Brakes Specialist Auckland

Brake pads can cost you anywhere from $60 to $200 in Auckland, depending on the car you drive. For example, new brake pads for Japanese and Korean models are cheaper than European models. Also, brake pads for a sports car will lie at the higher end of the price spectrum. You could also buy aftermarket parts if you are willing to trade stopping power for the low price, which is a wise thing to do for a regular family car. Pad replacement is one of the most common brake repair services and thus is fairly economical in Auckland.

Brake repairs usually consist of working on one or more of the three main components of a brake assembly: the rotor, brake pads and callipers. Brake pads wear out with time and use, whereas the rotors and callipers can last as long as the car itself - provided you get your brakes serviced regularly - a thorough brake service can set your vehicle back to its optimum state. By getting your brake assembly serviced every 50,000 miles and replacing brake pads as soon as they wear out, you will never have to worry about the repairs. However, if your mechanic recommends brake repairs during the service check, get it done right away to avoid a safety hazard down the road. Loose brake pedals are another very common occurrence - only increasing with frequent usage - and thus, should be serviced frequently.

Brake rotors or brake discs can get damaged due to constant neglect, and it starts to show sooner or later or if the brake service was not done properly the first time around. If you hear squealing noise or feel vibrations while you apply brakes, even if you have brand new brake pads, it’s a sign that your discs have worn out abnormally and require brake repairs. You can enhance your brake discs’ life with regular cleaning and service as recommended by your mechanic.
