Our Brake Services

Brake Rotor Service

Rotor machining (if possible) or replacement. We measure rotor thickness and check for warping to ensure safe, smooth braking.

Brake Service FAQs

How often should I replace my brake pads?

It depends on your driving style and conditions, but most brake pads last 40,000-70,000km. City driving with frequent braking wears pads faster than highway driving. We inspect your brake pads during every service and let you know when they're getting close to replacement.

Why do my brakes squeal?

Squealing can indicate worn brake pads (most common), glazed rotors, or simply brake dust buildup. Sometimes new brake pads squeal until they're bedded in. We'll diagnose the exact cause and recommend the right solution - which might be as simple as a good clean, or might require pad replacement.

How much does a brake job cost?

Costs vary depending on what needs replacing. Brake pad replacement typically costs less than if you also need new rotors. We provide upfront quotes with full transparency - no surprises. Contact us for a free quote specific to your vehicle.

Can I drive with worn brakes?

No. Worn brakes significantly increase your stopping distance and can fail completely, putting you and others at serious risk. If you're experiencing brake issues, get your car inspected immediately. We offer same-day brake inspections for urgent situations.

"Very thorough and fair, Howard has picked things up that would have cost a lot more later if missed! Great service and he explains everything. We moved interstate and the new mechanic commented on how well the car had been looked after. 10/10"
