Trailer Brake Repair

Trailer brake repair is essential to keep your trailer stopping safely and in sync with your towing vehicle. Whether you’re hauling cargo, equipment, or recreational vehicles, the braking system is one of the most critical components of your trailer. Worn or malfunctioning brakes can lead to uneven stopping, longer braking distances, or dangerous sway during travel—especially at highway speeds or on steep inclines.

Brake systems on trailers come in different types: electric brakes, hydraulic surge brakes, or air brakes depending on the size and use of the trailer. Over time, all of them can face wear and tear due to heat, friction, exposure to the elements, or lack of regular service. Common signs of brake issues include grinding noises, pulling to one side when stopping, overheating hubs, or a noticeable drop in braking power.

JNH Truck & Trailer Repair specializes in diagnosing and fixing trailer brake issues accurately and efficiently. From replacing worn brake pads and shoes to servicing drums, rotors, magnets, and actuators—we handle it all. Electrical connections and wiring are also thoroughly inspected to ensure brake signals function correctly with your tow vehicle. Whether it’s a light utility trailer or a heavy-duty gooseneck hauler, proper brake function is essential not only for the trailer but for the safety of everything behind the wheel.

Our brake repair service covers both scheduled maintenance and urgent fixes. If you’re noticing performance issues or it’s been a while since your last check, getting a professional inspection can help avoid more costly damage down the line. We also handle complete brake system overhauls for trailers that need a full refresh to meet inspection standards or prepare for long-distance travel.

Convenient service options include in-shop repairs and mobile brake repairs, so even if your trailer can’t be moved, help can still come to you. Brake repairs are carried out with durable, high-quality parts built for reliability under real-world conditions.

If your trailer’s braking system isn’t performing the way it should, don’t ignore the warning signs.
