Comprehensive Auto Brake Repair Services

We provide a full range of brake repair services to ensure your fleet vehicles perform at their best. Our services include:

Air Brakes
Air brakes use compressed air rather than hydraulic fluid to generate the stopping force needed for heavy-duty trucks, buses, trailers, and other commercial vehicles. Because these systems are designed to handle significantly heavier loads than passenger vehicles, they rely on multiple components working together to provide consistent, dependable braking performance.

Like any braking system, air brakes require routine inspections and maintenance to remain safe and reliable. Leaks, worn brake chambers, damaged airlines, or improperly adjusted components can reduce braking performance and increase stopping distances. At VanGelder's Automotive Inc., our experienced technicians can inspect, diagnose, and repair air brake systems to help keep your fleet operate safely and in compliance.

Brake Maintenance & Repair
Your fleet vehicle's braking system is one of its most important safety features. Whether you're hauling heavy cargo or making frequent stops throughout the day, properly functioning brakes are essential for maintaining control and protecting both the driver and everyone else on the road.

Warning signs such as squealing or grinding noises, vibrations while braking, increased stopping distances, or a soft brake pedal should never be ignored. Regular brake inspections allow worn components to be identified before they lead to more extensive damage or unexpected downtime. If your truck isn't braking as confidently as it should, the team at VanGelder's Automotive Inc. can perform a complete brake system inspection and recommend the repairs needed to restore safe, reliable stopping power.

Hydraulic Brakes
While many heavy-duty commercial trucks use air brakes, some medium-duty trucks, delivery vehicles, and commercial vans are equipped with hydraulic braking systems. Hydraulic brakes work by using pressurized brake fluid to transfer force from the brake pedal to the brake calipers or wheel cylinders, allowing the vehicle to slow down safely and predictably.

Over time, hydraulic brake components such as brake lines, hoses, calipers, master cylinders, and seals can wear or develop leaks that reduce braking performance. Regular brake fluid inspections and routine maintenance help keep the system operating properly and can prevent more costly repairs down the road. Visit VanGelder's Automotive Inc. or call us at 585-243-0470, our technicians will provide complete hydraulic brake inspections, diagnostics, and repairs to help keep your commercial vehicles operating safely and reliably.
