Brakes
Brake repair, pads and rotors
We measure what’s left on your pads and rotors and show you the photos. If they’ve got life in them, we’ll tell you how much, and you won’t pay for brakes you don’t need yet.

How pricing works
A written price before we pick up a wrench.
Brake jobs are quoted per axle, parts and labor together, in writing before we start. We’ll tell you if the rotors can be reused and what that saves.
Labor is [LABOR RATE] an hour, charged by the standard time for the job, not the time on the clock. Parts and labor are guaranteed for [WARRANTY MONTHS] months or [WARRANTY MILES] miles.

Brakes: common questions
Do I need new rotors every time I replace the pads?
Not always. We measure the rotors against the manufacturer’s minimum. If they’re within spec and not warped, we’ll say so and leave them.
How long does a brake job take?
One axle of pads and rotors usually takes one to two hours, so many customers wait. Book a morning slot and we’ll aim to have it back by lunch.
My brakes squeal but stop fine. Is it urgent?
Squealing is often the wear indicator telling you the pads are getting low. It isn’t an emergency, but book in soon. Grinding is more urgent, because it can mean metal on metal.
