Boat and Trailer Maintenance and Repair
It's also difficult to push start your boat on the river or at sea.
Lack of cooling water through outboard cooling systems and inboard motor manifolds can cause extensive and expensive damage.
Fuel can leak and cause injury and major damage. It is absolutely essential to have your boat and trailer checked out annually to ensure that all is well and everyone is going to be safe.
At Barossa Auto Care we can maintain and service your boat to keep it in top condition and safe for you, your mates and your family. Both boat and trailer are comprehensively checked and serviced during our service procedures ensuring protection of your investment.
Servicing of boat trailer chassis and suspension of all types of single and tandem axle trailers is an integral part of our business. Our technicians are able to identify the wear and tear points that occur during intermittent use and service or replace springs and chassis equipment when required.
