Your safety is our priority. Expert brake inspections, repairs, and replacements to keep you safe on the road.
Your brakes are the most important safety system in your vehicle. At Rodz Automotive, we provide comprehensive brake inspections, repairs, and replacements to keep you and your family safe on the road. From squeaky brakes to complete brake failure, we've got you covered.
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, book a brake inspection immediately. Don't risk your safety.
High-quality brake pads that match or exceed manufacturer specifications. We'll never install cheap pads that compromise your safety.
Rotor machining (if possible) or replacement. We measure rotor thickness and check for warping to ensure safe, smooth braking.
Brake fluid flush and replacement. Old brake fluid absorbs moisture, reducing braking performance and causing corrosion.
Thorough inspection of brake pads, rotors, calipers, brake lines, and fluid. We check everything and explain what we find.
We check pad thickness, rotor condition, brake fluid quality, calipers, and brake lines.
We'll show you what we found and explain what needs attention now versus what can wait.
Transparent pricing with no hidden fees. We only proceed with your approval.
Professional installation using quality parts that meet or exceed manufacturer specs.
We test drive your vehicle to ensure everything works perfectly before you pick it up.
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.
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.
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.
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"
