Brake controllers aren't set and forget and I would never trust some shop to adjust mine.
You need to adjust them to suit your current driving conditions. In a panick stop, weight will transfer and it's likely wheels will lock. That's normal.
The brake system on a trailer is not sophisticated like that of your tow vehicle.
Actually the Prodigy is set, and forget. Once it is adjusted. you don't have to mess with it at all. Get it right, and the TV, and TT stop as one, No jerks, no jumps. You can't even feel it.
And the Factory controler in my ford is set, and forget. Just test it when you hook up. Good to go.
It's really not. If it's raining you need to back it off. If the trailer is appreciably lighter or heavier with water and other junk it will need adjustment.
Of course, if nothing ever changes then the controller can be left alone.
