Brake pad replacement in North Parramatta
Brake pad replacement at Vertex Automotive, 7 Daking Street, North Parramatta, is from $150 front or rear for pads on a common sedan or hatchback, with the rotors measured before we quote, the fluid checked and a road test. Rotors above the maker's minimum stay on the car.
Pads are a wear item with a warning built in. Most carry a small metal tab that squeals against the rotor when the pad is nearly finished. Leave it, and the backing plate starts cutting the rotor, and a pad job becomes pads and rotors.
More detail
Shaking or a pulsing pedal under braking is usually the rotors rather than the pads: uneven thickness makes the pedal pulse under your foot. We measure thickness and runout and tell you which part it is.
Both pads and rotors are measured with the wheels off before we quote. If the rotors are above the maker's minimum, you pay for pads only.

How much does brake pad replacement cost?
Pads on a common sedan or hatchback start from $150 for the front or the rear, fitted with the fluid checked and a road test. Rotors, and larger or European cars, are quoted first.
Why do my brakes squeal?
Usually the wear tab on the pad touching the rotor, which means the pads are close to the end. Glazed pads or brake dust can squeal too. We look and tell you which before replacing anything.
Why does the car shake when I brake?
Most often the rotors have worn unevenly, which you feel as a pulse through the pedal or the steering wheel. New pads alone will not fix it, so we measure the rotors and quote what they need.
How long do brake pads last?
It depends on the car and how it is driven. Stop-start city driving wears them fastest, and front pads usually go well before the rears. Ring us and we will measure what is left.
What are the signs my brake pads need replacing?
- A high squeal when you brake
- Grinding, metal on metal
- Shaking or a pulsing pedal when braking
- The car pulls to one side under brakes
- A brake warning light on the dash
- Pads you can see are thin through the wheel
