Wow, thanks for the responses guys. I appreciate that. Yes, I agree lots of crooked stations out there that's for sure. I have first hand knowledge of a lot of them from friends who came to me to check things out before they agreed to repairs only to find when I inspected the issue there was NO issue!
At this point, I guess I'll have to keep looking. Based on Lynn's response I wont be going to Ben's and Mike's comment is why I don't like Harbold's. My Rig is lucky if it sees the street 5-6 times per year tops, which is why I'm looking for a good station that won't nit-pick. I'm sure the plastic suspension bushings on my rig show some wear due to it's age, but all the parts are sound, nothing is broken and the rig tows arrow straight.
In my mind, on a trailer, if the brakes are in good working order and have over the legal limit lining thickness (2/32 for bonded shoes), the frame is sound, all lights work and there are no broken suspension pieces (no cracked leaf springs or spring bolts, etc, then it should pass. (EDIT: It goes without saying, but tires need to be in good condition with good tread left (2/32" or greater), preferably greater) and no severe dry cracks.)
Anything above that is nit-picking and what I'm trying to avoid.
Thanks again.
