Brake Systems Inspection & Repair
Comprehensive air, drum, and ABS brake service for Class 8 trucks — dependable performance in all weather.
Schedule a Brake InspectionWhen Brake Service Matters
Your braking system is among the most critical safety components on a heavy-duty truck. Over time, brake shoes, drums, lines, and air systems degrade — especially under heavy loads and Manitoba’s extreme weather cycles.
- Full brake inspection every 80,000-120,000 km (or at least annually)
- Air-brake checks at each preventive maintenance visit (25,000-30,000 km)
- Immediate inspection if you notice:
- Soft or spongy pedal feel
- Increased stopping distance
- Uneven braking or pulling
- Warning lights or ABS faults
Common Issues We See
- Worn or glazed brake shoes/linings
- Worn or out-of-round drums/rotors
- Faulty slack adjusters, S-cams, or bushings
- Air line or valve leaks/wear
- ABS sensor failures or wiring faults
Winter Watch - Manitoba Conditions
- Moisture in air tanks freezing, causing blockages
- Salt corrosion on drums/linkages
- Brake drums locking when wet in freezing temps
- Condensation inside lines forming ice
- Brittle seals increasing air-leak risk
Preventive Tips
- Drain air tanks regularly to avoid moisture freeze
- Use quality air dryers and replace filters on schedule
- Inspect slack adjusters and cams before winter
- Apply anti-corrosion treatments to exposed parts
- Perform a warm-up brake cycle before heavy braking
