Truck & Trailer Air Brake Repair in Edmonton

Air brake inspection and repair for trucks and trailers in Edmonton: drums, shoes, slack adjusters, chambers, valves and air leaks.

Brakes are the most common reason trucks are put out of service at roadside inspections. In the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance's 2025 International Roadcheck, across Canada, the US and Mexico, brake system violations made up almost a quarter of all vehicle out-of-service violations. Typical problems are push rods past their stroke limit, worn linings, cracked drums, and air leaks that stop the system building pressure fast enough.

A brake job usually starts with a full check of the air system, so a leaking valve or failing air dryer gets fixed along with the worn parts. Brakes are also checked in the annual CVIP inspection, so fixing them first can save a failed inspection. For trailer brakes, see semi trailer repair.
