Comprehensive Auto Brake Repair Services
We provide a full range of brake repair services to ensure your fleet vehicles perform at their best. Our services include:
Air Brakes
Air brakes use compressed air rather than hydraulic fluid to generate the stopping force needed for heavy-duty trucks, buses, trailers, and other commercial vehicles. Because these systems are designed to handle significantly heavier loads than passenger vehicles, they rely on multiple components working together to provide consistent, dependable braking performance.
Like any braking system, air brakes require routine inspections and maintenance to remain safe and reliable. Leaks, worn brake chambers, damaged airlines, or improperly adjusted components can reduce braking performance and increase stopping distances. At Hud's Auto Service, our experienced technicians can inspect, diagnose, and repair air brake systems to help keep your fleet operate safely and in compliance.
Brake Maintenance & Repair
Your fleet vehicle's braking system is one of its most important safety features. Whether you're hauling heavy cargo or making frequent stops throughout the day, properly functioning brakes are essential for maintaining control and protecting both the driver and everyone else on the road.
Warning signs such as squealing or grinding noises, vibrations while braking, increased stopping distances, or a soft brake pedal should never be ignored. Regular brake inspections allow worn components to be identified before they lead to more extensive damage or unexpected downtime. If your truck isn't braking as confidently as it should, the team at Hud's Auto Service can perform a complete brake system inspection and recommend the repairs needed to restore safe, reliable stopping power.
Hydraulic Brakes
While many heavy-duty commercial trucks use air brakes, some medium-duty trucks, delivery vehicles, and commercial vans are equipped with hydraulic braking systems. Hydraulic brakes work by using pressurized brake fluid to transfer force from the brake pedal to the brake calipers or wheel cylinders, allowing the vehicle to slow down safely and predictably.
Over time, hydraulic brake components such as brake lines, hoses, calipers, master cylinders, and seals can wear or develop leaks that reduce braking performance. Regular brake fluid inspections and routine maintenance help keep the system operating properly and can prevent more costly repairs down the road. Visit Hud's Auto Service or call us at 806-866-9898, our technicians will provide complete hydraulic brake inspections, diagnostics, and repairs to help keep your commercial vehicles operating safely and reliably.
What's Included in a Fleet Brake Inspection?
A thorough brake inspection looks beyond a single component to evaluate the condition and performance of the braking system as a whole. What gets inspected will vary depending on the vehicle and the type of braking system it uses.
During a fleet brake inspection, technicians may check:
- Brake pads or shoes
- Rotors or drums
- Brake calipers
- Brake fluid condition and level
- Brake hoses and lines
- Brake hardware
- ABS components
- Air brake components, where applicable
Regular inspections can help identify worn or damaged components before braking performance is affected, whether your fleet consists of service vans, pickup trucks, delivery vehicles, or larger commercial vehicles.
How Driving Conditions Affect Brake Wear
How quickly brakes wear depends heavily on how and where fleet vehicles are driven. Frequent stop-and-go traffic, urban delivery routes, heavy loads, towing, mountainous terrain, and repeated short trips can place additional demand on brake pads, rotors, and other braking components.
Because of these differences, brake maintenance shouldn't always follow a one-size-fits-all schedule. A local delivery fleet making dozens of stops each day may need brake inspections more frequently than vehicles that accumulate most of their mileage on highways. Factoring operating conditions into your preventive maintenance schedule can help catch excessive brake wear before it leads to larger repairs or unexpected downtime.

My company had a vehicle worked on at Hud's and the experience was great! Robert went right to work when i called about a quote and then followed it up with timely and quality service once the vehicle was dropped. always kept me updated and made sure my needs were met. will definitely send my friends and family your way and will be using you in the future.
Took my vehicle as a walk in and had it done very quickly. My vehicle is now running better than ever at half the price the other places would charge me!
We have been back in Lubbock just over 2 years. When we asked for a good reputable shop, Huds came highly recommended! Since we have been back, we have had my Jeep in a few times now. (I know Just Empty Every Pocket) From the first hello when you call to schedule-to the time of pick up- their customer service has been top notch and will keep us coming back! Thank you to every team member at Huds for your warm welcomes, friendly smiles, honesty, and helping me NOT empty every pocket!
