Call to book, same-day a brake service is often available.
Signs your brakes need attention.
Squealing or grinding
A high-pitched squeal usually means the wear indicator is contacting the rotor, grinding means it's well overdue.
Soft or spongy pedal
A pedal that sinks further than usual, especially braking hard down Adelaide Avenue, points to air or a fluid issue.
Vibration through the pedal
Judder under braking at speed on the Tuggeranong Parkway is a classic sign of warped rotors.
Car pulls under braking
Pulling to one side when you brake can mean a sticking caliper or uneven pad wear, worth checking before it gets worse.
Everything included, no surprises.
Pads & Rotors
Quality replacement parts matched to your vehicle and driving style.

Canberra locals rate us 5.0 out of 5
"Booked a set of four tyres online and dropped the car off on my way to work. Ready by lunchtime, balanced perfectly and the price matched the quote exactly."
"Had a slow leak that turned out to be a nail in the sidewall. They were upfront that it couldn’t be repaired and had a replacement tyre fitted within the hour."
"Logbook service done properly, stamped and everything, for a lot less than the dealership quoted. Will be bringing both our cars here from now on."
"Steering was pulling to the left after some suspension work elsewhere. Wheel alignment fixed it completely, and they showed me the before and after printout."
"Punctured a tyre on the Federal Highway. Called ahead, they had it repaired the same afternoon and even checked the tread on the other three at no extra cost."
"Vibration through the wheel at highway speed turned out to be a balancing issue. Sorted in under 40 minutes and hasn’t come back since."

Canberra's hilly suburbs, from the Mount Ainslie descent to Red Hill and the Brindabellas foothills, work brakes harder than flat-city driving. We replace pads and rotors on everything from city hatchbacks to tradie utes, and we'll always show you the actual wear before recommending a repair.
