✅ NYS Boat Trailer Inspections
Boat trailers, like all trailers in New York State, must be inspected annually if they weigh over 1,000 pounds unladen. Our licensed inspection technicians are trained to check every component of your trailer, including:
- Brakes & brake lights
- Tires & wheel bearings
- Suspension systems
- Hitches, couplers, and safety chains
- Frame integrity & signs of corrosion
- License plate lighting and overall visibility
We’ll make sure your trailer meets all DOT and NYS DMV regulations so you can tow with confidence.
