My friend and driver always bragged on how great Brechbill Trailer Sales was, how great the prices, personal customer service was. I run a fleet of Hotshot Trucks and Gooseneck Trailers, and I am the creator and admin of Hotshot-USA Resource network, www.Hotshot-USA.com. I manage a large network for our industry. Recently I was in a bind. I had converted my elec Drum Brakes to Elec over Hydraulic disk. After a couple years I needed rotors, pads, and they were manufactured by DeeMax components. My trailer guys were unable and back ordered on parts, my trailer repair couldn't find them. I called and looked furiously for them . When I did finally find them, they were $300 more than Brechbill. I remembered that my driver had mentioned that I give them a call. I did, talked to Justin and others there, Great service, They found, quoted and overnighted my parts straight to my shop. I was so impressed with them that I am adding them to my Hotshot Connections and told my friends in the business to contact them for all their parts. When I find a business like this that can help my trailers and my members, I get excited. I look forward to a long relationship with them. I honestly believe that you can not find a better source for all your trailer needs. Don't get jacked by high mark ups on parts. Just because we are in need, no need to take advantage of us, Buy with confidence. 100% REAL TALK!
I had to crank up the trailer brake controller quite a bit after popping in these brake shoes.
Swapping them out was pretty easy. I just wish they had a tougher paint job or maybe even a galvanized finish, you know? After all, these are gonna be used in both fresh and saltwater.
Steel backed but good
Had eight launches in saltwater and my ceramic pad got detached from the steel backing plate. The manufacturer won’t cover it if you’re living near saltwater. So now, I’m cleaning it with a salt eliminator after every launch.
Haven’t got around to installing these yet. You know, good old mineral brake material would do the trick too. Ceramic might be your thing if you’re frequently hitting the trails, I guess. Me? I’m a one-time per season kind of person, so I’ll never wear them out. Could’ve saved some bucks, you know. Regardless of whether it’s ceramic, rust and pad peeling from the steel shoe plate is inevitable. The brake material is just stuck to the steel shoe plate, not riveted.
