Truck Brake Repair in Buchanan, MI
Brake issues can’t be ignored. Whether your pedal feels soft or you're noticing longer stopping distances, these are red flags that your system needs attention. Our mobile service makes it easy for you to stay on schedule without the hassle of traveling to a shop.
Modern braking systems rely on compressed air to function properly. Over time, components like the brake shoes, air lines, and brake drum can wear down, leading to reduced stopping power and safety concerns. You might also notice issues related to the compressed air system or the anti-lock brake system (ABS).
If you’re hearing grinding noises, feeling vibrations when braking, or seeing a brake warning light, it’s time to act. We provide inspections, replacements, and adjustments that help keep your vehicle operating smoothly and safely. One call and we’ll bring the solution to you.

What Are the Most Common Brakes on Semi Trailers?
Most semi trailers rely on air brake systems, with drum brakes being the most common. These brakes operate using compressed air to push brake shoes against a brake drum, creating friction that stops the trailer. Some modern trailers also use disc brakes, which offer faster cooling and stronger stopping power under heavy loads.
How Do I Know If My Semi Brake Drums Need Replacing?
Brake drums typically need replacement when they become cracked, warped, or worn beyond safe limits. Signs to watch for include vibrations during braking, unusual noises, and longer stopping distances. A visual inspection by a qualified technician can confirm whether the drum has reached its wear limit and needs replacing.
