Regular inspections can help identify wear before it becomes a safety concern.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my brake pads need replacing?

Brake pads may produce squealing noises, reduced braking performance or be identified during inspection when they approach their wear limit.

Can brake discs be machined?

In some cases, yes. This depends on the condition and remaining thickness of the disc. Our team will inspect and advise on the most suitable option.

Is it safe to drive with noisy brakes?

Brake noises should always be investigated. Some noises may indicate normal wear, while others can indicate components that require immediate attention.

How It Works

1

Brake Inspection

We start with a thorough inspection of your brake pads, discs (rotors), calipers, and fluid levels to assess their condition.

2

Brake Pad Replacement

Brake pads wear out over time due to friction with the brake disc. If the pads are too thin or worn out, they’re replaced with high-quality, manufacturer-recommended pads.

3

Brake Disc (Rotor) Check & Resurfacing

Brake discs (rotors) can become warped or grooved from heat and friction. We inspect the discs and resurface them if necessary to ensure smooth and even braking. If the discs are too damaged, we replace them.

4

Caliper Inspection & Lubrication

We inspect the calipers for leaks or signs of wear. If needed, we lubricate the caliper pins and ensure that they move smoothly to maintain even brake pressure.

5

Brake Fluid Check & Replacement

Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which reduces its effectiveness. We check the brake fluid levels and quality, and if necessary, replace the fluid to ensure proper braking performance.

6

Road Test

After servicing your brakes, we take your car for a road test to ensure that the brakes are functioning correctly and that there’s no abnormal noise or vibration.
