Your brakes are your most important safety system. We inspect, repair, and replace brake components properly โ using quality parts, with honest advice on what actually needs doing.
When your brakes need attention, you want it done right. At Rodz Automotive, we take brake work seriously โ proper inspection, quality parts, and no unnecessary upselling. We'll tell you exactly what needs replacing and what's still fine.
Braking issues are one of the most common causes we see on the Peninsula. Coastal driving conditions โ humidity, salt air, and stop-start traffic โ are tough on brake components. We know what to look for.
Any of these? Don't wait. Brakes are a safety item โ get them checked today.
Quality brake pads fitted and bedded in correctly. We check rotor condition at the same time and advise honestly on whether they need machining or replacement.
Warped or worn rotors cause vibration and reduce stopping power. We machine or replace rotors as needed โ no blanket upselling of parts that don't need replacing.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, lowering its boiling point and causing a spongy pedal. We test and replace it when it's due โ especially important in coastal environments.
Complete inspection of pads, rotors, calipers, lines, and handbrake โ with a written report. Great for used cars or vehicles that haven't been checked in a while.
It depends on what needs doing. Pad replacement, rotor replacement, and fluid flushes are priced separately. Contact us and we'll give you an honest quote once we know what your car needs.
In most cases yes โ brake pad and rotor replacement is usually a same-day job. Call us in the morning and we'll do our best to get you sorted that day.
Not always. Front brakes typically wear faster than rears. We'll check both and only recommend what actually needs doing โ we're not going to replace parts that have life left in them.
Don't ignore brake issues. Book in today โ we'll tell you honestly what needs doing.

"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"
