Trailer Brake Repair in Irwindale & Los Angeles County
Electric and hydraulic trailer brake service that stops your load when it counts.
Trailer Brakes That Actually Stop
A loaded trailer can weigh more than the truck pulling it, and worn brakes turn every downhill grade and hard stop into a gamble. A&R services electric and hydraulic trailer brakes for work trailers, fleets, and haulers across Los Angeles County — so your rig stops straight and stops short.
We do not just swap pads and send you off. We test the full braking circuit, from the controller in your cab to the magnets at the drum, and find the actual reason your brakes feel soft, grab, or pull to one side.

Electric Trailer Brake Repair
Electric brakes are the most common system on utility, equipment, and cargo trailers. When they stop responding right, it’s usually damaged wiring, faulty magnets, worn shoes, poor grounding, drum wear, or a brake controller that has lost communication with the trailer.
- Brake wiring repair and magnet replacement
- Brake shoe and drum service
- Adjustment and troubleshooting for weak or inconsistent braking
- Repair of faulty electrical connections
Hydraulic Trailer Brake Repair
Hydraulic systems need clean components, dependable lines, and correct pressure. Leaking lines, soft pedal feel, sticking components, and worn parts all show up as poor stopping power on heavier commercial trailers.
- Brake line repair and replacement
- Wheel cylinder and hydraulic component service
- Diagnosis of poor or fading braking performance
- Brake restoration for older or heavily used trailers
Signs Your Trailer Brakes Need Repair
- Weak braking or a longer stopping distance
- Trailer pulling to one side or locking up
- Grinding, squealing, or brake controller warnings
- Fluid leaks on hydraulic systems
- Uneven wear on wheels, drums, or related components
Stops Tested Under Load
Brakes are not a guess-and-go repair. After service we verify the trailer brakes evenly and holds on a grade, because a brake that works empty is not the same as one that works loaded.
- Electric and hydraulic systems
- Tested loaded, not just empty
- Even, straight stopping
- Honest inspection first
