Brake - Vaucluse Auto Repairs

Brakes

The brakes are probably the most important part of your car from a safety prospective. Faulty brakes can put your and your passengers’ life at risk. If your brakes are making grinding or squealing noises or if your brake pedal is feeling spongy, you should have your brake system inspected.

We are committed to a safer motoring. Making sure your braking system is 100% functioning is one of our main priorities.

What is ABS?

An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a safety anti-skid braking system and operates by preventing the wheels from locking up during braking, thereby maintaining tractive contact with the road surface.

Our qualified and highly trained technicians will inspect, test and advise if your brakes need replacing or adjusting using their years of experience and the “Safe-T-Stop” – our latest diagnostic equipment, which not only measures your brakes but also detects dangerous brake imbalances that can cause your vehicle to lose control in an emergency stop.

When to check the brakes?

It is recommended to check the brakes on a regular basis, at least once a year. However, immediately book an appointment on if you notice the following:

a squealing noise when braking.
the steering wheel vibrates when braking
the brake pedal feels harder or softer than usual,
the brakes don’t respond immediately
the brakes and/or ABS signals are lit on your dashboard

I’ve just moved into the area and a neighbour recommended me this garage. I was a little bit reluctant as I have a Yaris compared to the classy cars they service and thought they would charge me a fortune to service my car. What an amazing service they provided and they even gave my car a wash, who does that these days? I only needed new oil and filters, even my old garage would charge me a lot more. I highly recommend this team of professionals and for the great service they provide. I’m certainly coming back here again.read more

I’ve been taking my car to Vaucluse Auto Repairs for 4 years and I have only had amazing experiences with them. The quality of work is great, they are transparent with pricing and always willing to go out of their way to source second hand parts to keep cost lower too, if needed. The service is outstanding. I was given a free loan car for the weekend while my car was getting repaired. The owner of the business Michael is very friendly, helpful and honest. The only mechanic in Sydney I trust not to try to rip people off.read more

I took my old classic Aston Martin to get serviced and I found Michael to be very experienced with classic cars. He knew everything there was to know about cars and we had a lovely chat about them. He went out of his way to make my life easier and even bought me a coffee from across the road. I collected my car a few days later and it's working like a gem once again. I would highly recommend Michael and his team to look after any classic cars. Thanks once again mate.read more

I cannot tell how much I love this garage. They have been looking after my Porsche for almost three years now, including my kids cars. They are always straight to the point, never anything extra added, they would always give me a few options if anything major needs to be done. I have always found the owner Michael to be extremely courteous, he treats everyone the same, he has an amazing generosity to the people around him and I love seeing business owners roll up there sleeves and get dirty. I would highly recommend his team of mechanic's for any job.read more

This is the second time I have had my car serviced by Michael and his team and once again I am very pleased with the service. Not only did I feel I can trust what Michael advises, he is considerably cheaper and more professional that the dealership service centres. Yes BMW Sydney, I'm talking about you.

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would! I had put my car on the market and someone sold it quicker than I had imagined (lucky!) but I needed to service it before handover. I called Michael and he moved heaven and earth to get it done for me so that the sale could go ahead. Wonderful job too. Thank you for everything!!read more
