🚐🔧 DID YOU KNOW WE SERVICE MORE THAN JUST CARS? 🔧🚛

🏕️ GET YOUR CARAVAN READY FOR YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE! 🏕️

Think we only work on cars, 4WDs and trucks? Think again! 😉💪

At BURKES MECHANICAL REPAIRS, we don't just keep your daily driver on the road — we also carry out CARAVAN AND TRAILER SERVICING! 🚐🛠️

Whether you're planning a weekend away, heading off on that big camping trip, towing the boat, or just need to make sure your trailer is ready for the road, we've got you covered!

Because let's face it… there's nothing worse than getting everything packed, hitching up the van, and finding a problem before you've even left the driveway! 😂🏕️

🔧 SO, WHAT'S INVOLVED IN A CARAVAN OR TRAILER SERVICE?

Depending on the type of caravan or trailer, a service can include:

✅ Wheel Bearings – Inspecting bearings for wear and checking for correct adjustment and lubrication where applicable.

✅ Brakes – Inspecting brake components, including brake shoes or pads, drums or discs, and checking operation where fitted.

✅ Tyres & Wheels – Checking tyre condition, tread, pressures and wheel nuts.

✅ Suspension – Inspecting suspension components, springs, bushes, shock absorbers and other related parts for wear or damage.

✅ Chassis & Coupling – Checking the chassis, drawbar, coupling, safety chains and other towing components for damage or wear.

✅ Lights & Electrical – Checking indicators, brake lights, tail lights and the trailer plug connection.

✅ General Safety Inspection – Looking over accessible components for signs of wear, damage or anything that may need attention.

Please note: The exact checks depend on your caravan or trailer, its equipment and the type of service required. Additional repairs or specialist caravan systems may require separate assessment.

🚗 AND DON'T FORGET — WE STILL SERVICE CARS, 4WDs AND TRUCKS TOO!

From your everyday runaround to your weekend adventure machine, we're here to help keep you moving.

📞 DON'T WAIT UNTIL YOU'RE HALF-WAY DOWN THE HIGHWAY TO FIND A PROBLEM!

We're looking for someone who enjoys solving problems, values quality workmanship, and wants to be part of a workshop where doing the job right matters.

If you're after a workplace where you can coast through the day doing the bare minimum, this probably isn't the role for you.

# # # What we offer:
