Overview
Brakes are the one thing on a car you don't want to put off. We inspect pads, rotors, calipers and lines, replace what's worn, and tell you honestly what has life left in it. We also test and supply batteries, so a slow start in the morning can be sorted in the same visit as your tyres or alignment.

What's included
- Brake pad and rotor replacement
- Caliper and brake line checks
- Brake fluid checks

Frequently asked questions
How do I know my brakes need attention?
Squealing or grinding, a soft pedal, the car pulling when you brake, or a shudder through the pedal are all worth getting checked.
Can you check my battery?
Yes. We can test it while you wait and tell you whether it needs replacing or just a charge.
Do I need rotors every time I change pads?
Not always. If the rotors are within spec and not warped we'll leave them on and tell you so.
