Parking Brake Service
Brake Repair — Cheyenne, WY
Parking brakes fail quietly — cables stretch and seize, shoes wear and rust, and you don't find out until the truck rolls on a grade or the brake won't release on a cold morning. In this climate, seized cables are common: moisture gets into the housing, freezes, and locks the brake on or off.
TDC services the full mechanical parking brake system: cables, shoes, drums-in-hat hardware, levers and adjusters — restoring a brake that actually holds a loaded truck on a hill, and releases when you need to drive away.
What's Included
- Seized and stretched cable replacement
- Parking brake shoe and hardware service
- Adjustment so it holds — and releases
- Trailer-holding capability for trucks that tow
- Fixed before it strands you on a cold morning
How TDC Handles Brake Work
- Inspect and measure
Pads, rotors, lines, hoses and fluid get inspected and measured — not eyeballed through a wheel.
- Show you the findings
You see the measurements and condition, and get a straight answer on what's urgent and what can wait.
- Repair with quality parts
Pads and rotors matched to how the vehicle is used — towing and heavy trucks get parts rated for it.
- Verify the fix
Every brake job ends with a road test and a re-check before the vehicle goes home.
