Brakes FAQ
Common questions
Do I need new rotors or can they be machined?
If there’s enough thickness left, machining gives them a fresh, flat surface. If they’re worn past the minimum, they need replacing. We measure them and tell you which.
How often should brake fluid be changed?
Most manufacturers recommend every two years, but check your logbook. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which can make the pedal feel soft.
How much do brakes cost?
It depends on the car and what needs doing. Call us for a quote. We’ll check first and talk you through it before any work starts.
