Testimonials
An EXCELLENT 2 Day Trailer Servicing and Maintenance Course which was extremely beneficial. The tutor was exceptionally knowledgeable and professional and talked us through every aspect of trailer servicing and maintenance. We came away much more confident and even better equipped going forwards with our new trailer business!
We recently had two of our new engineers carry out a trailer maintenance training course with Towing Solutions, feedback from my engineers was it was very professional, full of great information, well set up and good spectrum of course subject delivered by a great team 🙂
I will most certainly be sending my guys there for additional training in the future, a big thank you from Pete 🙂
Excellent knowledge of instructor and well structured course with good practical hands on experience.
After speaking to our four delegates that attended the one-day trailer course, everyone was really happy with the course content. Trainer was excellent and very knowledgeable. All staff I have been in contact with have been super helpful and friendly. I wouldn’t hesitate to book in future.
What can I say this course was absolutely Brillant , the course leader Paul was super informative I learnt things on the course which are invaluable, Tacho information , nose weight , how to reverse easily , and how to tow the correct way , I can’t express how grateful am for his help on that day. The guys who set up were also brilliant. 10/10. 5* if your thinking of doing a course do this one! Thanks again Aaron wood
I did the 1-day Trailer Servicing course with Dave back in March, and I thought it was a really good experience. The course was informative, and Dave clearly knows his stuff—he shared a lot of useful knowledge throughout the day.
Since then, I’ve actually gone on to create my own tool to help check dampers, inspired by what Dave showed us during the course. We were also given a folder full of notes and information, and I’ve found myself referring back to it quite a bit—it’s been super helpful.
One thing I think could’ve made the course even better would be having a bit of time to explore the trailer on our own—maybe try out fitting some of the parts ourselves to get a bit more hands-on practice. Other than that, I really enjoyed it and got a lot out of it.
