Brake repair isn't something you should be putting off until the last minute. At Block Diesel Repair in Janesville, Wisconsin, we take brake repair seriously. Our team of mechanics provides prompt and thorough brake repair services for both air and hydraulic systems.
Air Brake Repair
Air brakes are the preferred type of brakes for commercial, medium-, and heavy-duty diesel trucks due to their durability and stability. However, over time, the brake system may experience issues such as unbalanced or cracked brake shoes, improper loading, excessive brake fade, brake locking, damaged airlines, air contamination, or leaking fluid. Our team of experienced technicians is trained to diagnose and repair any issues with your air brake system, from air compressor repairs to brake chamber replacements.
Hydraulic Brake Repair
For light-duty diesel trucks, hydraulic brakes may be used for better performance. Our team is also equipped to diagnose and repair any issues with your hydraulic brake system, such as worn-out brake pads, malfunctioning brake adjusters, frozen brake lines or hoses in the winter, a leaking master cylinder, or air/water fluid contamination. If your brake pedal feels soft or spongy, or it vibrates when you press down on it, drop by our shop and we’ll repair it right away!
Brake Pads Service Interval
The lifespan of your brake pads can vary depending on multiple factors, such as the make and model of your truck, as well as your driving habits. On average, brake pads can last up to 80,000 miles, but if your brakes take a beating, they might last even less.
Neglecting to replace worn-out brake pads can compromise your truck's braking performance and pose a safety risk to you and other drivers on the road. We suggest you regularly check the thickness of your brake pads and replace them promptly when they start to wear down.

Great job. My mechanic Mitch did an incredible job. Arrived exactly on time. Finished the repair in record time and the price was very reasonable. And all on a Sunday morning. Great job! Keep up the awesome service.

They got me right in when I needed a repair during a trip. Fair pricing with quality work. Went there worried since on the road repairs can go so wrong but left very happy.
