Some of the signs that there are problems with your brakes include:

  • A grinding or squealing sound when you press the brake pedal
    Listen to grinding or squealing sounds when you brake, this might mean you need new brake pads. To further check this issues its best to look at your brake pads and see if they have at least 1/4 inch of the pad left. If brake pads are worn out the outside pad brushes against the metal rotor causing a grinding or squealing sound.
  • A spongy brake pedal
    A spongy brake pedal is caused due to air in the brake system. When there is air in the brake system, it prevents brake fluid from flowing properly. This results in a spongy brake pedal and may require brake fluid flush.
  • The car pulling to one side when you brake
    If you car is pulling to one side on braking it may be due to worn or warped rotors, it may also cause the vehicle to vibrate in certain conditions. Sometimes this can be caused due to contamination on the braking surface.
  • The brake warning light illuminating
  • The brake pedal is hard to press
  • A pulsating feeling when brakes are applied

Yes we offer the ability to pay through Zip pay or Zip Money. See Zip website for terms and conditions.

Can I supply my own parts and just pay for labour?

Our policy is no, we do not fit parts supplied by customers as we want to be able to warranty our work and when the parts are supplied it becomes messy if there is a warranty issue. It keeps it much clearer if we provide both parts and labor.
