Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How often should I have my trailer brakes inspected?
It's recommended to have your trailer brakes inspected every 12,000 miles or at least once a year, especially if you frequently travel through areas like Fauquier and Culpeper counties. Regular inspections help identify wear and tear early, ensuring optimal performance and safety. More frequent inspections may be necessary for trailers used in demanding conditions, such as hauling heavy loads or frequent stops.
Q2: What are the signs that my trailer brakes need servicing?
Warning signs include unusual noises during braking, reduced stopping power, uneven tire wear, or a spongy brake pedal. If you notice any of these, schedule a service promptly. Additionally, if your trailer pulls to one side when braking or if you experience vibrations, these could indicate underlying brake issues that require immediate attention.
Q3: Do you service both electric and hydraulic brake systems?
Our technicians are trained to service electric and hydraulic brake systems, ensuring comprehensive care for your trailer regardless of its braking mechanism. We also handle electric over hydraulic (EOH) systems, which combine the benefits of both types, providing enhanced braking performance for heavier loads.
Q4: Can you perform brake services on-site?
While our primary services are conducted at our Midland facility, we offer limited mobile services for emergency situations within the surrounding areas. Our mobile service is equipped to handle various brake issues, providing convenience and reducing downtime for our clients.
Q5: How long does a typical brake service take?
Most brake services are completed within a day. However, the exact duration depends on the complexity of the repair and parts availability. For instance, replacing brake shoes on a standard axle may take approximately 1.5 hours per side, but additional repairs could extend this timeframe.
Q6: Do you provide warranties on brake repairs?
Yes, we offer warranties on both parts and labor for our brake services, providing you with added assurance and peace of mind. Our warranty terms are designed to ensure customer satisfaction and confidence in the quality of our workmanship.
Q7: Is it necessary to replace brake drums or rotors during every service?
Not always. We assess the condition of drums and rotors during each service and only recommend replacement if they are beyond safe operational limits. In many cases, resurfacing or machining can restore their functionality, prolonging their lifespan and maintaining braking efficiency.
Q8: How can I schedule a brake service appointment?
You can schedule an appointment by visiting our website or contacting our Midland office directly. We strive to accommodate your schedule and service needs promptly. Our team is dedicated to providing timely and efficient service to minimize any disruptions to your operations.
