Professional Brake Controller Installation in Louisiana
Brake Controller Installation Near Me
At our shop, we know how important it is to tow your trailer safely. That’s why we install brake controllers—devices that let your vehicle control the trailer’s brakes when you stop. Whether you're hauling a horse trailer, boat trailer, or RV, having a working brake controller isn't just smart—it’s often required by law, especially if your trailer weighs over 3,000 pounds.
Brake controllers help keep your load steady when braking, prevent accidents, and protect your family and equipment on the road. From proportional brake controllers to time-delayed systems, we make sure everything works right and fits your setup.
We’ve been serving Louisiana trailer owners for years, and we take pride in doing the job right the first time. Our experienced team works with all types of trailers, and we stand by our work with honest service, fair pricing, and fast turnarounds.
What Is a Brake Controller?
When you're pulling a trailer, you need more than just your truck's brakes to stop safely. That's where a brake controller comes in. It’s a small device we install inside your truck that lets you control the trailer’s electric brakes smoothly. Every time you press the brake pedal, the controller sends a signal to slow down smoothly. There are two main types we work with:
Time-delayed brake controllers:
These apply the trailer brakes with a set delay after you hit the brakes. They’re simple and budget-friendly.
Proportional brake controllers:
These are more advanced. They match the braking force of your trailer to how hard you’re pressing the pedal in your truck.
