Brake Shoe Relining Specialists

Regular inspection and maintenance of your brake shoes are vital for ensuring the safety and efficiency of your vehicle or machinery. If you notice any of these signs, we recommend having your brake shoes professionally inspected and serviced to maintain optimal braking performance and safety standards.

• Reduced Braking Power: If you observe that your vehicle or machinery takes longer to stop or requires increased pressure on the brake pedal, it may indicate worn brake shoes that require attention.

• Squealing or Grinding Noises: Unusual sounds like squealing, grinding, or scraping when applying the brakes often signal worn brake shoes, indicating the need for replacement.

• Vibrations or Pulsations: Vibrations or pulsations felt through the brake pedal during braking could suggest uneven wear on the brake shoes, potentially leading to safety hazards and inefficient braking.

• Visible Wear: Check for visible signs of wear on your brake shoes. If the lining is worn down to less than a quarter of an inch, it’s likely time to consider relining or replacing the brake shoes.

• Pulling to One Side: If your vehicle or machinery pulls to one side when braking, it may be due to uneven brake shoe wear, which affects stability and handling.

• Burning Smell: A burning smell while braking could indicate overheated or worn brake shoes, requiring immediate attention to prevent further damage.

• Dashboard Warning Lights: Modern vehicles often feature dashboard warning lights signalling brake system issues. If the brake warning light is illuminated, prompt inspection of your brake shoes is essential.
