What We Do?Air BrakesOur Services

Air brake systems are complex and must operate flawlessly to ensure the safety of your drivers, cargo, and everyone else on the road. Over time, brake components can wear down, air pressure levels can fluctuate, and systems can develop leaks. Left unchecked, these issues can lead to brake failure, putting your vehicles and drivers at serious risk.

Dragon Diesel Mechanical’s expert technicians are trained to inspect, service, and repair all components of your air brake system to ensure optimal performance. With decades of experience in servicing 18-wheelers, we provide thorough inspections that include:

• Checking air compressor function and pressure levels
• Inspecting and replacing worn brake shoes, pads, and drums
• Examining brake chambers, hoses, and lines for leaks or damage
• Ensuring proper adjustment of slack adjusters and brake balance
• Testing air pressure to detect any fluctuations or inconsistencies

We take a proactive approach to maintaining air brake systems, identifying minor issues before they escalate into major problems. Our comprehensive air brake service includes:

• Visual Inspection
  Our team will start with a thorough visual inspection of your air brake system, checking for obvious signs of wear, damage, or leaks.
• System Testing
  We will test the air pressure and overall system performance to ensure everything is functioning as it should. This includes monitoring air compressor output, pressure build-up time, and the overall condition of the air reservoir tanks.
• Component Maintenance
  Any worn or damaged components, such as brake shoes, drums, or valves, will be repaired or replaced to keep your air brakes functioning properly.
• Adjustment and Calibration
  We’ll make sure your air brake system is balanced and properly adjusted to ensure even braking power across all wheels, preventing unnecessary wear and tear on your truck’s braking system.
• Leak Detection
  Leaks in the air system can cause a significant drop in braking power. We check all hoses, fittings, and valves for potential leaks, ensuring your air brakes maintain proper pressure.

Routine air brake maintenance not only enhances the performance of your 18-wheelers but also ensures compliance with federal regulations. Regular inspections help prevent violations during roadside checks and reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns. Our services help your fleet stay on the road longer with fewer interruptions and costly repairs.
