Your brakes are the one thing on your car you absolutely cannot compromise on. Squealing, grinding, vibration, or a spongy pedal?
Get it checked. We've seen too many cases where putting off brake work led to much bigger bills - or worse, a close call on the road. Brakes are also a critical WOF checkpoint, and worn pads or damaged discs will fail you every time.
At our Glen Innes workshop we handle brake repairs on everything from compact Mazda 2s through to heavier SUVs like the Toyota Highlander and Mitsubishi Outlander. The braking systems on modern vehicles are sophisticated, with ABS, electronic brake-force distribution, and stability control all relying on your base brake components being in good order.

How It Works
Bring your vehicle in or book an appointment, and we'll start with a thorough brake inspection. We measure pad thickness, check disc condition with a micrometer, inspect all hoses and lines, and test the brake fluid.
You'll get a clear report on what needs doing now and what can wait. Once you approve the work, we order the right parts for your vehicle, carry out the repair, and finish with a comprehensive road test to confirm everything is working perfectly.
Pricing Guide
Brake repair costs vary depending on your vehicle and the work required. European cars with larger or ventilated discs tend to be at the higher end, while common Japanese vehicles are generally more affordable.
We always quote the full job before starting so you know exactly what to expect - no surprises. Contact us for a quote specific to your vehicle.
Why Choose Eastern Bays
We use quality brake components that meet or exceed manufacturer specifications - no cheap, no-name pads that fade after five minutes of hard use. Every brake job gets a thorough road test before we hand the keys back, because we want to be absolutely sure your vehicle stops the way it should.
Our technicians have worked on braking systems across the full range of European and Japanese vehicles, from the complex multi-piston callipers on performance BMWs to the straightforward setups on Toyota Corollas and Honda Fits. We also check the entire braking system, not just the bit that's making noise - because worn pads on one axle often mean the other isn't far behind.
While you're here, we can also take care of tyre fitting, vehicle diagnostics and WOF inspection - everything under one roof at our Glen Innes workshop.
