Costs vary depending on what needs replacing. Brake pad replacement is typically less expensive than if you need new rotors too. We provide upfront, transparent quotes with full explanations. As a local workshop, we keep prices competitive with Frankston brake specialists while never compromising on quality or safety. Contact us for a free quote specific to your vehicle.
It depends on the severity. If you're hearing metal-on-metal grinding, your pedal goes to the floor, or you have very limited braking, do NOT drive. Call us and we can discuss options like towing or mobile assessment. For less severe issues like squealing or minor vibration, driving carefully to our workshop (15 min from Frankston) is usually okay, but call us first to describe the symptoms.
Yes, we prioritize brake safety issues. If you're experiencing urgent brake problems, contact us and we'll do our best to see you the same day. We stock common brake parts for popular vehicles in the Frankston area, which allows us to complete many brake jobs quickly.
We inspect your brakes during every service. As a general rule, have them checked every 6 months or 10,000km. If you notice any warning signs (squealing, vibration, etc.), get them checked immediately. Frankston's coastal environment can accelerate brake wear due to salt air, so regular checks are important.
Don't wait until it's too late. Get your brakes checked by mechanics who put your safety first.

"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"
