Frequently asked questions
Why will my Sprinter parking brake not hold?
Usually worn shoes, a stretched or seized cable, or an out-of-adjustment mechanism. A heavy camper on a grade needs the brake working correctly. We inspect the shoes, cables, and actuator in-shop and repair the cause.
My parking brake drags, what is wrong?
A dragging parking brake often comes from a sticking cable or actuator or over-adjustment. It builds heat and wears parts. We free or replace the sticking component and adjust it correctly.
Do you service electronic parking brakes?
Yes. On vans with an electronic parking brake we reset and service the actuator with factory tools as part of the repair. We test it holds on an incline before you pick up the van.
