Signs your brakes need attention
  • Squealing or screeching when you brake

What we do

We inspect the pads, discs and rotors, calipers, lines and fluid, then replace worn pads, machine or replace rotors, and bleed the system before a road-test. As a direct brake-parts supplier, we've usually got the parts on hand, no waiting, no middleman markup.

How much does it cost?

It depends on your vehicle and what's worn, pads only is a smaller job than pads and rotors together. We check everything first and give you a clear, no-obligation quote before any work starts.

Common questions
How often should brakes be replaced?
It depends on how and where you drive. We'll check the wear and tell you honestly how much life is left.
Can I just do the pads?
Sometimes, if the rotors are still good. We'll tell you straight what's needed and what can wait.
My brakes squeal but feel fine, is it urgent?
Get it checked. Squealing is often an early warning, and catching it early keeps the repair small.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, we stand behind our workmanship and the parts we fit. We'll go over the warranty for your job when we quote it.
