Clear Checks, Quality Repairs
Brakes and clutches aren’t something to ignore or guess about, which is why we start every job with a proper inspection of pads, rotors, calipers, fluid levels, and clutch components like cables, hydraulics, and plates. We’ll let you know exactly what’s in good shape and what needs attention, without overloading you with technical jargon. Our repairs include everything from brake fluid top-ups and rotor replacements to full clutch system rebuilds, depending on what your vehicle needs. If your car is part of a small business fleet or used for long commutes, we can help set up regular brake and clutch checks to prevent bigger problems down the track. It’s all about giving you peace of mind that your vehicle will stop and shift smoothly when it matters most.

How do I know if my brakes need repairing?
There are several warning signs that may indicate your brakes need repairing. These include squealing, grinding, or clicking noises when braking, a soft or spongy brake pedal, vibrations through the steering wheel, or the car pulling to one side when stopping. You might also notice that the brake warning light appears on your dashboard or that it takes longer than usual to come to a complete stop. These symptoms typically point to issues such as worn brake pads, damaged rotors, low brake fluid, or problems with the brake calipers. It's important to have your brakes checked promptly if you notice any of these signs, as delaying repairs can reduce stopping power and compromise your safety on the road.
What are the signs of a worn-out clutch?
A worn-out clutch can show several noticeable symptoms. Common signs include difficulty shifting gears, a slipping clutch (where the engine revs but the vehicle doesn’t accelerate as expected), a burning smell during gear changes, or a stiff or spongy clutch pedal. You might also feel vibrations or hear unusual noises when engaging the clutch. These issues are often caused by worn clutch plates, a failing pressure plate, or problems with the clutch cable or hydraulic system. A slipping clutch in particular can significantly affect performance and fuel efficiency. If left unrepaired, it can lead to complete clutch failure, which may require a more expensive replacement. Early diagnosis and repair are key to avoiding additional damage to the transmission system.
How often should brakes and clutches be checked or replaced?
The lifespan of brakes and clutches varies depending on driving habits, vehicle type, and road conditions. Brake pads typically last between 30,000 and 70,000 kilometres, while rotors may last longer depending on use. If you drive in stop-start traffic, tow heavy loads, or frequently drive downhill, your brakes may wear out faster. Clutches, on the other hand, can last anywhere from 80,000 to over 150,000 kilometres, but aggressive driving, towing, or frequent gear changes can shorten their lifespan. It’s a good idea to have both systems inspected during regular servicing. Mechanics will assess the thickness of brake pads, condition of rotors, fluid levels, and any clutch wear. Staying on top of inspections can help catch issues early and reduce the risk of sudden failure or more costly repairs.
