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 Hensley's Family 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 Hensley's Family 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 Hensley's Family Auto Service or call us at 434-481-8000, our technicians will provide complete hydraulic brake inspections, diagnostics, and repairs to help keep your commercial vehicles operating safely and reliably.

Wayne and his team are the best. They went above and beyond to provide great customer service and repairs at a very fair and reasonable price. I recommend them highly and will take all my cars to Wayne going forward. Scott Widener, 12/29/2023 |
These folks are amazing! I ran out of gas directly across from their shop and called to ask for a gas can to borrow. Instead of just letting me borrow a can, the gentleman came out with a can of fuel and filled my vehicle so that I could make it to a gas station. He would not accept any money for the help or the fuel. What a kind and generous gesture! Very wonderful people! Allison l Jeffrey, 01/09/2023 |
Great place! I had to get headlight bulbs put in my car. They did this for no charge which was incredibly nice of them. I have had my car serviced there in the past and will continue to do so. I highly recommend them for all your car needs. And as a bonus there is always some kind of animal to see! Sue Landes, 03/25/2022 |
