Truck and trailer brake repair in Long Grove, IL

Brakes are the part of the truck an inspector looks at first and the part you cannot argue with on a downgrade. We do air brake work on both tractors and trailers, in the same visit.

Why bring it to Truck Shark

We are a shop-based diesel repair facility at 7101 IL Rt 83, Long Grove, IL 60060, right on Route 83 and a few minutes from I-94. Tractor, trailer and reefer work happens in the same bays, so one visit can cover the whole rig instead of two stops at two shops.

Questions

About brake repair

Can you do brakes on the trailer too?
Yes. Trailers go in the same bays. Drop the whole rig and get both ends handled on one visit.
Will you find what fails an inspection?
Yes. We check pushrod travel, lining thickness, drums and air loss, and we fix what fails right here instead of sending you somewhere else.
