number of faults. Clutch problems are difficult to diagnose by symptoms alone because many issues cause the same symptoms, depending on the vehicle and type of engine. The best way to deal with clutch shuddering, slipping or noise is contact us at Windsor's Automotive today. We can perform clutch service and repairs on most makes and models right here in our Kelso workshop.

The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation.

The Benefits of Suspension and Steering Service As a vehicle owner in Kelso, ensuring your car's suspension and steering systems are in optimal condition is essential for safety, comfort, and performance... These interconnected systems play a pivotal role in how your vehicle handles the road, absorbs shocks, and responds to your driving inputs. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can prevent costly issues and enhance your driving experience. Understanding Suspension and Steering Systems The suspension system comprises components like shock absorbers, springs, struts, and control arms. Its primary function is to absorb road irregularities, providing a smooth ride and maintaining tire contact with the road surface. This system also contributes to vehicle handling and stability. The steering system, on the other hand, allows you to guide your vehicle. It includes parts such as the steering wheel, column, rack, and tie rods. A well-maintained steering system ensures precise control and responsiveness, which are crucial for safe driving. Why Regular Service is Crucial Regular servicing of your vehicle's suspension and steering systems is vital for several reasons: Safety: Worn or damaged components can lead to loss of control, especially during sudden maneuvers or adverse road conditions. Performance: Properly functioning systems ensure responsive handling, reducing the risk of accidents and enhancing driving confidence.

Common Suspension and Steering Issues Being aware of potential problems can help you identify when your vehicle needs attention. Common signs include: Uneven Tire Wear: This may indicate misalignment or suspension issues. Pulling to One Side: Could be a sign of alignment problems or steering component wear. Steering Wheel Vibration: Often caused by issues with the suspension or steering systems. Difficulty Steering: A stiff or unresponsive steering wheel can signal problems within the steering system.
