Truck Brake Repair

What’s so important about getting truck break repair done?

Safety on the road is the highest priority. If your brakes are not functioning at their highest, it can affect the overall performance of your truck and put your safety at risk.

Your brakes may need to be checked if you notice unusual grinding or squeaking, vibrations or have the need to apply more pressure. Because truck stopping distances are greater than cars, don’t avoid having your brakes checked and have our skilled technicians check them promptly.

ARE YOU IN NEED OF A TRUCK REPAIR?

There are different symptoms that reveal your truck might need its brakes checked.

Some common signs that indicate your brakes need maintenance:

Brake warning light is on: If your red brake warning light is on, it may be tempting to ignore it. Doing so, however, can lead to putting your safety at risk.

Screeching sounds: Squealing, screeching or grinding sounds are abnormal for brakes. Waiting too long for maintenance can damage your rotors and lead to more costly services associated with the repairs.

Burning smell: A burning odor when applying the brakes can mean overheating brake components, such as seized calipers or worn-out brake pads

Brake fluid leaks: Any visible fluid leaks beneath the vehicle or near the wheels are a clear sign that your truck needs be checked as soon as possible

Vibrating when braking: Bent rotors can cause vibrating when your truck brakes. Bring your truck in for inspection and maintenance if this is the case.

The above list is not all-inclusive of what it looks like when your truck brakes need maintenance. It’s important to get routine checks of your brake system since there are multiple possibilities for what could go wrong when you’re on the road.

The diagnostic procedures can identify the root cause of these symptoms and assess whether you truly need a truck brake repair done.

Having brakes that function optimally means your prioritizing your safety and being reassured that your truck will brake as you expect it to. While it may take diagnostic testing to check what the exact issue is, our technicians are experts at alleviating truck brake problems. Our staff are not only knowledgeable but also committed to having you back on the road as quickly and safely as possible.

While it depends on the driving conditions and patterns you endure with your truck, brake pad lifespan varies from 25,000 to 65,000 miles. You can get them proactively taken care of within this range so that you don’t have to worry about any vibrating or unusual sounds!

THE BENEFITS OF TRUCK BRAKE REPAIR

Enhanced safety

Brakes that work as they should is a major safety factor. Properly functioning brakes not only improve control as you’re driving but also reduce the risk of accidents.

Extended lifespan

Regular repairs and routine maintenance can prolong the lifespan of your truck’s braking system. This overall prevents premature wear and tear as you drive.

Saves money

Timely brake repairs essentially prevent further damage. Stopping deterioration (before it gets bad) can help save money on more serious repairs in the future.

Peace of mind

Knowing your brakes are in top condition provides reassurance and confidence while driving. Driving with peace of mind is needed especially during challenging road conditions.

HOW TO PREVENT BRAKE ISSUES

Problems with your truck brakes don’t suddenly happen, but every truck has its differences depending on the vehicles’ make and model. It’s critical to adhere to your vehicle’s suggested maintenance intervals to ensure the best care.

To prevent any undue issues with your brakes, have them evaluated within an appropriate time frame. If needed, related services can also be done such as brake fluid flush or brake caliper inspection.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the most common truck brake repair?

Air leaks can be a common repair when it comes to air brake problems. A defect in the air brake lines can lead to major consequences and make them less effective when operating the vehicle. These leaks typically result from wear and tear on the fittings and hoses used in the air brake system.

Do trucks have two types of brakes?

Yes, trucks normally have two types of brakes: air brakes and a hydraulic brake system. Air brakes are used for controlling your vehicle during normal operation while the hydraulic brake system uses brake fluid to transmit pressure from the brake pedal to the brakes at each wheel. Additionally, there are three braking configurations: parking brake, emergency brake and the service brake.

How much to repair brakes on a truck?

Brake rotor and pad repair typically comes out to about $250 to $500 per axle when getting serviced at a top auto shop. Additionally, the usual brake pad replacement costs about $150 per axle and can increase to about $300 for each axle depending on your truck’s needs. These costs cover the parts and labor required to replace worn down brake pads and can vary depending on the make and model of your truck.
