Brake Service & Repairs FAQs
What are the signs that my brakes need replacing?
Common signs that your brakes need attention include a squealing or grinding noise when braking, a soft or spongy brake pedal, your car pulling to one side when braking, or the brake warning light appearing on your dashboard. If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to have your brakes inspected by Bosch Car Service Ringwood as soon as possible.
How much does a brake service cost?
The cost of a brake service depends on your vehicle and the extent of the work required. A simple brake pad replacement will cost less than a full replacement of pads, rotors, and calipers. We provide a detailed quote before any work begins, so you know the full cost upfront.
What is the difference between brake pads and rotors?
Brake pads are the friction material that presses against the brake rotors (discs) to slow down your car. The rotors are the metal discs that the pads clamp onto. Over time, both the pads and rotors wear down and need to be replaced.
How often should I have my brakes inspected?
We recommend having your brakes inspected at least once a year or every 15,000 kilometers. Regular inspections can identify wear and tear before it becomes a serious safety issue, saving you money on more extensive repairs down the line.
Do you use quality parts for brake repairs?
Yes, we use high quality brake components from trusted brands like Bosch. This ensures your braking system performs reliably and safely, and all parts are covered by our Nationwide Warranty.
How long does a brake service take?
A standard brake pad replacement can usually be completed in approximately 2 hours. A more extensive service involving rotor replacement or other repairs may take longer. We will give you an estimated timeframe when you book your vehicle in.
Can you machine my brake rotors?
In some cases, we can machine or resurface your brake rotors to extend their life and ensure a smooth braking surface. However, if the rotors are too thin or warped, they will need to be replaced to ensure your safety.
