FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long do brake pads last?
Brake pads typically last between 30,000 to 70,000 kilometres, depending on your driving habits, vehicle type, and driving conditions. Auckland's stop-start traffic can reduce brake pad life, so regular inspections by a brake specialist are essential. If you're searching for "brake repair near me," our Central Auckland location makes it convenient to have your brake pads checked regularly.
When should brake discs be replaced?
Brake discs should be replaced when they're warped, cracked, or worn below minimum thickness (typically 2-3mm). Signs include steering wheel vibration during braking, squealing noises, or visible scoring on the disc surface. Our brake specialists can measure disc thickness and assess whether resurfacing or complete replacement is needed during your brake pad replacement service.
When do you need to change brake pads?
You need to change brake pads when they reach 3mm thickness or less. Warning signs include squealing or grinding noises, longer stopping distances, brake pedal vibration, or the brake warning light on your dashboard. Don't wait until you hear grinding - this means metal-on-metal contact that can damage your brake discs. If you notice any of these warning signs, call us to book an appointment with our brake specialists immediately.
How long does it take to fit brake pads?
A standard brake pad replacement typically takes 1-2 hours per axle, depending on your vehicle type and whether additional work is needed. If brake discs require replacement or resurfacing, this may extend the service time. Our skilled technicians will provide an accurate time estimate after they inspect your vehicle.
