Expert Repair FAQ: San Antonio Authority

Does Texas require DOT inspections in 2026?

Yes. While safety inspections were removed for passenger cars, annual safety inspections remain mandatory for all commercial motor vehicles (CMV) over 10,001 lbs. Automotive Brake & Clutch is an official station for these inspections in San Antonio.

What is a Hydromax brake booster failure?

Common Hydromax booster failures include internal seal leaks, a failing backup electric motor, or flow switches that stick. We provide precision diagnostic estimates to ensure your truck’s stopping power is restored.
