Semi truck brake repair Orlando FL — air brake S-cam and drum service at Top Rides

Heavy-Duty Brake Service We Do

We’re not a car shop that occasionally sees a Class 8. Trucks and trailers are what we work on. Our brake service covers:

  • Air brake system diagnosis and repair (low air, slow buildup, leaks, governor issues)
  • Brake shoe and brake drum replacement
  • S-cam brake rebuilds and slack adjuster replacement
  • Brake chamber replacement (30/30, long-stroke, piggyback)
  • Air dryer service and replacement
  • ABS module diagnosis on tractors and trailers
  • Foundation brake inspection for DOT and CSA compliance
  • Air line and gladhand repair
  • Trailer brake repair, including drop-in axle work

If you’ve got a CSA inspection coming up, or you just failed one on brake adjustment or hose chafing, we can usually turn it the same day or next day depending on parts.

Semi Trailer Brake Repair

Trailers eat brake components fast — especially if you’re running heavy out of the Port of Tampa or pulling reefer loads through Central Florida heat. We do trailer brake repair on dry vans, reefers, flatbeds, dumps, and tankers. Common stuff we see: dragging brakes from a stuck slack adjuster, frozen S-cams from corrosion, ABS sensor faults, leaking brake chambers, and drums worn past spec.

If your trailer is parked at a yard nearby and not moving, we can talk on the phone before you tow it in — sometimes it’s a parking brake issue you can free up yourself.

Commercial Truck Brake Repair

Box trucks, day cabs, sleepers, dumps, and other Class 6–8 commercial vehicles all come through here. Hydraulic brakes on a medium-duty box truck are a different animal from full air brakes on a sleeper — we set up for both. If you run a fleet, we’ll work directly with your fleet manager, send photos before we touch anything, and price the job before we start.

When You Should Bring It In

Don’t wait on any of these:

  • The pedal feels low, spongy, or goes to the floor
  • Air pressure builds slow or the warning buzzer comes on at idle
  • You hear grinding, squealing, or a metallic scraping sound when you stop
  • The truck pulls hard left or right under braking
  • A trailer brake is dragging — you can smell it, feel it, or see smoke from a wheel
  • Brake adjustment is past the legal stroke limit
  • The ABS light is on, on the tractor or the trailer
  • You’re due for a DOT or CSA inspection and haven’t had a foundation brake check this year

A brake job costs less than an out-of-service citation, and a lot less than an accident.

Why Drivers Use Us

We’re not the cheapest shop in Orlando, and we’re not trying to be. What you get instead:

  • ASE-certified mechanics who actually work on trucks (not “trained” on cars)
  • We do the diagnostic before quoting, not after
  • Photos and a written estimate before any work starts
  • OEM and quality aftermarket brake parts — Bendix, Haldex, Meritor, MGM
  • Bilingual shop (English and Russian) — helpful if you’ve got a driver who’d rather not work through a language barrier
  • We work on all makes: Freightliner, Peterbilt, Kenworth, Volvo, Mack, International

We’ve been doing this in Orlando for years. Our Google rating is 4.5 across 60 reviews, and most of those reviews are from owner-operators and small fleets that came back.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does semi truck brake repair cost in Orlando?

A foundation brake job (shoes, drums, hardware) on one axle position usually runs $700–$1,400 depending on parts and whether the drums need replacement or can be turned. Replacing brake chambers is roughly $200–$350 each installed. We always quote before we start. Call (407) 591-6747 with your VIN and year/make/model and we’ll give you a number over the phone.

Do you do semi trailer brake repair?

Yes. Trailer brakes, ABS, chambers, slack adjusters, drums, shoes, and gladhand work. Bring the trailer with or without the tractor — we have yard space.

Can you do brake repair the same day?

Most of the time, yes, if you call in the morning. Common parts (shoes, drums, chambers, slack adjusters for the major brands) are stocked. If a less common part has to come from a vendor, we’ll usually have it the next day.

Do you work on commercial trucks under a fleet account?

Yes. We work with fleet managers directly, send before/after photos, and can invoice on net-30 with a credit application. Call the shop and ask for the fleet desk.

Where are you located in Orlando?

9640 Sidney Hayes Rd, Orlando, FL 32824. We’re south Orlando, near the SR-417 / Florida’s Turnpike interchange, easy in/out for any size rig.

Do you do mobile or roadside brake repair?

We don’t run a separate mobile brake truck for full repairs (a real brake job needs the shop), but we do offer roadside assistance for emergency situations — if your air system has a leak you can’t trace or you need help getting back to the shop, call (407) 591-6747.

What hours are you open?

Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM. For roadside emergencies outside those hours, call the main number — it routes to the on-call technician.
