Parking Brake Service in Riverside, CA
Parking brakes that hold on a grade, adjusted or rebuilt in-shop.
Parking brake service fixes a commercial van handbrake that will not hold a loaded van on a grade or drags and overheats. Worn shoes, stretched cables, and seized actuators all let a heavy van creep, which is dangerous on Inland Empire hills and loading ramps.

Frequently asked questions
Why will my van parking brake not hold?
Usually worn shoes, a stretched or seized cable, or an out-of-adjustment mechanism. A loaded van on a grade needs the brake working correctly. We inspect the shoes, cables, and actuator in-shop and repair the cause.
My parking brake drags, what is wrong?
A dragging parking brake often comes from a sticking cable or actuator, or over-adjustment. It builds heat and wears parts. We loosen or replace the sticking component and adjust it correctly.
Do you service electronic parking brakes?
Yes. On vans with an electronic parking brake we reset and service the actuator with factory tools as part of the repair. We test that it holds on an incline before you pick up the van.
