"My lining life has increased by over 20% on drive axle shoes and over 50% on the steer axles"

"Prior to discovering Marathon Brake linings, my fleet had chronic issues with rust jacking leading to premature removal of the brake shoe. Although I tried many different brake products, nothing solved my problem. Once I found Marathon's Heat Star lining I was completely hooked. Converting to Heat Star has completely solved my rust jacking issues. Since I began using Heat Star 5 years ago, I've never had a brake shoe issue, and my lining life has increased by over 20% on drive axle shoes and over 50% on the steer axles. Because I know that Heat Star is a stronger, higher density material, I no longer have concerns about stopping safely, which is important for my fleet - a truckload carrier. Overall, Heat Star has saved me the cost of a brake job over the life of each of my vehicles, which has resulted in a great savings for Houff Transfer Inc."
