Brake Rotor, Drum, Pad & Shoe Replacement

Brake components naturally wear over time and should be inspected regularly to maintain safe braking performance.

We replace:

Brake Rotors

Warped or worn rotors can cause vibration, uneven braking, and longer stopping distances. We inspect rotor thickness, surface condition, and overall performance to determine whether replacement is needed.

Brake Drums

Heavy-duty brake drums can crack, become heat-damaged, or wear beyond service limits. Our technicians inspect drum condition and replace worn components to restore dependable braking.

Brake Pads & Brake Shoes

Worn pads and shoes reduce braking efficiency and can damage rotors or drums if not replaced promptly. We install high-quality replacement components designed for demanding commercial applications.

ABS Diagnostics & Electronic Brake System Repair

Modern commercial trucks use advanced electronic braking systems to improve safety and control.

We diagnose and repair:

  • ABS Warning Lights
  • Wheel Speed Sensors
  • ABS Modules
  • Brake Control Units
  • Wiring Issues
  • Electronic Brake Components
  • Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)

Using advanced diagnostic equipment, we accurately identify electrical and electronic brake issues to restore proper system operation.

Signs Your Brakes Need Service

Ignoring brake problems can increase stopping distances and create dangerous driving conditions.

Schedule a brake inspection if you notice:

  • Squealing or Grinding Noises
  • Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal
  • Longer Stopping Distances
  • Vehicle Pulling During Braking
  • Brake Warning Light
  • ABS Warning Light
  • Air Pressure Loss
  • Brake Vibration
  • Uneven Brake Wear
  • Burning Odor After Braking
