If you own a trailer, whether it’s for hauling livestock, equipment, roofing materials or just weekend projects, chances are you’ve dealt with unexpected wiring issues, brake light failures or broken plugs. And if those problems hit on the road or during a job, they can cost far more than the repair itself.

But here’s the good news: Most major trailer problems can be prevented with something as simple and affordable as a regular inspection.

 
🔎 Real Example: Regularly scheduled inspections can prevent hundreds of dollars in expenses.  We, at Mobile Trailer Wiring & Repair, perform routine inspections for our clients here in the Waco, Texas and surrounding areas. Often when our clients think everything is fine, we often find: 

Cracked wiring beneath the trailer deck
A nearly disconnected brake light connector
Corrosion in the 7-pin plug
If our clients hit the road with these conditons it could led to:

Total brake light failure
Unsafe driving conditions
A ticket or fine
Emergency roadside repair ($$$)
Downtime and loss of work or taking on new projects
Instead, we can find these issues early and fixed it on-site for a fraction of the cost.
