Truck Brake Repairs

Heavy-Duty Truck Brake Services

Heavy-duty diesel trucks are built to carry thousands of pounds of weight. This puts a lot of strain on your truck's brakes, which typically have powerful, complex braking systems. Unlike passenger vehicles, diesel trucks generally have air brakes that use pressurized air that allow your truck to bring all that weight to a safe, complete stop.

Because of the complexity and uniqueness of these braking systems, you need a true specialist to repair and service your truck's brakes. That's where Springfield Diesel comes into the picture. You can trust our experienced, skilled technicians to maintain and fix every aspect of your truck's brakes. Call (417) 429-9300 for an estimate. We're fully certified to work on all trucks' brake systems.

Signs of Problems With Your Air Brakes

If it takes longer than usual to charge your air brakes, there may be an issue that needs investigating. Air brake systems use large compressors to continually supply them with air. If you've noticed that the time to charge the compressor is longer than normal, there is likely a leak somewhere in the system. This can happen due to the parts aging and regular wear and tear.

One of the most common ways to tell there's a problem with your brakes is if you notice they've become loud and are making screeching sounds. Brake pads will wear down and need to be changed from time to time. If they aren't, you'll have two metal components scraping against each other making that unpleasant sound.
