Disc Brake Kits Vs. Hiring A Specialist: Part II
June 13th, 2017

In a previous blog post, we discussed the pros and cons of ordering a DIY disc brake kit to ensure all the necessary safety measures were met. This Part II continuation blog will dive into the second option of brake safety, where we will weigh out the pros and cons of hiring a specialist. When you are in the process of trying to figure out which trailer brake system is best for you, Performance Trailer Braking is here for you, regardless of what you decide on. Read on to see what advantages exist with hiring a specialist, and contact us today to get more information!
Hiring a Specialist
When working with Performance Trailer Braking, you have the option to work with a trained professional who can install the brakes your trailer needs. This is in contrast to ordering a DIY disc brake kit, which is an option that requires you to install the trailer brakes yourself.
Pros
- You'll have nothing to worry about! Hiring a specialist can be ideal for many people, because you won't have to worry about installing trailer brakes. A professional, one who is specifically trained in the art of trailer braking, will take care of everything for you. You can rest assured knowing that your trailer brake system will not only be installed properly, but it will be in the best hands out there.
- You don't have to leave your house (let alone your trailer). We at Performance Trailer Braking provide a mobile trailer brake installation service for most states. You read that right — we will come to you and your trailer! You don't have to worry about driving your trailer to some other auto shop, because if you're driving to get brakes installed, that means you'd have to drive without trailer brakes in the first place! We'll take care of it for you, and are happy to do so.
Cons
- A specialist will come to you, if you live in one of the states we currently serve. If you happen to live in one of the states that is not mobily serviced by Performance Trailer Braking, you will unfortunately not be able to have us come to your doorstep. This is an instance where ordering one of our disc brake kits might work better for you, as all the materials can still be delivered.
- You'll have to pay for additional labor costs. It makes sense that you'd need to pay extra costs for labor, especially when you factor in the fact that our professionals drive to you. However, if saving money is a higher priority for you, ordering a disc brake kit might be a better option.
Over the past two blog posts, we've gotten to dissect the two options Performance Trailer Braking offers for installing brakes for your trailer. No matter what option you go with, investing in Performance Trailer Braking is the smart move to make. Put your trailer in great hands - contact us for a disc brake kit or for trailer brake installation today!
"Truly one of a kind amazing people!!!!"
Hi Kelly,
I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for all your help getting this done but most importantly I wanted to really thank you for setting us up with John & Barbara for th Read Moree install.
Professional, polite, fun, knowledgeable and just simply decent people doesn’t even to begin to describe them. Your company is truly blessed to have them!! What an amazing team they are.
They both explained every step of the way what was going on, explained every part being used and it’s purpose. We left for a couple hours during the install and our campground neighbor was totally impressed that even while we were not there they kept working and never missed a beat!!!
After the install was complete John & Barbara hung around for a while going over everything and making sure I had no questions. I’ll be honest.. I’m not the most mechanical person and John made sure I understood everything and the proper way to maintain it as well as making sure I had all their contact information if I ever needed anything or had a problem or questions!!
Truly one of a kind amazing people!

"Dennis Knows His Stuff!"
Dennis knows his stuff! We connected through Performance Trailer Braking when I inquired about upgrading the brakes and suspension on our Momentum Toy Hauler. Dennis and his assistant, A Read Moresher, arrived right on time and got right to work. We had them swap out the factory suspension for the Road Master Comfort Ride slipper spring set up with shocks, Kodiak disc brakes, and Dexter 8k axles.
Super nice guys, very professional and efficient. They did all the above in about 8 hours. Dennis travels the west helping customers upgrade their suspension and braking systems. He also attends RV rallies to do prearranged upgrades.
I highly recommend Dennis of SonChaser RV for any suspension & brake upgrades you may be considering.

"The whole experience was exceptional"
Today John and Barbara came to our home in Virginia and installed the disk brake system. It was an exceptional installation. The equipment is very high quality. John and Barbara are a te Read Morerrific team. They showed up on time, went right to work, and displayed why their experience and expertise has made them the best. John and I took our truck and camper for a test/adjustment drive to ensure all was well and adjusted. The whole experience was exceptional.
Feel free to use me as a reference for Performance Braking and their ace installers.
