Brake Repair
Does your truck shudder, squeal, or need extra runway before it stops? Quality brake repair performed on time keeps you, your cargo, and everyone around you safe while saving you from costly downtime.
Truck Brake Repair in Jenison, MI
Pressurized air, heat, and heavy loads push every brake component to its limits. That’s why our technicians begin each truck brake repair with a full system evaluation. We inspect and replace air lines that show chafing, verify chamber push-rod travel, and measure lining thickness against spec. Wheel ends come apart so we can examine drums for heat-checking and swap worn brake shoes before rivets score metal. If your anti-lock brake system (ABS) throws a fault, we scan codes and run dynamic tests to pinpoint sensors or modulators. Precise brake adjustment restores balanced stopping power, and we finish with a 20-PSI leak-down test to prove system integrity. When parts are beyond limits, we recommend preventive brake replacement using OEM or Parts Plus-backed components, so you roll out confident in every stop.
What Makes Us Different
You deserve straight answers and zero run-around. As a Certified Parts Plus service center, we back labor and parts with nationwide coverage—peace of mind whether you’re hauling grain across Michigan or responding in a ladder truck. Need specialty support? We’re one of the few shops in West Michigan offering fire-truck towing and even fire-trucks for sale, proof of our confidence in critical braking systems. Most of our team hold master certifications, and owner Joe Kleyn still turns wrenches beside them—a habit forged on his Tasmanian family farm. Joe refuses to turn honest work away, so no matter the make or model, there’s always a tech who knows how to fix it. Add a 100-mile mobile radius and weekday hours from 7 AM to 5 PM, and you get service that fits your schedule, not the other way around.

FAQs

Why Are My Brakes Failing On My Semi-Truck?
Air systems need clean, dry, high-pressure air to create force at the drums. Moisture, leaky diaphragms, or worn Brake shoes drop pressure, trigger dash warnings, and lengthen stopping distance. Ignoring the signs lets heat crack drums and glaze linings, eventually causing sudden loss of braking power.
How Do You Check Brakes On A Semi-Truck?
Technicians chock wheels, drain reservoirs to test compressor recovery, and measure push-rod stroke with a ruler. They remove inspection plugs to view lining wear and feel for cracked drums. Finally, they perform a timed leak-down and ABS self-check to confirm the entire system is road-ready.
