Brakes are the part of your vehicle you don't think about until they let you down. We carry out free brake inspections with any service, and we'll only recommend replacement when pads or rotors are genuinely past their useful life. When work is needed, we use quality components matched to your vehicle, and we road-test every brake job before handing the keys back. Heavy towing or 4WD use? We'll talk through upgraded options if they make sense.
Not always. If the rotors are within minimum thickness and not warped or scored, they can usually be machined or left as they are. We measure them and recommend honestly, replacement only when it's actually needed.
It depends on how you drive, what you drive, and where you drive. Most pads last 40,000 to 80,000 km. Towing, hilly driving, and city stop-start use shorten that significantly.
Squealing or grinding when braking, a soft or low brake pedal, the car pulling to one side under braking, or a vibration through the pedal. Our free brake inspection (offered with any service) takes the guesswork out.
