Squealing, grinding, a soft pedal or a pull to one side? We look at it the same day, tell you exactly what the brakes need, and you approve the price before anything comes off. The $149 look is waived when we do the repair.

The call

004 / Straight answers

Asked all the time.

How do I know my brakes need doing?
Squealing or grinding when you brake, a pedal that feels soft or goes further than it used to, a shudder through the wheel, a pull to one side, or a brake warning light. Any one of those is worth a same-day look, and grinding means stop driving it if you can.
How much do brake pads cost in Brisbane?
It depends on the car and on what the pads have taken with them. Pads on their own are one price, pads and rotors another, and a European car is not a Corolla. We measure what is left on the pad and the rotor, show you, and quote the job before any work, GST included. You approve it first.
Do you machine rotors or replace them?
Whichever the measurement says. A rotor still above its minimum thickness can be machined; one below it, or warped, gets replaced. We tell you which and why, with the numbers, before we start.
How long does a brake job take?
Most pad and rotor jobs are done the same day. Wait in the lounge with coffee and a PlayStation 5, or drop the car and we text you when it’s ready.
