Find answers to common questions about brake inspections, servicing and repair requests.
What are common signs of a brake problem?
Common signs include unusual noises, vibration, longer stopping distance, uneven braking, warning indicators and changes in pedal feel.
Why does my vehicle pull to one side when braking?
Uneven braking may be connected to component wear, adjustment, pressure differences or another braking system concern. An inspection can help identify the likely cause.
Can you inspect air-brake problems?
A service request can be submitted for reported air-pressure, leakage, response or warning concerns. The appropriate inspection depends on the symptoms and vehicle system.
