Brake complaints should be assessed as a complete system. Pad thickness matters, but rotor condition, hydraulic operation, tyres, suspension and ABS faults can all affect braking performance.
We measure friction components and inspect the hydraulic system before recommending parts. Brake vibration, noise and pedal feel each require different checks.
Common reasons to book
- Squealing or grinding
- Vibration under braking
- Soft or long brake pedal
- Vehicle pulls while braking
- Brake or ABS warning light
- Pads or rotors reported low
What we can assess
- Pad and rotor measurement
- Caliper and hydraulic inspection
- Brake hose checks
- Brake-fluid condition assessment
- ABS diagnosis when required
- Road-test verification where appropriate
