BRAKE REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT FOR LIGHT AND MEDIUM DUTY TRUCKS AND TRAILERS

According to the 2018 National Motor Crash Causation Study, almost 22% of mechanical-failure-associated crashes were due to defective brakes. A good brake system is an essential safety component that requires regular maintenance and care.

At Quicken Truck & Trailer, we provide services addressing the needs of the entire braking system, from a new brake pad or a set of new tires for your commercial light and medium duty truck fleet.

Signs You Need a Brake Pad Replacement

While a regular brake inspection is often enough to identify potential brake problems, it's also important to look for signs of brake damage that indicate an urgent need for commercial truck brake replacement and repairs. Ignoring these issues could lead to more problems and expensive repairs.

Noticeable Grinding or Squealing

Loud noises are a common early warning sign that you need commercial truck brake repair.

A high-pitched squealing often indicates worn pads that need urgent replacement. Ignoring this sound can lead to grinding of the brake pad material against the calipers, leading to the expensive replacement of brake rotors and new brake pads.

Loose or Jammed Brake Pedals

Jammed or spongy brakes are extremely dangerous, especially when driving at highway speeds, as they can interfere with the driver's response to adverse conditions. A broken brake pedal can indicate issues with the brake line or brake fluid and requires an urgent brake service.

Unusual Vibrations

Unusual vibrations during braking indicate brake rotor warping due to heat. These vibrations often escalate to a truck pulling to a side, affecting the entire system, including brake lines, disks, calipers, and even the tires.

At Quicken Truck & Trailer, we aim to provide a comprehensive brake repair service that keeps your vehicles safe. Our tried and tested method ensures we pick up any issues with brake pads or other system components before offering cost-effective and reliable solutions.

Extensive Inspection of Brake Pads, Brake Fluid, and Brake Bearings

During our in-depth brake inspection, we deconstruct the brake system to ensure a thorough examination from the brake pads to the brake discs, calipers, and hydraulic pressure system. We pay special attention to notifications on the steering wheel, such as the ABS light and brake light, as they are usually key indicators that you need brake repairs.

Brake Repair and Replacement

After our inspection, we provide a detailed brake service quote that typically includes the following:

• Replacement brake pads
• Brake rotor and drum resurfacing
• New brake fluid
• Adjusting brake parts to ensure your brakes work optimally

Bearing Repair and Replacement

Wheel bearings take a lot of strain; our regular brake services include repacking or replacing bearings when necessary.
