Service Overview
Commercial and diesel brake systems are their own world: compressors, dryers, valves, chambers, slack adjusters, and drum brake hardware that must meet DOT standards. We handle air brake and drum brake concerns at your yard, keeping trucks earning. This service is for commercial/diesel brakes — not regular passenger-car brakes.
Work may involve brake chambers, slack adjusters (manual and automatic), air dryers and cartridges, governor and valve replacement, line repair, and full system leak-down testing to DOT spec.
Signs You Need This Service
- Air pressure slow to build or leaking down
- Spring-brake dragging or not releasing
- Audible leaks at valves or chambers
- Out-of-adjustment pushrod travel
Consequences of Ignoring It
- Out-of-service violations at inspection — and the downtime that follows
- Dragging brakes overheating drums in miles
- Emergency dynamiting from pressure loss
Recommended Service Interval
Per inspection write-up findings and PM schedule; leak-down tests at every service.
